Next to the bleachers:

The battle wounds are gone

Still the hyperventilation’s

The bandages seem worn on

It’s Becoming impatient

Pounding on my head

The sins are weighing in

The cold is beating

thrashing on my skin.

Driving through my head

Crashing all the other thoughts

Leaving me with this fixation

asking for my medication

Walk through the valley of whispers let it sink in

Walk through the valley of whispers take it all in

Its those red nights with bright blue butterflies

The charcoal pavements brings out the emerald lights

Next to the ash blown tree the only surviving breed

Without my need keeps protecting me

There’s hot water boiling inside

Pouring through my veins

Creeping up behind me

Going to drive me insane

Walk through the valley of whispers let it sink in

Walk through the valley of whispers take it all in

Its those red nights with bright blue butterflies

The charcoal pavements brings out the emerald lights

Next to the ash blown tree the only surviving breed

Without my need keeps protecting me

Protect me, start saving me

The shadow deep, the tainted me

My famous last words

Aren’t spoken to soon

Its those red nights with bright blue butterflies

The charcoal pavements brings out the emerald lights

Next to the ash blown tree the only surviving breed

Without my need keeps protecting me

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
