Motion Sickness - Attica! Attica!

Wipe the dead skin from these keys

So I can start this one off clean

Let me introduce the scene

Act 1 scene 1 a baby grand with broken strings

Enter stage left a drifter lost and foraging

And in his hand a notebook filled up with his out-of-tune musings

He turns a page and he plays and sings this song

Five billion suffering while i sleep underground

Always en route to the next goodbye

A mother slaps her child but the kid don’t make a sound

And to my surprise neither do i

So i’ll just cut out my tongue and rip out my lungs

'cause they’re useless and atrophied

And i’ll fly them like kites applauding their sacrifice

Oh yes it’ll be one great afternoon

Hell yes it’ll be one great afternoon

When these burdens fly away like red balloons

Have i gone insane

Dreaming of hijacking this train

Tears stream as i accelerate

To speeds where time willingly dilates

And i’ll watch this world die through these windows

It’s blurring but I still see people who could use my help

So I reach out

But i’m moving too fast

So I cry loud

I can’t hold my grasp

With no home my only keys are these yellowed ivories

And i’ll ask them rhetorically

Is this all that my hands can do?
