Toil and tremble

|

|
Out of sleep I shake and shiver.
I am trying to bring together
all the worlds that flash and boil
In awake I hate existence
while I love the ones around me
I am hardly here at all.
all my systems toil and tremble.
all my moments scream for living
I want all of this to leave me
but I don't want that at all

Sprawl
01:19
|

I was watching for you while the clouds were telling stories in the sky
dangling my feet and making echoes on the edge of the divide
we each were building bridges and they shined and they were wrought of iron time
there were years where nothing moved and we were tired and we were broken from the climb
when the bridge connected I felt forests in my insides growing tall
you were endless as you ran towards me laughing and I knew you wouldn't fall
when you were against me
it was as if I'd never felt at all
we held hands and left behind the chasm and walked off into the sprawl

Sun is gone
03:10
|

|
Batteries and piles of gears
plates of steel that wait to fly
fire shows flashes of the living
framed amongst the falling ash
he has rocks inside his shoes
and a ragged faded shirt
he's been walking since he woke
hasn't slept since he was born
Wind is scratching cement walls
makes discarded bottles sing
rustling papers no ones read
they have all forgot the world
he is searching for some one
so he can tell them where he's been
pocketwatch is keeping time
even tho the sun is gone

It's day again
streams of bubbles catch the light
I'll find a friend
so I can share the sounds and sights
I see the end
of currents dragging me around
I'm on the mend
my roots are blooming in the ground
I will continue to wait in the deep water.

Day is broken
04:23

Day is broken like the wolf blew it down.
Metal shapes burst into the heavens in my peripherals,
dont look.
Everything here is restless, uncomfortable on the ground.
It is all in the leaving,
I fear that when the flight takes off my skeleton will be torn from me as I am too heavy with longing to go.
I want nothing today if it is not you.
I play my old game to pass the time where I unfocus my eyes and the floor opens up,
mountains appear beneath me stark
and jagged
in electric gray skies.
I pull my bag over this and the mundane and the fantastic fight as usual.
I cant shake you, dont want to, you are everywhere,
it is not nearly enough.
I people-watch to pass time,
they all have their masks on,
but reveal their true selves through little gestures and through the eyes.
We all do our strange little dances with the world,
keeping it out or drawing it in,
skipping the line between the self we give and the one we hide.
I wish you had my eyes for so many moments that I could never explain.
