Before Flight

Painted skies, wake me up from this static life.
(I’m drifting.)
Where days just seem to fly by…
(To nowhere it seems.)
And with no place in mind to go…
I’ll be there …
Eyed wide shut,
And a mouth knowing all.
Yet see how they grasp,
Always reaching for more?
Stumbling through the dark,
Moving ever forward.
(They’ve learned nothing.)
This will be the last chance afforded us.
The irony of a shortsighted god.
In trembling hands
Rests their hopes and their worlds..
So I’ve been told…

In dream intoxication,
The scenery keeps shifting,
Before my eyes can notice.
Move, thought form expedition,
Through these worlds,
What must be sought.
Beneath the layers of human texture.
Awaken to the dawn,
Of a familiar rising sun.
The notion that thousands must die,
For one being to shine,
It comforts my mind…my reality defined.
The noise is getting louder, it deafens my ears.
The clamor of rush hour, the voices of my peers.
Again we’ve missed the point,
The reason why we’re here,
To let these songs drift on..
And do away with fear.
Despite it all, we’ll just keep running backwards
Towards that indescribable feeling,
Dancing towards the mirror.
This road shows no sign of reprieve..
Just shallows to stumble through.
They long for your company soon…
And with no place left to go but forward,
My heart can’t take much more.
I must depart,
To feel the sounds, live the sights of this world.
I know that it won’t last long,
I know death waits for no one.
The noise stops, the end begins of another day,
I won’t be hearing it again,
Until I’ve found my way…
(Through the endless skies I’ve grown to love..
I know we’ve grown so far apart.
A foolish lie I’ve hoped would one day bring me,
To that place I’ll call home.)

I looked to the west and saw,
A thousand setting suns.
* * *
Is it safe now to crawl across?
A thin strand of memories remains.
Thinly veiled in golden fog and dreams of dust.
It resonates within the cold refrain.
I thought I would be free from this.
A Cheshire smile,
And voices from within, they cry out..
Come seeker, try as you might.
The image is not getting any clearer.
This wastelands promise you’ve held yourself too,
Collapses,
As freedom and reason shine through.
Standing here at the apex of all these selfish thoughts,
Trying to remember, just what it is I had once sought.
The ideas there, just a little more and I’ll follow through.
In desperate flight, for a life once dreamt,
To start anew.
Oh, time.
With open arms we find,
Worlds inside,
Never spoke,
Undefined.
Can’t you see this line that you’ve drawn,
Stands to be defined?
Trying so hard, to not let it fall apart.
Through every routine, every motion,.
Forced march from boredom, kick started with uppers.
So why bother? Have you not seen the programs?
No one cares but to have a number, a lover.
Show them we’ve got what they want,
Relevance.
Hypocrites…feigning aspirations.-
So I’ve been told, but you know?
I think I have grown,
For the loves and laughs I’d had those days,
In my soul, they’ll stay.
We are all what we are.
And need to be, free from ennui.
For the love of love, we all must grow.
And let it go.
Let it go.
-And so comes a close to the beginnings of our wanderers journey,,
Far from home he stands at the edge of all he’s known,
And for it all nothing can yet be shown.
Time moves ever on, indifferent to our wants and needs,
With ease we collapse reduced to mere memories.
Memento mori,
Just another tale in this fools story.

Into the sea…
The time for impact,
Has finally come.
The chance to become one.
And leave behind all your false dreams..
Together, let’s ascend the gods,
Show them just how far we’ve come.
The rest dissolves into history..
Embrace the fall.
I must know…
Will I gain control?
My life seems to spiral out onto its own lies,
Thoughts that will bind.
I’ve sought this sky,
And learned of flight and fall
Flight and fall.
All our worries, insecurities.
Is this not what makes us all what we are?
Break this mortal shell.
My own personal hell.
We’re all but equals here,
In an ocean of fear.
Take a look around,
(Darkness surrounds..)
What do you see?
(What do I feel?)
All of this is just a part
Of you..
(A part of me..)
The sweet relief,
Old souls release.
So begins the journey,
To the stars we’ll fly on.
You are alone,
You cannot proceed
You cannot rebuild,
Your humanity.
(I am not alone,
I will proceed.
I will rebuild..
My humanity.)

Admit the Endless Sky

Will we ever get back?
To those days of unfiltered joy and happiness.
Dreams now consumed..
Weak souls seek life,
An era of decline.
And in the end I know,
That we’re all just so fucking small,
So let’s selfishly live for just one more day.
Let this comfort consume me,
It’s not for you to say what’s real.
Can’t give up on her, she’s all I need
For one more night, the limited escape.
(Escape…)
With eyes watching and mouths moving,
I feel nothing, but certain relief.
(I feel nothing...)
Open your eyes soon,
The road that lies ahead, I know what I must do.
Before these waves envelop you.
Behind these glazed eyes lies a flickering thought.
An answer to what I’ve searched for?
I know now that the end approaches,
Of my admissions,
To this endless sky.
(Never again to fear this light I’ve sought; unknown.
So far from this place this journey started so long ago.
I’ve wandered the memories and this one truth I've known..
Whatever lies ahead as above…
Is so below.)

The Outside Reason

Colors surround me,
As fires rushing through these veins,
With new purpose..
Times come to take it in,
And move towards new prospects.
* * *
How much times come and gone?
I no longer remember my one sun.
Is this just memory fading?
Or part of a god that’s necessary?
So quick to leave it all behind,
With only his horizons in sight…
The boy began his journey,
Into a world without such mercy..
And so they burned it all down.
They brought their idols crashing right into the ground.
An empire found on bloodshed,
Quickly died, with not one soul left.
-The Common Man-
This rain won’t cease.
The bodies are piling higher.
I have not seen the sun in weeks..
I can no longer feel my flesh,
Is there hope for any of us?
We were only fighting for a world of peace.)
-The Decision-
We remember leaving the shore,
Wanting more.
Our eyes grew in sight of the sky.
A price so high…
(We alone, to know
The burden we must carry.
For our young to be…
We’ll bury our own lost souls
To make things right,
A price so high..)
Yeah, we’ll all return to the sea.
Still you force-feed me my destiny?
A hell above is a hell below.
So find me one reason
to continue this cycle.
Understand this, and understand me.
I won’t just do this for humanity.
The ways been opened,
A course now set towards the unknown.
Hold fast those ideals,
For there will be no return home.
(The void draws closer,
Colors are surrounding me.
What’s left behind? I can no longer drift along.
Every thought gone unspoken.
Just to move towards that place,
We can call a home.)
