John Lennon said "Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans."
He died a long time ago.
Sound Waves don't last very long
Long enough for your ears to have a taste
Or suffer
Sound Waves travel as far as the walls permit; with added bonuses depending on where you are
Sound Waves don't last very long
Unless you're waiting for what
The black hole at the center of The Perseus Galaxy Cluster has to say
That's the loudest it gets; according to experts
Sit back and wait around
I make sounds on the regular
Turn the guitar amp to 11
Clean and distorted channels balanced
Get the perfect crunch
Foot pedal activated
Eleven songs and Spiteburner has finished our set
The last sound wave takes only a couple seconds
before the whole show is a thing of the past
Was it a beautiful time?
Did I set you free?
Will you find yourself humming a tune?
A solid $20 in my pocket
Thanks
My Morning Jacket slayed it last Friday
I'm still hearing it
Now I own part of the sounds
Catch it on the market for free
With added bonuses
My generation has the most preserved sounds
so far
You can't own sound (technically)
So slake your thirst on my waves
After all is said and done
After the big event
I hope I made you happy
Where is my place?
What have I done for you?
You decide
John Lennon said
"Expert, texpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you"
