Endless

I thought I was a rock'n'rolla.
But they were only in it for the dollar.
Keep singing about nothing, nothing to say.
Keep talking about not talking, talk-talking away.

Keep reminding us all of the scorching gore in the chests.
About being the best, be the first to pull the trigger.
About that thing getting bigger and bigger.

Nobody is going to stop you.
Until the rope reaches the ankle.
We all have to go there, at the end of the line.
Then today's pleasures will be yesterday's memories.
Empty trophies; reaching towards a mirage.
Tell me, is there anything there?
What could that be...

Maybe its tomorrow.
Maybe it was today.
Either way:

There are some consequences that never go away.

Wasting time

And if I'm wasting my time,
then nothing could be better!
Than hanging on the line, and waiting
for an honest word forever.

And if you're saying goodbye...
Then please don't you think me bitter!
For recalling every rhyme:
From the book, the page,
the line, the word, the letter.

Well the windows turning blue.
And the waters are ever flowing!
And I hope I'm not a fool,
for laughing at myself
as you are going.

Empty space

There must be something seriously wrong,
to bring on something so lingering and strong:
A sad and sick song, sung from another place.

Survival seems secondary in that phase.
In this void, intensely empty space.
Where even time has a bitter taste.

May Your Eyes Deceive Me

Listen to your demons;
They have a lot to say.
Consider, now, the chaos:
It can take your breath away.

Play the devils advocate:
Be shocked by your own speech.
Play with fire, dance with monsters,
Contemplate what they preach.

Hear the echoes in the silence,
Though the resonance is faint.
See the figures in the darkness
Meaning light still remains.

Stare into oblivion.
Embrace the great abyss.
Find beauty in the question:
Can nothingness exist?

And you think it is as simple
As telling black from white;
Little do you know, my love,
That it's just a trick of the light.

Not really helping

So when you loose your second closest,
and that state goes briefly unnoticed:

Then why oh why?!

Is your name again spoken,
and yet again I become broken.

My deep blue shade

I wish I could sing of no regrets,
nor of any emotional debts.
But as we kissed goodbye, the sun set,
and my heartstrings began to fret.

How am I not beset with regret?
You know, once it felt so right.
Back when I slept at night.

Your smile, so light and bright.
It outranks the world in my sight.
Then, this hopeless, helpless feeling...
It penetrates the floor through the ceiling.

Now, our shadow covers me.
And so now, we are history?

And all that I can ever be to you, is that darkness that we knew?
And this regret that I've come to grow so accustomed to? I had to.
And in my own way; In this deep blue shade: hope begins to fade.

And after the night, comes the day.
And my tears dry out on their own.

Props to Amy and Sivert.

all about you

i. i wonder if you cared that i missed you when you constantly left but came back like the tides meet the sand for a second but you see, the difference between them and us is that they'll always be together because the moon knows they're meant to be
but what about you and me?

ii. the sun is always calling up the water to the clouds just to kiss the ground again but even you wouldn't take orders to see me again
and darling i've been feeling quite the drought without you
but who am i to force you to give me
life again?

iii. maybe someday i can imagine a future without you in it
waking up to a difference face
and wearing hoodies that smelled more like home than yours ever did
one day
i'll find it in me to forget you and everything that you are
but not today, my dear.
