Veins pinned down by a stuttering mind, Blood spills out, always pumping in time, Voices cry harmoniously, The haunted sound of melancholy, Then fast and furious, a glimmer of wisdom, An epiphany, a lyrical mystery, But like all things, the end comes too soon, And all thats left behind is a vague memory, Floating unconscious, a melody that glides, A beat to the soul, hidden in our minds, Never quite escaping, confined by reason, Inspiration slides in this Mirage of rhythm. ----- Hemstock & Jennings - Mirage (Of Hope)
