Escaping from these hallow holes within the mind
Ranked to the highest number
I toss myself out to sea
Out to sea with concrete crevices deep as the heart
Broken as the mind
And shallow as some souls
Toss my body to the ones that need it
Feed their mouths
Knead and breathe in it
Were just sinking fast unable to last
With smiles that crack from the distant path
Reeling in my head for these moments to operate
Telling myself these memories are for real
Make me see the light of day again
Allow me to rest my head on that hardening pillow
Because in these words that are as malleable as water spray
Hold hope for something that is not what it seems
Something yet to be born, thrown from the unknown
A territorial bear with fangs that drip blood never bored
Thinking of the sea of the west that is the best
Where fires burn bright trickling sands of lost gold
Swearing to yourself at night that you'll never fully know
Wondering how much longer these stars will be mine
Riddle me every way of the sweetest apple wine
White out the eyes of the supposed God's of snow
Blur out the image that forced that chain around your neck
Caught in their free fall of ******, mayhem, and monotony
Telling tales wishing to live forever
Perhaps achieving but always believing
You'll never learn to lift that latch
A little bit slower
