Find me. I'm falling. And fooling myself that it's flight. Imperfect. I plummet. And ponder. Pushed away on principle. . Walk away and I stare. Would you stand me up again?.
We soldier on. Through hell's high water. This war's a losing fight. The past is gone. The future further. Retreating out of sight. . And after the fire has died.
You cannot hide. Your pedigree. Don't call me cynical.. I can't provide. A guarantee. Don't call me cynical.. . Time and time again. I'm finding a better defense.
Just move along. There's nothing to see here. Just flashing lights that simmer. In pools that catch their crimson. . As the spectacle unfolds. On tiptoes, bells and whispers.
I can feel you pull away. And it's just as I lean in. And the timing leaves me wide open. With a miss I am betrayed. Slices right through my thick skin.
For all the times that I apologized. With humbled head and weeping sighs. I find the times I tried to hold the lie. With sweaty palms and knuckles white.
Yesterday's. Cathedrals. Bleed to the malls of today. Each prick with. A needle. Carries the sacred away. The structure. That feeds us. Now comes with a concession tray.
I get lost behind the plot. And I'm skinny with regret. And I barely breathe enough. And I'm swimming in the thoughts. That I haven't got to yet. And I crane to rise above.
Excuse my ignorance,. But isn't this what men strive lifetimes for?. The price is high, but consequence. Of spinelessness will cost much more. . Kerosene....
Minds. (It's cold outside). Will go unbroken. (Close the door). Thoughts. (Once complete). Will fade away. (Never more). . I'm reaching to find. The words to define.
All I know is fading. Anxiously awaiting. Furtively frustrating. Endlessly parading down. . All I feel is falling. Clutching sky but stalling. When the past comes calling.
If I told you. That the crowd was all ears,. Could you find the words to say?. If I told you. You could take home the prize,. Would you know the game to play?.
These embers burn down low. And with my face aglow. You are all I know. . Set this place on fire. Watch the flames rise higher. As they reach the ceiling.
My angel, hello. I've missed you so long. Is this fiction?. Is it real?. Things aren't quite what they seem in here. Yeah. . Yeah, something wicked,. Something I've never seen before,.
Blame me just like a fool. There's really no excuses. Its just something you do so easy. . Acting out just like a child. Living your life somewhere in denial.
You promised me the world and I saw nothing. How could I have ever been so dumb?. Manipulate and take what you want from me. You're so original. . Without love, without trust,.
Outta box and the top can't be lifted. What am I to do, I gave you anything. I'll give you anything.... Heaven sent but the price isn't worth it. Though it's not enough, I gave you anything.
Well there it is, my own ambition's laying on the floor. Always feeling like there's something. Leaving me wanting more. . Is it plain enough to see?.
