A Walk Through the Dark

I said "Fine fine fine" while walking at an angle, staring at you from afar. How could things have fallen this off projection? Craved a crystal ball outlook but knew that the lantern was all I'd ever need to finally see
If time will only tell then it'd best start running from me.
Who would have thought my self-destruction would be key? To the door, through the gate, past portals.
Reinvent, coalesce, redefine.
An amalgam. A state of contention, to find it’s demise.
I’ll once again have to make room for “Peace As The Prize.”
After these trite petty qualms find a means to an end I'll be spinning with no delay naturally realigning bends.
While they scream
"Crack your ribs. Contort to default position. Begin again. There’s no need for this religion.”
Lose your mind. Stop yelling at it all. Lose your mind again. Give it time to respond. Lose your mind, my friend. With your back against the wall. I heard that “Lost minds will find peace in time” if so when will we finally arrive?

That fateful morning the cat awoke to find it's loved one missing, so it started to choke. Coughed up a fur ball as big as me, then she passed out for a week. While on the other side of things her owner was with me.
Can't fight you on this, I don't want to.
Can't fight you on this, there's no point to.
Don't want to believe you're moving on. You some how always know right when something's wrong with me. All I think of is you pawing at my chest slowly. (All I think of is you swatting at my feet. Why so mad?)
I can't fight you on this. Can't fight you on this. Didn't think didn't think didn't think didn't think this through.
I can't fight you on this. I would never want to when my specialty is listening intently. Why are you so far away?

Set a course for my heart, where all good things fall a part. I could be the absolute worst human being but I would much rather hold my tongue.
Everything in your mind that changed with time makes me sick. Decaying I will breathe.
What are the odds?
While replacing me I've been traversing contentment
Then who's settled the score?
Our fingers lay hostage to the inner workings of our picayune ideas that we spread passive aggressively.
So now here we have a runaway type of situation and you can't seem to find what it is that you left behind.
Everything in your mind that changed with time makes me sick. I've gotta find another comforting hand to hold onto. Decaying no longer. I'm finding peace.
But oh what are the odds? You're breaking my heart. What are the odds? Drama. Step out.

You and What Army?

Confirm kill. Just as we planned.
Do a sweep now just to be clear.
The room spins but let my intentions be crystal. You can't stop what was always there. The space shrinks while my mind expands. Don't give into these crafty plans.
What's this benevolence? Man, it's so relevant. Have I lost my marbles again?
When the clock ticks backwards I'll be breaking hands to get what I want.
But I never get what I want.
A new disguise will help trivialize what was already bogus. What was so filled with lies. If the hands on the clock keep spinning. (Like they always do) I'll sure as hell keep sinning. (Like I always do)
But wait! There's more. An effective run through the door. Are you with me? Let's replace dreams. Be patient not afraid. Stare the coward in the face. Build up a tolerance and watch it all leave.
Now I'm lying here in place. Blankets devouring me. Four walls trap me from outer-space. My arms are tied and weak.
Do you remember when you said you would leave me be? Do you remember how everything even felt for me?
I won't be standing right in place merely admiring the view. Launching in motion for the sake of our misplaced history.

Escaping Reality
03:57

In search to find an alternate timeline. A tear in the fabric. A hole in the sky. Contemplating if I should re-frame my mind. This status quo is what will show that everything we love must go. Everything we love must go.
After all I'm feeling optimistic today. Even when she saw my face eaten by my thoughts she knew that I would be okay. Relishing the fact that I don't have a say in what you do. My vanishing mirage, of what I once knew.
Been on this spinning carousel for far too long and now it's time to put my fists up for a big ole fight.
(Despite everything that's happened in life it never hurts to get a roundhouse kick to the face every once in a while to really remind you that you have a pulse, ya know what I'm saying?)
Flee from the obvious
Before it's beaten you to death
Find a way to fix this
or just become the enemy
Everything we love must go
In search to find a world outside of you
In search to find the world outside of you

Let me set this up. Let's make a scene for all to share. A living painting moved to joy from despair.
So casually erasing stains while no one's looking. Suppressing conversation; I end up sitting pretty. Black holes on the horizon, expect to be divided.
Wanting order but it would just be another line in the sand if there were any sign of land.
So casually arranging frames with all eyes on me. Released from conversation I get to be nit picky. Now where's the fun in that?
Let me end this off assured I've said what I have to say. We're shifting artwork filled with flaws on display.

Trees as far as the eye can see
But I know what I'm in for
And I know I better watch my step
In the wake of devastation
I find myself reawakening
In the land of the living
But not for long
It's the same mundane pleasantries over and over
From augments to fragments we all fall a part
Oh no, oh no
In the wake of devastation, I’ll mulligan every shot I take.
It cannot be this way
We're running out of days
The solution will only make it's way in time
Forgiveness, White as snow
One more day of this, I know
It's about time I accept my fate
(The darkness colliding
This light redefining
The water will carry you home)

A deep mist
In Unrest
Maybe
We should
Face this head on
To the place in the dark
Past the woods through the fog
A dissonant hum
I thought it would take you from me
Hold my hand, tread lightly, and never look to what's behind
“I’ve never been in a place like this before and I never want to come back again"
For once we fled the scene now trapped in a bottle on a table. Being peered at by an eye of judgement.
"Watch your back and I'll watch mine"
A deep mist in unrest, I'm not so scared of all of this
Everything will be alright
Everything will be just fine
If I say it will be, I say it will be

Black holes on the horizon, I expected to be divided.
When everything feels like a step backwards will I need to rewind the tape for you? Maybe I'm just wasting time staring at your face, the sky at my feet, will you send me off? Despite everything it's still you.
It cannot be this way
We're running out of days
The solution will only make it's way in time

Where have I found myself?
One moment I was frail, now I'm electric.
Can't last forever though
Can't last forever, no.
Don't be afraid to step out of time when it feels right.
Find home in yourself.
Open your heart to open your head
Break out
Begin again. No more playing pretend.
Let that end.
I want it all so very badly. Patience is gone. I loved you madly.
Crack your ribs. Contort to default position. There's no need for this religion.
It's a double edged sword pierced straight through my body. Don't wipe the blood on the other end. The metaphysical is taking shape around my cursed limbs.
Watch it pull me in.
Just keep up the pace with peace even when everyone is screaming "crack your ribs. Contort to default position. Begin again."

Here, the end of it all. Worlds between worlds. Thoughts between thoughts.
Just another walk through the dark.
Here, at the end of all
Naturally aligned to become a caged forgettable. A tad too unreal to break through the surface.
I’ll find myself at “Peace As The Prize.”
But wait once more, as I careen to the floor. Are you with me? Time isn’t what it seems. 10,000 years below, past a century through a cone. If time tells all, it’d best stay away from me.
With this new power that I’ve gained I’ll retake and reclaim.
Set the bar so high, lost bluest skies. What's left for my fingers to lose grasp of? At peace but there's no release.
I’ll be trapped spiraling on universal repeat
I won’t be trapped spiraling on universal repeat
Lose your mind again
(Trapped spiraling) on repeat
Lose your mind again
(on repeat)
Lose your mind again
(Trapped spiraling)
You've lost your mind, dear friend
(Trapped)
