Reuptake

REUPTAKE (reworking of Serotonin Reuptake, original instrumental track by Silvio Vinci) Morning leaks in through a chemical sky, I wake with someone’s memory moving behind my eyes. The city breathes slow, its windows painted grey, every thought comes back to me then quietly slips away. Serotonin reuptake, keep the signal alive, something in the bloodstream is teaching me to survive. Serotonin reuptake, between the dark and the blue, I’m waiting for my mind to feel like mine again too. The clocks have stopped but everybody runs, plastic flowers turning toward artificial suns. I hear my name inside the underground, a little pulse of happiness without a single sound. Neon rain falls on the pharmacy sign, I watch the red lights tremble at the edges of my mind. Serotonin reuptake, slow river in my head, carry what is living through the country of the dead. No revelation, no sudden burst of light— just one small door left open in the night.
