a long life, a good life

before they ever called me out
there was tones of doubt within myself
i had a plan
it was shot down
and spiraling out of control
i had a thought
its not so bad
i don’t even need anyones
help
i will do this all and for myself
before you even catch your breathe
your sad and i wish i could fix it all for you
but i cant do anything like that
i can only offer my hand to hold but you’ll pull through
on your own
i do my best to
make your life a little better
but theres only so much
that i can do
you really need to think this through

I don’t need you
so what do you need from me?
you have nothing to offer me
vice versa
this causes
words to snap in time with doubt
I had a job
and I did it well
tracing the fragments
of my thought
crossing between
intricate self doubt
spilling your heart
and letting it bleed out
remnants of your own self

it follows me around
03:16
|

theres something in my way
brick wall doused in concrete
theres something in my path
sharp glass to cut my feet on
it follows me around
silent dust falls on the ground
theres something I have found
you cant get past what you make
no matter if its sound
theres ways to get around it all
close your eyes and pull yourself together
it follows me around
silent dust settles on the ground

a solid plane
vast and dark
stretches out
taking us into
something i don’t
i don’t believe in
which way is out
its all grown so
so distant
i don’t want to
ever come out
I’ve found a home now
maybe its just
the way i think
its not so distant
why would i care?
i don’t think i
have feelings anymore
just movements
in the night
that eat up the sleep
that i don’t care about
you ought to take care of yourself

other characters come on to the scene
something runs among them, an exchange
they imagine
hundreds of things about one another
of glances like lines
that connect one figure.
until all combinations used up in a moment
meetings which could take place
they imagine
hundreds of things about one another
of glances like lines
are all but strangers.
At each encounter
conversations
with no one

you were only doing
what you had to do
only in time do you realize
its been seen through
engulfed in light
and sinking slowly
still you never stop them
still you never stop us
holding on to what
you’ve thrown out is tough
burn down anything in our way
we tried to do what we need to
i dont believe in it
its got so dark outside
i try i try i try
and i’ll live
you were only doing
what you felt you needed to
living and dying by the book i told you
this wasn’t the best idea that we’ve had
but we don’t need to talk
we don’t need to talk about that
the fates we’ve given ourselves

I have already lost it
little by little
everything conceals something else
never finished saying what you have to say
dreams are made of desires and fears
defining by tracing its confines
taking shortcuts
swells and sharp in-takes of breath
cloud invades the continents
|

these are challenges
03:29
|

you can only do
what you came here for
yet I don’t know what that is
bitterness is burned
into a way of thinking
colder than the winters grip
losing traction
and fragile stability
you don’t even have a chance
never any luck
here
swallowing your thoughts
plant it in the dirt now
watch it grow
its something to believe in
when its all desolate
outside
|

my eyes
are windows
sleeping so soundly
I won’t wait for the daylight
striking the seas down
we’ll walk about
legs give out
mouths drain out
the words you talked about
trusting in nothing and nothing you said
"lasts a life time"
striking the seas down
we’ll walk about
ocean floor
breathes in salt
spits it out
fragments of thought
breaking like waves in my head
crushing the ocean
the sea is let in
to wash out
the walk about
|

heads for home
03:10

burning in the sunlight
they step inside to take
the weights off of their
shoulders and ankles
this pressure is crushing
and thats not any good
they thought it may be closer
but things always seem far off
when you cant walk
you may want to step inside
if i never see this place again
will it look the same?
and all my time
has flown out of the window
i have grown old
and fingers become brittle
if i never see this place again
will it look the same?

I remember
when the snow came down
heavy under street lights
we all reached out
to grab on tight
to a future distant
drifting, you’re gone
I’m sorry I didn’t help
why
do you fall down
out and out and out of reach
perhaps
this is my fault
I’m out and out and out of reach again
I remember
when the cold reached in
heavy under street lights
don’t forget why you
begin to speak out of turn
its fine, communicate
breathe in and forget
you were never cut out for this
|

not much has changed
03:12
|

its something to know
you did what you had to do
against the grain and burned off
particles of sound in tune
its something to
break into bits and pieces
as you walk with each step
cracks in the earth
break open and you fall in
seemingly life’s out to get those
who don’t fit in
