The Starry Skies

Odd, the limitations of individuality For it owed us a lot more than it gave Awed, I was by the saturation of formalities In this day and age Forebode, I have of my own parity To the things that I have criticized most Operating so deeply within the grey Black and white do not exist A darkness without and a light within Afflicted by the piety And pity, for those youth are impressionable till the end And I am one of them Modernity personified Within me lives the modern age, supreme But the old soul within lives forever just to defy And pretend it belongs to a part that itself, it can't gleam In the darkness, they meet and talk Lay their heads on each other's shoulders Cold and tired, through each other they find the energy To lie perfectly still and slowly smolder For I am incomplete without either piece of me And in the contempt and anger that I've perceived And allowed to grow, fester and grab hold Faster and faster, it was foretold That I'd never escape my misery But l...

Hi I haven't spoken to you in a while Everything is fine I just miss you You didn't show up in my dreams in a while And that is just fine But I really miss you I miss our talks And your hugs I miss your wisdom And your love You've left me wounded, afraid Lost in my world that's filled with friends All of which were just as young All of which could have done nothing But watch And observe as I tore myself apart Broke myself to my core And built myself a new And honestly, what for? My dearest, oldest friend My closest one in the whole world I miss you Please I miss you I miss your hugs I miss your kisses I really wish I could Live up to your wishes But I am lost And the road has found me On which I've walked Till I found the end of the street Sat there on the pavement Watching the traffic The people and vehicles The cars flying past me And I'm just there Glued, stuck in place Lost and afraid You left me, and I didn't know how to Remember you They say the first ...

  As the time stands still And you look around As the world comes to an end And starts again You search your surroundings For safe haven A place to hide in As the walls collapse As the buildings fall And all that you've worked for in the past Everything you've been building You see no fruit in it But you're resilient And you can build again and again So take heart, my dearest one And begin again As the time stands still Take a look around and analyze The world around you as it is Figure out the mistakes of the past times Learn from your faults Build again and again Become ever so lost In your craft, and yourself You're you, after all A little struggle, a little downfall Will never topple you You're a mountain, a solid state That can never be moved And an unstoppable object might come your way Every once in a while All you have to do is move yourself slightly To let it pass by Maybe keep it around you for a little bit Maybe talk to it But in the end it'll always ...

  There was a time when wind, stars, sky The whole essence of Earth combined Would be something which I am enamored by From the starry skies to the moonlight From the windy days on the quiet streets To the calm and silence that they precede The glorious moment when a memory glimpse Reveals itself through a fickle dream It is not now anymore For that was a time of yore Escaping from the wars That, battle by battle, had raged on In my mind Oh what skyward gaze that was so bright What powerful radiance that leaves us almost blind We laugh and we cry and we remain so still And still we cannot find A rest A downtime So speak to me, my winds, stars, and skies Speak to me my favourite things Which I once loved, now left behind Speak to me, recite poetry, sing Remind me of what was once divine I implore, no, I beseech you To speak and be set loose Do as you please, my dear skies My dear wind, blow us in a hurricane Descend upon us, my dear stars Crash and burn through the galaxy whole See ...

  We're going camping in the open fields Just you and me We'll talk about our past experiences Set ourselves free Like a golden dandelion flickering in the sunlight Standing tall in grand defiance In the morning we're ordinary But we're unique when we moonlight As basic individuals, strangers at times Hand in hand walking, as the music chimes Slowly pouring away the residuals of our broken hearts Slowly reforging them anew Lead me, my dearest one, to the open fields of tomorrow Let us abandon the streets of yesterday I know both of our pasts are filled with sorrow Take my hand and don't be afraid As the arrow's fire is lit, and the beacon is booming bright We'll leave behind traces for those who wish to follow And as the sparrow pyre is split in half, we'll take flight Walking blind into the embraces of tomorrow You and I are one and the same, and so different and inclined I am truly happy that you were born that day It is truly blissful that you're ...

  Ever since I learned the truth From a very young age This world is dangerous, cruel I've been afraid A loner in his shell Hiding away Shying from the darkness surrounding Wearing his masks, numbing his pain I found myself on a journey Found myself healing the wounds Fixing up the scars of others Nevermind what I've been through Just show me that burn mark That was left on your arm From all the hatred and abuse Show me where it hurts And I will do my best To medicate you Terrified I am Of walking the wrong steps Reaching a destination That I didn't plan for in the end Set me free of my worries Oh please, come and let me help Let me bask in all the glory That's found in being there for a friend Let me fly you to safety And let you walk back on your feet I am a walking contradiction A saint who's full of flaws I am full of conviction That we can patch up the holes All the trauma and abuse All the things you've been through It's safe to talk about it It's ...
