lirik lagu no reservation - madness (live at the local dunkin')
[intro]
i’d like to thank you all for coming to my slam poetry night. uh, i know it was very short notice, but i have something that i need to express. um, there’s not much of a crowd tonight, but i think that’s ok. thank you all for coming
“we’re making it into the hood with this one!”
[spoken word: akio & drago]
there’s a song~ no, a melody, a manacle wrapped tight around my skull, clinking & clanging every time i try to think. it’s everywhere, in the car speakers, through my tv, bleeding through headphones i swear were off my head
headphones..
headphones, those godd~mn headphones. big, black, over~the~ear ones, staring like eyes that don’t blink. they sit there, quiet. lifeless, but the song plays anyways, like they’re leaking sound straight to my soul
i turn off my phone, shut down my pc, but it follows from a new screen, the one in my mind. my mind’s inner eye, how, god, how i wish i could gouge it out with an icepick
the song, it plays & it plays & it plays, always louder than it should reasonably be. it consumes me like the pitch white abyss of early morning fog. i get lost in its screeching, bleeding rhythm. a rhythm not made for dancing, no, but for drowning
my thoughts, once birds & bugs, trapped in amber, stuck in mid~flight, mid~scream, frozen in a loop that’s not quite music, not quite silence, but the agony that lies in~between
i try to hum over, sing louder, clap my hands, stamp my feet, make some noise, please, god, make it stop. but it’s always there. one note ahead, one breath deeper, one screech sharper & louder than mine
i tried prayer, burnt incense, meditated until the room spun like a vinyl record, but the track skipped & it started again. over, & over
i don’t know what the song wants. i don’t know if it’s warning me, haunting me, or becoming me. but every night it grows louder until my dreams are just static & my heartbeat taps along to its rhythm
one day.. one day i know that i’ll open my mouth & instead of words, the song will come out instead. not words, not screams, just that godd~mn tune, echoing from the hollow vessel that i used to call myself
do you hear it?
it’s here
listen
“no!!!”
