Monotonouse isn't it?
The day to day passing...
The whur of the gentle machinery...
Always humming always spinning.
Never a loose hinge.
You wake, you bath, you drive, you work, you eat, you sleep.
Pleasant isn't it?
Life with a careless smile.
Why worry?
You know that tomorrow it will be the same.
You'll wake, you'll bath, you'll drive, you'll work, you'll eat, you'll sleep.
To the same pace.
Kept by the same rythm.
Why stress about what if?
You know it will be the same.
You hate it don't you?
Like me?
I hate the gentle, pleasant, constant, sweet, silver hum of the machine.
I need life.
A pulse.
Friction.
Heat.
Passion.
Not hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I need thump thump slip pow!
Stop the machine!
Please!
It's hurting me!
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
No more!
It echoes...
It haunts my dreams!
It's screaming at me!
Constant irritant, and spiteful lover!
My ears bleed from it's soft song!
Take it away!
Make it stop!
Give me voices!
Take away the hum!
Take away the serenity, the peace, the solemnity!
Give me a wrench in the system!
Give me a cotastraphy!
Give me pain!
Give me LIFE!
I've let my sanity rot here making my living,
But I'd sell my soul to finally live!
