The tragedy of good music

There’s this incomprehensible way that good music touches you

In those scabbed over places that are still raw at the core

The notes slice through the tough tissue effortlessly

There’s just a way that good music takes you back

To the days you nearly died trying to live

Rubbishing all the “progress”

Undoing the healing

Breaking you

Once more
