Sick

Picture yourself reading a lyrics from this unknown, little indie-rock band. There you go.

I'm sick 

Well, I'm sick 

I am sick of you 

Sick of me 

The lights keep clicking in my

Head, heads up, hands down to you 

While you kill 

You kill the silence and shoot our 

dreams away to the moon 

Further away, you won't see them any soon

I'm sick, in the contagious room of the sick 

Sick, sick 

Like b******s barking of pain 

The lonely dogs, the counterfields of the sane 

The sadistic blurs no one could ever blame 

We're basicaly insane 

The nights keep passing by, another vintage car

Another cup of tea, noises tasting so cold

No sense, nonsense, I'm tired of the same 

Old s**t so please let's take a ride to never

Again 

I'm sick, in the contagious room of the sick 

Sick, sick

Like b******s barking of pain 

The lonely dogs, the counterfields of the sane

The sadistic blur no one could ever blame

We're basicaly insane 

We're sick 

Sick of being sick 

Or maybe just 

Eternally lost souvenirs 

We're sickened within

I'm sick

[L'Enfant Terrible]

The sound of the word "sick" repeated throughout the poem gives it an special sonority and rhythm that fits well with the rest of the poem, also the speed of the narrative alongside the chaotic feeling to finally you end up feeling the sickness of it all, is good.

Descriptive and unique. I love this.

Sick
The word says a lot
No need to expound
Me too, sick of double talk,
two timing, two faced

You described your feeling so well on this one, almost made me feel sick myself :)

This is sick.Sickly twisted and infinitely sickening.I am sickened by the idea of such a sickly sensational poetic path to the sickness that is life.The picture of the lady in the hair rollers is kinda sick too.

Normal is overrated.
Sounds like the voice of one trying to cast off convention and live their lives for real. Great piece, thanks for sharing

This really grabs the reader -- not letting him/her go, until the last punchline!

A deliciously fab read!!

Keep up the good work!! :)

Nice use of emotions in the poem.
"The sadistic blur no one could ever blame
We're basicaly insane "
