Obsidian static the puppet master

  Obsidian static, the puppet master. (Verse 1) The crevice opens like a silent, dusty lung Air thick with minerals and a thousand forgotten years I'm rappelling down the sheer black into a chasm's memory My boots crunch on shattered polymer No sound but the suit's respiration But the stillness is a stage The jagged walls, they lean in now (Refrain) The Paraknowing a cold spike of dread at the base of the skull It’s not a thought, it’s a wave Static buzz. Who's the puppet and who is the master? High-tensile wires disappear into the light The tightening the silent pull above the gully (Verse 2) The godly face, brittle stone work It emerges, eyes blank and unseeing But it broadcasts a sharp spike of loss and profound love My logic stutters, snagging on the input An effigy , a sentinel or just a mirror I turn and see the audience waiting Small, white figures, balanced stone totems They are all part of it (Verse 3) The strings pass through my wrist Not from me, but through...

Celeste Threat


Too stressed to recognize danger
Disrupted
Ability to think and learn
Dimmed
Ability to control emotions
At loss

To effectively respond to the changed environment

The nuclear warship in our safe harbor
The safety-rated car that kills our youth

A threat that is now safe
A threat that was previously safe

Remembering how to control
Forgetting what could be

What is now safe was once a threat
What was once safe was an actual  threat
