When your life flashes before your eyes
A flash is all that it will be.
The only true colors are shades of grey
And not to be mistaken for the ones that greet us on the other side when they never knew a goddamn thing of what is real.

A True Facade

we're moths to a dead flame
like infants crawling their way into a mother's broken heart.
but despite all the tragedy around me im crawling into bed with you tonight.
forget the ones that you sang into bed.
they'll never live up to what you saw in them.
this is who they are and this who they'll be.
a hope that died at birth along with dignity.
we're all fucking trash.
you can't unmask a true facade.

well so much for faith in your conscience
one expectation shattered is one million regrets up front.
i've tried to hate as much as i should
tried to love as much as i deserve
tried to sound like the fuck up i am
but this heart is stronger than i ever imagined.
one day i'll push up daisies for you.
because you'll be too busy fucking your way to hell.
and i'll keep my composure clear and strong
to make it seem like the most distant star in the sky.

i've been fighting a losing battle ever since we triumphed.
my hands reach for the ceiling hoping one day
to grab onto something worth holding onto.
my mind is so clear in the space between my fingers.
i wish i could fill it with the answers you've been looking for.
a piece of sentiment for someone with a soft smile.
i've watched us grow apart from tight knit brothers
to complete strangers.
so much for your questions unanswered
so much for your quest to bring change
so much for your simple life
so much for you passing the torch
what has become of us?

you say God is in my heart and i have never doubted your words. But if He is everywhere at any given time then why the fuck am i committing such a social crime? Shoes i could never fill even if i ran to the ends of the earth and back. And i have yet to feel the warmth and sense of belonging from your house. I think i'll stick to my own way for now. Don't write us off yet. We're the ones who saved ourselves and we've all made peace with ourselves. What the fuck have we accomplished that we can utter such harsh judgments? I will look up into my future and my children will learn from our mistakes. And the children will learn from our mistakes.

Nightlife

the final setting for the sun makes up for my hands becoming numb from the exasperating task of holding your hand. Make me forget what makes me dead. Carry me up to a quiet hill and remind me why you love me so. Family and friends are withering to make you grow. Their tears are what makes you grow. I'm just the pit of despair you've taken root in. It's not so you can sleep at night but an honest way to live my life.

flush out every single one of these pretenders. Squeeze the life out of their putrid throats. They'll never blind another man's eyes. No remorse. No regrets. No faith in their own hearts. A truly sad sight to watch. But there's a smile on my face even she can't erase. A shake in my fist that i can never tame. A beat from my heart that i could never skip. A love from the sight of faith in my eyes and respect for the ones that will die by my side. So take the pretenders and show them how it's done. Show them the passion only you and i know. What do you know of this place? What do you know of our ways? This is the top of everest for me. I am untouchable here.

i never thought i'd be the one left in the dark. Dreaming big and laughing hard until we can't even crack a smirk. That's what every fist to the sky is for. That's what kept me from stepping through the door into a life that is swarming with regrets and neglect. If it's too late for me then i will keep this door shut for the ones who feel like fast forwarding to the moment they realize their place in this world. But we have no place. We have no limits. But we became the i, and i became the weak. Now justifying the means is the only thing worth singing for until i rise from this ditch and i beat myself into.

i've always been one for keeping the peace but what do you do when the peace is killing more than this war ever could. Ignoring the truth is the forte of the masses. Everything that has ever mattered has flown right out the fucking window. Pick yourself up and step into the future. The consequence of opposing the lowest lows of the high life. Simplicity for the naive. In living for love you'll die alone.

The Last of Them

there's a place i can take you to where everything said is the honest to God truth about my thoughts on me, my thoughts on you, and how everything else is exactly what it is. Just between. If home is where the heart is then home is wherever you are. The brokenhearted are the walking dead and sometimes i feel like the leader of the pack.

you're more fragile than a feather picked off the bird. You have so much to say to everyone and yet everyone around you is singing to a single somber tune. Wasting your breath for your own benefit, when there's a world of problems that yearns for blind faith. Nothing is ever free. Especially a free country. For someone who can't stand this soil you abuse its gimmicks like no other. Everyday a new chapter to write for that long sleeve you throw your heart on. Selling yourself short has never come so easy. If true love has been in my orbit then please make a fucking landing already so i can give it all away to someone who lives with the memories of a real smile. I can make it real. I can make it last, and i can make you feel like the past will be just that. Pummeling innocence straight into the ground. So horrific that i dare not make a sound. Just turn around and stare straight into the sky and hope that better days will look us straight in the eyes. I won't become a victim of the cause. And if not for the sake of doing what's right, end it so she can sleep easy tonight, and fill her broken heart with love again. I swear to fucking God i'll fight this shit till the end. This is where we were meant to stand. In between the ghost of our brothers, and the monsters they've become.
