Where the off keys are the subtleties Missing symmetries linking beats Rhythms rhyming daytime stories With nighttime attitudes Dudes and ladies Going crazy in lime light More impressed by concept than conception Misguided perhaps maybe blinded Influenced so greatly By something stirred gently On the off chance What they need to say Matches what was heard Wheezed into a microphone 30 feet away Elevated, but not above Their ability for connection And desire for attention Packed rooms full of people Wanting a label To cling to or sing to Making it easier to declare with conviction Instead of trying to stick out by fitting in (Afruitless effort, except by the trend setters)

open mic night
Where the off keys are the subtleties Missing symmetries linking beats Rhythms rhyming daytime stories With nighttime attitudes Dudes and ladies Going crazy in lime light More impressed by concept than conception Misguided perhaps maybe blinded Influenced so greatly By something stirred gently On the off chance What they need to say Matches what was heard Wheezed into a microphone 30 feet away Elevated, but not above Their ability for connection And desire for attention Packed rooms full of people Wanting a label To cling to or sing to Making it easier to declare with conviction Instead of trying to stick out by fitting in (Afruitless effort, except by the trend setters)
