I felt a Funeral, in my Brain [SSC8 Poetry Challenge]

I followed the whispers of a mind unraveling… this is what I found. Lyrics by Emily Dickinson Music by ThunderousSilence ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ [Verse 1] I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, in my Brain And Mourners to and fro Kept treading - treading - till it seemed That Sense was breaking through... That Sense was breaking through... [Chorus] Mmm-hmm And when they all were seated, A Service, like a Drum Kept beating Kept beating beating - till I thought My mind, my mind was going numb... My mind, my mind was going numb... [Verse 2] And then I heard them lift a Box And creak across my Soul With those same Boots of Lead, again, Then Space - began to toll, began to toll... As all the Heavens were a Bell, And Being, but an Ear, And I, and Silence, some strange Race, Wrecked, solitary, here... [Chorus] Mmm-hmm And when they all were seated, A Service, like a Drum Kept beating Kept beating beating - till I thought My mind, my mind was going numb... My mind, my mind was going numb... [Post-Chorus] Mmm-hmm And when they all were seated, A Service, like a Drum (Kept beating) (Kept beating) beating - till I thought (My mind, my mind was going numb...) (My mind, my mind was going numb...) [Outro] And then a Plank in Reason, broke, And I dropped down, and down And hit a World, at every plunge, And Finished knowing... then... [End]
