Everyone stared
at the trapped beast
All eyes on me

Can't I be judged
By the good I've done
Not by what you see

We may never know
The terrors
he has seen
But the crows took his eyes
So they may finally
get relief
Was watching a show with a deceased prisoner in one of those hanging cages that's exposed to everything. I wondered, what was that guy's story?

What has mattered the most
evidently, have just been ghosts

If the past is dead
what is the fate of a memory?

Left to wander around
in a purgatory, binded to me

Sometimes I beg to see them
haunting the places we used to be

if the past is dead, then we trap ghosts
inside our memories

I am not
The giving tree

I was the apple
Fighting gravity

Trying to keep myself
above your reach

But I fell below

You picked me up
and, well.. you know..
Messing around with an old book & some thought

I looked up, then down.
That's how quickly,
hope wasn't found

Our caress,
tightly pressed
chest to chest

“I love feeling
your heartbeat”
You’d tell me

Let me hear it again
so long it’s been
It makes my head spin

Recalling that day
you passed away.
When Forever wouldn’t stay

Did my heart quit?
Or is the rhythm just sh*t?

I tried opening up my arms
But no one felt my heart.
Does it still beat behind my guard?

I just don't feel anything
When you're not talking to me
And this forever isn't answering
When you were coming from together forever, but now dealing with being alone. And too stubborn to move on. An unexpected death in this case.

They say I’m not progressing
Just because progress was slow
They say my goals were set
higher then these steps can go

Well I refuse to believe
I am merely chasing a dream
I have the motivation to care
I will develop wings
If that’s what it takes
to get there
