The Greater Cause

Sentiment sediment
Along the skin.
Batter it. Better it.
Stain the canvas razor thin
Open it, open it
I didn’t look.
I never noticed.
Better now, huh? Better? No.
A leisured lesion bleeds.
So...
Hey there are the scars I see self - inflicted?
Do you carve yourself to be vindictive?
Forbidden sleeves in the summer
Cover the marks therapy invokes
Spar with the wrist like an alpha
Pressure to know the shame stuck in your throat
Yeah
Your eyes are dark and dangerous
And now I notice that you’re wanting to erase yourself
I think I know but ask myself still..
Hey there are the scars I see self - inflicted?
Do you carve yourself to be vindictive?
And I wonder how you could do it...
Does the laceration free the rot within?
I’m dying to view again
I’m dying to be let in
I’m dying to understand.
I want to see the greater cause.
The way you cope will leave a mark.
Hey there are the scars I see self - inflicted?
Do you carve yourself to be vindictive?
And I wonder how you could do it...

Hurt the Worst

Count down 'til I bleed out
Eden isn’t real, it’ll never have appeal
The window in my room
Beckons me to jump, I back up, and I give it what I’ve got.
Now I want to be living painfully.
When I hurt the worst I create the most.
Take my happiness and I will write an anthem
Take my pettiness and I will lose direction
Red on my arms and my torso.
Sitting up, I look around.
Why is air still in my lungs?
This poem will never be
Everything I want, full of rampant mental block
I guess I’ll take it still
If I have to own the dark, break the bulb on idealistic hearts.
Now I want to be living painfully.
When I hurt the worst I create the most.
Take my happiness and I will write an anthem
Take my pettiness and I will lose direction
No this poem will never be exactly what I want so break the bulb around me
Now I want to be living painfully.
When I hurt the worst I create the most.
Take my happiness and I will write an anthem
Take my pettiness and I will lose direction

Float Up. Stay There.

There are days I want to burn every bridge.
Drive off the shoulder into an abyss.
Still my heart won’t let me
It wants to live
But for the record I don’t trust it.
Who should be the bigger person?
What have we been taught?
Those who settle at the bottom
Never see the top.
I’ll stay ‘til I get
All that I want; that I feel I deserve.
And I won’t forget who was there in the process,
And who got in the way.
The losses curb the process and unfold.
One thing leads to something, never nothing, that’s the goal.
But my heart is pounding
It wants to live
And for the record I must trust it.
I’ll stay ‘til I get
All that I want; that I feel I deserve.
And I won’t forget who was there in the process,
And who got in the way.
Float up. Stay there.
She said she'd stay close
Tied up timezones.
She gave me the most.
I only know the story of what has led up to now.
How far out is the ending...
Where are we now?
So I’ll stay 'til I get
All that I want that I feel I deserve
And I won’t forget
Everything in the process.
So I’ll stay til I get
All that I want; that I need that I crave.
And I won’t forget
Who was there in the process
And who got in the way.
We all turn the page.
