behind a roadblock standstill
no one I meet could ever fulfill
take your thoughts, your actions, your words
and lay to rest at the foot of God
the future is approaching slowly
I arrive with caution
a wary understanding
and a repeatedly broken heart
this time shall be the last
as ever to gasp for air
above and below, it's a circus show
and I am the center stage.
with eyes glossed over and a malicious intent
goodbye to all the years I've spent
in doubt, in service, in pride
I'll travel alone for this ride.

a feeling of nearness when I see the countdown
hit me twice in a day, unable to comprehend
my love for you's a sin
futuristic endeavors are far out of reach
for I'll never experience something so
unexplainably deep
and harsh on my soul
but I'd like it to continue into the endless spectrum of wasted time
until someday luck brings upon
maybe a call, maybe none.

Dark and senseless
It all seems endless
Where frozen memories abide
Entering the lives of the unborn
A patch of emotional stability
To keep her sane til night
She's clothed in white
Knowingly guilty but she tries to hide
Colored with doubt,
The memories play out
Not a single scene she remembers

Tonight                  could           be unusual
You'll n e v e r              m/e/e/t    me again
?what's it change?
L0V1NG with all you've got
I'm lying there underneath the HOT
Burning sun with my hand in the s...a...n...d...
You're o  b s  e s  s e  d with y.o.u.r ability to
Change w'h'a't's "around" you (but)
Some
times
it's not EZVZEZRZYZOZNZE Else,
Just a w-av-e_ that runs -t-h-r-o-u-g-h- you
And maybe today you can stay
Just $lightly quiet......................................
Pre-tend like I AM YOURS>>>
Like we have it m*ade, though
(Nothing)'s for .certain.
$$ You're not g. e. t. t. i. n. g.  paid $$$$#$
And the people I meet 411(all) laugh
& throw & their & heads & back
Unless I sAY spoken words and utter some views and let feelings slip because then
I am a str A Y
With no where to l A Y down and
No reason to pr A Y
I have nothing to s A Y!1!!!
You're a B>>E>>AST of a man, with UR hair in disarray and your shorts are untied. . .
But let's ,ignore, the disorganization of the ^^w,O,rL,D around us
Taking ThIs moment beFORe us
It'll ring like a cHoRuS.. . . ... . ... ... .. .. . . in and outside the W ell.
We'll make it like n/e/v/e/r beFORe
____
No feet on the fLOOr ____
Just a !j!u!m!p! into un certain ty
(v)(v)(23)(fv)(4)()(z)()(0)(0)()()(9)(). Where no one will be W/ me
And while eA GleS take the j OOURRENYEEEYY . . .
P a s t the One empty"              trailer"
On                  the s.i.d.e of the                                            road
You and I, we'll CoRRoDE!
After "s"t"o"r"I"e"s untold&
Memories unfold
We will n e v e r grow O L D!!!

the finale is foggy
let'***** the road
trying to get under my skin but
unaware that I am unaware
of your current state of mind
retracing those colored lines
get a grip before you get caught
a solo runaway
to the home at the bottom of the trees
familiar names appearing on the billboards on the interstate
we're under the same stars, but
you see a cloudy canopy
I see every wish a person fought for
hours pass, but the hands stay still
avoiding unnecessary encounters
never running out of ideas
never running out of time
He loves you, but there's somebody else
stuck in a revolution
state trooper on my tail
and I won't chase it until I fall.

There's something about your intent
That makes me question sincerity
If a grown man can fly,
Let the phantom roam freely.
It's not repeatedly beneficial
Exhaust empowers me like never before
A stain on your heart
A faithless testimony
Feet on the seat, head underwater
The future has an undeniable direction
Sympathetic stories to heal your root
Don't let me lie (to you)
The most beautiful still
Is the one the eye can't perceive
A dreary melody to relieve

don't be fooled by a timeless illusion
it's possible that, in the absence of culture, there is enough time to change a perspective
these rhythms make my head spin
scattered confetti in place of tired eyes
as the road swerves, not the driver
desperately praying to remove all thoughts and replace them with song
In theory, it works, but it won't ever
take my body to a permanent venue
a flowing lake overtaken by drowning flocks
