Collide-A-Scope

Awaken, hands shaking, I met the ground as my knees gave way, it rips apart, all mistakes.
Like gravity, desperately holding, the pieces take, lay like a mask on my face
A walk so long, a walk so long beneath my feet, so easy not to speak.
For now, I’ll see a world lensed through scattered rays,
where all the color seems to fade.
Like gravity, the chains of molten holding me in place.
I can’t forget, I can’t replace.
It's you its me, it's all I see, like staring at, the sun
My fingers run, I feel them holding up my face
A shattered stun, glass plastic scattered at the base
I’ll shake it up, I’ll spin until it takes a shape
I’ll fold it up, into collide-a-scope (it will collide)
I know, I’ll row a boat into an endless sea, sounds like the perfect place to be.
Embrace the impact, feel the stun.
It doesn't seem to matter if I breath, if I’m slowly drowning.
I see with glass in my eyes, I feel blind.
I’ll take it all in stride, I think I’m done..

Move Like A Ghost

I've got this box of matches, hesitation, on the stripe.
Got this book of paper, written word, under knife.
Need space for memories, I don’t deserve, apologies.
I throw my heart on the pavement, the rain, astonished, laments it gently.
You take what you will from me, push/pull!
You ran down my cheek
at least several hundred times.
You rolled with the moon
and then we said a long goodbye.
I froze like a stone.
I felt you slip right through my hand.
You moved like a ghost
I watch you disappear again again again..
I got a mirror concave, it only shows me, what's inside.
Small ships in the bottles, the wreckage, dichotomies and "I Me Mine's"
I use to eat it up, but now I see, I was never enough. We are organic, and distinctly, alive.
Take what you will from me, push/pull!
Ive got this box of matches, hesitation, on the stripe
I throw my heart on the pavement, the rain, astonished, laments it gently.
Say what you will, to me.
You were gone, you were gone, and I can’t afford to fall that low again.

Bloom
03:40

I lay up late at night, wait for the dust to settle down.
Watching it coat the breeze like a fresh snow fall gleans every inch of ground.
Don't want to be another witness
like the fly on the wall, like i'm 6ft tall, like i’m above it all,
I'm not above it all.
At the fall when my neck dips back, will I see new angles come to view?
Rather feel relief, rather watch it bloom!
Wanna feel the sun burn up my skin.
Wanna see the sky, glaze through my eyes.
Wanna see the waves, a soft new day, a prism utilized.
In the moments, i feel strangest, just waiting for my head to settle down.
Cast confusion, fully deafen, echoes become the sound. they spin around.
When I extend my hand, there's nothing there, just silence to consume.
Rather feel relief, rather watch it bloom!
I lay up late at night, wait for the dust to settle down.
The first time in many moons that my head feels like its in the room.
Maybe I'm connected to myself.
Maybe I'm connected to, the growth that grounds, the taking of the roots.
I can feel it bloom!

Invacuo

Rushing into my past, try my best to meet it, to shake it.
Spin it round and round in turn to find, pinpoint.
Separate into fractions, lay it down beneath.
I line it up like the plot arose, I see the bloom as the story goes,
I let my mind slip into the sea.
When I felt hope.
When I found love.
When I finally felt the tissue beating down beneath my bones.
(This is it) It’s enough, I am enough.
I convince myself of almost any(thing)
In the vacuum, silence yet, still I breathe.
Grasping at the words that seem to flee.
I’m waking up as the sun explodes,
I’m melting through the freezing cold.
I let my mind slip into the sea..
I weave my way through tranquility, can you see?
I can feel myself move on and on…to every(thing).
I can be myself, with room to breathe.
A thought obscured, twisted in reverse.
Sweat's beading, aching skin.
When I felt hope, when I found love.
When I felt the tissue break, beneath my bones..
