Whispering Into Oblivion

Buddy Lackey

the candy cane calliope

comes rushing ever slow for me

the paling shades of indigo

are raining from the sky

the storybook chameleon smiles

the dreamer stays awake awhile

detune the discord violins

play them long for me



two tries second flies

spider ties the little flies

wide eyed sky spies

idolized the bible lies

realize they hypnotize, remoralize, dehumanize

futilize, finalized the lies advise

or otherwise you know



your shoes, my plate

the god love you only feel through hate

your soul is dead, you're only living in your head

these pills you taste, they drag your shadow onto your face

your knees may bend, it don't matter if they bled

sometime you'll find the heaven that you all left behind

was all the time just a picture in your mind

the thing that's sad, I mean the thing that really makes it bad

is you knew it all along man, you knew it all along



whispering things to the everflow

the blue changing yellows that painted the sky

colors the place that I want to go

the slow breathing mescaline circus rows by

shadows that drip through this fluidness

they sink to the surfaces fluttering high from me

voices tell no one about me here

I sing to them slowly as they wave goodbye to me



two tries second flies

spider ties the little flies

wide eyed sky spies

idolized the bible lies

realize they hypnotize, remoralize, dehumanize

futilize, finalized the lies advise

or otherwise you know



in a pierce of light, sharp with the fragrances

of the thin and tired dawn

the silken and burning face of her sleeping frail picture

you know . . .
