I break my bones against my will
I scratch the surface of my skin to find the man beneath
I burn holes in my character to find the source of my integrity
I find no man
nothing worth saving
just broken bones
A shattered will

I don't know what to say about the wires I twisted into shape
Or the barricades that stand ***** seven miles high in all directions
I wouldn't know what to do if you handed me the means to this end
Loneliness has no end
It is a means in which we search and prolong
It teaches us
That every light needs a source
Even the sun cannot stay bright forever
As our world spins closer to a darkness embedded in tomorrow
I will wake
I will smile at my lack of hope
Replacing it with courage

Bronze chains snap under heavy tension where the mind cant keep up.
Like atlas with too much on his mind
Let the world slip between your fingers
Wake up
Realize that your world is at terminal velocity
And as the moment it crashes into itself.
Let go
Relax
There are countless more

Take the moment now
nail my head to a post.
When my body rocks in its tattered remains it'll come to me.
When the bullets soak up my blood
blood, iron and lead are one my veins.
The ways my story comes to life
is from the flash from my barrel
from the flick of my fingers
from the tip of my hat
holster and saddle up.
Nail my head to the post
Just to see the spirit in the sky

Tendons slip and rip to the design of the glass
Your hand bleeds onto ivory countertop
Your head begins into the tunnel
Catching a grip on the mirror
The moment it goes numb
The moment my heart goes numb
Perplexed with why?
Fades to black

Softly sifting through the sands
Nothing of value grips to your hands
Zooming out the hourglass seems diminutive
Zooming farther the grand scheme is visible
The speck of dust thinks it's important
How cute

Breaking the divide
Divided by loneliness
Bringing us closer
Discerning true friend as rival
Two people, two children
Purist combatants
Savage beasts dancing circles in the sand
Their actions catching the eyes of heaven
Clashing in quick succession
Just to fall in each others embrace
Chasing him the way death chases life
A few beats behind him but ready to pounce
Chasing her the way the Sun chases the moon
Patient and slow, eager to make a move

Their love
Like the kiss from unconsciousness
*It steals you
body and soul
