The Starry Skies

  It really doesn't have to end this way Okay? In a world where darkness has too much sway We afraid To lose the little pieces of light So we hang on tight To cry alone and be alone forever at night So we hang on tight We fight for our lives For our lights For survival in these darkened nights But when the world was at it's darkest I looked up to the stars When I felt myself surrounded By my demons I looked up through the skies I looked up far And I saw the starlight And it kept me alive I saw the light at the end of the tunnel So believe like I did We will be alright We'll finally be okay You don't have to bleed For the others again You should pray You should have faith Like I did Have faith in yourselves One day, one night, one evening You'll find out you were worth it One day, one nigh, one evening You'll be learning The truth that they've kept from you The knowledge that you will consume Like nothing else was true The whole world around you Collapsing Yo...

  The pillars carrying the weight Maintaining the roof above my head Crumbled under years of neglect The truth laying behind A black curtain blind Flickering in the background Like a silhouette It haunts me from back there The weakness of my resolve All my strength dissolved As I relapse into old habits The guns that I have stored For a rainy day Have broken apart slowly Day by day And I only learned recently What my neglect has caused Why my house was crumbling all along Why I found myself left all alone Thanks to my actions And my actions alone I was on my own And I chose to be so I walked a distinctive path I followed it's bright glow And didn't realize it dimmed step by step And into gloom I went Into the bright past of mine I looked Only to realize it was darkened by the end Events I had no control over But reactions that I took fully knowingly The ramifications of my responses Are now being shown to me The consequences of my actions The consequences of neglect The choices...

  Down the stream my tears did flow Through the past my thoughts did go Lingered there for long I wondered how I even held on Along the shore I walked slow Pondering the things which I know The world around me seemed to stop Like a volcano my feelings did erupt And I walked and walked Until I felt calm again The lava spewed out of me I was glad I was alone in the wilderness Along the way I met a few people Each with their own misery Each a reflection of me Each walking along the stream With only a few years in-between The time slugged along in that frame No voices to be heard Just the wild that's tamed We humans fear what we don't know We humans dare the places we'd never go We fear what we don't understand Clenched our fists, held our hands Stared down the abyss a few It stared back at us, too The fear that runs within the blood The words that have once stopped Stopped us from succumbing to The abyss below Pleaded with us to bloom Like flowers Down the stream we walk a...

 I hate leaving things unended When my garden goes untended I tend to clean the grass When my mind's backyard is unkempt I tend to break some glass And wake and smell the coffee But then again What if all that I've done Is meaningless You said you wanted to be my best friend Well go ahead You said you wanted to help me Be my guest But do tell me where you were When my pain didn't end Do tell me where you were Again and again and again I missed you presence then And now you need me to be there But I, well I needed you to be by my side for oh so long You've made mistakes Those you'll have to live with I have been working my ass off, again But why do you want it to all be Meaningless Tell me, my "best friend" To what end Do you want to reach And what will you reap When I stand again And ask you day in And day out What's your benefit Because to tell you the truth You never do A thing without looking for Some gain in return So tell me Why is it never meanin...

  As we walk through the village Hands locked together Arms touching Eyes mending We say no words But the sky speaks The eyes seek The truth within The love that we feel We do not have fears We live like there's no tomorrow Like there was never any sorrow The starlight is there to guide us For us to follow The paths that have made us Cross one another Smile in something They work so well to disguise The fact that before we came along One another we were gonna die We lived with no harmony We walked the paths alone We loved in a hegemony Lead by the mistakes of our own Past that we remember Darkness within The world surrounding us Had slowly started to dim And you and me, my dearest Refuse to break We broke apart a million times through A world in a constant war Is what we had to endure We lived like there was no tomorrow But for vastly different reasoning We were lead astray by our sorrow Almost like a meal with no seasoning Tasteless we lived our lives We did survive We walked the ...
