Seattle Driven Inspiration
to pearl jam

I'm spread across a thousand layers of skin
my body makes up for all these singers
speaking your words I only want to hear -
I only want to hear them come from you

and the acoustics are flying from room to room
no matter where you are, your voice is there
crowding every inch of empty space that dares breathe
warming every shiver that trickles down the spines

and you're perfectly beautiful
because your music makes us feel this way
you hold our hands from such a distance
just by reaching your hands to the sky

my ears are sweetened, coated with your thoughts
they drip into my lobes and make a home
that's where they'll stay all night and build their jungle
they will swing until they reach my brain cells

and I feel as if I should be swimming inside those drums
diving from each one to another
creating a wave and hopefully, we all shout and raise our arms
you'll play "oceans" and we can all drown in it together

I'm spinning and still spinning yet spinning in control
to the music you drill out of those instruments
and from your diaphragm to your lungs to your throat
to the tip of your tongue

I'm listening.

This was really well written. I wish I had the vocabulary to explain how great it was, but I'm lacking at the time being. But this was my favorite part

"I'm spinning and still spinning yet spinning in control
to the music you drill out of those instruments
and from your diaphragm to your lungs to your throat
to the tip of your tongue

I'm listening. "

Amazing job.
