Blessed Neurosis

about

Music inspired by Blackroc. Words inspired by...well...life.

lyrics

Anxiety
is not a bad thing
to share
Neither is neurosis
Both
make for great icebreakers

We
met in a crowd
smirking twitched miliseconds
crack crack knuckles, thoughts
and heads suddenly found the floor
fascinating
But
when we faced, a
fallen power line found
the ocean and smoked the ozone
between us:

"You don't want inside these eyes"

The only story I truly know
is my own
That is to say
I know nothing, but
I speculated that your's
might feature similar content
or keystrokes
At very least, the margins
bowed and swelling against
the rough, curved letters of
our mutual un-knowing, hack scratch
scrawled past page's end and
the story for future anniversaries
bleeding into the tabletop

Which is as far as we got
A brief, brilliant flash
made impossible by
too many things we refuse
to be medicated for

Anxiety
is not a bad thing
to share
Neither is neurosis
Without both, we
would never have
imagination
