Here is something more
Something sounds so great
A new interpretation
Brand new way of thinking
Something to take with you
Put it in the back
Of your mind with
Your precious little song
Louder than the cold rain
Falling from the Sun
Exaggerated opinions
Forcing you to
Compensate for
Being such a worthless hypocrite

You’re not loud enough
Just try to focus here
I’m being serious
It’s not a pick-me-up
Take the waiting out
What do you have left
Just a mourning
And the morning after

So act like
Nothing else will
Ever happen
And every blink is
A momentary lapse of
Sickness
When all the pieces
Line up so
Perfectly well

Now you’re getting
Louder

Louder than expected
I can not say
How proud of this
I am

Like all the city trains were
Speeding
Into the sea
Down
In the vastness
Of a dream
Where you will
Live and die
Just like the
Mundane
Ordinary
Promotion possibility
Cup of coffee
New suit
Morning paper
Clip-on tie

Pint of Jack
Just don’t ask
I will not tell
Keep it on the bottom
If it’s what
Gets you through
Another day

Here’s what I say

Sing it loud
Sing it long
The feeling in your heart
I know it’s there
I heard it
Once before
So long ago

Sing it again
Do it again
Over and over

The singing just gets
Better every
Moment
a star dies
