I want to see through walls again
I want
Could never begin to explain
I wont
It was there I swear
Clear as day
I slept and woke
Dreamt it away

Impossible ?
Just shut your eyes
Open everything else
Let the chatter
Drown in the noise
And follow the science

Make sense
So nothing else can
Overwhelm me
With memories
Of your attention span
Beneath each other
Above each self
Silence

Is key to any door
You built yourself
Stays with you
Wherever you go
Could be coming from
Any thought now
Listen !
We can see through the walls !
Finally something worth hiding from !
Aren't love letters
A social construct
Anyway

For the better
Fear hit self destruct
Saved the day

Fooled the world twice
Trapped tools in a vice
I know you know

Belong away
We all still believe
In always

Fine as sunlight
Sad as another morning
With a filled ashtray

Pick your own fights,
Won't die on those hills
Again, but

I'm on your side
And live for the thrills
Whatever I say
"Standards dropping, invest now!"
An eye for an eye
Has just left
The world on fire
Relive in one try
How it felt
Back when things went dire

Some hollow windows
And streets that smell like peace
Burnt out mundanity
Much more of what follows
What makes sure
Noises cease

Back then on the path of
Progress
It was believed
Things followed suit
Right now it's quite hard to
Process
There will be more
In a minute

Some sparks in the air
Lit many whispers
Many days
More news
From newswhere
More nothing betters
Only ways

The big picture
Might perhaps look
Somewhat this way
One thing is for sure
Some things are written
By the book
Scattered souls, bitten
Only afraid to miss
The hook
You can never truly look away from 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨, can you ?
My eyes,
They always betray me
When I run down the
Uncanny valley

Your smiles,
They mean nothing to me
While I'm going through
What is left to see

Your thoughts,
Are walls that I can't touch
A prison for my words
Where I don't know much

Your names,
They never stay around
Loud ideas of noise
You shared and then drowned

Your eyes,
They always betray me
I confuse your dreams
With what I should see
Amazingly typical
I made another stain
On the missing pages
Time to pull them again
Away from the edges
Invisible and vain
Lost words to the ages
Letters call for eyestrain
Redaction assuages

I leave empty spaces
Tell another story
I draw stolen faces
And have them say "sorry"
Tell them we'll go places
But everything's blurry
Nothing else than traces
Left in purgatory

I pull on a corner
And make sentences split
The journal gets thinner
But words won't ever fit
I'll make my world cleaner
Since lines come out of wit
Squeeze tight ***** of paper
And trust the trash with it
Originally published in "The third trash can to the right after the coffee shop"
I don't want to be lame
But you know the truth stings
I wanna seek the flame
And let it burn my wings
To them it's all the same
Another picture springs
Can't keep it into frame
I fly around in rings

Nobody is to blame
We're all just sweet nothings
I want to play the game
See what history brings
I let faith hold my aim
Kept on hitting ceilings
But it is worth the shame
To know which way light swings

There is more truth to claim
Beyond the flutterings
Just see what life became
For all our past beings
Your fears will emerge tame
Wait until the cloud clings
And closer to the flame
Conjure warmer musings
*Frowns and rolls newspaper tightly*
It walks and runs
It sees, it follows
Anything in their path
It swallows
The crowd runs deep
A million feet
Comes to smother
You in faces
By and gone ! An other
Probably off to the races
Locked inbetween polite blank stares
And many strange rules the crowd bears
Another stranger, lonely day
