Timeless trifles occupy my eyes as
I break down issues stuck inside my ill-mind.
But with this thought, it’s too dreadful to put aside
Hollow hope we do all yet fail at flying
and most deaths we leave their grave alone and crying
as they lose their legacy and all of their pointless trying
how could we just let their efforts fade as it beckons to be learnt for their mistakes and accomplishments
only for us to do everything they did but once again
Their gravestones get destroyed more and more every year as we neglect something we always claim to always fear
Yet we’re repetitions stuck in the past
and the future unwilling to remember
If history continues to repeat itself we will not last

Light the stage and ready the curtains
In short time this glorious show will begin

I can't find the rest of the water in me
Lost searching for the inner meaning
Stuck in pointless thinking, sinking
Only halfway down than it hit me, reality
Only half a face and the rest a hollow disgrace
A mask I use to hide a trace
Of fear that might show cause if it's hidden no one will know
that I've lost my soul but this mask comes with a toll
Water
The title was referring to not only the poem but the fact that it was only half of it

Lights, lovers, I want the fame
Bright face and it to cover, guess there's only me to blame
But since the start jealousy’s lead my city
Oh so pretty
Locked in a trance, don’t give me pity.
For now I’m falling
Hope sprawling
Take me back home, I’m crawling
Don’t be sorry, there is no worry
I’m getting out of here, but I’m in no hurry
Cause if I run the spotlights will follow
They guilt me back, oh so shallow
And now my meanings are hollow
I will return to my hometown with my pride, I swallow.

I am on fire
Seas need to drench me, dire
conspire against the sun and I'll try harder
consume my body in painless addiction, water

Mentally trapped in torture, you're stuck
Glowing blood, they're staring at you from the dark
In hallways and every way, judgement will follow like a shark
Burning down your confidence and weakening your heart
Breathing down your neck toward your neon scar
Breaking you down from however far
Making you ashamed for past regrets
Reminding you of luminescent mistakes
Caging you, you can't get away
Locked in a loop, they won't let you escape

Broken stars fade back to the shadows. Pitch black eyes gaze where the light set its grave in the valleys.
Waiting for its glow to reappear to revive the stars and keep the lone traveler from sleeping.
Nightmares plague the night and destroy our hopes.
Stars crusade the shadows and purge the unreasonable of the dreams.
Only for the shadows to appear again to keep the equilibrium.
Light can't exist without shadows.
