After an astonishing amount of worn down clocks I can feel the heart of the earth sinking Pushed out far beyond my sight The lights in town waver Those street lights Miles beyond what i've ever understood Are swallowed up They disappear Those lights, they flicker like memories of something completely different Planted by careless hands They have been withered away with the yearning to grow up Wanting to model the height of the great pines We mimic the actions of adults This clear dry ocean above my head It floods wildly into the valley of my mind Searching for the stars in between the black keys A song modest enough to be precious appears And sings the song of a future crazy enough to fall in love with me And my hands will pull back, claiming the sounds i have made are enough Just for the sake of not being embarrassed And i wanted this all Granted Ahh The town is silently recalled through our minds while a single foot runs about Afraid of the lonely night, i ask myself if it is i Ahh the light striking my eye through the window, i ask myself if it means to enlighten or blind Mistaking it for something,i watched another leap out their second floors to chase it Even though we all pretended that it existed If we always thought like that, things wouldn't change for eternity Safty Without vowing to it, i had already submitted my faith Washing away any ideas of ice cream or innocence and its faults If you can find humor in this, i suggest it But i will flow again Tilting my head up At the dark oceans swallowing up any light that leaks in I am alone Wishing Pleasing Begging The breath in me howls like a storm through a canyon In this town, where all light is a myth To keep my heart To keep my machine To keep my death From breaking I inbred deep into my dreams Finally being shined down on, i leaked The light resting so fragile upon me, i held softly to keep it intact I gently felt its small heart Beating violently My eyes open, and i see my hands choking all that i had sought to find In a town where the light has vanished I find myself as the murder To keep my heart To keep my machine To keep my death I had played only the best parts of the victim and attacker Ikari Ikari Ikari Finally, at long last, after so long, the world swallows itself once again The night Ends When the sun begins to rise I am all alone When the sun comes round I began to shine When the sun says hello The bells began to chime At night's end an uninspiring future chases itself again

In that seasonal heat, I imagined how comfortable six feet under was I mouthed those words, but I never wanted to speak them I held softly that idea Till I found what was outshining the horizon All of our reasons, different but exactly the same I wish courage grew from my head, turned grey, and wilted And people fell in love on high rises, and float down in a similar way “Pondering leads to drowning” the same song written by thousands That train has already left A fruitless endeavor, is the reason I breathe i The spectrum of my world, painstakingly portraying my portrait Bewildered A hidden place, deep inside of my ribs Old calendars, with dates of precious growing pains circled The sky will soon come flooding down onto us What a way to set the stage, for we odd performers Scratches dancing on our skin, in the hopes to strengthen Recreating ideas of the final scene nightly I dream of you loafing about in the deepest thoughts of mine “To look back is to kick the chair” yes, that's how the outro goes I've been walking down those tracks for a while, what if i choose the wrong way What do i do Uncertain The morals of loved ones holding me down by the wrist Cowar An island in a crowd, so far away The silence that I used to see through Is unexpectedly screaming How did this slip between my digits I Was to late My Intimate ideas, shared via the air we breathe Pain Goodbyes echoing around my head Final I'm going to find that fish in the sky, and it will take me so high that I won't hear those morning for me I will move on to the applause

as it revealed itself to you yet I've found train tracks that cascade In the direction i've always talked about I'll be the one who leaves this time Of course The concept had already graced me I am still the same chores Ill turn my heels to the sunset,hopefully In a year that's not on my calendar My friend, what's slid between your digits is The obscurity of your mind, perverted by pain Of course, this truth, makes you flee again Currently, i had a grin I let my lungs fuel a rotting brain And i exhaled And that was simply it (we) If i could translate every exhale of a person's life into paragraphs (wed imagine ourselves) Id imagine myself skipping on the tongues of everyone for eternity As if becoming the language you inherit (we) If i do ever start skipping down those tracks Regardless if we share common tongue (a truth) Here's this poem to mend both of us So that you may learn to grin

I have been a shack on fire amongst mansions in atlantis I don't let my flames lick my neighbors, I will rejoice in silence This mania is the myriad becoming what you are To avoid what they aren't Thinking much less sketchy, more like humble masterpieces The inner meaning,already has it shed its secrets to me This ending was just the beginning in disguise This mania is the myriad No need to lie, dream during the day To avoid what they aren't I can only grip onto the crevices that hold me up, the ledge eludes me That recurring heart rate, impaling The static and the blindfold Every path is purposeless, everything is perfect

My heart rate Static remaining the same since birth This is in fact the first time That it has ever spiked Because my digits have the elasticity to curl My stilts taxie me on this earth Because my ears have only heard my tune My lungs yearn to breathe in sche “Excuse me mother but i have found the minnow amongst the sharks” And she claps mechanically “Congratulations” I dream of you when i'm awake Whose breast have we been monopolizing all this time And was i the one to leave all these sores This language we inherit Do we truly understand it Father Mother Nina “Child,you've done so well!” “Ahh, well i'll be going then” No This taste is foul My hands cupped to fish you out The digits repurposed to adore you These shovels grown from me Reached out to hurt you This language i studied intensely for Only gives me more ways to dissect you Chipping away at your life Well Darling Before you push into my hand me down wound any further Let me inflate your lungs one last time This important but thoughtless act Allowing us to live off of each other's recycled air All our words They melt into each other's saliva Hey Right now Take one last deep breath and Vacuum out all the air in the world “I love yous” have become unnecessary After all we have become each other's oxygen tank No need for muttering Your last breath is also mine

lyrics
Someday I will have heat radiating in my head And the crease of your silhouette will conjure you at night Or rather, a Warsaw My lungs crumpled Slowly decomposing in your thoughts Defeat, erosion, apathy, turmoil, hurt Slowly releasing, as transparent as that On one of the days of the myriad, I will open up my roots, but only a bit This sweet nectar, trickling life Someday, it will fill this empty flask Hopefully, i'll be hollow, amble Hollow, amble Careening, sleeping in and out, mending myself in slumber People are so untroubled Animation is far too bright, to brilliant It recalls another day Un tethered from me, you disappeared into the landscape Slowly forgetting myself I can feel the phantom of your digits We are going to drink that life leaking from your wrist Escaping into a sweet, lovely world This time, together “Your life is in my lungs, embody my spirit” I falter on the floor, your hands on mine I'm sleeping gently, inside of this thought If you cremated yourself in this earth Flowers would bloom with your bones If you could have ripped out every page but the last Would you still treasure each paper cut If you turned into a rainbow and it flooded Could I still trust in your God^s^ If that ocean above us crashed down on my head Would you be okay if I invited water into my lungs
