Frequency Seeker

I wish I were home
Could I be alone
And a touch not be felt
And a path be not taken
Listen
Scream the beat, no melody -
Disharmony, reach out and touch me -
Bang a key, forget a deed in dreamtime
Past our dreamtime
Majesty's symphony,
Gray black
Play back
Taupe ashen sunset in charity
There's music here, let's make them feel,
Don't touch that dial, lost a wavelength away - in clarity, it's far away...
Forget me
Leave me, all deceive me,
Lucid music memory
- Bang a key -
Beat a track, and surf the other frequency
You'll never find me
I can see the stars below, the people in their happy houses,
I can hear the setting of the sun
Tone analog digital, don't push that button,
- I promise, I might not, come home.
Fragmentary tune out, let the ripple of the
Taut and static cymbal, tingle tangle here forgotten
Echo all alone and in the night
Chaos, Static noise my home.
