And he ponders
Day and night
About the meaning of life

Is it to chase happiness?
Study well, become a doctor,
Marry the woman of your dreams?
To care for your very own daughter,
And sow the next set of seeds?

Is it to fulfill your desires?
Sail the roaring seas, conquer every peaks,
Drive the world on your very own tires?
To find the peace you've always seeked,
What more could one man aspire?

Maybe the path is carved already,
Or maybe it isn't.
He has no way to know, really,
Other than to just keep livin'.

Maybe one day he'll find out,
Or maybe he'll never.
Maybe, that's the beauty,
Of forever.

Every time we walked past each other,
My eyes would trade glances with hers.
"What are the chances?" I'd wonder,
Each time, it ends the way it occurs.

I acted like I didn't notice,
And so did you.
But inside I dreamt of moments,
Of us—do you?

For you and I are no longer,
Like rivers flowing to the same sea.
But I won't go against the currents,
And blame the tide for leaving me.

Growing by the hour,
Smelling like heaven came true.
Love is like a flower,
Flowers I'd give to you.

But I loved a flower so much,
I forgot to care for my own.
Dreamed about its perfect petals,
While mine rotted all alone.

Piggy was born
Piggy ate
Piggy shat
Piggy slaughtered
That was that.

Some nights, the stars feel closer,
Than the people in your life.
Nights in which I lie under,
Neither people nor their eyes.

Some nights, the moon feels dimmer,
Than the night in which she lies,
When people feel as distant,
As the stars that light the sky.

Some nights, I find myself reaching,
In the darkness, to the stars.
Some nights, I lie wondering,
Why they're close, yet so far.

enter through the same
door he walked out of — that is
how
          you find
                           my heart

staring

aimlessly

into the void.



wonder

what could be

in the shadows?



nothing

everything

all that he wants?



maybe

possibly

he needs to know.



it's so

inviting

can he resist?



oh no,

it's got him,

he won't fight back.



drifting

out into

forever dark...



drifting

out into

oblivion.

Balancing on your lifeline,
Afraid of  your consequences.
You created this
Chaos of you
How dare you share it with tender hearts.
Selfish tornado of men before you.

Hello brain, where are you going?
No one knows, your bruises are showing.
Don't complain, it's easy living.
I'm now in vain, self fulfilling.

Lets move along, it ain't so tricky,
Settle yourself easy.
Rest.

Last night I dreamed
That I drowned
In the tears you cried for me

When I woke
I could not wash the taste of salt
From my mouth
