Try
Make that a mental note.
Make a connection to their functions.
(Parallel traits; perpindicular to the global eyesight)
Take a look into the brainWINDOW.
Take a book from the thoughtLIBRARY.
                                                    Steal flimisy ideas.
Craft a fort of implementation.
Try hard. Try harder.

Spin me out of this world
                                         Blow my mind.
There's something better to experience.
You're stuck. Stuck. Stuck. Stuck. Dead.
Stop listening to what you want to hear.
Hear what you need to hear,
see what you need to see.
Be what you need to be.
Some hear truths (and lose themelves)
              Hear truths. Find truths.
                   (Close your mouth)
Open your mind.

Where have we been?                           (lost)
You and I are trying our hardest.        (to get lost)
Busted, falling short. Trying and trying.
                                                                Giving our all.
Sped up, running. Knowing. Craving the unkowing.
                                                                (lost)
Cut down a dead tree; make a fire live.

Splitting hairs and stepping on toes
Pulling teeth and breaking bones
Biting and fighting. Killing and dying.
My heart is hard as nails and your eyes are lying.
Wasting time, killing time, and ******* with my time.

I want raging nights,
dark and wild;
lit only by bonfires
and glares on glasses.

I want sun-kissed mornings,
breezy and free;
interrupted only by the voices
of lovers and friends.

I'm leaning on a crutch
to help me stay tall.
Slender, tall mind
Short, fat heart.
Eyelids: much like the mind
(a projector screen for my dreams)
When I speak,
I read the scripts of the movies;
whatever movies I've been watching.
Subconsciously, all conversation is a mere recap,
a synopsis of the film I watched the night before.
A real spoiler to the listener. I'm a movie ruiner.

I'm the only one who sees the works that I spoil.
                         Thank god for that.

**Disclaimer: I just spoiled a movie for you.

Broken, life seeping.
Gutsy and lawless:
Gunpoint switchblade
Only seeing, never sleeping.

Groan and crawl, muck and mud
Run and ****. Push my luck, down over.
Over and over again. Head over heels
Brain splatter banana peels.

Spacey air, musty sight.
Cold nights in the cold earth.
Bent and spent, came and went.
Statement of your rebirth.

Voices drowning down salt streams.
Craters on Retna Moon; green beams.
Too many visitors. No hesitation.
Sleeping beauty, my proclamation.
