Things We Leave Behind
Flightless, we stand Firmly on the cursed soil Was there a war to win? Racing the clock to no avail Life has come to a halt We're still compelled to carry on Deterioration sets in Times of forfeiture A lingering ghost of what once was Absent-minded, obsolete Warning signs were ignored Plunging towards the crossroads Degraded to nothing Dead end existence I turned every wretched stone Dеgraded to nothing in toxic thought I just don't know where to turn I just do not know

As waste are the unworthy, the dregs of life The defect, the defiant, the unwilling A crumbling life equation Consistently endorsed by fingers crossed Frustration and contempt, a bitter pastime Deemed unbecoming by pitiful design Our search of peace is but a burden Monetized, stigmatized, conformed Succumb to the frustration Of a material pursuit that was never ours We are misplaced in life Far from the favoured circles Left to wander, no signs of relief Meanwhile the shadows grew vast We sing the song of the discarded We sing the song of the discarded ones Lacrimose sleep yields no resolutions Dulled ambitions of the sufferer Constructing thoughts in vain The escapist's maze of mind Cannot defeat the shackles of reality

No silver lining In the common misery Glorified, ashen crowned Streetlight city swallowing lives A blank stare beyond the crowd Pale reflection, a sea of thought Replay the movies in my mind Rearranging fallen times Another shape in monochrome Another war inside foregone Enter the silent stage It's been a scramble, a strange trip Carry the trace, this reminiscence The twisted journeys in black and white Thеre's a sense of yеarning In the weak at heart To dream with the best of them Wager war inside Enter the silent stage Faded shades of innocence Fallen times in the darker corners It's that time again

Inner cacophony Destructive tendency Obsessions, distractions Eroding neuroticism You installed in me caution A persistent voice of unreason I gazed beneath into the depths of man Examined every concept in perilous review To be so strong, yet so weak Exhausting mantras inside Devoid of instinct, an existential misshape A flaming adversary in sullen silence An inward turn, a dismal partaking

City night brings me back To retread past steps Among the moving shadows Among the distant lights I'm a fly on the wall No more profound moments An overstayed welcome Repeat the cycle of duty Submission's inevitable decline In olden footsteps Nameless shape on the pavement Flickering lights, heightened senses Nocturnal being in transit Solitary bliss, fevering Inward reflection The nights that used to last forеver Just don't happen anymore

Betrayed and abandoned He closed the doors on life Lonely days until the final rest Sorrow's burden A hesitant smile A graven image of what was lost I never wanted you to hurt, nor suffer so Can I abandon the place by your side? I never wanted you to hurt, nor suffer so Can we find meaning, and reconcile? To the deepest pits of grief It seems we are destined To overcome and fall again Absent reward Fine winter days Drenched in sun The beauty stained by loss We could only watch As you were stripped of all your worth Every promise made Time can betray

Let my hair down Faint summer breeze Like I could breathe For the first time Tall trees shifting colors Finally I can see So much and so little to say Have I found my home? Out of my place of hiding A fleeting moment In the wake of a storm

Where is the grace? In our passing lives Abundance of the worldly A lack of substance A senseless race head-to-head with the wilful Your fight was never mine I see cold men graceful in their moves Ready for the next sweeping tide This tired parade of words inane What is there to hold on to but the pretense of dreams? I cannot lower myself, idle another day Turning away from truth and profound thought I have seen, I've sеarched enough Detеrmined faces and plastic facades Search in despair for some humanity Nourish the fading spirit This is my requiem My long awaited reclusion I can't silence the voice That speaks of detriment The detriment of human kind I just never found a home A sense of common ground Forever deemed a stranger, yet forced to comply Do I dare to dream once again? Govern my own existence Do I dare to dream once again? Do I dare to leave things behind?
