Lucie's Dreaming Part Two 'Where It Goes Helter Skelter'

HAVE YOU READ PART ONE YET? IT MAY MAKE SLIGHTLY MORE SENSE IF YOU HAVE {although I'm not giving guarantees.} I cannot hold thee anymore Think I'm dyin' and much more I try slammin' shut the door Why does time put pressure on us all I close my eyes so I don't let them fall An' juggle over my thighs like a marble ball Struggling to make any sense of it all I'm caught, staying in a a loop Of retrograde hoops and renegade droops Has this verse been pre-rehearsed This script seems to be in reverse I crumbled and broke apart in the earth And tumbled over ribbons of myself Dumbly I tried to hide the scene I took some coke and smoked some green What did it do to me? Nightmares should only be in dreams And where or what's that speaking between? I hurried, I had to flee Scurrying among valleys deep With shadows that scream And caveats that darken Through these endless fields Can I please ever leave My prayers been repealed Down the white rabbits burrow, the fox does now follow These critters in winter My moth eaten wings 'urt And frost bitten fingers I fear they want to rape me Through my screams I burn My wings aren't holding on Everywhere I seem to turn I can't escape myself I've a bare behind and where are my clothes? I'm feeling blind as the darkness encroaches Down, down too high, crashing to the floor Gravities dragging me through a door Down, down, as time comes clashing in once more If I can't stop, I'll fall into the sun Out of my pocket something flopped Now what was it that I dropped That once unlocked can't be stopped I must jump off before I fall The sspeed of sssound, remained still out of sight Three dancers were bound, in chains of golden light The answers I found, gave me quite a fright And who's that whispering to me? There's a reason these corners they all keep out of reach Colours have drained away like coral now been bleached But being insane has something new to teach May you remember the lesson I need to change the paradigm Stick the needle in a different line Now it's alright again behind my eyes. The bliss has returned, this twist has been earned As the sandcastles rebuild From the hour glass that was spilled And times been all but killed My heads in the clouds, and I'm gone.
