So Deep In Static

I've got a feeling
And it's taking its toll
I'm caught up in a riptide
Of an emotional rift
I've been casting out prayers
Into the greater beyond
While the future lays submerged
And the words lost in translation

Still the white noise in my head
Threatens to expand and explode
It fills me up with its' static

Like worlds that collide
So much for the pleasure and pain
I've been tilting at windmills

And shadows in the dark
It's all automatic
When I'm so deep in static

I've been thinking at night
Sending out thoughts and refrains
Writing down messages deciphering the vibes
I listen to the static and noise
Their meanings are hidden
In whorls and swirls

And the shadows in the dark
It's all automatic
When I'm so deep in static

Don't get exposed to their radio waves
It's a plot to undermine us all
And steal our secrets away
You may think it's all static and noise
But the truth is much darker
So please don't ask me to explain

Because the white noise in my head
Threatens to expand and explode
It fills me up with its' static

Like worlds that collide
So much for the pleasure and pain
I've been tilting at windmills

And shadows in the dark
It's all automatic
When I'm so deep in static

It's all automatic
When I'm so deep in static
It's all automatic
When I'm so deep in static
It's all automatic
When I'm so deep in static...

    You send out a surge, a rush of power with your repetition in the ending lines and stanzas!
    I was sitting on the edge of my seat with this one.
    Exceptional work!

    Thanks for entering. Good luck.

    i liked those lines
    you've written this as a song huh? i think it would work very well that way. maybe tighten it up and get rid of useless words.
    thank you for entering and good luck

    this generally wouldn't be my thing, but i actually can acknowledge that you did this very well. it held the lyrical quality that it should, and was impressive in that nature. thank you for this entry. dusty

    I could definitely hear the music as I read this... the lines "Like worlds that collide / So much for the pleasure and pain / I've been tilting at windmills" really rock.

    (Okay, this is nitpicky, but it's " its, " not " its' " in the 2nd line. That really doesn't take away from the lyrics at all, it just made me blink a few extra times.)

    U made me think that i listen to too much music but nothing else, you made me think, good job
    But really, I can see this being turned into a great song, it may not have amazed me but impressed me it did indeed. Great job with the lryics, I want some vocals and a good bass with this and you could hit the charts.
    I'm going to put you in finalist, you'll at the very least make Honorable Mention of sure.
