Torin May 2016
This drum set is almost complete
This rhythm
This backbone
This beat
Where are you now Keith Moon?
Where are you when we need you?

These cymbals speak to me so deeply
This music
This note
This history
Come back Nick Mason
Play the drums for me
A warm up

Heart Break
Torin May 2016
A speck of paradise
A miracle abandoned
Only waiting for the clouds to change to gray
Hanging in those dark untitled spaces
Her petals are a useless perfection
Her poetry a moonlit someday

A messy galaxy
A teardrop infinity
Grace doesn't paint amorous feelings
On headaches in the space under the bed
Her flower blooms a bruise
Her worlds are dying words
Dedicated to a friend

Waiting
Torin May 2016
Colors, sounds, art, love                                                             ­     
Give me more noise to drown out the silence                            
Lines on cavas                                                            ­                      
Shape with feeling                                                          ­

Found meaning
When all I'm meaning to say                                                        
*I
was waiting
for you
my whole life
and
if you
leave me now
all I'm waiting on
is death

Who We Are
Torin May 2016
Endless muddled thoughts
Muddied fantasies
Puddles at my feet
Putty I can't mold
We have such visions of art
And dreams of love
Hopes of light
Darkened hearts

Our souls are only fingers reaching
Into our minds
Our feelings come from a place
Of spirits
They are speaking to us
Even now above confusion
They are speaking to us
And I hope that we can listen

Broken skin bleeding
Wind changing direction
When the leaves fall
Sending truth they fall on me
We have such singular wants
And bitter longings
Loss in pleasure
And joy in pain

If we wonder what it means
Well then that is the first step
Which leads to the top of mountains

I'll do anything I need to

I Fall Because Your Falling

I allow
  myself
    to fall
      because
        your falling
          and
            if you're crawling
              on the ground
                 I don't want you
                  to crawl alone
I only
love you
I only want
to show you

Toes
Torin May 2016
More stars in the sky
Than all the grains of sand
On all of the beaches
In all the world
Hourglasses are not a way of telling time
But you tip toe through the cosmos of my mind
You use the stars as stairs
You step with sweet feet
And sultry toes

The sand in your shoes
The sand in your hair
I am the sand
You make me a castle
I love the way you dig your toes into me
Your barefooted passion I feel so deeply
I love everything about you
Your feet walking through me
Your beautiful toes
Inspired by a comment Sydney Rivers left on my poem 'shoes'.

Seemed like a challenging write, I can never refuse a challenge

Hey Jim, You got that bottle of Jack?
Hit that jukebox
I'm trying to listen to some drinking music
What's your choice?
Muddy Waters or Howlin' Wolf
Some good old time blues
How's Patty been?
She's a doll
I don't know how she putsu up with you
Yeah Jim?
Half a handles gone
I guess I'm starting to feel alright
Should we get another bottle?
You know me Jim
I'm tryna drink all night

Still, Jim, listen to me
You need to get off that ****
You know its no good
It won't make you happy
Trust me I know
Jim, I just want you live a long life
Your my drinking buddy, Jim
Not just a good time friend
So pour out another shot
Nah, pour out two
**** it, hand me the bottle
And let me turn it up
You and me Jim
Getting drunk tonight

I Stare Into The Distance
Torin May 2016
I stare in your direction
I know your out there
Somewhere
Waiting for me

You've never really lived
If you haven't ever stared off into the distance

Theres note of you in every song I sing
A voice of you in every word I speak
A truth of you in every place I seek
A drop of you in all the times I bleed

I stare across space
I know I see you
Somehow
Waiting for me

If youve never stared off into the distance
Your life is a shame
"Makes me feel good to know I can love someone like you"

Frowning Shorelines
Torin May 2016
I held hands with oblivion
I saw her eating souls
Just so they could know the pain
The pain she knows
I held hands with her
While she held my heart
I trusted in her
While she tore my heart apart

A million little pieces
Shattered on the floor
Picked up by her hateful fingers
And then thrown into the ocean

**** the frowning shorelines
Its only course sand
And pieces of me
Washed up by the sea


I held hands with the ocean
Not knowing before
How many sailors had drowned
How ever many more
I held hands with her
And told her that I loved her
I wanted for her
While she only wanted sharks

A million sharpened teeth
Ripping at my skin
Devoured by hungry mouths
And then **** back out again

**** the frowning shorelines
*The ever endless coast
I hate that now I'm there
An ever present ghost

Dont Worry, I Understand
Torin May 2016
How can it become
My form of rebellion
Is speaking the truth?

Soothsayers could not talk to God
The way I can
And you are not god
You are man

The whole worlds a cynic
What can you do for me?

And all that I see
Idiotic people everywhere
People people people
And people are stupid

The whole worlds a cynic
What can people offer?

How can it become
My form of rebellion
Is loving on?

Mystics don't know the spirits
The way I do
They talk to you
You haven't got a clue

The whole world's a cynic
What do we give?

Just people multiplying
Not living than dying
People people people
And people are stupid

The whole me is a cynic
And if I have nothing to say
That you want to hear
Nothing to make you smile when you don't deserve it

My form of rebellion is speaking truth
That goes over your head and through the roof
Something you'll never comprehend
But don't worry, I understand

People are stupid
Peasants, pions, be denied of onion rings.

Make Me Dumb
Torin May 2016
I can't live
Without some help
In the form of poison
To make me numb
I can't live
Without depressants
In the form of liquid
To make me dumb

I haven't cracked a smile
In a long while

the dying of the light
Torin May 2016
Its not that I don't have light
Lamps and candles and lanterns and flashlights
And suns that only ever set
Its not that I don't have light
Its just sometimes I feel much better
In the darkness

So let night be my home
Let these creatures roam
Caught in a gloaming
Red eyed mouth foaming
Because all I know
With someone I'm all alone

Lamps need outlets
Candles drip their wax and lose their flame
Lanterns without oil can't create shadows
Flashlight with dying batteries
And the sun

The sun is going to set
Torin May 2016
Awaiting divine intervention
The play reached its intermission
Nuclear fission and friction
Gods kitchen
And we can all go hungry

The stars shine without reason

Still I thought that I should mention
Screaming so loud no one listens
Peace in bitter condescension
A beautiful fiction
And we can all believe it

We can all bleed the same

We are strokes caused by lesions
On the brain
Of the singular concience

There is only one mind
And its sorry all the time

Its sorry in any dimension
You're ******* welcome

Chicago
Torin May 2016
A part of my soul
Goes to Chicago
Where you can never see any stars
But the seer's tower
Stands miles high
And from the top you can witness the world

You Don't Love Me Anymore
Torin May 2016
I watched the bandits come to steal my sky
Black mask and black eyes
Black shapes spreading night
They stole the silver lining of the clouds
They took the sun and took the moon
Absconded with the stars I wish on
Held in their cruel gloved hands
All of my dreams

I swam with sharks to save you from drowning
Hungry and hateful
Sharp teeth driven by instinct
They smelled my blood in the water
Could feel my hearts broken beating
Madly longing for meat
A feeding frenzy
My flesh a feast

I died in a war to live with you
Young and hopeful
Bullets smile as they cut me down
Bombs falling as rain I try to dance in
I feel explosions in my heart
tanks and armies marching
I see enemy lines
And battles lost

Raw Sound
Torin May 2016
These symbols I have found
On paper laying down
Unspokenly loud
A tribute to raw sound
Its just a feeling going round
Come back around

Fly without wings
And fall from the sky
Swim without fins
And drown in the sea
Burn without flame
And become only ash
Dream without hope
And suffer nightmares

These meanings I can see
Only in imaginings
This beautiful ugly
A tribute to raw sound
Its just something to believe
A song to sing
" I've been to a society where you can't see yourself and you can't feel sunshine
And if you see me roaming the hillside won't you come along? It's all gone to
The top of yourself. You'll always be alone.
I like you in my love, makes me feel good just to know I can love someone like you.
They'll make it hard for you choose. I can understand but when you see the tears coming you close
Your eyes.
To you I'm sure it's no surprise that I could be one of the dead."

-John Frusciante

Nothing In My Hands
Torin May 2016
I have nothing in my hands
But......
I love you
I have nothing
But you know I'll give nothing to you
Because I'll give you everything I have
Everything I have

I know......
It could never be enough
Because my touch is priceless
But it could never buy you food
And I don't expect you starve
Just because I love you

So let this cash exchange unfeeling hands
That you may eat
Let me be lonely
When not a soul
Can love you more
My hands.......

I have nothing in my hands

And you deserve the world I'll never hold
May 2016 · 459
this could be
Torin May 2016
This could be a song
Forever I can't sing
Because I'm tired
I can't sing
So I speak
As though I have something to say

This could be a joy
Forever I can't smile
Because I'm tired
I can't smile
Still I try
As though I was made to enjoy the world

This could be a life
Forever I am dying
Because I'm tired
I can't live
But I'm alive
As though these things I touch I feel
Friday night, drunk whatever, can't help but write

North Carolina
Torin May 2016
The most beautiful place on earth
Lives in North Carolina
But
I'm not sure what place it is

Maybe its the Blue Ridge
The Stretch of parkway between Asheville and Boone
The most ancient mountains on earth
And when your there
You can see forever
And you can feel it
The spirit
The sweet breath of the world
The way its loving arms can hold you
On top of mountains
Where you can hear
Gods voice

It had to be
That the king
Lives in the Queen City

Maybe its the stretch of sand
Ralieghs lost colony
**** Devil Hills and Nags Head
Highway twelve
Where the horses run wild
And the water is so peaceful
You'd gladly drown yourself
Just to forever be a part of it all
Where the most glorious sight
Is seen from a hill
Overlooking the Atlantic
And watching the sunrise
Alone

The most beautiful place on earth
Is in North Carolina
Waiting for you to arrive

                   And your air that you breathe

Come your spirit

You Become My Strength
Torin May 2016
I'll save the world
To save you
I'll crusade
Fight a holy war
I'll fall in the name of God
Just so you can rise
I'll reach the world
To reach you
I'll touch every heart
And all the skin
My fingers growing numb
Just so you can feel

I'll shout louder than all other voices

I'll change the world
To show you
There can be demons
But they must battle angels
I'll die in this world
Just so you can live
I'll set fire to the world
To start a flame in your heart
I'll burn intensely
Hotter than the sun
I'll suffer the fires of hell
Just so you can know heaven

Somewhere
Is thinking good things about me
Somehow

I hope

Something
Is reaching past this distance and time
Someone

I hope

Hope that

dimethyltryptamine
Torin May 2016
What is it when your dying
That makes you feel so alive?
Synapses shorten
Moment lengthens
There is no time
Only right now as forever

Birth and death
It all begins and ends the same way
And you'll find that in your dreams

There is spirit
Inside of you
As a molecule
Find it
Breathe it in
Let the colors be more beautiful
This life be more meaningful
Die or be born
Dream

You burst into this place

Its always inside you
Just waiting for your realease

My Ghost Haunts Another
Torin May 2016
I remember when every shadow I saw was her
A blurry eyed vision
A colorless shape without edges
An energy I could feel
Always present
I remember how her hands would touch me
Softly leaving their mark
She wrote her name on a wall
In black marker
Then she carved it in stone
I remember when she loved me as I love her
Her ephemeral love
Her phantasmal touch
Her promise
To always be there in my darkness
I remember when she was behind me and in front of me

I cannot forget

I remember when she loved me
As a ghost can only love a tortured soul
As the spirit loves the flesh
My flesh torn by her fingernails
Her calling my name
I remember how she left me

I cannot forget

My ghost
Fell into the shadows
And disappeared
Gone
I don't know where she is
But I know
My ghost with love so sweet
If she's not haunting me
She haunts another
Let it hit you

The Hands Of Angels
Torin May 2016
A hand lifts you up
Whenever the darkness growing becomes a pool you drown in
Even in your pain and fear
You feel angelic hands
Touching the very deepest part of you
A hand of fated love
To give you hope

In the sorrow of your sobbing
You can still hear a beautiful song
Keeping you alive



A hand you hold in the morning
After its laid sweet dreams over your nightmares
Pushing forward
Healing heartache
Caressing your satin skin with delicate fingers
Putting the stars in your eyes
You live again and again and want to live some more
Just to feel this love

Your mind at peace
An angels heart beat
Pumping blood through your veins
Fortitude
You laugh at the pain
And await your next dream
About dancing naked in the rain

*In the sorrow of your night
You can still see these angels hands
Holding the morning

So Many Thoughts
Torin May 2016
And all at the same time
Too many thoughts were on my mind
That I couldn't pick one
Too much to say I said nothing

I just stared blankly as you walked away
When you wanted me to walk with you

And all at the same time
So many thoughts were on my mind
So many dreams that don't come true
So many answers I'll never find

I was just looking for the question
When it never really mattered anyways
May 2016 · 248
God Is Love
Torin May 2016
We all come from somewhere
Aliens or apes
Divine image
We have a true story
But what does it matter?
Past has passed
Confusing history
Battles lost and won
But what does it matter?
Our story is our future
What we make it
The world, we shape it

The story we write

I want that story to be about love
I'd rather leave you loving you, than stay with you hating myself.

shoes
Torin May 2016
Because I love you
And your not alright
Even my shoes will fall apart
As I expect it is only deeper meaning
How much I love you
Probably more than you can ever know
And my shoes
And their sole
Are only just a metaphor

My every step
Foot falls harder
In unending goal
To walk to where you are

I'm ripping my sole to pieces

Right foot.
Torin May 2016
I find joy in my sorrow
Just that I can feel
Anything
At all
At least
I find pleasure in pain

I laugh at my demons
I shout into silence
I cry for my angels
I drown into flames
I shine into darkness

I burn with emotion

I find peace in suffering
Just another test
Everything
At most
I find I overcome

I speak to my ghost
I lean into shadows
I touch without hands
I drown into air
I shine into darkness

I burn with emotion

Shattered Night Of Memory
Torin May 2016
Its just the coldness
Its just so foolish
A fool moon
To make me feel its ending
Its just the darkness
The naked sky is starless
A word unsaid
That keeps ringing inside my head

Its not the moon
Its not me
Its me.......
Its not you
Its not me
Its me.......
Its not you
Its the world we know
Its the shattered night of memory

Singing songs to the night
And hoping that where ever you are
You can hear
Singing songs to the night
And hoping that where ever you are
You can be near
To me

Its just whatever
Whatever we say it is
All of nothing
To make me feel I'm losing something
Its just the abyss
I'm ready to jump
When you aren't
This deadly pool of frozen nothing

Don't hold my hand
Its not me
Its me.......
Its not you
           Its me.......
                    Its not you
Its the world we know
Its the shattered night of memory

the sky in ohio
Torin May 2016
Death is an amerous being
Whose arms only want to hold you
The sky in Ohio is gray
Deny
Refute his claim
His conquering of your flesh
His irascible nature incurable
That your not ready to join him
In whatever darkness is his aim
His joy
His lonely and greedy demands
His need for fossils
Keep your light
Give your life
When the time is right
The sky in Ohio is gray

You have a chance
Take it and run
Away from his hateful clutch

An Ode To The Lonely King
Torin May 2016
Magnificent castles
Impenetrable
Fortified as a heart
Who let's not an enemy in
Castle walls
Unscalable
Protection from the world
And all of its pain

The lonely king
Wants nothing more than a queen
To love him
As he honors her
As he showers her with gifts of a kingdom
And as she speaks

These kings defense
Boundaries
Armies and treaties
Sentries in the night on guard
Shields and armor
Impenetrable
Blades and arrows
To strike invaders down

The lonely king
Needs nothing more than a queen
A beautiful love
A glorious empire
As he's ruling by divine right
He puts God on her side
May 2016 · 448
An Ode To Words Unheard
Torin May 2016
Your whisper not loud enough
For there are blowing winds
And beating wings
Distance between the mouth and the ear
If what was said is of importance
I'm sorry, my love
I can't hear
Not with these angry cars
And jackhammers
Beating up the streets

Your voice not musical
Not memorable
Not special enough to be heard
When the message sent does matter
And nothings more important
The matter of the fact
There are birds singing
And evil radios
And all matter of interference
Good or bad
There's always something standing in the way

Now you are screaming
Like the wind and the light
Touching four senses
Lacking sense of touch
Its nothing I can feel
Its only the empty hands of ghost
The broken and her fear
The loving and her loss
You can shout at the top of your lungs
All the words that speak your soul
But you'll be shouting into darkness
Torin May 2016
I'm in the sky
With a knife
Stabbing at the clouds
Massive gashes
The belly of the nimbus
Bleeding out
Its cries are thunder
Its tears are rain
The sky is pain
I strike as lighting

These gray skies in my eyes
Are how the storm in my soul
Tries to escape


I'm in the wind
Howling with the trees
Your whole house quakes
Foundation shakes
My whisper in the breeze
Becomes a scream
Something you can feel
But never hold
My turbulence
Blowing bitter cold

Only may my tears
Become the clouds

**I want them to rain on you

Ode To Broken Rocks
Torin May 2016
The pickaxe was charming
And you once were whole
But the tanned laborer
Burnt brown by the sun
Made the pickaxe sing
Whistle in the wind
You felt the impact
The pickaxe once so charming
Broke you in two
These broken rocks
Fields strewn with your saddest story
About how time erodes
And the hand of man
Destroys
You were there in the beginning
The earth started spinning with you
Your witness to creation
Your abysmal ghost
You were there in the beginning
And all your broken pieces
Your bitter memory
Will be there in the end
With words unspoken
Shouting louder than the dying sun
All your broken pieces
Will be there in the end
To testify
May 2016 · 615
An Ode To The Poet
Torin May 2016
I create life in you
You
Who I've never seen
And never spoken too
I paint colors on gray skies
And feelings on the wind

I give you dreams
You
Who only know me
As a name without a face
I trace lines in outer space
I give meaning to constellations

I teach you imagination
You
Who wonder mindlessly
Through lifes daily procession
I reach heaven and hell
Bringing you the better parts of both

I am your hope
You
Who knows that art will still exist
Even if unappreciated
I was born for a purpose
Even if its lost on most

I show love to you
You
A better thing I'll never do
A deeper truth found only here
In the words
Of the poet
Written for all the poets, what do we write for anyways?

The Angels Cry
Torin May 2016
The angels cry
I feel it on my skin
It falls as rain
I know just what it means
Wickedness and sin
Desolate pain
From the times when I've been wrong
All the things I've done

The angels cry
In morbid fascination
Feathers and freefalling
I know the reason why
When the sky breaks
So do I
And so do they

The angels cry
From whence they used to pity
Now they only grieve
They saw the birth of fires
The watched them as they grew
And swallowed us all
From the times when we were broken
And the truth of being hopeless

The angels cry
Only hoping their teardrops from the heavens
Will drown us in their mercy
Note 1

My thousandth post on HP, in less than six months no-less
Torin May 2016
I throw water into the river just to save it from its thirst
The throat of rapids raging I imagined as always parched
The banks of tributaries are always arid in their craving
The conflux only symbolizing lust
I dream the point where rivers meet as always foaming in desire
Burning hot and desperate in their yearning and their want
Longing now to only know and see the deepest ocean
I throw water into to the river trying to save it from itself

And then I quickly drown inside the rain

I'm Going To Love You
Torin May 2016
I'm going to love you
I go over infinate space
Never finding solace
I go over a mountain range
Where snow never melts
I go over lonely roads
Where there is no ending
I go over suns and moons
Which only set
I go through darkness
Knowing there's a light
Somewhere for me
Something I can see
I feel at distance
I feel obdurance
I feel the hard cold clay beneath my feet
Clay which could never be molded
Could never be art
But even the darkness speaks
To the light
In my heart
I'm going to love you

so few
Torin May 2016
So many drown in depth
So few
Can see depth with feeling
I am an ocean
Could you be a shark?
Breathing underwater
Always moving forward
Ready to eat my words alive

So many burn in the fire
So few
Can ever control
I am a flame
Running wild
Untamed by hands of man
Turning all to ashes
Especially the willing cinder

I burn for you
I throw my spirit onto paper
My spirit
I only hope you can overcome

Torin May 2016
I see you in the stars
Somehow you have been changed
From how the mortal eyes have seen you
Your mouth which used to speak
Of hatred and hope oblique
Becomes a beak without your teeth

Rage was born
But it will die
When its thrown into the fire

A brittle constellation
An ancient observation
You invite your guest to **** them
The poison of your being
These wounds caused by your sword
Let Heracles avenge them

All night
I look at you
Such beauty born from hatred

The knives in your hands
Cannot be be held by wings
Your arms that change until you drop them
The blasphemous skin
And fingers meant for ripping
These are the feathers that replace them

The sound of blood
And ugliness
Becomes beautiful music
Cygnus the swan. Greek mytholgy. You as a reader, I doubt you'll understand.

We all
ALL of us
Everyone
We all
Are slaves

SO
........let us build the pyramids
.....let us build the Parthenon
let us build America

And

Let us watch time make it all fall d
                       .                                         o
                       .                                    w
                       .                                         n

What we create
In the service of our masters
Is only temporary

Our Titanic on a very first voyage

The only thing
That last forever
Is what makes us most afraid

What makes me most afraid

We are all slaves
And it will
ALWAYS
Be this way
Torin May 2016
Her name now
Is whispered to me by the wind
Its the air I breathe
Her pain now
Is crackling in the fire
That keeps me warm
Her love
Her joy
Her fear and her loss
Is a coin that I could never toss
Her heart now
Is played in the rhythm
Of every song I hear
Her skin now
Is the elusive cloud
I can speak to and never hold
Her hopes
Her dreams
Her blood and her tears
Are stains that can't be cleaned

My Words
Torin May 2016
May my words be glorious
Victorious
Infintisimal
May they be a glitch in the matrix
Seen before
Done before
When it's the first time you hear

May they be the wings of angels
The hands of devils
The non committal
The ever lasting truth
And always
Let all of my words speak to you
In a way you never knew
Let them show deeper meaning
Profundity of feeling

May my words be shouted from a pulpit
Or whispered from a pit
May they be everything
Both fools gold
And wiseman's lesson
An image you see in your mind
The beauty of mankind
And the torture that comes from living
A painting in black and white
With no canvas
And space and shape
Are only sound
Of my words read aloud

May my words be the footfalls
Of a sanguine traveler
A despondent wanderer
Let my words find their home
That they may win or lose
Or be whatever you choose
Let them find you

May my words reach you

Only Yours
Torin Apr 2016
I would've given up
A long time ago
**** it
I should give up now
But I can't
Its only because my empty hands
Hold a heart
And if I'm buried
I'm taking it with me
It's mine
As mine has always been
       Only yours......
I should've given up
A long time ago
I know
I could give up now
But I won't
Its only because I still have love to give
You as well
And if I get lost in darkness
Your light will fade
Its true
As truth has always been
Only yours
•••••••••••••√√√√√√√√√√••••••••••••••
I'll be your eyes to help you see
You'll be my heart to help me bleed
I'll be your shadow
You'll be my ghost
We'll share a body
~~~~~••••••••••~~~~~
We'll share a love
We'll share a house
We'll share the stars
That we're made from
                                I could be strong
                                    Without you
                                    But I'd never
                                   Be strong
                                    Enough
+++++++++++++++­+++++++++++++++
I was born
To love you
Its written in the stars
You were made
To love me
Its written on your heart
Four seperate poems
Combined and taken whole
I know I'm drunk, but this makes my ***** tingle
Torin Apr 2016
Rings around the head are not a halo
Its all illusion
A planet of confusion
I hold back my wreaking havoc

I love Despina
I'll do anything to set her free
From the gravity
Of her tragedy

A girl with a halo is not an angel
Im standing on the furthest moon
Aiming for neptune
Im singing songs by psychic pisces feeling pain

I love Galatea
I would gladly die for her
She'll turn my blood into a river
My spirit immortal

An angel without wings is my protector
She cannot fly to me
But I feel her touch
And every bomb I drop

I love Thalassa
I am happy to drown in her spirit of the sea
I know its only the winds
Which make her not be at peace

I'm drawn to the blood
The flight of a one-winged dove

Black And White Rainbow
Torin Apr 2016
A black and white rainbow
Pixelated and distorted
Sent as zipped up information
Stored as a file in my memory
These Terra bytes are more than mega
Unpacked and shining bright
My eyes and digital image
Signals on a screen
There is no beauty in technology
Only cold charts and data
Just index of double helix
Just codes and firewalls
Just system analytics
Just fiber optic cables

Somehow through endless fields of source
Through endless pattern repeated
I found an oracle of infrastructure
The platform where she stands

the others
Torin Apr 2016
Then there are the others
The ones who can speak clearly
Still feeling deeply
And all the while maintaining sanity
When walking the razors edge of lunacy
The ones who are mad
Laughing in the face of danger
And fear
And loss
And pain
And seeing even in loss
The something that's gained
The lesson better learned and never forgotten
Glory be to the others!
Because with each trap
They don't fall in
There is a torch being advanced
And more light to combat the darkness
Those blessed others
Who know at least as much
Or more
Or all
Or truth
And see the ultimate goal
Without distraction

well,
This wasn't composed for youthful souls
But rather the old ones
The ones who have seen it all
And will continue to see
Despite the agony
Despite defeat
Or pain
Or fear
Or worse than death
A loss of feeling


I wrote this from my soul
So I don't expect you to understand
I wrote this for the others

if you don't know by now
Who I'm talking about
Just look to the past

They're names are littered through history
And others exist today
They are the ones who will hear me
You may know them by a craft

The others will always create art
