surprises

it's a blandness on my tastebuds
then a contrast with blooming rosebuds
this contradiction i live from second to second
and all of it marked by a lack of breath
and a constant shadow of death

so with useless legs i run
towards a magenta sun
embracing fun and everyone
because i'm one of those silly people who believes in eveyone
despite all the things ive seen and done

oh god you'll never cease to amaze me
the way the sky is ablaze, see
it's all mezmerizing
the dull moments never overshadow this ultimate excitement
