ivory
collapsing into modified fears
trying to comprehend a dream we call living
realizing the vastness of doubt
like the space between silence and a scream
the mind whithers away from the breath of reality
barren and fruitless from all of life's brutality
the stale sedated soul cries out for relief
looking for a stronger medication to help ease the pain
seperate the waste from the youthful heart
snap the nerves and split them apart
the damage was already done long ago
back when emotions were actually shown
now all that remains is the aged drifting shadow
like a broken mirror left to reflect the past
suffering from the empty plague of sorrow
the always blistering void for a better tomorrow
soon questions of vitality came into play
of how much longer life would be this way
and what to trust and who to believe
as a new desolate form took its course
with frozen touch of forgotten tranquility
the feelings of detachment and unreality
pushing an envelope towards a living movie scene
the petals of the innocent flower became curled
after losing search for love in this unguided little world
spineless piano keys play their lonely heart's to divide
the same mind taking two different sides
hoping to come to some sort of rational conclusion
from all this hesitation and confusion
so comfortable now in this bleak absolution
so let there be no truths to be known
the inspiration flows as the mind begins to slow
looking to far down the open roads
go back and search for all the right notes
sit and ponder the infidelities of home
and as it was shown there was nothing to say
watching everything as it all slipped away
all the precious things that needed to be saved
trying to fix the puzzle peices back into place
as tears begin to escape from intensifying internal pain
is there a way out from this slow decay
besides the ghostly memories that still remain
somewhere deep inside that still desires life
something untouched from the agony of time
so pure it could widen the eyes of love higher than any sky
