Wolves Within

I am a shadow slipping into the abyss A part of me that will never leave Just to remind me of who I have grown to be Pulling me side to side It won't forget me I'm watching where I step So I don't fall between the cracks An anti-pattern in disbelief I can't convince myself to be better than I am I am the watcher This is a severance We are waiting for the signs It'll take more than fortune and shooting stars To keep me from falling I unwrap myself I dissolve Into one-thousand pieces I am a shadow Slipping into the abyss A part of me. Never leave.

Underwater There is no chance of breathing inside this vessel Blue lipped and anemic We are constantly questioning our safety So much pressure. We struggle I just want to give in Please help me To keep the waters from crashing over me This ship is sinking. My heart is palpitating Your God won't save you We bend and twist. From distant ends Waves crash together blind without warning A great deluge. Envelop everything And all that's lost was taken Oh, I cannot believe this is happening Please just give me one more chance Pressed within your trembling hopeful hands Intangible. You're wasting time Steel rivets snap and moan Intangible Your God won't save you Now. The welds are breaking down My hands are shaking now. The welds are breaking Oh, what a shame... You can't hide Crush the mast- envelop all Your palms together won't keep us from sinking

Where have I been? Blearing pacific winds Crossing foothills, constructing stories Ruptured earth guiding me home Romantic fault lines A bridge's quake in my bones A place we called home A distance we have learned Pull me in, and help me out (of this hemisphere) I want to swim amidst the satellites Sinking to the bottom. I exhale Close my eyes- Disengage Here. There is no there. Give me (indication). Give me (separation) With everything seeming pulse-less Give me (indication). Give me (separation) I'm drifting into oblivion And there's no place I'd rather be I'm drifting into oblivion Isolated in black- My thoughts spin My worlds divide I am lost in space Burning up in the atmosphere When I finally come crashing down Wrap my bones inside miracles A safe place- I am finally home Pull me in, and help me out (of this hemisphere) I want to swim amidst the satellites Sinking to the bottom. I exhale Close my eyes- Disengage Here. There is no there. Give me (indication). Give me (separation) With everything seeming pulse-less Give me (indication). Give me (separation) I'm drifting into oblivion Now I'm slipping away.

The sway of distance A suffering march Lives tremble on and on We usher burdens that see us through Blinding light emanates guiding me from within For I am just part of who I was back then Where we were. When this all began Inside this vision I am no longer in control of my own life Sickened by surroundings. Occupied and weak Tangled and desperate I expand I am paper thin. Lines etched and carved from misery Somebody help me please. Because I can never leave this place I am afraid of becoming you I'll deconstruct my self For I am just a part of who I was Where we were. When this all began Something inside me. I cannot fix So we begin again So send me to my grave Lives tremble on and on But we are just a perception of a common theme We are something more I pretend I am better I disconnect Searching and believing That we are something more I pretend I am better I disconnect

Misery- I wanted to forget you But five years later I have grown I have regret You were better deserved. But we all learn Hands to broken mirrors. We shattered our design You were always so easy for me. To leave in ruins Those nine summers we burned together Were disparate and beautiful Strange our thoughts can take us And I can still feel the warmth Coursing through lungs. Escaping in my thoughts Our hands. To broken mirrors. We shattered I hope that this letter finds you in drift Provokes shared memories and you accept my apology I was young and constantly desolate A spinning picture of grey skies I'm holding nothing back My thoughts provoked this heart attack And tonight I go on display to the world But we silently know, this is between you and I I hope this letter finds you in drift I hope this finds you in drift

We disappear from our thoughts and sounds Our features- abrasive So many things we overlook Is there something that we don't know? That over time. We're over time Wrought with dysfunction, and callous minds So take the knife within my heart Sharpen it with water and virtue Oh, the mystery. Of what we wished we knew Oh the misery. There's so much more that I could have That I could give Falling faster, gaining speed Everything around me wraps me in light, precious life Something we seem to forget, I can feel something real burning inside Something we seem to forget, I can feel it burning inside of me Wind exerts my lungs. The influence of my being Weightlessness. A beautiful affection Force its hold Against my deep breath Oh, the mystery. Of what we wished we knew Oh the misery. There's so much more that I could have That I could give

In the twisting, I see myself Pixelated. Construed. I am reaching out For something, for me to hold on to But I never do. Failing- I never will Some things just do not exist And some days I'll be the evoked of The hope for a landing, for safety But the synapse fires, exploding And this is letting go Life- this is a lesson that we don't sign up for But we fatefully learn And as I grow old Time will break me apart From stem to bough, and my heart to reason I will become the dirt of which I began Distracted by imperfection we are covered in rust Hopeless and distant, we sway side to side From season to season, we fall apart So hold this in your hand, and don't let go These are the things that we live for Some things just do not exist And some days I'll be the evoked of dissonant. But we still try Prudent through our brothers' eyes Back at the start We lost our direction We are covered in rust Hopeless and distant, we sway side to side Distracted by imperfection We fall apart

Consign myself away I've built myself with molten steel My skeletal hands are wired and worn I'm becoming a compound so I push and pull Electric currents replace blood cells Eccentric circuits my soul connects Spheric and strong I no longer break down I cannot rest My eyes illuminate against the glass Abstaining focal shifts to palindrome lines Mimic expression. Translucent model of progression I look out, escape is granted. Free myself Unresponsive- a mechanic I work inline Scanning faces I learn the nothingness inside A binary heart beat. A digital visionary Escape is granted, and in this moment, I free myself As each memory fades, in this emptiness. I free myself Your hand reaches out. I am reaching back

Where do we begin We are lost, we are polluted We are lost, we are polluted We are lost, we are polluted Where do we begin When everything is wrong we just forget Move along and we play pretend Surround your life with silver and gold Your tinsel dreams and the make believe Deconstructed and paralyzed So slowly somehow I am evaporating We dream to be the lesser A malign separate existence We be little ourselves to a lesser Being our dreams are not our dreams Cogitation a distant fragment Separate me from the whole My thoughts are now unchained And it seems that in everything We want isn't anything we need And all the signals We seem to have taken for granted We are lost, we are polluted Into the grey a wolf amongst ravens Lines flicker and twist descending A distorted creation from nothing So monstrous, so murderous Lay your body down And separate were shedding skin Scale by scale the filth replaces it You crystalize the world around you Your aim for the weak A twisting sleep breaks inside of me A sickness you live in I begin to break away Please set me free I will remain amongst the filth Conceal myself in this residuum I will remain amongst the filth Asking where do we begin We are lost, we are polluted We are lost, we are polluted We are lost, we are polluted We are lost, where do we begin We are lost, we are polluted We are lost, we are polluted We are lost, we are polluted Into the grey a wolf amongst ravens
