so what

so what

if a fire alarm

interrupts your rite of spring

so what

if an earthquake

makes skyscrapers of feedback

totter

but not fall

not fall

i've spent endless hours

in a single room before

for naught

melody's a stillbirth

noise prevails

why not

(if a fire alarm

interrupts your rite of spring)

re act

(when an earthquake

makes skyscrapers of feedback

totter)

and blast high

blast high

melody's a beautiful moment

noise interrupts

and the moment's gone

suddenly segments of static

each individual electric scream

each second in passing

beautiful

i spent a handful of hours

in a single room

not even paying attention

to what became my life

melody can be a waste

of noise

so what

so act

fall

high

you totter

not blast

it feedbacks

an interruption

gone

Blast!

react

and

prevail

This isn't the sound of something falling apart.
