I was bored. And i was feeling creative. so i decided to enter into the Gorillaz Search for a Star contest, we'll see where that goes.
Because of this, I typed up a piece of poetry I've recently finished. I only submitted parts III and IV to the contest. You all get to see the whole thing, whopeee.
Prometheus Suite. I - V
I - The Defense Rests (it was never awake)
You don’t know these things I’ve seen
pale skinned warrior, your eyes shine bright with
stifled innocence
So lift beyond your eyes - exposure through your alibis
Breakdown in the fortress
a rally for your dead
heretic pitfall - don’t you go scrounging through those sheets for me
foresight is in this game
but I promise to act just like your ally
even when I UP and attack - exposure in this little lie
breakdown in the fortress
a rally for your dead
heretic pitfall don’t you go
scrounging through these dirty sheets for me
Dare me to find the strength. This is how I count to ten.
No one is left to stop me now -
this energy burns across the lion merging backside turner no more pain,
this is the ignorance you breath. This is the nothing you can do.
Breakdown in the fortress, a rally for the dead
Heretic pitfall don’t you go
Scrounging through those dirty sheets for me
II Ne’er-Do-Well
swear fealty to a dying god bloated baroness how do you plea? misunderstand misunderstood
we are all adults here. start acting like it.
funny thing I see myself, lost among this void you’ve dug
there is no question to this answer
there is no ailment for this cure
Hope can only call for me now
this is futile and this is -
funny thing I see myself lost among this void you’ve dug.
-
faltering freedoms how can you tell?
there is no end to this
“Tomorrow” is Their last resort
is this their secret? Lachesis, why?
funny thing I see myself lost among this void you’ve dug
funny thing I see myself
lost among this void you’ve been buried in
and now there is no one to venture free from this train wreck of fallen faith faltered freedom air has thickened
III in all fairness, this was my reality first
theological nomenclature
Prometheus was there - he always was
how he watched with his dehydrated eyes
Undiscovered orbs of hidden redemption.
I have the key to free him. Ensnared for his gifts to man. Living from his sin, we create within a MEDICINAL RUIN > Prometheus chained in pain and torture
Make this pyre monumental for him
He alone has made us these madmen .
Enzymes torn across the sky.
I have never seen such.
Prometheus, you don’t seem to know the gravity of what you’ve done
And here is I - the orator.
The Schizotypal Suitor.
critiquing a dying god
and for that I shall make you suffer.
Prometheus bound in pain and torture make this pyre monumental for him. He alone has given us the tools to - ... without him we never would have wrought this damage
Prometheus. ensnared in time and terror make this pyre monumental for him. He will never be free.
IV Thoughts Implanted
Those who have screamed through their
veils of apathy
Follow me, follow me
And those who have broke free from their
tales of terror follow me
follow me. (for I am weak and need your faith for harvesting and safe keeping.)
You don’t have to be the only -
and I have the last key to his pale horse
This is not my wish tonight. But I’ll follow you - this is my lifestyle, after all.
Break here. (but don’t. I was just kidding.)
Bus. Parked at road.
Road ahead - it’s a long path to Mordor. that yellow brick road can’t last forever. The bright hole throughout the tunnel of your mind
This one can’t look like the others.
That is the mark of a failure - life is supposed to be like this - right?
Righteously fulfill these wishes.
THIS IS ME ALONE ON A ROAD TO A LONG NIGHT.
personal statement above.
Who needs a gravity slap?
THIS IS ME WITH A MINDLESS ON THE LONG LONELY ROAD TO A VERY LONG NIGHT.
Continuated personal statement above.
This is just another chronicle, a few steps to the next acknowledged.
Pyramidical finals- I don’t know this.
I don’t know any of this.
but I know that I don’t know any of this is what I know. that’s all I know.
(mylegisgonemyfootisgone)
be grateful blood pumps back for you.
I have broken down.
But not really.
I was just kidding.
This is us together on the lonely, winding pathway to a never
ending
night.
...please represent your number.
Scandalous sword
who do you serve (the following is not a word)
ephemratic laser point
let the dying gods begin their fall
Retrospective perspective.... where am I now?
V You Earthlings Succumb
To such a pitiful existence
How can you withstand such things -
I will bore a path for you
Nothing can stop us now.
Painful lies and alibis,
you are not the one.
Try again, try again
Prometheus laughs from his bindings.
I will burn a path for you
Nothing can stop me now.
Such power I’ve gained by transcending existence
Here I shall forge by throne
And I’m burning,
we’re burning under the weight of
our fathers.
Help me now.
My path has been flooded. It’s a dead end - I am far too apathetic to change this filthy world.
I won’t bare this path for you
Nothing can stop me now.
And here I shall sit until the end of my sentence
Prometheus laughs and straps me down.
end.
Yeah, there's a shitload of formatting and even some color that I'm too lazy to HTML and shit. Whatever. Enjoy, if you bother to read it.
...i actually did work really hard on this one, too.
