19/M/California I hope it makes sense
Due to one I care about I’m setting myself straight Despite complication, I’m supposedly above my current place No longer will I satiate a thirst No longer will it be a constant I’m supposedly undeserving of my current place Due to one I care about I’m seeing through the haze

A Limitation
You’d think that when your life flashes right in front of your eyes That it would be just that A flash But no, it goes on longer Longer that the flash of the headlights that had almost hit you Longer than the short life you’ve lived thus far Long enough to teach you that you haven’t taken life in your direction “Choose the ones you love” “Choose your future” “Choose life” The junkie’s monologue in its theatrical delivery pulled you out of the anxiety So you drive home Physically unharmed Emotionally rewired Choose life Suppose I’ll have to change it?

Choose Life
Yeah, we aren't exactly the most athletic of people But we did make it up that one hill that's claimed to be a mountain Yeah, we arrived at what we thought was the top until we saw that there was more But that only drove us further up Yesterday atop the sunset colored land the valleys made the world feel that much bigger Returning home made the world feel so much smaller Even though I myself live on a hill with a view of the smog above the highway That moment atop the hills didn't make me feel at one with the world I didn't even feel at one with myself I only felt amazed Confounded Perplexed Mesmerized But you know that didn't beat the look in your eyes

Perceptions and Hills
It is because of you that I am fully attentive Soundwaves that wash over me from start to end Music, my only friend Now, we ride the waves of wifi to get what we need But our gaze upon an artist is lost Once our playlists consist of only a few of their songs Handpicked amongst others, so our entertainment isn't lost I understand the desire of variety But I value the intimacy of a record I can hold Knowing that for a while, it's just me and this music alone

Ode To Vinyls
For years to come with many days to go The eyes that follow will show a different side of who you think you know Although as truthful as they can possibly be The eyes that follow distort the image of what you see Every second is cherished but not as interesting Every single day is lived but not always exciting Every year shows growth but not always on the best terms Did I tell you of how I got ****** into great TV? Broadcasted to everything that has a screen What you think you know isn't exacty what's behind the scenes

Eyes That Follow
I look forward only to sunrise and sunset Everything else is irrelevant as it's only a blur If only there was time to admire the colors Then maybe, just maybe, I would be satisfied

*** sells and I remain broke My price is your affection and understanding Which is less expensive than your love

Burnout
The feeling is much more different up here The overseer of today watches the sunset from the window Each ray tinting the walls through colored curtains I feel much more alive down here The world is open and is always ready to be approached All I need to do is step out
