Misdirection

I hold myself captive
Inside of my mind
I throw away prizes
I'll waste all your time
At the end of my tunnel, no light to be shed
I'll never outgrow this
Most of my friends, stick to these trends
I'm just poly social floater with no means to an end
We say were close but I see it different
Will I ever outgrow this?
With an alternate perception
I put myself in this position
Never breaking these conditions
This is the absence of my ambition
Reinvent ourselves when the new cycles start
Years move forward, old relations fall apart
All that's left are empty spaces; voids left to fill
These regrets they inch into hearts, leaving nothing but a shell
Our beginning lies in the chains that we break
Forever shifting the balance, we've been caught in its wake
The song play on. It never stops
Voices carry melodies of pain and loss
Clouded observation without a grasp on direction
A blurred refection, Misdirection

"We live in a world where everything you know is wrong.
Seeing is not believing. For all we know, history could be a lie."
Unwillingness to seek the truth dulls the value of your life.
Searching for the crown, an emblem of truth
In the midst of this war, nothing can be found but the lies we adore.
When the clearest of nights reveal the lights in the sky.
We gaze into the structures of time.
I seek the truth among the travel's I've made.
A lesson of certainty, a legacy of age.
We've hidden bones behind our closet doors
Whispers journey across these wooden floors
Familiar voices hold a mystery
Recognition of a memory
In the marrow lies our history
Look to a world we know little of
Small portraits sustain knowledge above
I find the truth as dawn turns to dusk:
We are the stars and the stars are in us.
Lived in a cave for a number of days
I said forget it and abandoned the game
Lived in a cave for a number of days
I said forget it as I lost all my ways
Living thinking freely on my own
The past is a shelf i've somehow outgrown
Still, you're blind to the truth.
I fought the devil for a taste of hell
Tore this place apart, found the truth is in myself
Upon this march, I find a will, consider it a win though
I got a place to dwell
I seek the truth among the travels i've made

This morning I watched the moon greet the sun.
On these cliffs in the sky before the day had begun.
Allowing my feet to leave the surface of these jagged stones.
Falling though the empty skies apprehensive and alone.
The clouds suspend my weight as the earth pulls me down.
Soon I'm a damaged figure left kissing the ground.
You. Me. You, you kill me.

Slowly Sinking

We built our homes in the eye of the storm
I held her close as we tried to keep warm
Our allegiance lost to unending reform
For the worst, this nation is starting to transform
I built my home in the eye of the storm
I held her close as we fought to stay warm
Our allegiance lost to unending reform
For the worst, this nation has started to transform
Masters fail to live up to their professions
Countless hours spent on worthless dedications
Break off the ties that conduct your mind
Unravel the image of a perfect self
Break off the ties that conduct your mind
They've placed a hood over your clouded eyes
They've led your judgement amiss
Put an end to all you're told, find the facts out for yourself
It's time we end this
The innocence of our youth is dying
Our fists are aimlessly swinging
We keep breathing and singing
But slowly we're all sinking, slowly..
Breathing. Singing. Slowly Sinking.
