The Starry Skies

As I walk down the alleyway Music blasting in my ears I cross the street Bopping my head all the while Not a care in the world Wondering where I am My feet carried me thus far alright I keep my head held high My gaze focused on the road on which I walk I wonder how far I can go With the stuff that always follows in my wake There, I look and see a friend Turn off my music and approach Shake the man's hand Smile and wonder where we'll go today I just nod a few, don't have lots to say The timing is always strange The sky is full of clouds Where did the sun go Damn, it's already past sunset I've been walking on for a handful of hours Did not even come to realize I look back on the road that I've been on A wonderous sense fills the air, I'm not upset anymore Nor do I hide or cower from the things I know I used to be an idiot, and thought I was wise Just laughing now at the most childish of jokes We reach our goal Shake hands with the rest of the group The music i...

  I stared upon the stars From which the man within was born I trailed the path towards That place that I once called home Thunder-stricken are the skies When I peered upon the real essence of my soul Staring upon the hourglass The time trickling sands Wondering where the top half's gone I've got nothing more to look for Trailing an unending path Searching for a home Looking for a place to lay my roots I've grown beyond the naivete that I once exhibited I no longer sit in dark places and brood I look for a light in the end of the tunnel In which I feel nothing new I've got no more hunger now To see where my road will go But I must keep walking on Till the better end I stare upon the hourglass The time trickling sands And I think to myself again I wonder what time the time-tricking hands will strike tonight Or where they've decided to pause I don't believe that time waits like that Not for the likes of me Hence why I must walk Through death and misery Hence why I...

  Sunless, endless day A blister of fire Emanating from my gaze With no desire The world's ending around me, yet I stagnate There's no change The world's shifting, ending Everyone's ascending A higher self that they become Or descending back Into a primitive form All around me are husks Dire representations of the former self All walking a path in this endless dusk Seeking absolution or wealth Everyone carries their sins Whether they know it or not Yet I remain myself Stagnating till the end Under the sunless skies The world's on fire in my eyes Everyone carries their sins Whether they know it or not I walk among the masses Staring at their inner clashing As they're tearing at the seams Without even knowing so They must atone for what they've done Or they'll go all the way For what's done is done Some just care not We see each other occasionally in the crowd They see me like I see them As if we're a pair of keys in a lost & found box With an ...
