The words on the screen
They're tough to read
They tell us truths
And the truths get warped
By those who fear to accept
To understand
To lose their power
I don't know who wrote these words
This time
Or the last
But I know there will be more
There will be those who plant their feet in the mud so thick they'll never move
Never budge
Content in not knowing
Because to understand would mean to give up the power that they've had
That wasn't real to begin with
False truths
Those words have power
I don't know who wrote those words
But the truths they write
Can start a flood
And ignorance can drown you

When the world is asleep and my back aches from the tension
I lay and stare
The sliver of light that sneaks in from the busy street below can only hold my attention for so long
My eyes wander and find the back of your head
Looking away from me eyes closed no worries
While lightning bolts slice down my spine
My eyes heavy with sleep my body electrocuted and on fire
No calming me now
You told me once to find a happy place
There are so many I know there are but I can't find them
Calm ocean scenes interrupted by tsunamis
Family holidays with earth shattering accidents
Laying on your chest and the ground moves as you tell me you're leaving me
Is my mind playing tricks or is it all impending doom
The storm in my body shocks my brain and I can't tell the difference between real and dreams
Or is it my reality now
Not sleeping just staring
Envious of you, as you are oblivious of the weather in our bed
