I found a broken home from childhood

The frame whispers of an hysterical upbringing

Confused and uncertain it begs for a knowing conclusion

This sagging structure holds no solutions for these moments so familiar

I shrug it off

Because life is never a steady ride when you grow up dodging hysterics

Made a pass at the old swing set now rusted into earth

I realised times indifference and could only laugh

Hoping for a clue from heaven I looked up for an answer

Never was much up there for comfort

Only sun and stars manipulated by a cities progression

A chemical backdrop for this sunset
A slow ride for this moment
No crime in a wasted reason
If it's roots grow from conflict

Words echoed through concrete ruins say nuclear logic for the masses

Cold steel reaching for the sky
says I decline this invitation

Construct a new world
One that spins rationally
With fluid motions of peace
for this perpetual madness

On my good days

I believe there is a purpose for this construction

Some sort of entity that makes these moves seem rational

Some sort of reason for this unrelenting creation

On my bad days

I realise that we are all just molecules left in limbo
falling into each other
with reckless grace

I fear we stumbled upon the notion of free will

A god we were not meant to know or fully understand

Do you know where the time goes
when your mind is a no show?

Nicotine from a thoughtful fiend
circles under it's eyes saying go go go

We shoot the skies to ease the final flights of bodies made for free fall

No thought for there distant cries knowing it was only souls on recall
I'm a mess

Street lights shine on a familiar backdrop
Shadows retreat into cornered confines
Left only to observe

Crash course tendencies finally illuminated
double takes for a familiar stranger

Mouth movements say embrace me
a momentary relapse of insanity

Caught weak with loneliness
I accept this perception
I embrace it's physical nature
I feel it's calming shade
Everything makes sense again

Maybe the answers came on to strong causing this perception to abruptly fade

Maybe this body was never real

Made up of patchwork flesh and nonsense anatomy for motions sake

I came back for a nostalgia trip high on preconceived notions

I'm left choking on the remnants of a life that was left for obscurity

Is this your mind?
I found it elsewhere
Where are you going?
That paths leads nowhere

I feel compelled to say...

A glimpse at your scene
Leaves a shell worth breaking
A moment in your mind
Leaves a hole worth making
Deny your creator
This fate lacks clarity
Stop the climb
This world lacks a reality
I stole your time
Hoping to stop your progression
I gave you mine
Hoping to avoid a misconception

Know that its only reality
That demands your attention
Know its only society
That demands your affection

Here

Collect your mind
Complete and confused
Push it back in place
Pray its not refused

You no longer seem capable
of making sense out of the shapes that once contained your salvation

This mind shows signs of worn connections and missed plot lines

No longer holding up underneath
it's own contorted logic

This body shows signs of chemical fatigue and a disposition suggesting insanity
Breathing easy
So natural is it's position

You could not maintain that mask even in your most guarded circles

It slipped down revealing overwhelming creations all to familiar

These eyes show signs of cancellation

Reflecting off a stagnant pool inside this void you built up around yourself

Understand
You are the contraption that made this body breathe and scream sighs of relief

Understand
There are no words for this knowing destruction and it's tenacious momentum

Understand
I will gladly take the fall for a world you never wanted or intended if it means you find peace
