Ludovico Einaudi “Walk (Phaeleh Remix)”
Play the long game
Make strong claim
Set goals to succeed
Take an oath
To wage growth
And make known no impede
Be authentic
Eccentric
And unapologetic as unprecedented as that may be seen
Be kinetic
Be magnetic
Be the dream
Life may seem to be unsympathetic to your needs
The antiseptic sting of pathogenic inner bleeds
Septic tank of thankless task
Generic rank
Defective mask
Reflecting back on fractious past
Recessive lack of active parts
Fractured heart
Traumatic scars
In atrophy
And cracked apart
An end portended lack of start
And senseless to degree
Relentless is the sea
Foreseen no treasure in its deep
One feather of forever
In an end of terrace breeze
Bled of existential terror
Clenched together on its knees
In need of gentle zephyr to intrepidly proceed
Allegedly obscene in each extremity repeating
As it only knows suppose to be eventually defeated
Feeding from the vital air
Receding in its stifled lair
To be esteemed as rightful heir
It needed to be weakened
Beaten black and blue
Depleted knack to stagger through
Yet on the back of every pain inflamed
A greater blaze ensues
Play the long game
Make strong claim
Set goals to succeed
Take an oath
To wage growth
And make known no impede
Be authentic
Eccentric
And unapologetic as unprecedented as that may be seen
Be kinetic
Be magnetic
Be the dream
And I’ll race you to the river
In-between
