Honesty

I was torn into a fragment of what I wanted to be
It’s hard to imagine that I let these things drift
I lied and betrayed myself with each gasping breath
That comfort was poison. It hindered all of this
I was sick, there was a fever running,
Constantly bed ridden with solemn melancholy
I was drowning deeper and deeper
There was nothing to elevate anybody
What do you do when your faith becomes undone
How do you break routine, mundane, worthless tasks
I was stuck in a place where no windows opened
Heard a story of a shack and a forest that I cannot see
I was sick, there was a fever running,
Constantly bed ridden with solemn melancholy
I was drowning deeper and deeper
There was nothing to elevate anybody
Through a kaleidoscope these perspectives assume some form
And even if you lose that hope, don’t reason that it’s gone
I threw it all away
I said no, there can be no other way

I will admit that I was wrong
I can’t conscript myself no more
This is the place where your senses fall
Etching for freedom or put on hold
You try not to confront all those fears
They don’t just evaporate or disappear
There’s no certainty from here
Looking for guidance it’s lacking from me
Hear me, my friend
This flood will not retreat
And I cannot depend
On this endless path
It keeps bending now
You just start again, you start again
Sometimes the wrong choices are right
Formulates perspectives for these new insights
I kept straying from the facts
I kept denying everything
I don’t think you have to conform
To any expectations not written in law
Just be who you need to be
Just don’t regret yourself at all
Hear me, my friend
This flood will not retreat
And I cannot depend
Take, my hand
Take me to that distant thought
And let us melt away
Fate is in the palm of your hands
Will you wash them now
Or
Make this your last defence
To change your world
Oh

As these divisions form you rest your head against the world
And I remember all the simple things
On the hill stood a wall, stood a door into a different place
All you had to do was sever all broken ties
Why’s it so hard for you to comprehend who you can be
All it takes is a moment
I’ll ride this tide, this change, drift along these waves
All the way back to an unknown destination yeah
There’s a dark room in your soul you wish you could erase
These chains are hurting
There’s the edge of the mountain, the forbidden place
The river flows and there’s just empty space
Imaginary people float around your head, it’s so surreal
Answers drift in the cold
I’ll bide my time, take my leave, take it swiftly
Staring in the mirror, the reflection disagrees
There’s a thousand years between us
But I don’t care
You’re not the only one
Who understands
That I am moving
Through a maze that won’t make sense
When you’re helpless
Don’t underestimate the pains you have to take
And all these questions
That I cannot decide, when solved just lead to lies
Makes you wonder,
If there is anything, that’s even close to real

Disillusions

If you live your life conceited
Would you let go
Would you control those timeless thoughts
And I will not believe in
Relentlessly deceiving
All that I have worked so hard for
And I call feel your presence
Haunting all the moments
Makes me feel like I am whole
And then I can remember
The truth is somewhat different
It’s nothing like I ever wished for
But no,
There’s such a long way, such a landscape
To discern
Don’t you want to find out, search, fly, just know
I watched everything tear apart
I felt those scars form inside your head
If you compromise you can’t reconcile all those things
Darkness consumes everything as you stand alone
And I cannot pretend
Like everything just ends
As the night comes crashing down on us all
And with every why
Comes a corresponding how
Maybe we should just leave it all
Like we always promised
Like we always did
Obscure turns of the clock won’t make this disappear
Go across this bridge
The sun is over there
This paradox I can’t quite comprehend
But go
And climb the stairs to a place that’s
Unknown
All these scattered pieces, fragments of a life once wrote
I watched everything tear apart
I felt those scars form inside your head
If you compromise you can’t reconcile all those things
Darkness consumes everything as you stand alone
Day after day you wash it away
And the stains remain, engraved against the walls
Only circumstance defines set lines
Memories slip and slide as meaning falls

Gone

Wait, I tried my best to say it
Now you’re turning away
It’s too late
Pay the price you’ve taken, now you’re trying to escape
Years unfolding, and slipping away
I take the time to reflect each and every day
The reason that I’m dreaming is that I don’t wanna stay
I’d rather be trapped than locked in this place
Taking your last breath I lay and watched
Struggling to survive I’ve had enough
The damage was done before too long
Fighting hard as I lost a part of myself
Now, I’m starting to figure out
What it means to be left alone
I’ll try
See the path that’s broken, to see the truth in your eyes
Autumn leaves are, staining that very place
The crowd outspoken, couldn’t believe their face
You watched on, didn’t give up the race
As I lay down, and find some peace
Taking your last breath I lay and watched
Struggling to survive I’ve had enough
The damage was done before too long
Fighting hard as I lost a part of myself
And even when I find you,
Away from here
The moment never rises
Just suddenly appears
But nothing ever changes
I keep realising these scenes
My memory’s blank and jaded
There was no stopping it
