Treasure-Trail

Abysmal bass blows holes mid-air, celestial beings break bones. It upsets the balance, and takes control. "Stare up with me" the air gets thick like a translucent Saviour. "Breathe in and release, feel it rescue every temple in your body" We obey. Our necks are crooked, stalking the rain with our eyes, waiting for every bead to sting as it explodes. Climbing to the peak of ferocious stone gods. You feel it in the back of your head taking colossal steps, up and up. "Some thing's about to happen" Anxious butterflies attack your stomach, lifting primal energy up and up. Surge of electricity. Abandoning simplicity. Keep climbing up and up. "If we fall, its over" CONFUSION fights FREEDOM. ONE LAST STEP "I think we made it" We explode into sub-atomic beams of light, spreading infectious positive energy to all with open ears. Hold on tight to skeletal boundaries, throwing ourselves into plump, fabric clouds. "We are so beautiful" Caution took the exit, jealous in all this confusion, one wrong step, and you fall. Failing to climb the air with your feet, desperation greets you with an iconic smile Minds collide. Identities collapse. Limp, they crawl under hostile rocks. Freedom breaks free and you feel the warmth of a smile. Brings you back down, to buried animalistic tendencies and the treasure-trail to happiness.
