Omen Returned
6 more times to spin this chamber
in this 80 mile russian roulette
Norepinephrine pulses in the veins
Invisible proof I'm not insane
And so I fly at 75
This feeling comes, and it reminds
Of a time where life was tenuous
remember how we roamed the streets?
Those nights we didn't know
If we'd ever even make it home
The streetlights spoke in tongues
Now I find my omen has returned.
Is it the same out where you are.
Have the lights begun their dance?
We, touched by destiny absurd
Dive headlong to the final word?
I know I've been accused of being a vocabulary showoff before, but I wanted to put in the Norepinephrine in before I knew what the word was. I knew it existed by didn't know the name for it. Its one of 2 stress hormones in the human body, the one thats mostly associated with ADHD.
This was partly written about my car which has a really bad safety issue going right now and I've been worrying it'll kill me. (buying a new car tomorrow, but still have a long work commute before that) the 6 more times represented the 6 more hour commutes I had to do. its down to 2 spins now.
