1.
An Apology 00:34
I wish we could share the things we never had All those times that would make life easier The arguments And lessons responsibilities I never wanted to be an older sibling I'm sorry we're so close but so far
2.
This pattern is blue I'll just hold my breath What could i do? I was only a child The closer we stand, the further I feel Grasping at straws.
3.
defense from attacks that lack rationale, semblence hysteria. hysteria. unfounded, outdated. you lost this time you'll lose again. so what card is left to play?
4.
Shigoto 00:19
I've sold too much time Trapped in this routine. Push me toward the windowsill Spinning my wheels Time will just leak into Another awkward break room silence
5.
I remember getting used to hard wood floors Now we can't even sleep in our own beds Tossing and turning I fidget and scuttle Gasping and gagging Like the first breath after a coma How disgusting I can only move forward with good intentions. These unfamiliar ceilings mean nothing.
6.
struggle to grab the words avoid the awkward stares errors in hardware sit back and let this play decisions to make live in the background and let it pass by or smash all the pieces that aim to confine? we're not on our own.
7.
We've been down This road before. Time and time again. Late nights turn black The old one step forward Two steps back I know what I think you wanna hear. I try and try but never understand. Bring it back, Let's start again. I'll get it right in the end.
8.
quicksand with every word that is said. like the old phrase "you're damned if you do and you're damn if you don't". backward goose chase of pleasing a concept that won't stay the same. there are some things that can't be made simple, made easy. we try our best.
9.
How far have we really come? Hiding behind stale ideals. Don't expect to wash your hands This won’t go away. This is the first step and you're setting everyone back. The old world is still in front of us.
10.
Time will tell us if you chose to stand on the wrong side of this point in history. You can't go back in time, the doors are unlocked with strength and pride. Will you choose to stand on the wrong side of history?
11.
Presque Vu 00:56
How can I say this without breaking an egg? To be so blunt at the wrong times. What does soft language heal? I'm still searching for the words. I'm still searching. I need more time.
12.
while i'm ahead i'll close the door and remember things the best they were. the rationale of suicide can't be applied to a whole life. Everyday these steps seem so much bigger than the last. Have I peaked? Is this all down hill? What if it doesn't get better than this? Have I seen all there is to see? Living groundhog's day again Have I seen all there is to see? Is this how I rationalized my life?
13.
In The Groud 01:12
14.
Why is it when I look to this place that's given me so much I feel regret? Take your shots, make your distance, build up another wall. Look down your nose at me for everything. I'm waiting in a paper cup in the middle of the ocean. I'm still waiting for this to change.
15.
how long was I out? how long has it been? I can't feel a thing, I can't even breathe. leaving worse than i was. no answers to the symptoms living with no questions answered.
16.
had to make peace with the facts of the day accept the limits of what i could be invested the time to maintain a peace only to find out your guns were ablaze i only wanted you to pursue what made you happy what made you whole now everytime we speak i feel the claws are out and i'm trying my best have to keep you at arms reach and I'm sorry, but I couldn't find an alternative to this. i'm sure we'll carry on in our separate lives.
17.
No nationality, no ethncity, loyalty only to currency When they spoke of the antichrist they did not know this personhood Are borders just illusions as the resources and people are exploited? So move on to the tune of opportunity? No more presidents, no more governments, one world currency, one world llc
18.
Tacenda 01:35
we used to get by with scraped knees before gray turned to white. i propose a toast to you and yours standing on familiar platforms. missing trains i've missed one thousand times. admitting defeat without saying a word. with glasses raised it's too late. so we try again.
19.
There is value in our every day experience that far exceeds expensive condescension. While they theorize in comfort study the words of the text that's assigned that offer no practical application. Dying to prove how fast they outgrow their own ideals while the rest of us take comfort in the substance of the real world.
20.
running every red light, kicking down unlocked doors. i want to unsay it all, and walk away with everything that i let go. return from the ether.
21.
please let me go. sitting on this bed i can see my breath. the cold closed in. my resolve is weak and i gave in. all I hear is a hum in the distance.
22.
The space we take up has more than this. We can't fathom the units involved What if your "god" is an equation you haven't worked out? Just math waiting for us to unfold a tessaract, a space time match, the unseen facts. This god is just an unsolved equation, this faith is to an apparition
23.
she took a stand for a future and suffered more than ever her crime was only a dream where there were no limitations astounded at fixtures that aim to maintain this cycle the threat that she posed was one of suggesting freedoms her crime was only a dream, a thought of a future seeds have been planted
24.
These days we're like strangers with no context or history. If we met on the street we wouldn't think twice about our lives. So let's raise a glass to the duties of obligation that we never asked for nor do we want. And they say "what is a man without a family?" Would you tell me one thing about these ties that bind when they can't even hold a fraction of their weight.
25.
26.
the leadership brings loneliness, a weight too strong to bare. so we'll sit here with our heads down and wait for someone to initiate the plans that we'll reap rewards of for just showing up.
27.
born into constructs that loosely define character. social guidelines to follow that lead down to dead ends definitions fall short for the range of details definitions become expectations for behaviors instil this subtle repression, yeah. to be accepted by the masses
28.
lesson one about excuses: controversy is no substitute for a work that gleams with truth and the backfire proves the point for us all and the backfire shows your tactics just make you look small
29.
wear it like a suit of the strongest armor when they call you bastard when they call you shamed never forget who you are this world won't let you when they call you bastard when they call you shamed
30.
Condolences 02:49
Closed caskets, a lowered coffin, burdened with the memory. life is more than a fleeting feeling, and facing death is never easy. While saying I'm sorry never feels like enough to comfort those who need it. Empty vessels, hollow shells.
