MUSIC

It starts out slow
Hinting at something more
A haunting voice
Barely an echo
Moving you across mountains
With its words
Indescribable words

The build is there
Your body feels it
While the voice keeps talking
To the night
Thankful, to be alive

It moves you through trees
Grabbing your hand and pulling
Begging to be believed
Right here right now
As the crescendo comes
Slapping your legs like
Ocean water that stings

The build is here
We can’t deny it
Devouring everything
With dark clouds
Thankful, to be alive

Can you feel it in your chest
Pulling and pushing
Eyes closed
Pleading with you
Take the beat, the bass, the vibration
With you on your way
Let it sink in deep up to your waste

Let the build devour you
Open your mouth and spill it out
The reverb in your bones
Pulsing in the air
Asking, do you love that you’re alive

It can’t stop now
Snaking through your ribs
Lighting up each heartbeat
Lightning in your breath
Drumming a rhythm you can’t let go
Can’t escape
Pulling your legs from beneath you
Tipping you into oblivion

Everything is consumed
By the upswell in the riffs
The longing in the chords
It’s built up towers in your rafters
Fortresses in your tears
No longer contained

It grips the air around you
Feasting on the billowing sounds
That have taken over your body
Cracked open your bones
Spilled forth from within
Pulsing in time with the sirens
That wail a chorus in the background

And when it stops
You slowly float back down
Taken apart
Put back together
By the sounds

You lay still upon the ground
Longing for it to come back around
One more time
