when the dues are paid and there’s nothing left to be said get up and make your bed heat up the water you look at your phone only to say “why bother” my mind is playing games Eyes of people so tame I let out my false anger on people I love Can I envy empty space? Give me some peace, a slice to taste I can’t deny my hate when it doesn’t exist it doesn’t begin Nor does it end Why do I deny? your influences tickle your thoughts it reflects in your actions dangling keys running from the bees the pain is far from being at ease expanding consciousness but I slip when the thoughts come storming Flooding my train of thought Demons to be fought in an empty lot A reason to be caught Alone, this stream I must jot listening to romantic music by the girl with a voice better sounding than the acoustics They think I’m playing but really I’m not boosting The mood changes like a hit before I’m zooted Unexpected But when the heat comes know that it’s brewing The doings of today Forgotten in the days I couldn’t walk straight The moments are delayed Down as of late Early when I bake It just happens no heaven sake It just happens Like I don’t think of the girl I betrayed Never should I have stayed If the love was delayed Why did I choose to stay In a crowd For a band Color and sound The waves take the pain away so late The mind in disbelief happy endings to seize the one in the mirror the only one to please
