| I will stay calm and collected, but just for a moment
|
| I have forsaken my motions and now feel broken
|
| Caught in a radical state, feeling progressive in a way
|
| But emptied of all structure
|
| I feel like my life has been stripped away
|
| Sometimes when I close my eyes
|
| I see myself as an empty cathedral
|
| And I can’t help but yield those, those lackluster vehicles
|
| Tiny engines that encourage my deepening state of confusion
|
| Without her to hold
|
| I feel like I can’t keep control over my original visions
|
| I’ve seen the cinematic adaptation of broken relations
|
| But first-hand experience is the only way to understand
|
| The emotions that come with it
|
| Those moment of wishing things were different
|
| Cliche it may seem, but I feel like it needs to be evaluated
|
| Those forgotten messages I whispered under my breath
|
| Every time I thought about the future I wanted to possess
|
| Then those dark reminiscent nights lost in thought
|
| When questions, not answers, is all I’ve got
|
| Was it something I said?
|
| If not, I promise it will be because I’m not giving up yet
|
| I try not to speak from the heart but from my head
|
| But today’s an exception and my words were reflected
|
| My lungs hurt from inhaling the past
|
| I feel like a ship with a broken mast
|
| Following a north star, a course far, a horse par
|
| That never wanted to meet
|
| A path I never wanted to seek, desiring to be free
|
| Desiring to forget the memories floating off behind me
|
| But still somehow hoping this is all just a terrible dream
|
| And things will go back to how I thought they were meant to be
|
| I’m a monster to my own philosophies
|
| Basing my happiness off of anything I can grasp that won’t kill me
|
| Just so I can feel something
|
| Just so this pain can mean something
|
| Maybe not to me, but at least to somebody
|
| And when I leave this present darkness
|
| And harness enough self-respect to move out
|
| Out of the stickening wall between acceptance and reluctant help
|
| So please remove this fleeting need to feel her touch against my flesh
|
| And replenish that ambition I once had to seek authentic love again
|
| Because as long as we keep dreaming, our hearts continue beating
|
| And love will find us, even if we’re sleeping |
