I know

I know you’re bored of life
I know you’re tired of lying
The quick traverse of the rope
But you forgot to tie the line

Forget about dying

I think about you all the time

The cold felt you appear like a sun ray, but disappear just as I prayed

For once, you let me have my way
But looking back, the way was paved

And there were devils on the road
And there were demons in the den
They were always looking
They know all I’ve been

Sometimes I question things did
We’ve been depressed since we were kids

You’re hiding under pseudonym
You’re writing in acronym
Two plus two means words you spell
For me, “I’m always seeing him”

In clouds, en empty well
Lost footsteps in hell

Like during the blood moon
I’ll stop and bless a boon
Speak words with you
Where dreams feel true

But I am two-faced
Barefoot disgraced

I know I’ll find you on the dark path
And on the pages where I come last
But have a good laugh
(And no I won’t ask)

I’m mad
And in the madness, you found me dancing ballet atop the quicksand, asking when will it end?

“Do I know what I am doing here”
“Do you know why you are here”

Other dimensions have left shadows on my heart, in places even you wouldn’t embark

Like leaving footprints of destiny
You weren’t meant for me

You were like meeting light at the end of the tunnel
Tongue no longer verbal
Wanted in your circle
Knowing I am trouble

But you are fire and I’m a match
So open doors now have a latch
And you escaped down the hatch

We’re running from the past but the sign up ahead says we’re going too fast

All my nightmares are neatly tucked away under my bed
That’s where dreams go to die

If you look at the dust collecting, that’s my skin shedding
Cold nights sweating
Bloodletting

There I lay dead
And who I could have been
Is laying there like papers
Yet it is skin…

Dried up and thin

The worse part is I don’t listen to myself
Just like nobody else
I said halt not left

But John went crawling in a hole he knew he wouldn’t fit in at all

“The map is wrong”

The globe isn’t accurate
Your love I’m chasing after it
In the middle of midnight
There’s a tail light

So how scary was my fall?
My end; want to keep the secret from all

Cuz the dead don’t know they’re dying

Some happen quick
Don’t know what hit
Some oversaturated
With societal bullshit

I’m clearing out my life again
Got another big task ahead
You think Mount Everest is big
You ain’t been climbing in my head

Did you know sword cuts flame?
That I’ve gone insane?
Sometimes I cry
When I call your name?

My love comes and goes
It ebbs and it flows

Distance is time

The homeless are congregating in the city streets like the chosen fallen

They’re rabid with sin
Drooling from the dope within
And I gotta flee again
These feet are wearing thin
