Sometimes life
Builds up to a point
Where you feel
You can't
Ever reach the top

Sometimes life
Rolls on ahead without yah'
Rambling so fast
Rambling so hard
You don't know if it's
Ever gonna' stop

Take a step sideways
Take a step back
Loosen your grip
Lessen the slack

The stars are burning phosphorous on the horizon
She's got that blood red colored hair
Listen as the moon laughs yellow and bronze
I'm only thinking about you darling
I'm thinking about what you said underneath the moon

Can it be our ship has sailed?
Can it be our letters have all been mailed?
I'm at a loss without you
I'm at a standstill with you
What do we need to do babe
To take this pain between us away?
What's there to do
When there isn't anything left to say?

I've got a nickel in my pocket
A quarter in my eye
Lately, every whisper I hear
Turns out to be a truth
I wished had turned out a lie

The world keeps turning
With or without us
The wind keeps blowing
Indifferent to our own opinions
If we're up to ***** or not

To die today.
To
Die tomorrow.
It really makes
No
Difference to me.

Concretes warm
Underneath my feet.
With shattered chandelier eyes,
She winks, beckoning me
To follow her to the vent.
I'm a mystery
I'm a fool
I've learned all I can
But I still don't
Have the tools.

It's all too serious.
I'm too late.
What was once clear is now
Opaque.
As I burn the letters we never wrote,
Outside my window is a boy
Who wonders what their life would have been
If he'd never spoke.

Searching again for that
Right
Note.
Standing on my tip toes
Neither hating or
Loving:

My neighbor
My brother
My sister
My mother
My father.

All the light through the blinds
Is blinding me.
Every sound I hear
Is a rumpus cacophony of half-promises
And incoherent swears.
I've made amends with my sin.

There, on the other side of the room, lies

The bin.

See to it it's empties,
Cleaned, and left back the way it was
Before you leave.

Absolute terror.
A knot of guilt and sadness tied
So tight,
It feels glued together;
You feel

Scared.

Eyes are languid,
Heavy, fluttering.
These voices all around me
Are unclear, muttering.
