De lacey,
Take back your eyes,
You miss too much.
The monster runs loose,
You could have stopped him had you only seen.
You cry wolf again and still no one comes,
Yet the fire still burns.
Peter isn’t here to fend off this one with his pop gun.
The smell of fresh cut lilacs get replaced
With that of morning napalm
Lacking only the war to surround it.
The minds jagged teeth never bite straight.
Did you hit another false bottom
Or has the free-fall finally stooped your heart?
The breadcrumbs were long ago eaten by crows,
So i spend most days walking in circles
Looking for jacob’s ladder;
Instead i follow in dante’s footsteps,
Down is always easier than up.
Pick up the blade of tomorrow
Sever the edge between before and after,
Escape the abiding place,
Open the cage and let the doves fly free.
The best things in life can’t be taken,
Only given.
Where do you go once the albatross drops off
But the doors remain closed;
You're not locked out,
Instead you’re locked in.
Am i drinking from an empty well
Or was the water always for someone else cup.
The end came before the beginning,
The crash before the sunday drive;
You never woo the wall
It just keeps listening
Waiting for you to lose your voice.
How many more days
Running from ghosts
And chasing phantoms,
How many more nights
Of looking into the abyss,
For questions there are no answers to.
No rest until you accept
You never stood beneath william tells apple,
The arrow missed its mark,
The bell never rang,
No doc brown to fix the clock tower
Its arms are broken now.
I don’t like chasing unicorns;
Hermes can have his shoes back
They no longer fit.
The dream strangles me now,
Leaves me lifeless on the floor
Waiting for the next chapter to begin.
I need someone
Who doesn’t want to live off narcan,
Who wants to put all the eggs in one basket,
To have the cake and eat it to.
What i want
Only comes from the big bets
Because if you only risk
What you’re willing to loose
Then you never win
More than you were willing to risk.
