Choking Earthshine

Can I give into-
This sickening depression
Mental spears casting infection

The psychic game
Claustrophobic
Choked by souls

What's your worry?
Don't quit the game.
I'm so worried!
It's all the same.

Lost on a muddy pebble
Life choking life
Can you calm your craze?

Caked in haze
This dusty failure
Can we save her?

Is there a chance to elope?
Escape the hail pouring down
Wish we couldn't give up hope
But where else can be found?

Author notes

Gojira - Ocean Planet

(I could have gone heavier with Toxic Garbage Island, but Mars to Sirius is probably their best album. I look forward to doing one for Pursuit of Vikings too.)

  • I like the short lines in this piece, it gives it a very 'clean' feel, if you know what I mean? Uncluttered, I suppose would be a better description.

    Good write and congrats on bronze

    (Sorry for the delay in comment)

  • I really like the raw edge feel it gives me, nicely done
