I guess we'll just have to adjust
It moved from 4 stars to 5 stars on my iTunes list a couple months ago, but now I'm just going to make a blanket declaration...
Wake Up is the best song of the 21st century.
I keep having dreams about people from my past. I keep seeing things or hearing things that penetrate right into my heart. Like a lyric. Like a sound. Like maybe the piercing twists and spreads and sends needles down my arm. Hand shakes. Then forcing myself not to push it away, to let it sit, to deal with it, to feel it and allow it to dissipate. Down to tingles, to nothing. Shell.
I keep thinking I know what it's like to feel purpose. Same day maybe, musing and contemplating. Get filled with an intense sense of direction. Energy charged down from space pulsing into my body. Vividness and clarity. A spark at the end of a fuse. In a cannon with many cannonballs... but nothing to shoot at. No battle that's mine, no target to aim at. And so, I thumb out the flame. Snuff.
And I look out below and no one knows the difference.
