i guess it's a paradox a question that can't be answered do i not see my reflection because the mirror's broken or did i break it because i couldn't see myself anymore? are my cut-up fists a karmic response? i think i wished this bad luck upon myself it's all coming right back to me now there's no one to blame but myself so it's me who's at fault for every misfortune i keep on my shoulder like a badge of honor, one for every day this week as if it was something to be proud of, as if i'd even overcome any trial or tribulation i'd fucking put myself through and if you look closely you will watch me shatter, oh you've seen the spiderweb cracks running through me these last few years like expectations yours and mine shards will fall beneath your feet a puzzle you might recognize if you could put back the pieces even worse than the self inflicted wounds i'm as sorry as i can be because the gashes in your skin i'd try to nurse are remnants of me you've been on the receiving end of the debris between you and me and love i'm afraid when it happens the sharp edges will hit a vein but when i hit the ground there will be a beautiful sound and all that's left is to pick up the pieces

that little boy sat on the shore cast his rod into the water his old man over his shoulder kept him steady his entire life but the shore passes blind judgement and yet it asks for blind faith whether or not you hear the waves coming whether or not you heed their call we all go under some day. the tide will take us all i spent too many days on this ocean to watch another, another good man drown leave another little boy ashore so helpless, we sit and wait for the day we cry, this has to be a mistake this isn't fair, no but i watched his boy grow into a man someone i'm proud to know and call my friend who could have let this happen? how could you let this happen? nobody can change the tide

Another shot, another miss I’m longing to find happiness is more than ignorant bliss If this is true, then I’m content in giving life one final, goodnight kiss But, by discourse and perfect diction, satisfaction— Well, that’s content’s definition Yet, who’s more enlightened; the clouds or the earth Should I invest my love in the sky or the dirt? Afraid of the breeze that we don’t see Yeah, that’s just fidelity Well, I cleared dust, debris off of me and I found beauty in the tragedy I lost myself in a chemical stagger The foul practice turned itself on me I’m confronting the edge of ice and darkness To free the left of my chest Let my love breathe The actors may have everything now, but it’s still the authors with a thorn in our side But, by discourse and perfect diction, satisfaction— Well, that’s content’s definition

A prophet of urban decay and alienation We'll toast to the starts; contrived disintegration To stay inspired off of isolation A star is bored, and hey, that's my situation If history is a wheel, then we've broken the spokes Yeah, piety ain't real Our fathers' dreams were a hoax If the past is the past, I will no longer fear it But there's a strain in my voice, and oh God I hear it This forced yelling has taken its course I've softened the noise, but my voice is still hoarse The best are best at letting go Does your hand struggle to drop the rope? Are you Deborah? Are you Annik? I'm hanging our love To you from me I fought what I feel, waver on spirit If the past is the past, I will no longer fear it This forced yelling has taken it's course I've softened the noise, but my voice is still hoarse The best are best at letting go Does your hand struggle to drop the rope? I used to drink blood, but now I leak I'm carving our love onto every last tree Amo Te
