一休

By 陳柏宇

發動了核戰靠氫彈去還擊
看着那巨塔有一天變遺蹟
你在説服我有天總會完的
愛恨笑淚擱淺一休裏沉積
開始過 中止了
思想卻千絲裏纏繞
甦醒過 人休克了
迷失的我就似天地搖
一休了 一息了
色空裏風捲葬雲飄
不緊要 全不緊要
走得過地震的大橋
世上那大戰有一天會平息
創造那上帝有一天去閒息
眼眸太累要靠一眨去完壁
你亦厭倦我 找一休的空隙
開始過 中止了
思想卻千絲裏纏繞
甦醒過 人休克了
迷失的我就似天地搖
一休了 一息了
色空裏風捲葬雲飄
不緊要 全不緊要
走得過地震的大橋
終於終止終端機
休想休止不愛你
像半空 墜了機
自動步入服刑期
思想感官一按處死
沒記憶 無回味
開始過 中止了
思想卻千絲裏纏繞
甦醒過 人休克了
迷失的我就似天地搖
一休了 一息了
色空裏風捲葬雲飄
摧毀了 迴光返照
這心跳就要休息了
