5/28- Shepard's Tone
Oblique Strategy: Question the heroic approach
5- Shepard's Tone
In a room at the top of the stairs
I look down at the stairwell
At the pit where the three disappeared
Swallowed up without a farewell
It's all neverending flowers
Tulips all the way down
Petals give way to madness
Madness just gives way to clowns
Have you heard the shepard's tone?
Stagnation disguised as ascension
Or infinite regression
Depending on which way you look
Circling, Cycling, Cynical, Cyclical
Like counting up the same five sheep
But don't fall into trefonas trap
There are better ways to fall asleep?
Into the ear of every arsonist that sleeps but doesn't dream
We must sing, we must sin, we must sigh
And to all the sleepless, the aimless, the feeble, the blessed
We can only crash and make a horrible mess
