Za Intro (The Papercut Chronicles II)

[Intro]

Hi

Remember me?

Back in 2005

I introduced the world

To The Papercut Chronicles

Now I'm back from retirement

To blow your mind once again

But what is a mind?

Is it a simple conglomeration

Of neuron-transmutation

Or a dense emptiness where

Immortal dreams lay to die?

Some say one's mind is a state

But is Pennsyltucky a state?

No, not since 1985

One moon to the next

The selenophobic skies sparkle

Between the darkest of stars

Like the dance of an inanimate sparrow

Wallowing amidst the iridescent shadow

A marsupial fetus bellows beats

Across a melodic menagerie

And with a fleeting slothfulness

The silent sounds of an invisible mountain rise

Below the cloud forest

But if a forest makes a sound

Does a fallen tree hear it?

No one can know, except for those that do

For a cocoon of love is nothing

If not a prison of sorrow

And out of love and sorrow

A callous confusion creeps

Into your conscious

Germinating into the rhythm

Of harmonies never forgotten

[Outro]

Ladies and gentlemen

I give you The Papercut Chronicles Part II
