how can you know?
it's merely a show
a sleepless night
three meters below the rising sun.
in the impact zone
I watch as you chase
a love out of your league
but time will erase
all memories with ease
stop by, if you please.
you're so vague, I struggle for words
to define our fate
maybe I'm catching a glimpse of
what looks just like bait,
so they can reel me in...
pull me under...
I'm a sucker for love and need to take cover
Don't let me go!
I need something to hold on to!
your careless affection
toomuchtotakein
I'm sleepless tonight.
Lying awake, drowned by anger and
sadness and fear
yet still wanting you here

slightly ****** but not enough to moan
she takes the day and makes it her own
so much responsibility!
so many obligations!
so many plans!
thinking maybe a doze would be better
than constantly trailing
a thread of conscious mannerisms
yes, most certainly.
a shawl to throw over me
a cover for an unresponsive world and
mimicking cheap actions for cash
I'll think I will let her stay inside today

Do I want to enter wholeheartedly
Or is it easier to prohibit emotion?
Trustworthiness is earned
Yet falling seems inevitable
How can I respond,
When my heart is still broken from the last
I want to give it my all
Disregarding the past

In the general I am abiding
Recording scenarios of importance
Scheming with the nobles
To hire a switching head
It’s unsafe to continue into tomorrow
Implode before you try
A trial worth a single coin
Flares can’t cause immense pain upon
A swath of amenities foregoing change
Bringing a forceful bond.
Sometime will be worthwhile
Though not today, another mile
Will do to aid in your indoctrination, darling
The experience of a lifetime
Hopeless admiration runs deeply
Seeping into uneducated minds
Representation becomes toxic and all I want is
To see you strive for one more nod
It’s unusual to not want you
But my mind weaves mysterious trails
Through the broken lifetime - reality…
Coding your brain to the desires of a higher party
Dominate the status and ride this new wave
I’ll be stuck in a cave, resolving a memory
You have no influence on me
Boredom overflows from the outside in
I’m sick, I’m disgusted, I am injured within
Let the girl sleep, she’s lost in her dreams
Taking the drive
One image at a time
Making an accidental stop
At the house of your mother
Uneasy like no other
Fighting to be free, run away with me
Or from me, depending on
Desperate grievances that conduct an old light
Of the movement, I am fond.
Tripping on feedback
Hesitant to paint your head black
So sick of the stacks
Piling up on the table, advances unable
Common brainchilds I may lack.
A swampy movie to preoccupy
Tearing everything down

soft spoken murmurs slide in
to invoke horror or darling,
a song
to smear untrue stories or to resist
didn't catch that, honey,
creating a face to match an unfamiliar voice
common issues haunt you
a tack in the side, along for the ride
you get it, I get it, let's get up and go
sleeping late and forgetting your tea I promised so long ago

seize my heart and take the rest away
frazzled on a sunny day
I hope to God you're here to stay

walking in a straight line
you won't listen to any whine
but when you call to interrupt
you won't interrupt anything at all.
everywhere I turn you'll turn
either following or admiring, but I truly can't care
I can admire your restless soul
and the days we spend
I'm able to pretend
stare at me until I cry
melting in your arms, I'm not the only one
laugh with me until I die
one wrong step and
Blood will take your name
one eye closed and the other on the cage
flooded with wisdom
******* by memories
free me, I'm yours
neither my doing nor
yours in your little secluded reality
lie to me, make me feel better
shaking 'til a snowstorm blows
worries into flakes and I
will walk in a crooked line
maybe I'm high
maybe I'm shy
maybe I just want to be close to you
