Blurry - From A Distance

withering to defeat
failure becomes concrete
hope please bring me to my feet
thresholds of possibilities

the echos resonate
repeating its over its too late
hopes warmth no longer radiates
apathy overtakes
silhouettes dance over me
sweet misery craves company
the clock it seemed so promising
but the silence isn't as forgiving

in the mirror it occurs
yet it never appears
confused he slurs
hes trying to find his words now
from a window seal dreams surreal
insecurities block what he longs to feel
another day
another bottle to swallow the pain
its like hes drowning in sorrow
he cant escape
afraid to face the same tomorrow
the pain that follows
like chains that refrain
he's hollow and not awake
everyday its like he's begging for change
hoping the same thing
but its not like hope is a game
broken in shame
cant even breathe cause he's choking in pain
reflecting on his past
another trap, memory lane
hidden deep within shadows are the battles he's yet to face
where a pattern unravels yet the puzzles dont fit in place
and the past-tense becomes way too intense
where concepts slip into thoughts with no logical sense

the echos resonate
repeating its over its too late
hopes warmth no longer radiates
apathy overtakes
silhouettes dance over me
sweet misery craves company
the clock it seemed so promising
but the silence isn't as forgiving

devoted to this mirage as the desert dissolves
ive measured my flaws and what i would give to relive with cause
time travel the earth go back and forth still we are who we are
with a future forecast of nothing to the calloused in heart
the strongest that fought
the bravest that became slaves in thought
all the poets and wise men bribed but never bought
where destiny is dwindled down to a casting of lots
and its only innocent in mind survive
or intellect under shock
it isnt fair but I get, ill-prepared I never fought
now I know ignorance is bliss but man I hate that paradox
I'm lacking a plan, time is sand, no motivation in these hands
my eyes are sown shut, colors are gone, no moving on
deliberately exhausting my senses
for heightened momentary glimpses
so artificial, only purity was crossing fences
false fabrication in the recreation of sensation
offers no replication equivalent to true elation

the echos resonate
repeating its over its too late
hopes warmth no longer radiates
apathy overtakes
silhouettes dance over me
sweet misery craves company
the clock it seemed so promising
but the silence isn't as forgiving

withering to defeat
failure becomes concrete
hope please bring me to my feet
thresholds of possibilities

as I breathe I inhale rust
as I stand I become dust
as I breathe I inhale rust
as I stand I become dust

the echos resonate
repeating its over its too late
hopes warmth no longer radiates
apathy overtakes
silhouettes dance over me
sweet misery craves company
the clock it seemed so promising
but the silence isn't as forgiving
