All bad things, I learned from you Throw it in my face when it's my turn around. Too quick to point the finger, When it's too late to keep my calm. You are both the victim, and the aggressor.

All bad things

All bad things, I learned from you Throw it in my face when it's my turn around. Too quick to point the finger, When it's too late to keep my calm. You are both the victim, and the aggressor.

Don’t ignore the warning signs They will not flash red Hold yourself firmly, lest the floor should crumble away below you. Remember the lessons learned through the hard times Feel the constriction in your chest, It’s screaming at you to avoid this, At the risk of regressing to the dark times They are all around you, though you do not notice them They Poke and nudge you, but you send the sensations to the back of the queue They will only be apparent when it’s all too late. Don’t ignore these warning sings They do not blare sirens.

Warning Signs

Don’t ignore the warning signs They will not flash red Hold yourself firmly, lest the floor should crumble away below you. Remember the lessons learned through the hard times Feel the constriction in your chest, It’s screaming at you to avoid this, At the risk of regressing to the dark times They are all around you, though you do not notice them They Poke and nudge you, but you send the sensations to the back of the queue They will only be apparent when it’s all too late. Don’t ignore these warning sings They do not blare sirens.

Get that MSc Get it before you get married Have children and own an expensive TV Get that Job, That steady income Before you pass thirty And can become no one’s employee There’s a massive gap in your work history The work you did doesn’t matter if you can’t verify it Anyone can lie, and no one will believe. Well, my unwanted adviser, I refuse, If you can’t hire me past the age of thirty, The fact is more telling of you. If a paper certificate is that important than my word Then maybe we shouldn’t be talking anymore Yes, there is a gap in my work history, But during my full time tenor with you There was a gap in my sanity. I do mean to be rude, Your advice is flawed and is not relevant to my experiences So I’ll make my own decisions, And you can take that condescending tone out of your voice

Aren’t you tired of doing the same thing over again? Seeing the same places Same faces Walking the same paths We walked since we were first together Maybe the times are changing I know I’m not the same I know you’ve been looking away It’s a shame in a way That we can’t figure out how to root the things we love And make them grow Or maybe it’s time we let these things go.

I can’t lie to you any more I have changed No longer young And unable to waste As much time as you and I used to I suppose I want you to know who I am now, See how much we have changed since we were small, We have grown apart As we should We are different What is the point of having the same conversations again and again?

And when the fire relents You will find me Unveiled by the smoke Standing unmoved Un yielding Un changeable And the wind will catch my hair My shirt My jeans You will find me unmoved Un yielding Un changed.

Windy weather

And when the fire relents You will find me Unveiled by the smoke Standing unmoved Un yielding Un changeable And the wind will catch my hair My shirt My jeans You will find me unmoved Un yielding Un changed.

Let’s take a look into those eyes, Let’s see what they’ve been seeing Find the refuge they try to find Scenes they like to indulge in Second vision fantasies, Images twisted and torn off from nowhere Pixels and microseconds of memories from everywhere Restless, eager and aching.
