the opportunist

from UNDEFINED by the garages

by seb (bigredsun.bandcamp.com )

the loudest voice in the hall
seasons ago you took the fall for him, then he fell to her
you've been looking so long for a way out of here
a system tuned just wrong
a single note off key
who needs a song when you can scream?

a staticky soul
an opening wormhole
opportunist creature that you are, you take the gamble
tearing at skin
"where have you been" is what you imagine
then you fall onto the grass

oh, from fire and sulfur
oh, to storm and thunder
the screech of feedback in a broken speaker
oh, to have a second chance at life
oh, to be a zombie by design
to have escaped the reaper
and made it your own
