Dark Backward

little announcement: the happy mondays poetry nights installment that was supposedly scheduled for tonight has been moved to July 7, so as to maintain that the readings are held on the 1st and third mondays of the month.

here's a song by Los Chupacabras. link to the video here.


Locked inside my room
I am just a ghost of myself
There’s so much to do
Somewhere else

Yellow suburban house
In this warm Manila town
I’d like to see it all
Tumble down

I don’t want to go out
I don’t want to go dark backward
I don’t want to go out
I don’t want to go,
I don’t want to go out

Take me somewhere else
Take me to a war-torn hell
Nothing, like something,
Happens everywhere

I don’t want to go out
I don’t want to go dark backward
I don’t want to go out
I don’t want to go,
I don’t want to go out

Don’t matter where we are we’re never there
Let’s close our eyes and watch the world die
Tinfoil animals, hanging over us,
Thrown matches burning up like shooting stars

Like shooting stars
Like shooting stars
Like shooting stars

-Easy Fagela
