A spring bloom
Out of focus
a single dead branch the focal
Through the forest
I can't pickup
Shattered direction I'm repeating myself
Changing season
I feel it coming
the white noise drowns out the sound
Till it's too close
and I can't save myself in time
My whole precense always missing
Here it is in the palm of my hand
A clenched fist cannot hold it
self pity to loathe tomorrow
It's with me, I can feel it
I hear it whisper in the next room
It says in a faint voice
"I've been waiting for you"

This city's got a way to make you feel alone
Like the runt of the litter trying to find a friend
Through all my woe I keep telling myself
Not everyone's a foe
Sometimes you're not alone
And it feels like a ghost

Hear Our Prayer

Lord of all, Lord of all
Peering through the front window, Lord of all
Lord of all, Take my call
They embrace, I'm forgotten
Lord of all
What of man, mortal man
Powerless, full of flaws
What of man
What of man, mortal man
Looking up, where are you lord?
What of man
She throws the glass on the floor
She asks what is it all for
I have no answers so I lie
She turns her head and starts to cry
In this bed
Hear our prayer
No peace of mind
No piece left of my mind

I don't care anymore
I sink into the floor
I'm frozen in place
I'm a fucking disgrace
Picture this in 5 years
Does it even come near
what you want by your side
All good things must die, in time
It will end
I sink into the floor
I'm begging for more
You're backing away
I beg you to stay
I'm a mess of a man
My face in my hands
You can barely look at me
Put me out of my misery

Whenever I'm alone
I am different, I am restless
Pacing in the hall thinking when this dread will end
Disappearing bliss like breath in the cold
I think - for some it ends when the gravel meets the brush if you're fortunate enough
Procession brings them all to a grave
Falling flowers hit the door like rain
Black clothes upon grey skies
My life flashed before my eyes
The way home lights up like morning rise
I'd give anything to hold you
Cause i'm still here
at times wishing i wasn't
But i know you'll be waiting
There's no hurry
And I don't want to go home right now

Birds fly in murmuration
This house is different but familiar
Paralyzed with condition
There will be some kind of lesson
A place long forgotten, now impeding
Scratch my eyes out
I try
Walls black
Climb Hills
No sound at all
I'm low like dirt
Fall down
I can't use my limbs
I can't take my time
It passed before you know
I grab the reigns
The clouds part
and just when I think i'm ahead
the floor drops out
and I break my neck

Sitting in the dark
my eyes adjust
to what I now know
A willing volunteer
Every flash of light
headlights across the wall
passing cars go by
in soot I lie
Ground shakes
Sad sight
Tear in the fray
Hesitant, I pray
Take me out this room
Send me on my way
Closer to understanding myself
Hall light through the door frame
Further from making it all make sense
When does it ever show?
I take a second look outside to see anything
I hope for a sign for me to subdue my brain
You get what you give
and i'm not giving much lately
What the hell has it come to (why)
the dawn bringing yearning has been replaced with indifference
what the hell has it come to
when our fire has been stamped out

Black out forever
slip into nothing
come to never
abet my burial
burden those around me
fewer by the day
sick and tired I cant remember giving up control
Let go
Leave me to wither
Staring at the wall
Naked, I shiver
waves now 10 feet tall
Will I ever learn my lesson
Will I ever keep myself in check
I say this life is worth living
It's off my chest
I'm swimming
to the surface
I'm waking up

shining, wishing
I can feel
for a moment then gone tomorrow
my hope, a draining gutter
the clouds are parting though I pray for rain
keep me labored
don't let up
my eyes fixate on the rising flood
all ships, they rise
in the end i'm fucking fine
I wake up drenched in sweat
morning always comes
ignore, fixate
Circle becomes straight
you close, embrace
I am my own fate
The gate is unmanned
I walk through
I look back at the unsuspecting
This life is not a tomb
