people with matchbook eyes
can’t understand which way we tick
seven strikes on film
like the broken bird upon your chest
now I know
stumble through sober breaths
collapse those mirrors
matchbook eyes (old lyrics)
Category: treatment
“the lanterns are made of gold”
Try to find a way out
Tears so violent in yesterday’s youth
substances painting windows across time
A carriage mirrored across the sky
Fire shouting in a match to regain solidarity
Precision of a witness on the stands day in and day out
Past the motorcade men marching up and down their drowning faces
Try to sleep through a memory picked apart by broken needles silencing the truth
Voices crawl through the walls
Voices break every last filament
Shaking the stain of regret
A dose of pain
a dose of hope running thin
Lost in the faith of memory gone astray
Faces of tomorrow drink from the laughter burning through the crowd
Breaking the ice in my heart day in and day out
Spinning around and around in the dark and light
Visions to guide past the violence written in their eyes
A sacrifice breaking the bread behind cathedral walls
The light shinning brighter and brighter
Forgiving the sins written across their eyes
Memories numb my
“wheels under your skin”
Faces blind colorless
Running through the basement knocking between voice to voice
Witness the pattern
Monitoring the day in and out
Step into the detection scripts
Carry vices on their broken backs
Catalyst igniting the wheels under your skin
Tires burning to witness and withstand
Breaking free from time itself
The flames ingulf substance ahead
A dream faster and faster
Search for survival on the stands
Collapse bridges numbing confusion
painting sickness through walls
memories dreamt too far
“in love with a ghost”
In love with a ghost
Afraid of the world given to me
Breaking down a memory ward
Voices falling from heaven
Locked in trespass…a room…a prison meant to carry on
Faces scattering watching time burn
Sketching out the hidden souls before they disappear
Look towards the sky but it’s all allusion
Mistakes filmed beyond sources agonized through experiment
Perspectives damages
Treating a disease falling from the asylum pushed past incurable regret
Disordered thoughts avoiding destination
Too blind to see the world
Voices demanding solitary confession
Collecting desires…pushing towards the hill
Treating the broken corners driven by unstable minds
Truth slipping away
Empathy washing away their skin
At the gates I can see their faces
Voices breaking down these fences of my heart
Shaking a bell to heaven…don’t let it burn from implication
“to find you again”
The first time I look in the mirror
All I see is you
Counting down the days in my heart
To find you again
To find you again
Damaging myself when you appear
Damaging myself when you appear
Like all the ghosts walking down the street
All I see is you
All I see is you
Transparent and numbered by time
A witness to my guidepost
You are the one in my mind
20 years gone
It’s you
Climbing up the mountains
To reach the mirror
Pushing back self control
Losing it all for these mistakes
Walking down the streets to find you
To open up these doors to see a ghost
But I know it is really you
A true instinct
To send these letters through time
To find you again
When you appear I’ve lost it all
When you appear these colors pressing against my heart
Is it really you?
Shaking these voices
To hear you
Breaking down the windows to find your heart
Shaking down every door to see these visions
To wash away my tears
Pressing against the wall
Staring through time to catch up with memories
All these secrets I want to give you everything
Faster and faster to scrape away a value
Fast and faster to breakdown the light
Faster and faster to find you again
To find you again
To find you again
personalities clinging to observation
emotional breakdown
“conquering every dream under escaping collapse”
trapped beyond recognized collapsing rain
the stillness of encryption written in lost magazines
damaged colors in the rain scream from the illuminated screens in your eyes
saving souls with medicated half-lives against written frequencies
withstand the silence when people fall through processed skies
the turmoil burning through your face breaks a million faults of image
a charade of instinct breaking aging keys to heaven
whispers burning against amplified skin
a sense of distracted damage on the streets of ultraviolet streets without a collapsed mirror reflection
break through unheard risks of observed protested manipulations
kneeling against saving angels falling from broken photographs
conversations controlled by television screens
withdrawing from a trauma digging under chloroformed visions captured by a telescopic hue
a lost impact behind the aged paradise
windows that control the future of mankind
cars falling from tomorrow to withstand your beauty
unlocking possibilities without a hue we can understand
a gift they clench from the sky to keep away strangers from the future
to crash a discipled ghost lost in their minds
angels unheard under a hidden eye they watch from stormy eloquences
stumbling colors that find their way across lakes written behind comprehension
reflections unstable to detailed paintings in your eyes… can’t catch the spinning mirrors of time
cathedral walls design a future burning from a lost liberty
voices that crack against controlled relapses aging escape
destroying futility with thoughts from recreated skies
victims conquer amnesty written against absolved paper shaded through value without definition
comprehending times of instability conquering every dream come true
Shattered Mind
