Repetition (Song Adaptation – First Try)

Here it is, guys – a bit rough, I understand.  It has some noise from the breeze blowing about the window and whatnot, but I’m pretty happy with it, at the moment.  I may try to record a better quality version when I get a bit better handle on this whole sound manipulation gig, but this will do for now.  I hope you enjoy it

Repetition is…

~

The dismemberment of the mind

And the atrophy of the soul.

~

“I will remember to endeavor to never forget

To follow tradition without thought, without question…

~

…without reflection of inclination or reason…”

You’ll write this 100 times, or it’s treason.

You’ll live this 200 times before your season

~

—My father’s weary eyes melt inward.

All hail the death of the majority’s hero!

Surely he knew exactly

what his father’s fathers had done—

~

“…And I won’t ask whether I’m out of line.”

As long as you cage someone else, you’ll be fine.

~

So light the lies of compromise,

then watch them all blow out like flies,

one by one, you setting sons.

~

But don’t forget that still inside

you’re kissing all sweet hells in life,

you’re full of rage, and yet so young.
