This poem is inspired by lyrics from the song “The Great Unknown” by Ice Nine Kills.

Can you see

What I see?

The future is scary,

You’re connected to

Catastrophe,

Just like…

Just like me.

Do you know

What I know?

The world moves fast,

Yet all the more slow,

Maybe underneath the fun,

Could you be the one

To save it all?

Could you be the one…

To take the drug,

To pull the plug,

To reclaim all control?

No time to kill,

So choose a pill…

Down the rabbit hole

We go,

To a world beyond

All we know,

Can you take me away

To a faraway place?

Anywhere but here,

Can’t stay near.

Where you go,

I will go,

Let’s take it slow,

We’ll win this race

At our own pace,

Not a moment too late.

Can you see

What I see?

Nothing around us is real,

Disconnected from

Reality,

Just like…

Just like me.

Do you know

What I know?

Hold those you call dear tight,

Don’t let them go,

Not tonight,

The end is soon

And there is no spoon.

Will you be the one…

Prove it.

So take the drug,

Pull the plug,

Reclaim all control!

No time to kill,

So choose a pill…

Down the rabbit hole

We go,

Where time moves fast,

Slower than you know.

Can you take me away,

Someday,

To a faraway place?

Somewhere where

We’ll be

Free.

Where you go,

I will go,

Off in the distance,

The cawing of a crow,

A symbol of darkness

Someday, but just know

That’s what we follow.

Not a moment too

Late,

We stand now,

Ready to alter fate.

The Great Unknown

Is a stepping stone

For our journey

To bliss and peace.

We can’t keep living

Like we’re not alive!

So,

Can you take me away?

Far, far away.

Together,

We’re screaming,

“We are not afraid,

We are not afraid

To die!”

Who can live the blindfold

To see our free will?

Strangled by their chokehold,

Spit out the blue pill!

Who can lift the blindfold,

Expose atrocities?

Who can tell what time holds?

I fulfill the prophecy!

I fulfill the prophecy,

The revolting truth,

You must resist,

Reload your gun,

And for God’s sake,

Don’t miss!

Let’s see you

Dodge this…

Can you take me away

Not tomorrow, but today,

To a faraway place?

Somewhere beyond

Our wildest dreams!

Where you go,

I will go,

Don’t say no,

A new world,

Ready to show.

We must depart now

To ensure that we’re

Not a moment too late!

The Great Unknown

Is a stepping stone

True power lies within,

Needing to be shown.

We can’t keep living

Like we’re not alive!

So,

Can you take me away?

As we’re screaming,

“We are not afraid,

We are not afraid

To die!”

Down the rabbit hole we go…

We are not afraid…

We are not afraid

To die!!
