Live Fast - Die Young

When the buck stops at you,
And the show refuses to go on-
All you need is the relief of loud music,
Kaleidoscope of wild lights
And light-headed spells as you mix the night away.
You burn,
With the smoke all around you-
OCD and LSD-s grind their way through.
You finally feel happy as you're high-
Way above the starlight-
Rest those tattered fragments of emotions born.
You go with the speed,
Enthralled by its thrill.
Acid tears, scar cheeks.
You cry no more,
Lost in the lucidity of emotions lost.
You love life on the edge-
And the tingling fear of crash and burn-
Never alone.
You love hanging from your own cliff-
As you can't stop the cycle beset on you.
Berserk minds seek no relief,
As the solution comes easy.
Escapism,you call it?
So be it- the cloudy vision agrees.
Snooze is no help,
From your nightmare-
As all the colors you see,
Are blurred in grey.
Reality fades away,
As you shrug off its harsh bites.
Thoughts of the known no more-
As a silent violence engulfs you.
You want to hit out at the Joker-
Tear the skin along the wrinkles
And ruin its smile forever.
You want to uproot the cause of it all-
Purge your own system,
With the tequila sunrise.
You ask the racer to scream through the dark lanes-
Unmindful of the potholes that jar the journey.
It's not a way forward,
Not a progress,
Just a movement from what's stuck.
Time runs slowly through its hours and minutes-
The ashen gaze now lost in its haze.
Dazed but alert,
You look for more of the red light-
'Coz you want to violate them all.
Careless of caution,
Life remains valueless-
As you stop loving your own shadow.
In a way,
You want to look over the brink of wakefulness,
And peer into what lies ahead.
Curiosity drags footsteps in that direction,
There's no more weight to pull you back now.
Live fast , Die young -
The silent motto on the blue lips.
Weakness trails back in,
As the blood loses power to pulsate-
The ends numb now,
You still long for the lights.
