breaking my back in silence
emotional breakdown
falling bricks
I’m at the edge dreaming fast past understanding the turn around
They tell it to their faces melting away with persistence
Glitter down
Glitter past emotion
Light prevails whispering secrets lost by betrayal
On top of the ocean when we fell down the escape magician
bending light against colors pushing value
Rising and falling
Fire touches the edge without resistance
(Laughing at tomorrow without a trace)
Pick pocket cold black detentions
Static mesmerizing light
Dusting off prints of temptation standing too tall
Teaching breath to breath fundamental
Breaking free of confusion hitting time with unobtainable control
Losing touch
Losing value
Losing lies
Losing in the rain where we catch the final train
Carry ahead to build this fire deeper and deeper
Chisels away hot and cold
Stare at heartbeat beating faster and faster
Impossible to regret
Impossible to lose
Impossible to break the whisper in the schoolyard
touch the visions of a spirit ahead of its time
Puncture the colors and break like falling bricks
A glimpse blue – damaged secrets trapped in voices coloring the sparks behind their dreams
Distracted and spinning
I heard you in memory lapse
I heard you in the oceans draining into lucidity
Peel away the edge of nights faulting sanity
“code them with stars”
weave the stars like every lost parallax
turn my secrets into the fight of my life
I hear you calling
every lost feeling of regret
I hear you catch up to this broken security
every face numbered by time
call out everyday of creation
I see you set them apart
words calling me from the distance
as we step away from this violence
turn every page to withstand the beauty in their eyes
is this the end in your hands?
spin through these photographs
hurry up to watch the distance
people ride across the sky through hospital wards
up & down we can choose our way out
with every glance & every footstep tomorrow comes alive
lost again in the dark
wake up to chain myself against the mirror
it’s not black & white
when they call out from this point of instability
It’s not black & white
when they call to withstand every insecurity
break the world into my heart
take the test to prove a fault for mankind
whisper through the dark
shattering the glass with the weight of a hundred men
run through the boulevards with a million red balloons
break the colors through your hands to break this puzzle apart
a second glance a second chance
code a million stars past every vision
code a million stars to hide the screams in the basement
code a million stars to build this peculiar determination
if we can withstand the days lost inside your head
I see the traces burn through the wind
every color preventing me from standing still
every voice burning from your hands
every sound spliced through your integrity
conversations overused locked inside my head
mark it all against the walls trespassed half-ingested
Did I lose it all to find you coded with stars?
photographs lost behind locker room doors
pages turn but they won’t listen
try to grasp control but I am falling
retreat into this world
where lies don’t stick to the wall
tune the radios where dreams can’t be discerned
into the depths fighting in the distance
analyze memories under broken microscopes
grasp the lenses past hidden instinct
weigh madness on uneven scales
half a reaction
half a burning dream
photographs lost behind locker room doors
if we find the key to stop it all
if we rinse away our tears
chain myself up inside this room
eyes that watch, but never speak
colors half mended, half inspected
the words lost inside your head
a secret code repeating through the halls
reward system
when I tear myself through the window
did I catch a piece of your sanity?
pacing up and down this maze
I lock down my heart
To wait for the day
when you can clean the darkest frustration
scrubbing the bruises from my veins
like a batting cage they take their turn
I can see colors burning through the distance
breath in and out
they inhale every secret left inside my mind
a million words are exhaled
but I can’t translate a blind man’s burden
run through this glass covered maze
skin broken to bone
men watch in uniform
they shake the locks with cruelty
shut my eyes with polaroids under every scar
flash every emotion away
their hands shake at they keys
will they unlock the doors?
telegraphic instinct
shaking through the floors
numbness taking over my skin
a loss of perfection
a loss of idealization
stop the heartbeat and take a second step
chemicals lost inside my head
an arrow splintering the details
a cause for alarm
a cause to disarm
ingest years and years from your veins
diffuse the crisis left hanging from your eyes
brace my back with window panes
crack every outcome like determination
look through the floating horsemen
run the bay to find you upside-down
every color carved through the wooden trunks
ageless color
shake the hidden truth from each branch
can I find you when I turn away?
can I find you through every horses’ step?
my madness, my true instinct
my illusion, lost in delusion
gallop against the sand pressing so far against your skin
jump through the carriage tumbling clear into your heart
telegraphic instinct
Shattered Mind
