The grass and the root
End the teardrops
Dewdrops
I find simplicity
Poison came
And poison went
Poison never ended my life
It only hurt me
Found its way
Into my arteries
Found my willing all in vein
And tore me apart
I find simplicity
In my inability
To deal
With complexity

Madly beautiful
I should never have a thought
A stray cat in a parking lot
And this is the real world
While I live in dreams
That cannot be

I thought of you
When the fires of hell
Came blaring through my radio
As I drove to another place
I could never call home
You cannot be

Only your name
A song of blissful spring
I want to be an instrument
In an orchestra
I want to play a part
I cannot be

I haven't been
In a long time
I have a dream
That now escapes me
Nothing
New
Nothing as all it ever was

Happy
I haven't been
In a long time
I had a dream
And everything I do
Is meant to take that dream
From memory

I've grown
By dying
I've grown to like the taste of poison
On my lips

I haven't been
Happy
In a long time
To the point
I start to doubt
That I ever really was

I've died
As a consequence of finding
That that's the only thing
Life really has to offer

I'm still alive

Only barely

But tomorrow does bring a new day

No wing is not broken
For the bird who most needs to fly

It was
Never
About filling empty spaces
It was
Only
About finding places to belong

Let the dark day come
When he finds his wings
Can't deliver him

No river meets the ocean
For the big fish in the little pond

It was
Never
About leaving the comfort of home
It was
Only
About finding a place he could belong

Let the dark day come
When he finds the current
Can't deliver him

No poet is not troubled
No poet is not troubled
Let the dark day come
When he finds that art
Can't deliver him

No freeing me when im caught up
Not broken bones nor gelded wings
We've forgotten about a thing
And once flying high
We fall so far

Would you be there in the slaughter?
Could you be there when the demons raze?
And all I say is emptiness
And my mind turns low
Don't cry for me
As its time
And the only thing that shows
Are the lights won't glow
And no one knows

No saving me when im martyred
An unexpected consequence
Of living life and seeing light
what you believe in
And dying in ways unnoticed

Would you be there in the slaughter?
Could you be there when the sword cuts deep?
When all my blood is memory
As my heart turns stone
A complete unknown
Under skies
And the only thing that's real
Are these crumbling walls
And the pain we feel

I'll know your face
A life
away

I first would have to say
That im sure no one will listen
So im sure the first thing that I say
Won't matter
I first would have to say
That you are right
And have always been right
And this reality is a testament
To this

Be so stubborn

Because nothing can be perfect
But the antipode is life that we all know
And we all love it
Our comfort with it

Be so stubborn

Because all we know is all we're told
You know it all
You can't be wrong
You can't

Be so stubborn

Nothing
The way we see it
Particles
And tractor beams
In between the light years
I'm sure you'll find me there

When you cannot know my face
When the boundaries are broken
And we cut a little chase
Unlock your doors
There is no ending

Something
That we don't know yet
These words are song
These words are all right always wrong
And the only thing existing
Is the space we don't belong

When you find and always waiting
When the stars aren't going to show
And we shine a little light
To teach the darkness
There is no ending
