Psychedelic Indulgences and- by *AestheticParadise:iconAestheticParadise:



Despite appearances
We’re really living
On the edge of survival
                                   I am your conscience, baby

So let’s kill some time
And have a WAR of our own
One we can pretend
                (is like playing chess)

We set up our toy soldiers
Line ‘em up all across the floor
And with such dramatic flare
                                              They’ll all fall  d
                                                                 o
                                                                 w
                                                                 n
                                                                         in flames

                                                                  Some of us will learn
                                                          What none of us should know


Deep inside our own minds
                                     I am your conscience, baby
The fringes is where we thrive
We love to divulge in the void
That we call mind, body, and soul
                                                  I am your conscience, baby

I recognize this guy’s way of thinking

                          so I’ve lived in my                                                   /////blind spot/////
                                                    thought myself usual when I’m not

FUCK WHAT THEY SAY - what do you have to prove?



                                                                 Smoke will fill this room
                                                           There’ll be nothing left to show

            My kingdom for a heart


We all F          a          d          e
Like COLORS dissolve
Into pure                                               WHITE
                                                                                                      A new slate
                                                                                           A chance to start over

We all F          a          d          e
Like chalk lines
Only to be washed away
                                                                                                When our time is up
- would we call it life
                             (or death or fate)
                                                                   [ ? ]

            My kingdom for a cigarette

Living is like drawing
-without an eraser-

            “My kingdom for a horse.”
                                              (of course Shakespeare always said it better)

There is a path…
                             -from me to you-
that I am constantly looking for

L      O      V      E      I      S      T      H     E      R      E      L      I      G      I      O      N      I      N      M      E

When all is said
You are the words
When I’ve nothing left to say

                     …when all is said and done…

                                                                  Hold on to the ones you love
                                                             There will be time to show enough





There was a curve approaching



                                                                             She gave no indications of slowing

I just had the overwhelming urge to post this, so I did. :P

***

A huge thank you goes to ~youneverasked because without his brilliance I wouldn't have done what I did with this.

****

Just so you - my reader - are aware, the stanzas involving toy soldiers/war was sparked from Amanda Palmer's song "Guitar Hero".

This, my dear, is brilliant in a way I cannot touch. I am so pleased that any advice of mine might have contributed to the birth of this piece.
The formatting... it's beautiful. The words jump all over as much as the though does.
Bravo. :hug:

Why, thank you. And thank you so much for the advice.
I'm glad you think so.

This is one of those you need to read a few times (always a good thing)
But I wonder if it shouldn't be "I am your conscience" instead of "I am your conscious"?

Ah, my poor English skills. *nervous laughter* Thank you for the catch! :D
I think I had the wrong definition!
