Fluorescent

Fluorescent

Written by: Kelly Cameron, Grade 10

Intriguing how the lack of sight in arms can overcome

Senses combine and strengthen passion, nothing has been done

A silent din will soon erupt, sends shivers up a spine

Ruin love with dull bland shades, it surely is a crime

Drinking in a sinful lust that always speaks of Eden

Gazing out to the dark matter that our voice is feeding

Little sense and psychedelic thoughts like LSD

Facing everything and nothing human eyes can see

Six feet under us, we are six feet above the source

Clawing at my ankles, uncalled for, but it’s the course

Smiling at it all in a swirl of apparitions

Living in a zone of exploding dead transmissions

Freaking out at everything and anything presented

Forgetting about all the things we’ve ever documented

Relish all the moments high above and on the world

Lashing out with ribbons that our memories have unfurled

Try and fail and try again to see the things we see

Try and fail to see the romance in this gorgeous dream

Technicolor everything, perhaps it’s just as well

To let it be, enjoy it while it lasts, pre-light up hell

Not dead again, but alive upon the foreign dark

The unknown, I ask to fill me with those blinding sparks

Destroying silence, massacre the tears and make the vow

'Cause every time we say it, lights light up, and sound turns down
