| This is the second of the songs written for my
not-quite-in-existence-but-may-be-a-definite-possibility-at-some-point
piece Horror! the
Musical.
However, though I wrote the song in the spring of 2012, I
didn't
perform it until about a year later. It would come
into the
musical immediately following the female protagonist's soul being torn
violently from her body. Sounds like time for a tender ballad
to
me. The recording was done in 2012 but was not included in Beowulf Pulled My Arm Off. I'm planning eventually to collect all the Horror! songs in the same album. |

| Room For
Me |
| It's gone extremely strange, Abruptly quite surprising. I couldn't have expected I would feel this way. Two arms, two legs, a brain: This body I'm disguising Myself in is more than meat; These sharp sensations leave me with so much to say! So incomplete A breath before! The world has opened up; There's so much more. My lungs have filled with air; Who knew that it would be so, So damn electrifying Just to stand and breathe? I used to be a mass Of seething agony, so I think it is fair to say I had no clue how to do anything but seethe. And now I've eyes, And I can see. Inside this body, there Is room for me. I know I have expelled A living human soul And tossed it, screaming, Right into the howling void. I see how that could be Regarded as a problem. If it had happened to me, I'd have been annoyed. But, believe me, life is almost never fair. It is astounding me that I have hair! I want to climb a tree, Punch out some politician, Save the environment, and Then adopt a cat. There's way too much to try. My current composition Makes me long to write a poem While eating so much that I get immensely fat. I can't be sure, But I will bet This is an action I Will not regret. I doubt that anyone Can understand what I am, Am feeling in this moment. Though I am confined Inside some random girl I guess I've doomed to die, am I more free than I have ever Been before? I think I'm liking humankind. I've just one life; I'll use it well. I know I'm going to end Up back in hell. It's gone extremely strange, Abruptly quite surprising. I couldn't have expected I would feel this way... Back to Music page |
