Thick Smoke

thick smoke rises above the audience
in this small venue dimmed with red
the notes flow like leaves in the wind
they’re stroking and bathing me in dawn

the groovy rhythm, an embrace that sways
the dizzy artist
the disco king is not very far away
he’s found his black stars

yesterday
we had no choice but to
discount songs
in this depressing place

What's everybody afraid of
in hours like these?
How long have I been blind?

it's all done
in the blink of an eye
it's all done
the hell gone through
the impossible
the envy of meaning
trapped by more destructive figures

I remember should have beens
looking for something in the beyond
a poetic and insane beauty
you don't know
i've flown away

magic is alive
as it’s always been
now I shine with my black stars
magic is alive

truth is i've made an exit
in the ghost light
with every heartbeat
