Array ( [sid] => 21536 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => pills [time] => 2003-08-06 13:25:00 [hometext] => take a guess... [bodytext] => slow motion speech
distorted faces
i see the blobs again
the white noise returns
and the room spins
spit out of a hole
that i don't remember falling into

the purple one brings the goblins
who try to steal my soul
the blue ones make my legs disappear
and i float, but upside-down

the bugs are everywhere
they scare me, but i eat them
a display of aggression
that they are familiar with
they all know me here

i can hear people talking backwards
but i can't see them
it's probably "them", the watchers
the ones who wait, the ones who watch
the ones who want me dead
they can't scare me when i'm like this
not with this lightning shooting off my fingers

i am the magic man
my face is plastic and easily discarded
you'll never spot me in a crowd

an old man lives under my bed
that's why i never walk around my room
he wants to grab my legs
and pull me into his world
and i think i know who that man is
i think i know what he wants to do
when he catches me

i've had a couple seizures
but i don't mind them much
pitch black dreams of death throes
and the skeletal faces of forsaken angels

i can still hear the screams when i wake

the silver pixies attack me with glitter
and i slip into coma
every fear is paraded out
and my lightning can't save me here
closet kept monsters, freaks of all shapes
and as always, my own face, my real face
stripped of mask

but, when i wake, i take a few more
and i'm back with the bugs on the rug
even though we're natural enemies
they crawl on me when i'm scared
and it's somehow soothing

(sometimes i just float away
the blue is everywhere
i'm like a cloud
and i can actually smile here
i become everything
i become nothing
i eat myself to feed the other
the other feeds himself to eat me
and everything is still blue
blue)

i am the magic man
my face is plastic and easily discarded
you'll never spot me in a crowd
i am a shade of grey
and my birthmark is hieroglyphic
it represents the snake that eats itself [comments] => 2 [counter] => 145 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Cancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
