Any Port In A Storm

Someday this image of you
Will fade until it wears out
As the colors slowly fuse
Joints of this ship will be wrought with the tension
Returned to the earth
I will sink down again
Tides recede
Calm before the storm
The gravity of circumstance feeds the undertow
I fear I'm lost
I fear you're gone now
The glow is fading fast
Nothing in this life is meant to last
These waves envelop my heart whole
I watch from afar as shorelines in the distance erode
This vessel decays from damage they left in their wake
I cannot bear this pressure anymore

Flicker Out

I swear I just don't understand
You claim it was all in my hands
I lost control
I lost control
With no recollection I watch the plot unfold
Retracing ny shortcomings back to their source
Found a reflection of myself
It's all the same and I'm the one to blame
Film frames
Figures flash on the screen
Hold still
Capture this memory
I lost control
I lost control
Every moment coming back
The story starting to make sense
I see you flicker out
Light starts to bleed across your face
Everything is wrong and I'm the one to blame

Navelgazing

Here I lay restless
Too anxious to unwind
Spun into circles
Still, with my hands aligned
Searching for the difference
Between mirth and misery
I ache for the pain to subside
Writhing in my sleep
This bedframe creaks
Fantasize ways to escape
Alone
I'm alone again
Here I am, I've given all the energy I have
Exhausted, spent, fatugued
I leave you with one last request -
"Be the strength I lacked
And carry on in spite of this,
Though I can no longer wrap my arms around you now
I leave you with a kiss"

Cut the ties that salt your wounds
Enamored with those who never truly cared about you
You'll be on your own again soon
Face made of porcelain
Pallid with fear, you're wearing thin
Shatter to dust, it's more than you can take
Delicately crack under the weight until you break
You're wasting all your time
You cannot help yourself
There's a flaw in your design
All you ever want is to thrive
But now you're fucked up and falling apart
Separate yourself
Setting your pieces oit of place
Structure weakening
Begin to cave
Time is going to waste
You were once so familiar
Now you can hardly even recognize yourself anymore
Will you ever be the same?
You're wasting all your time

Ephemeral

I am so ashamed
Buried in your arms like a grave
Martyred in this marble surface
Etch my name
I will never show my face
I will never show my face
Forms and solemnities
Feel me waste away
Hold on tight
I am withered, barely I remain
Hold on tight
I am withered, I am still awake
If everything is ephemeral
Why can't I just let myself go?
Falling face first into your embrace
Self-destruction - my saving grace
I am desperate all the same
A fleeting sense of comfort
And a constant need to escape
I am an afterthought
But after all I brought this on myself
Bury me
Bury me
Marble surface etch my name
Etch my name
This marble surface - etch my name
Left beside myself
I'm mired in abject confusion
I feel alone in this place hopelessly disillusioned
I will never show my face
I will never show my face
I will never show my face
Why can't I just let myself go?
