Exception to Every Rule -

The future fell thru my cargo pocket

Started singing a song, unawares of the topic

Forsook who I was & where i’ve been

Or did I only play the part when I was stuck in a scene?

In which I was convicted of a very quiet crime

& I would not defend myself, nor could they testify

So we ventured out to find a voice, & stumbled onto rhymes

Though i tend to go towards the tune;

But not until the moon’s no more

With guitar string thread the piano sewn

A song for my skull and socks for my bones

Could we spark the mind without making it blown?

When names are the same as sticks and stones

If we had only known to avoid disaster;

Holy Ghost would reverse the rapture

Book be closed on the final chapter

And they all live happy ever after

Or would you rather have monsters in your closet instead?

And a man called Lucanus hiding under your bed

On a book with the only rule i’ve never read

& did you know what it said?
