It's "Only" Music?

The world
Empty noise
Jarring, stabbing thoughts
The everyday grind
The way we treat one another
And our beautiful home
Blind consumption
When it closes in
There is always
Music
Telling the truth
Speaking heart's knowledge
Giving words and expression
To what we feel inside
Ringing it out loud
Eyes closed, get lost in it
Mind takes flight
Spirit soars
Sing, scream, dance
Part prayer, part orgasm
And nothing else
Does to us what music does
And isn't that
What keeps us coming back?
