The After Dark Solar Project

if electrical particles

could cling to the dust

like the light does

in the air

you could run

appliances

anywhere

if we

were so smart

and clever

this would be

a thing

you see

if we just stopped

trying to milk and suck

everything

for a quick buck

and actually

took the time

to smell the roses

in the garden

not the shop

none of this

would make

any sense

so you'd assume

that i would stop

but that's just a word

for crossroad signs

and dates

that have gone

too far

are you smelling

the shit i’m selling

it aint cheap

i might be yelling

but i’m not telling

not one word

not one single fucking peep

like a subplot

in a not so sucky tv show

and it’s getting to be

it’s starting to go

another making

another faking

another dart to the left

another loop

like a freaky slapshot

in a hurried summers game

like a fading snapshot

in a "something other" frame

like that

like a headshot

like that

like a sports analogy

like that

up on your head

like a hat

don't forget the roses

and other simple things

if you don’t remember

you cant forget

watch out for the pricks

as well as the thorns

anyone can trip

it’s how you get up

that counts

don't regret

a past reset

cause it aint yours

it aint yours to sweat

cause it aint over

till it’s over

and it’s

not

over

yet
