Don Traverso


Psychic Zero

Mind bleeding battered torn

Run away, it follows you

Stand your ground, it rips at you

Bloody parts lie on the sand

It sifts about like television

Static dancing whirling round

Melt into it, scattered signals

Quiet here and still like death

Static like colliding stars

Staring dead astronaut eyes

Everything is static now

Nothing's real, same for you.
