all the greatest hearts and minds
tell me not to worry
as the world falls apart around us all
but that's besides the point...
excuse me while I stop the epic chorus
whose words at just the right pitch
that is slightly off
is demanding me to live with passion
even as i lay in my own fluids
not being able to move
no matter how fast my heart talks
telling me
I'm Alive I'm Alive I'm Alive
all the greatest hearts and minds
tell me...no, that was besides the point...
what is the point?
excuse me while I stop the dream
that dances on my soul
like my soul is inanimate or...
like of course it can take a beating
because it's going to live forever anyway?
all the greatest hearts and...
stop there.
focus on the beat.
in synchronicity
pounding swiftly
in the dark
pressed together
all the greatest hearts and minds
vanish, and leave us
with only now
that's the point.
excuse me,
while I step into the street
with the sure footed irony
who's only now
is a memory
of tomorrow...
and she walked in the rain
to the corner deli
as flickering streetlights
made me jealous of the
shadows that danced with her
excuse me,
while i vanish
with the greatest hearts and minds
to a shadow land
and learn to dance
and listen
to only
a beat
that
carries
me
to
you
