You don't even know you failed your spiritual test?
Treated me like one of your side projects –  left unfinished
You were surprised to find my self worth undiminished
You only devalued yourself and now your charade is finished
So take off on some other vision quest

You'll never even see how much you were blessed
Given so much more than you deserve
You could've had it all if you'd found the nerve
To keep the true course instead of swerve
Break promises and pretend you've done your best

Tore open my eyes and showed me you're no better than the rest
Just another coward claiming to be strong
And you proved to me that my heart was wrong
For my fire in your cold world cannot belong
You're not the hero I deserve and I won't settle for less!

We wake up every morning and look to the west
Our ritual
Would that maybe the future be much brighter
Than the past
I don't know much more than supposed to be
I wouldn't
Dare to guess

I know the ocean is much deeper
I've seen beneath the surface
And drowning sailors
And ocean floors

We wake up in the morning and search for what's right
Nothing is
We only ever wait for the day the sun doesn't rise
May tomorrow
Fare the well

I know the seas that stand between us grow
And inbetween us only storms
And brutal squalls all raging
And ocean floors

I know I
I want
to scale the mountains,
to watch the sun set on their horizons,
to hide out in dense forests,
to run away into the wild,
to be as far away as possible
from these animals
called human beings.*

that you came to me
in the late hours for comfort
it means more than I can express

I guess that makes me pretty pathetic
more or less
I know what I am and
I am insecure

There are so many people who do
and say controversial **** only in order
to gain the public's eye.
Not only on YouTube, take a look at that woman
who goes on Twitter and starts beef
with popular celebrities just so her name is in the news.
Tila Tequila is always posting the most
inappropriate crap, and I'm not talking about **** and *****,
I'm taking about praising ****** and mass genocide with passion.
Look at basically every successful politician
with the power of swaying the masses with
only a few words - I'm pointing at you Donald Trump.
It's ******* disgusting the lengths people can go
to get publicity, because as they say,
any publicity is good publicity, right? Wrong.
It only works because we
highlight it and glorify it,
people take sides and
the only thing left is a divide.
The only way to really stop this kind of
hate-spreading, fear mongering, classlessness
is to stop talking about them.
To completely shut them out.

But I know that's impossible, because
ridiculous as it sounds, there are going to be
people who agree with them, who will
glorify them and put them on pedestals
for being true to their cause.
So then what can we do?? I guess we continue
talking about it... and the loop goes on.  

Humanity isn't lost, it was never there to begin with.
This is the way of humans, there's always been
the ones like Polandbananas and Tila Tequila and Donald Trump,
and there always will be. But I want to believe
that the number of people with the capacity
to love and begin the change
is greater than the number of people
who are too set in their ways
to be persuade.
I felt like this could work as a spoken word after I finished writing it,
What do you think though?

maybe one day
I'll see you again
holding their hand
while their making you laugh
and I'll be forced to remember
when back in the day
that person was me
who put that smile on your face
but those days are gone
the memories erased
you're my best muse
and an old pain

relying on his
apathy
wont work forever
there will come the day
for now I wait

love isn't sentient and knows not the time
love is pure emotion, raw and divine
so take your clockwork else where
as love has no time to spare --
who would watch hands go round
when an entire world is out there?
love isn't something you count down from
no, love is a long hug and a smile
so take your clockwork else where
and fall in love for a while.
you're always looking at the time --

how long we've been together,
how long we've been apart,
when you have to leave..
it's no duh love is symbolized by a heart,

because a heart tells its own time.
