It All Ends
It all ends once I find you.
The insanity that I live through as a result of obsessions every day will hush itself. My own voice in my head that longs for this will be quenched. The nonsense that I've come to laugh at because that's the only way to deal with what will not cease to plague me will vanish.
It all ends once I meet you.
That which cannot be recreated will finally be felt so naturally. The feeling that is unobtainable through even the most potent of chemicals will tingle through me once again. There will be no more chasing "the next best thing" which is still such...

Distancing, Goodbyes
Those waves that overtook me just aren't what they used to be
Feels like a best friend has begun to turn his back to me
At first I curse everything, I curse at myself for praying for an escape
Who would have known that prays might actually work
Even after years of saying them and seeing no result
What type of nervousness for ones life does it take
To continue to say those words, hoping that "faith" in itself would make them true
Such conflictions that one lives
conflictions that just might end for anyone who keeps fighting them
I am not allowed...

Those Days
I keep dreaming of people I no longer talk to
These tough parts of life I wish I had a walkthrough
How to deal with self doubt and lack of motivation
This won't be the first time I've slept at the station
So I'm asking myself why the hell do I do it
Lately Me and Success just don't seem congruent
But I'm hoping tonight the temperature rises
So that a frostbitten anthem includes no suprises
I'll keep thinking out loud in rhymes and mathematic structure
Some might call it sublime but I've had quite enough sir
So next time I pray I'll say take me away...

Fuel Me
Thank you for fueling me
your eyes your smile could almost set me free
I saw as you were walking past
that glance towards me inside I smiled back
But on the outside I was afraid
What could I do what should I say
Your hair was perfectly flowing
hands looked so soft
I imagined holding both
I imagined we had talked
Then suddenly I noticed I was writing once again
My hands furiously releasing that which had built up within
This is beauty yet it's deadly I admitted to myself
To use your own curse as a tool it may be fatal or could help
I...

See Past the Disguise
How many of them come and go so many that I’d love to know
Each remembered by a unique face yet soon they fade and new replace
There were moments when I was convinced this was the one for me
But was there something more that I could not see
For I’ve felt this feeling a hundred times, and each of them inspired a thousand rhymes
And taken those rhymes paired together knowing that words at least can last forever
Then rereading them I wonder why each one had the same effect on me
Always inspiring some sort of poetry, as if each one that I thought to be unique
Was...

AMERICA
I’m trapped within a bottle
They’ve sealed the cap with lies
The label looks so pretty
Such a misleading disguise
Many sought to join me and float around so free
Thinking they’d be better off in this glass society
Now we’re drowning at the bottom as the wicked float atop
And we’re only sinking deeper, wishing it would stop
Sometimes the hand will shake us, manipulate our place
But soon again we settle, still contained in such disgrace
I often sit and wonder what would our manufacturers say
They promised certain standards, but it seems they’ve gone...

Doubts in the Field
A memory I’d like to erase
That smile she put on my face
I could not seem to get one back
A failed magician’s mirror act
Our eyes met as she stood behind the counter
Now it was Beauty vs. The Doubter
I’d planned out tactics the night before
A pep talk arsenal was my gear for war
But her beauty tore right through my vest
Defenseless now, pains in my chest
Not from my heart which I patched on my sleeve
But from the fear deep inside which I could not relieve
No doses of medication
No amount of meditation
No attempt to awaken...
That smile she put on my face
I could not seem to get one back
A failed magician’s mirror act
Our eyes met as she stood behind the counter
Now it was Beauty vs. The Doubter

A pep talk arsenal was my gear for war
But her beauty tore right through my vest
Defenseless now, pains in my chest
Not from my heart which I patched on my sleeve

Traveling the World
I was up there for awhile, it felt like forever but feelings were askew
The lights kept distracting me
And the music
And the world
Driving along the highway with no passenger
No one there to weigh me down; I ascended with ease
In the night I had become a tightrope walker
Balancing those lines atop a ragged wallet
It had been part of my act before
I moved slowly, each step must be perfectly timed
The audience would have loved me as I lept
Reaching the end of the line I felt such joy
I'd made it happen once again
Numb now from...

Ambition to Self
Figure out what your struggle is then embrace it
nobody here to help you just gotta roll it up and face it
get so blown out your mind trying to avoid what's real
spent your last dollars on an alternative feel
but me I alternate wheels making moves from back to the front
never thought you'd find yourself alone chasing the hunt
but that's life just a constant misinterpretation
don't like what they're playing man create your own station
never need to question what's right and what's wrong
you were born with a genetic code that's all you need to move on...

Mail Me To The Ocean
I'm writing this for no one as I hope no one will see
Who better understands the joy of anonymity
Never to be bothered, a solitude so grand
Feeling only coldness as I direct a dying hand
Silent as a forest screams a stranded tear of joy
Motionless I speed away from innocent young boy
Devour me then, father time; soak me in your wrap
For at your door I pay a toll I fear to ne'er get back
Skin once soft is crumbled veil, defining deeper wear
For inside-out now flows my doubt such as each decaying hair
Seldom days will pass in which I question...
Who better understands the joy of anonymity
Never to be bothered, a solitude so grand
Feeling only coldness as I direct a dying hand
Silent as a forest screams a stranded tear of joy
