We saw we lacked fulfillment of desires,
goals our mind hardwires into our existence.
We made a pact called resistance,
made a promise that appalled assistance
we don't need anymore.

Morally grey, black and white were never
meant to stay, we were supposed to sever
ourselves from past whining, unable to withstand
declining, weepers, lonesome sleepers,
armed with their hand.

We're not back, admitted, we are only just beginning,
we recognized the lack, the start of our winning.
It's all relative
just don't get caught up in the mechanics
they're just a set up

Ill one, looking for a cure,
stop looking and be pure.

Sick one, losing to be sure,
is there nothing you endure,
nothing you can stand,
are you that pathetic,
unable to land

You've misplaced the origins,
failed to admit, failed to get rid
of your insecurities
yet now you're knowing
of the ways you could be going.

The questions always come down to one thing
and the answer is bound to sting
your behind.
Keep your mind
on starlight
and every possible predicted future
will turn out right.
I was at the foot of a hill this morning
now I know the view is going to be amazing.

The burning forest is not behind me,
it surrounds the hills I travel.

Arrogance, high-pitched laughter,
hiding behind some old fashioned
movie smile knowing you're a fraud
yet pausing and waiting for people to applaud.

Manipulatively working your pawns
for comfort, for egoistic measures,
abusively, but too easy to stop.
You're an actor, live performer,
liar and a former sizzling fire.

It's tempting and intriguing, it's deceit,
how you mistreat your minions,
unethical and wrong and you are aware
your mind's wellfare is based on other's opinions.
It's pathetic, really.
Watch out for unhealthy progressions

She handed me life in a glass of wine,
I took a sip, gave it a try
as if I fired my personal spy
and everything seemed fine.

It took a while to take the time,
stand still, think and fill
the glass right up again,
it's nice to loosen up
I think next time
I'll drink
it will be from a larger cup.
let your expectations float
let them live alongside each other
you'll see them bother
you less and less.

While drinking a beer on my roof
I saw a man on the other side
of this river on his balcony
set his cigarette to light.
I waved and asked him
about last night,
what are we doing
and why,
still awaiting his reply.

He went back in,
his favourite sin,
smoking with a grin
was now forbidden behind doors,
he had to come back out
again, to press his lips
and move the air
from lungs to fingertips.

How dare he be without defining,
how dare he deny the silver lining,
how could he act without any further thought
and throw away the things he just had bought.
(seemingly so eagerly)

I accepted friendship from this man.
As I took another sip from my can,
I knew that he could tell
when I noticed my own fingertip
that it was ridden with that smell.
Lose the black and white,
tell him goodbye tonight,
go inside
be alone, it just might
give you back your sight.
He'll come back if he wants to,
they always do.

Be sure to miss me,
I just know it's what you'll do,
after seeking replacement
know it will never be as true
as the perfect disease I had with you.

It may be all you need
or all you don't.
I promise it won't be too easy
or too hard.

You never threw away my card.
It may have been a struggle,
it may have drowned in pain,
we are different and the same,
we are reality, harsh
but all we have
may be the glue, holding us
together, uncomfortably
but worth it too.
We'll see what happens when
or if she gets off the plane.

She got off, I ran away and back and now I know how narcissistic I can be.
I can be a real monster

By distance, by the stance,
by every cheeky glance,
every small yet wonderful dance,
every movement of the hands,
every mistake,
by all the chances I got
and were yours to take
we will know if though or not
the picture has place left
to stretch out into.
I feel melancholy
I miss that week
But I don't want to be weak
and make your word holy.
