21/M/High River, Canada. I've spent my fair share of time alone contemplating things, some might say complicating things. If this is your cup of tea, good for you.
Jittery and get it done Heart says I'm on the run Only building someone's dream Saying goodbye to mine slowly Big belly and I'm ****** cozy Lay here and regret, go out for a smoke I want a bigger truck and better luck Going to buy some lotto tickets and beer Friends all agree lets be average Lets sit back like we don't have an itch Nothing, no really, everything's been alright Just going to work, getting things done you know Baggy eyes Persistent cough Clicky joints Pain in the gut pretty often Let me get you some Tim's Mcdonalds? No? How about a brand new car and a zero dollar down phone! Bigger house Bigger TV Shrinking heart Withering creativity Weak. Pathetic.

Rush
All trying to get somewhere Your mind has you, lost Gave you a chance to lie Now here in, memories rot Dreams and death reminded me A smile on my cheeks Here and gone again I won't mind this misery So busy loving you that I forgot to be Still

Still
To forget is freedom in a mind like mine You ever ask the tall man if he is happy? A genius can't deny like the focused one Cursed connections left abandoned Although the view is beautiful Blood painted battlegrounds lie in the background He shuts his eyes and the mind's stays open Rest he may, awakens in the dark Colorful patterns dancing without reason Pausing to remember a moment seconds past Why does it move the way it does Isn't it mathematical as the stars Why does he think the way he does In these hypothetical regards And if time is illusory then what is space Tears fall from my mind's eye in this lucid dream Billions in one One among billions I looked back from Voyager 1 So ******* obvious that we're all one Come on now let's go we'll be late Okay I'll pretend there's not enough on my plate Paint on Smiles only last for a while Good luck acting as if you're asleep

Zoomed Too Far Out
The minutes pass like hours The hours like seconds This moment is but a memory And I am the man Lost in eternity When did I wake up, And will I remember everything? Will I gaze back longingly? Might I forget that the minutes past like hours And the years like a falling tear drop? What was that feeling I had? I recall an angst, a fear, far off The way a smell looks so familiar sometimes I'm lost in time And here I am, again in reminiscence It takes patience, or is that just an illusion? Yet I feel so present in my past The now is a bygone blur Rush me again you'll see I'm dead **** me with your clocks I'm a sleep walker Let me shut my eyes and rest my weary head It's been a long day... But tick tock, there's another anyway Sick and tired of being sick and tired Melancholic miseries, yet this pleasant ecstasy That fear far off, I don't mind this time Here I am again, here I am again

Pleasant Dread of The Clock
Freezing water on my skin is unobserved while a warm breeze flows through my steady state of detached focus Comfortable illusions embraced by the tribe, you look to me and see something of a demon, to be feared, yet respected I stand tall as any man might, my gaze contains an eternal essence, an angel in this creature A vessel of blood and bones, feels the emotion of an abandoned infant, the alienation of a wolf betrayed by its pack Continued to climb with broken arms, walked with a shattered heart, intercepting the silence with bitter expressions of being Once blindness had become so much better than seeing, watching brothers bend beauty to fit a God forsaken form I look now upon your beaten face without pity, painfully acknowledging the choices you have made The sounds of war replaced the quiet calmness of the child I used to be Weeping without recognition, you scoffed at this agony Now night after night I contemplate our complacency, wondering when the rivers of blood may awaken the hearts sacred sense of urgency A soul of the whole world. I watch the floods and flames engulf the stillness that once was, the peace that was taken for granted, now falling down, and heaven cries it's last goodbye

Freezing Cold
Nowhere to go, no place to call home The planet dies and so do I I work for nothing and yet for everything My hope is as meaningful as the dope I smoke I choke back the years and forget the tears Love falls apart in front of my eyes The grey color of the sky reminds me of death I inhale as I take off, I take a deep breath Nothing left on the ground I take to the skies Just to turn around, to look back, to realize We had it all, everything in our grasp, the power of gods Yet we acted as if the pain was too much So we sit in complacency, as we lose our agency Responsibility was paralyzing, in the face of these lies Holding on to something that doesn't even exist I notice you living your fantasy, as I watch the world burn

Live Your Best Life
When she holds my hand she squeezes it When I hug her she takes her time I can feel how warm my love keeps her When I'm gone she is too, thinking of me The time away seems to drain my soul I look in the mirror and see the loneliness Yet i wake up smiling and knowing she's in my heart I don't know how long I can keep up this shirade Acting like I can be long away and still ok She says she's head over heels for me And not afraid to tell her friends I'm praying this love stays strong and never ends Because I've had hundreds of friends Plenty of people come and go, remember me And can't forget my spark, but never said Now she's here and I told my buddy When she leaves for sure I'll be dead Because now there's a light so bright I tear up Without her my mind would never clear up Of memories so sweet I fear, **** I just couldn't go on acting like I'm fine Because everytime I see her smile my soul is on fire If I ever said I don't really care I'd be one **** good liar Ya this time long away makes me so ****** tired There's a distinct pinch of pain when I dream of the rain Kissing her, holding her head in my hands Feeling her soft lips smile while my eyes are shut Then my alarm goes off and I think ugh Time is an illusion and I'll be home soon enough But really my love, my love this time away is rough

Time Away
Watching the world burn I pause motionless for a moment and their heads turn Who can remain still in this trembling state Locked into to the grip of deaths embrace I looked out into eternity and saw no hope Yet I felt no fear, I held no dreams in my hands Not a single spark of faith in my mind Yet the days goes by with a tasteless pain A senseless thought of what could be I want to live my fantasies, just like you But I'm sitting here watching the world burn Motionless for a moment and I can't care Caring is painful and my heart can't be breaking always Fiery flickers of love rip apart my despair Leaving me burnt and turned to unfathomable misery All because I saw that our heaven was built on hell Our worthless wealth, made in China This disposable planet, soaked in petroleum filth Could you look them in the eye for a minute Only to feel the dystopian horror that you call beauty Trying so hard to express this perspective Living alone in this lamentable lethargy If I said nothing, who would rise to break the silence? Efuse apart from our celebratory mania Refuse to remain in a myopic mesmerization A hopeless hypnosis of comfortable mass hysteria How do you call me confused, when you are conscious? And if you are merely amused, ponder this poetry Pity this passing plea for empathy

So They're Gazing
The madness was relief in time sadness and over-eat my lies shut and go to sleep my eyes forgot this peace of mind given there's a speed to hide then I stop so I can really find moment's pause, a seeming guide so long I felt out of place never seemed to fit the game couldn't ride the high of a chase chasing the wind and I'm breaking at best can't seem to remember what I want to forget thoughts becoming sweat I'm scared, yet I can see life as a joke sit down with the boys, have a **** But to look me in the eye when I say I broke A will to fight or create some **** hope I look around and see the pain You look around and see it too look inside it's painfully true there's a debt, fatefully due

Escaping
The lies go hand in hand Minds break like mountains to sand I'm breathing deep while wishing on a star Freedom and truth set a burning in my heart Healing hope from a feeling of life Remember the essence don't try Beauty in sight and strength Tired of playing whack-a-mole Looking for solutions on a global scale Will determination prevail? I fight on the side of the light While restlessness questions my might And all the fatigue of an endless night We used to dream of bigger hearts Now we dream of running away If only it could be said clearly Then more could share the burden And that suffering would be light Lies keep streaming live Keep singing we'll be alright Poppin bottles, cheers to steady decline Where is the essential honor to it all I seek that non shall fall Yet nature gives not a **** Let dissociation continue as if deception is not evil Allow the epic to be forgotten as if there is no good I ride along in indifference, music playing to set a tone A tone of eternity and an acceptance of death Go ahead call me crazy, but I might look into your soul And find an amusing coincidence, too which you'd have no control I fly through life like an eagle, seeing it all Yet confined to repetitions What is it all anyways? So I invest in knowledge and relationships and let the day go on
