Fuel

Every solid mountain is really liquid fuel to burn.
Every feeling and state is a cog in the wheel that turns.
Nothing’s objective or forever,
It’s only fuel to move ahead.
You think a game is dying, but you don’t know;
Out of nowhere it can resurrect.

I need you
To be
My agony
So that I don’t run out of fuel.
I need the torment of incompletion
’Cause it propels me out of apathy.
And rest
Is for
The dead and I’m here to feel as alive as I can.
I’m adding years onto my life,
Incurring karma on my back.
It’s never over ’til I’m dead
And we’re never… at the end.

I need you to be unreachable
So that I can learn to bend
Any way my whims desire,
And play with my inhibitions ’til they’re shreds.
And you
Keep this reaction
Going on inside.
And I don’t know
How it’s for you –
But I’m throwing wood into the fire.

Everything inside the past don’t matter.
Convictions are so strong so they can shatter,
And perspective made to change,
Every moment rearrange,
You’re on the sea,
You’re in the air,
You are so free
With no ground beneath.

I will get used to this being my way:
Eternal instability.
’Cause peace too easily
Turns into apathy,
And apathy’s a death you can’t escape.

Everything could be a joke;
Blue could turn into yellow
And I could hear a million words
Inside your simple “hello”.
And I’ll love it
And play
And you will play along
As I write the song
With the movement of my form.

There is no truth to defend,
Only the answer for the moment,
The next move to make
For the game’s sake.

I’m no one, I am just pretending,
My permanence is ever pending,
Forever on the ledge
Between absurdity and seriousness
And if you ask which it
Is even I don’t know.
All I know is that we’re always burning fuel.
