i really could have been someone
but I got caught up in disasters and
calamity that carved me down into a new creature
and i dwelled the dark cities
hunting for fantasy
where I am not tied down
by this bloodstream
in me
cold conversations and a mental wildfire
thats spread for years and miles
and I'm burning to believe that things will work out for me
but I'm counting my fears… to infinity
i miss mornings we spent painting.
pictures of singing birds
and light that takes us. if i'm not mistaken.
you never though I'd create change when I
sang series of errors
in antithesis
and as for me. the mistake was when I'd leave
disregarding every part of me still worth saving
not realizing I could wake up to the sun
and a yearning to sing on, if i just let it in
but I'm afraid of that progress
it's so easy to be hard to work with
when its been hard to sing anything
the way things have ended convinced me
to expect that more is coming.
and the mystery. of everything. is all figured out.
time to be sentenced
i let this happen. i saw myself get sick.
and this is what I have to do
I'll make the call
i'll succumb to strangers telling me I have it all wrong
and to alter how I see
"what do you want to take from all this when you leave?" well…
i want to wake only happy
i want to sigh only relief
i want to feel only carefree
i want to feel like i love me
i want to fall asleep with ease
i want to shake anxiety
but i know its not easy (it's not easy)

pouring rain / heaven sent
a field of flowers in my head
they all decay when seasons change
another winter on its way
and i've learned to live in this state
where the only thing thats constant
is that black cloud over my head every day
descending on a wire
they said its just my chemicals off time
do you feel that way too?
do you get scared sometimes
and don't know why?
i get so low i
sink between the floorboards
dive into the dirt
let the burdens bury me
through an endless earth
different. sadness. time spent.
trying to challenge it
but its the same every sunset
and they're never coming back
to where the panic is
and I've been carrying
all this under my skin
i've tried to let it out but its always tightening
i keep clenching my fists
as winter becomes spring
the ice cracks under my feet and i let myself fall in
i'm drowning in
a stream of consciousness
there. is. a cause to all effects
but i've lost count of all the ways i'm failing
heaven sent / life ashamed
i think about it endlessly
forever means nothing to me
