If the Sun Stopped

[Falcon2001]

Incidentally, I wrote this while listening to Four Tet - She Moves She, which is a track with no lyrics. Excellent beat.

 

What would you do if tomorrow didn't rise

Didn't poke it's head above the trees

Would you stare in amazement, wondering why

Or would you invert your gaze and try your best to flee?

If your life became X instead of Y

How would you cope with the pain

Would you suck it all up and prepare for the best

Or try it get it going again?

 

Would you cry yourself to sleep in your cold dark room

Trying your best not to freeze?

Or would you ask yourself why you relied on the sun

And instead change the way you look at reality

Instead of a dark world a new experience

An existence free of sunburn and pain

A world where noon doesn't require a shade

And midnight is much less extreme

 

In short - what is existence

A passing dream with a outside of pain?

Or is it the beginning and end (Alpha/omega)

And the reasoning behind all the pain?

If I died right now would my words survive

To carry on without my soul's flame

Or would I wake up in a world where the sun doesn't rise

Existing only to start it over again?

Very cool. You'll notice I am not one to give constructive criticism because I am no expert. However, I recognize talent when I see it. I liked the rythm here, Yah to 4 Tet! I like to do that some times, write with music in the background. Very thought provoking your little idea about waking to no sun and your life becoming y instead of x...I really like that. Insightful.
