Happiness; it hides away
No light shines on me today

Soul is made of broken bones
Spirit sings its lonely moans

Tomorrow is a brand new day
The hope is that I fade away

The voice has lost it’s faithful ways
The hands no longer feel embrace

Thoughts they breathe of yesterday
My heart, it fleas; a castaway

Eyes of broken window glass
No time for me, he’s come at last

The darkness guides me, with it’s craze
These feelings now, an endless maze

Can I fix this hole i’ve made?
Can I fix this inhumane?

A whisper of the heart unsung
Tears are falling, still I’m numb

Another one has taken my place
A new name, a new face

I’ve taken my sane
It’s me whose to blame

Couldn’t find my soul a home
Grinded down, right to the bone

Another perfect wannabee
I ate the fruit of apple tree

Could I wake another day?
Could I wake a pure saint?

But time my friend reiterates
This could be my early grave
this poem is the sound of someone speaking from inside that early grave

Out of body
in my element
too far to reach
give me less
let me rest

complaining
so restraining
illuminating
how you put it on

the sun goes down
here they come
ill never learn
we all burn

maybe that's the key
feeling nothing
its ecstasy

what do you do
when you know
just how far
it can go

can't keep going on
pretending, defending
in some sense
of relief
can't let go

only some
really grow

empty my mind
too much time
they all call it ******

hold your space
know your place
i see you
every time
tore me in two
running from you

where do i go?
nobody knows
drifting, i float
mind only explodes

Can we find again
what's never been found
it's all in your head
make them believe
make them fend

relinquished your power
what are the odds?
the king's lost his crown
the queen's lost her king
don't you drink too much
or you will drown

that's right
that's right
alright
run again
turn their heads
make your bed
and you all look the same

who'd have thought?
I guess it's a lesson learnt
if you play with fire
then you will burn

here they go again
those worries seem so small
the thought of losing
take it away
taken away
lost again
where are the trees?
where are my friends?

goosebumps have died
whose side are you on?
maybe we can hide
i'm gonna hold on

mum's crying
you're crying
the circus is on fire
split down the middle
it's not a clean cut

fill my cup
clean my wounds
but
i am not the same
give me your heart
and i will run again

Simmer down, simmer down
the lights gone from this town
what happened to the trees?
are we ever truly free?
are we ever truly seen?
simmer down, simmer down
same is sane in this town

we make our beds
we call them friends
we turn our heads
so we all look the same
a game that never ends
a game that's all pretend
same is sane, i'll say it again

so simmer down, simmer down
or **** your mind, join the hive
and play the game, and take their crown
but we soldiers march in unity
fighting for us all to drown
fighting for another day
another day, so we can fake
there's no light, it's take, take, take
open your eyes! for ***** sake

don't you want to feel alive?
instead of just survive?
but no
close your eyes, close your mind
don't be such a fool
you're acting like a clown
simmer down, simmer down
same in sane, in this town.

What a bland world
in which i now exist
no longer does he want me
no longer is there need

Oh but what a free world
in which i now exist
no longer do i wonder
much stronger, i persist
the pain of confusing love but the freedom of its death.

Walk in
head high
eyes wide
the first bridge

enter the realm
the second
the heart
and within
stay clear

there is a third
enter the veins
and see the small things sprout
across the final one
a drop of change
and a piece of you stays
that is the trade

don’t look back
no slack
go do it again
but they are not the same
with fear in the heart
go do it again
we shed our selves again and again and again in this life
