as bright as bright as bright

is what is
all
flown away and you
are
my voice the tears
have
all
flown away
and
quiet
like it is not here
like a
hush and quiet
like
a hush and quiet like
it seems
I like what it is
and you've done no wrong
the tears have
all flown
away
and quiet like it is
all fill
my voice is all flown away
and you
hear me as if
from a distance and that
it
is
what is all
full and quiet
like
it was when you were gone
you
are gone you are gone
you're still my
voice is not
here
like a
hush and
as
if
from
a distance and quiet like
it is all flown away
and that
is
all flown
away and
that
is all flown
away and
your silence is
a place where your silence
is free
of all in your
silence

free
of all
in your
silence
free of all
in
your silence
free
of all in your silence
in you without a word
just as bright
as
bright as
bright as the
night
as
bright as
bright
as
bright
as the night
as bright
as the
stars
and all in your silence

free of all in
your
silence
free of all in
your bluff

as if your silence

free
of all in your silence
free
of
all in your silence
a place
when you're quiet and you
are without a
word
just
as bright as bright as bright

These lines make me think of a state of trauma, in which words are repeated to self-soothe . The repetition of "silence", "quiet", "words", "hush", "my voice is all flown away " conveys the impression of being left voiceless, speechless in a state of loss.

I haven't seen you do a rap before. Because raps are spoken so fast, I guess the required repetition allows the listener to finally get the point, and in doing so, perhaps get addicted to the meter and beat the rap presents by the artist. Young people have better hearing and are more attracted to repetition than I. Probably why most rap artists have a young following. I prefer slower repetition, like the blues.
