At twenty-four
I'll be everything probably
Letter sent was lost at sea
All is lost or left to win
All that matters is twenty-four

Ruling cities or universe
Perfect hair, neverending thirst
Perfect heart cares for all of us
I have to destroy everything first

Hope is reached at a high point
Compulsive joy that I'll recall
Young minds understand everyone
Remember me as the best of all

At twenty-four
Everything will be alright
Fireworks and fairy lights
Another me alone at night
All that matters is twenty-four

My voice has grown cold and muddy
I can't allow you to worry
Send the signal on my command
Ignite the air and then we'll see

And still we march with no motive
Something to hold, someone to grieve
We live off dust from better days
And light that glows under your skin

From things you found you built a dream
Somewhere with a field and a stream
To fix our heads and help us walk
Cure our existence from within

And still we march with no motive
Something to hold, someone to grieve
We live off dust from better days
And light that glows under your skin

Many seasons are blinding grey
Breathe in and find a place to stay
Next to the Earth over the sky
A place we are just passing by

Darkness, now, taking flight--
Scattered by the coming light.
Frightened by the rising sun,
Watching as the shadows run.

Secrets stumble off your lips--
Into patient ears your hushed words slip.
It starts with friends but ends with foes,
Watching as the secrets go.

Simple solids breed fearful air--
Our own breath blown into terror.
Onto the ignorant the facade stumbles,
Watching as the whole world crumbles.

Eyes
       Fluttering
                      Mind
                              Sputtering
                                               Lips
                                                     Muttering

Hands
          Shaking
                      Bones
                               Aching
                                          Heart
                                                   Breaking

Pain
      Showing
                    Tears
                            Flowing
                                        Sorrow                                                  
                                                  Growing

Nails
        Gripping
                      Skin
                            Ripping
                                        Red
                                             Dripping

Girl
      Falling
                Mother
                           Calling
                                      Life
                                           Stalling

       Pounding
                      Silence
                                 Sounding
                                                Death
                                                         Grounding.



-ARI

Breathe before the sunrise
Take all your time
The night's been cold and loveless
And your thoughts have been restless
One moment before you leave this town behind

So breathe before the sunrise
Study the sky
You wish you had deciphered
Promise you'll always remember
Keep this picture in a corner of your mind

So breathe before the sunrise
And say goodbye
Wait for the train that leaves at dawn
Wait for the memories to form
On blurry days forever crystallized

We are spinning!
Spinning!
Spinning!
Yes, we are tumbling down.

It is thrilling!
Thrilling!
Thrilling!
Up until we hit the ground.
