Faster


Faster-- 


 

As the world around me slows down


 

Faster--

 

A drum

Weeping

Throbbing

Exploding

 

Faster--

A blur of colors

A thick 

Dense fog

Faster

The world’s lights fade away

Faster

But not the voice 

Faster

They damage the white canvas

FASTER

Ripping tearing shredding

Faster

Last breath escapes 

Faster

The world is gone

Faster

Faster

Slower

A flow of air ignites the flame

Slower 

The dark clock gives way

 

Slower

 

Think fog blown away

 

Slower

As the drum beats strong and steady

 

Life gave meaning



 

I never want to go that fast again
