faint music shimmered into existence
the sound stumbling up the stairs
trickling in through the windows
a familiar and foreign melody
it sounded hopeful
the hope that rises out of grief
the rebirth after decay
a symphony spilling onto reality
and within the noise lied meaning
lied answers
the music grew louder
and louder
it became deafening, shaking the foundations that had laid since the beginning
and yet it was ignored
for we were too overstimulated by the lies
and too cautious to accept the truth
