Array ( [sid] => 101957 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => False Positive [time] => 2005-07-23 21:18:18 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Adding insult to my wounds
Tucked under eyelids
Salt poured in autonomous silence

Tonsils ripped like chords to a shred
The snap of fingers demands respect
And so received revenge he will get

Practice futility
And embrace the utility of your mind
The trance that inflicts the prophesies of your faithful kind

Linguistic logic says
A metaphor on to itself is dead
A mirror image of exactly what was previously said

Interpreted by the eyeball
Processing things of relevant consequence
Avoiding a false positive negating the hypothesis

A heap of heavens gold
Sits like a plethora of the life force
Giving credence to the struggle and the bearable cost

Take away all of it
The uses for semantics are faint and scarce
Like the romantics in love who never bother to care

In keeping with your unique self
And in realizing your potential and true self worth
A hint of positive in a false negative world

False Positive

Topic: oops

Adding insult to my wounds
Tucked under eyelids
Salt poured in autonomous silence

Tonsils ripped like chords to a shred
The snap of fingers demands respect
And so received revenge he will get

Practice futility
And embrace the utility of your mind
The trance that inflicts the prophesies of your faithful kind

Linguistic logic says
A metaphor on to itself is dead
A mirror image of exactly what was previously said

Interpreted by the eyeball
Processing things of relevant consequence
Avoiding a false positive negating the hypothesis

A heap of heavens gold
Sits like a plethora of the life force
Giving credence to the struggle and the bearable cost

Take away all of it
The uses for semantics are faint and scarce
Like the romantics in love who never bother to care

In keeping with your unique self
And in realizing your potential and true self worth
A hint of positive in a false negative world
