It beats ink and sludge
Dripping with the past,
How can it be so full, so empty
All at once.
It is all that wasn't,
All that has failed,
All that we wish could change
But remains unchangeable.
Try as we might to shy away from it,
Only in acceptance,
Only in loving all we have been
The void heart is healed.

The best time is right now,
Tomorrow existence may not exist.
Certainly, I hold no certainty
For anything to be certain.
Plans quickly become undone
Like a stick to a spider web,
Like a match to a gasoline spill,
Heading home if it's fate's will.
But right now, right this moment,
I'm alive and smiling still.
Call whoever you love,
Call whoever loves you,
Thank God this voice can breathe,
These fingers can write with speed.
You don't need to guess what I'd say,
I'm right here, I am a record of today,
A force to reckon with
Until I take that mighty last breath,
My last thought running through my head,
I loved this life to death.
Right now, today.
I woke up today
So many did not wake up today.
I looked up today,
How lucky I am to just be.

Have you been there?
Beyond the Here,
Beyond the lines we see.
Enter into the other,
Past the Everywhere,
Enter the Elsewhere.
When sitting in uncomfortable,
In places uncertainly unknown,
I sit in the Elsewhere
Where my garden of thoughts can let go.
Where the trees are blooming bashfully
Softly blowing with the breeze,
Where the wild life lives peacefully,
Where my head can sit at ease.
It's so simple to go there,
I can flash there with less than a blink,
Going Elsewhere I just think.
They pull me back again
By speaking out my name.
I was Elsewhere for a moment,
In a moment, nothing changed.

Come back,
You'll always come back, kid.
Been waiting for you,
Been waiting for you,
Drip, drip, drip,
Waiting for you,
Waiting for you,
Drip, drip, drip.
You'll never escape, you know?
No matter how far you go,
Waiting, was waiting, I waited
One thousand, three hundred and eighty,
Never gave up, never debated,
The clouds came then Rayn was created.
Wishing I'd disappear like magic,
Poor kid with father issues, tragic,
Poor man with depressive issues and spastic.
What do you want? Darkness isn't empathetic.
Just because scars sit old,
Doesn't mean you forget them.
Forget me? I've been growing in the static.
I've been living in the silence,
Running circles around your eyelids,
Catch a glimpse of me? That's nonsense,
I'm not a real monster, I'm the one that lives inside him.
I'm the void between the stars,
I'm the reason for Joker's scars,
I'm the shattered pieces of heart,
The reason you agreed when they said you aren't smart,
The reason you quit your art
The dread when cancer starts,
The flatline as you part.
Every little piece that drives you insane,
I'm the corruption inside your brain,
On your whites, I am the stain.
Hi. My name's Rayn.

Death is not beautiful
And neither am I.
Death doesn't come at the perfect moment,
It doesn't wait for you to say your last,
It has no time to sit still waiting.
Your family won't see it coming
Even when they see it coming.
You can read all about it
Write all about it,
Romance with the notion dancing through your head.
But when it comes, you will know too,
Death is not beautiful.
That doesn't mean nothing before matters.
Everything from feeling the warmth of a summer day,
The chill of a stormy night,
The people you share all of those highs and lows,
All the experience and love you put into all you are,
Those things carry on.
You are a legend, a story of wisdom and kindness
If that is what you choose to be.
Me? I am not beautiful.
Death has demented my mind,
My thinking runs deep in its muck.
If I were Icarus and death were the sun,
My wings would be scorched so many times over,
I no longer would have nerves to feel pain.
But I will show you all the beauty,
I will dance and sing until I can no longer,
Because I know life is beautiful
I will never trade it away.

I love when all the drops blend together
Like the world is washing away
Looking through a pane of glass.

Am I stuck standing still?
These lines could save or ****
Now it feels just like
I'm trapped down below
Give me a life full of hurt
Scratch that line
Give me a life full of love
I need to pull myself up
Becoming someone I don't recognize
Look deep into my quiet eyes
These lines could save or ****
Am I stuck standing still?

Let's not meet too late
Let's meet as soon as possible if we can.
Let's meet before the stars go out,
Before the sky comes crashing down,
The same sky I stare at now
After a sleepless night
Where the colors blend
Like they are twisting beauty and disaster.

Each of us are on a bridge,
Walking forward, with guardrails at each side.
You can turn to look over the ledge
But wandering straight all the while.
In reverse, we walk forward,
In shifts, we walk forward,
In stillness still forward,
Still forward for miles.
It's madness to think about
So naturally, most, simply don't think.
When the elephant in the room
Is that the room is inside the elephant,
We don't speak of anything.
The silence is deafening.
It's chaos to think about,
Each move is already ready to be made.
Walking on forever
Even when we choose to walk away.

Show them your art,
Show them the good, the dark, and terrible.
Let them see what makes you smile
Past your demons that make it unbearable.
Show them your grind but all the while tired inside,
Pushing through a nine to five
To capture the beauty of being alive.
Show them how hard it is to sleep
When your paycheck may be cut off next week
When the world is an uphill climb,
Always dreaming of seeing the peak.
If ever I never make it to that tip top,
I still try my best not to stop.
Show them your heart,
Your dreams and nightmares too,
If you're screaming in unconsciousness,
I'll be right here with you.
Laying awake in wait staring into unknown,
Counting down days to have you home.
