I notice there's some pain in me
Maybe I use it to elevate
My mind and ideas, it seems
It holds me down
If this is your decree
Just make some sound
Heal me
With your hands
And with all of your heart
Or most, if you can
I don't pretend to deserve saviour
But oh, would I adore it
Your voice, with words like Heyward
Would you want to, if you could
Save me, that is
Do you believe in better good
Or am I lost like ashes
To ashes and then I fall
My future
My fate
Rests with you
This one's not very good either! xD

Not a place, in anyone's heart.
I'm an introverted man.
So no friendships to start.

My smile is heavy.
I'm a lonely man,
My mood is steady.

I'm a melancholy man.

It's how I was raised.
Less than a man.
My spirit, locked in a daze.

I'm not trying to be a snood,
So don't be offended.
I'm not intentionally rude.

I'm a melancholy man.

My trust isn't easily extended.
Your kindness will be my friend.
There's love & kindness within these mended fences.

A melancholy man, I am.

I believe
In you
And me
Separately
We light up rooms
But when we
Come crashing
Together
People swear
That something's there
The Sun ain't got nothing
On us
But truthfully
Honestly
I think it was an honest mistake
As time ticks us by
And tucks us in
I'm starting to lose sight
I just don't see
What they see

Previously
The words I'm saying
Would seem so sinful
So foreign
So backwards
But they make sense now
I'm just not the same
And neither are you
Things grow apart
And people see differently
So I guess this is my resignation
This is my attempt
At an honorable discharge
I just don't see
I just don't see anymore
I just don't see what they see
Good morning creatures
This is your father speaking
Love my sun today
I'm ******* perfect I'm ******* perfect
I'm ******* perfect I'm ******* perfect
I splash some water on my face
Rub it a bit more
Check again to see if it's a little less red

I'm ******* perfect I'm ******* perfect
I'm ******* perfect I'm ******* perfect*
Repeat it again
Breaking down all over the sink
Trying to regain my composure again

My eyes are glossed,
I can not see.
I'm just as lost,
As a rootless tree.

Young strong ambition,
Brought down by the evils of humanity.
A good life was once my mission,
Now I question my sanity.

I feel separated from the world.
Reality is a fragment of my imagination.
What appears straight is curled.
Light is just a mere imitation.

We seek justice that is always blind.
For our laws are rooted in discrimination.
Greed serves as the currency of our kind,
And profit the sole motivation.

To see the corruptions of our society,
And sit outside and observe.
Brings a cold chill of sobriety,
and feeling of atrocity to my nerve.

My eyes are glossed,
I can not see.
I'm just as lost,
As a rootless tree.

For every beautiful creature,
There is complementary predation and blight.
For every miraculous feature,
There is a parallel of war and spite.

You can choose to accept things as they exist,
Or be the person that brings in change.
But if our current circumstances persist,
Our decedents will learn nothing but rage.

A wise man once said:
"Be the change you want to see."
So peace and love I will spread.
And live by the same decree.

I will use my tools,
Given to me by my Creator.
To make wise men of fools,
And make the common good greater.

My eyes are now clear,
And I can see.
I no longer appear,
As a rootless tree.
