if this were a story than i would be saying we all have a purpose, and this too would have it's purpose to decorate a colorless time frame to decorate a master plan instead a sense of wishful thinking as inconsiquential as a spark is to the stars to find and destroy it, this endless sense of helpless blues would take concentration and a sence of selflessness to pursue you oughta distract from trying just long enough to get you through before our time has come to pass away some may say it is our duty to break the illusions hold (x5)

Thistles 03:10
through thistles with barefeet im walking for you holding your memory the air smells like burning wood as gray clouds blow past and fade out like old friendships when i make it to i dont know where my plan is to hide forever and disintegrate because when distance met shame thay spoke of my devotion and how they'd like to thank me
3.
what are you sorry for? you say it so wide eyed that I know your serious we've talked up times of old too many times before this but these were just like any other time just like any other time (x2) you reach for something more to change its what your needing you've said and its the last of what you'll seek to be a better no one better no one (x2) instead of two broken hearts passionless i can see us in a crystal light i see our broken dreams strung up like half burnt christmas lights shimmering on an empty front porch always well shimmer on shimmer on (x3) you reach at something more to change its what your needing you've said and its the last of what you'll seek to be a better no one Better no one (x3)

Defeatist 05:20
given the plots a page sewn in time puts my back against the wall coaxing is only betraying this tic heart he'll lead it to fade out caliced and ashamed, i've been broken apart i caution to you as king of the defeated a legend of the dark i've tied my own noose were damaged from the start why are things built to lose is misaprehension to blame for our faults so i'm polishing my failings clad in them all, a bleeder of loves burden the scapegoat for all

these past few breaths I know have been the hardest but at least, at least, no longer will we be in this place and we will no longer have to worry about the others because they are gone, we have made it and you are free, you are free... to feel emptiness and sorrow, loneliness ang grief, depression held by intention and everything between for free it will cost you nothing because it will hurt no one go on and put on your saddest face I wanna feel my own heart's bleeding cry I wanna feel my own heart's bleeding pulse I wanna feel it bleeding to feel alive I wanna see it bleeding out for loves indulgence which feels so good father of dis-ease have you carried us long enough? is it the ocean that you breath? or is it sun and the silence of the ebb and flow of tides of which you need? or independence from everything? either way i know i'll try to persue you through frivilous insight but always remain in your wake eternal love only yields heartache you have the stars in your eyes you've set your mark on the ever fading horizon and no compass, no, no northstar could guide the way only the fluent sea and the blackest midnight sky

"it looks like this will have to end" i said to she right by my side whatever is the attitude toward the wall most often times i realize i need you now now that i realize we'll die but id push right through the golden gates and trample jesus to meet your eyes... again a dream of life thats spent in dark i wonder if the dark is life when clarity i feel inside and chaos i feel inside there never is a good state of mind of mine unless its stayed unknown such brevity were feeling now so long so long so long to our own bliss fortunate veil of everlasting life it is so fleeting and goodbye to wishing we were older now we are just sinking ships and c'est la vie to our new union permanent as it may seem it is always leaving till its gone (x4)

carry me onward southern breeze i'll follow you cautiously and without a sound swiftly we'll move as one as if i have a choice together we'll cross terrain searching for light decending through valleys with ease i will ride on the wings of a vuture with fire at my side ascend toward the blackest of night time unbound, when the blackness looks brighter we will openly recieve it halfway to heaven we were halfway out of hell but the distance was a catalyst for that to wich we belong i held you closely, i held onto the thought of you closely meanwhile i was a martyr i was a thank you bag tumbleweed blowing through the city streets till i snagged handle on your branches and now you are all that i cling to you are the only thought i feel that i'll ever need blackness you are so bright blackness you are so much brighter carry me onward southern breeze i'll follow you cautiously and without a sound my hands will be your to lead however dark the path in blindness we move about as fearless vagabonds shifting through time, disconnect from the pain we'll never cease to let go of strife and welcome in the rain, as we pass like shadows quickly move to unfold we only leave behind sorrow and grey lamentations halfway to heaven we were halfway out of hell but the distance was a catalyst for that to wich we belong i held you closely, i held onto the thought of you closely meanwhile i was a martyr i was a thank you bag tumbleweed blowing through the city streets till i snagged handle on your branches and now you are all that i cling to you are the only thought i feel that i'll ever need blackness you are so bright blackness you are so much brighter brighter, brighter, brighter

one desperate heart two trembling hands three dozen lilacs mark the heaviest path these now are all adorned on me in illuminate darkness they are as stars they are as stars (x3) reciever of the endless light who holds the sum of the moon and the stars vacant is he who knows not an end and burries his own mind in thoughtlessness you are as stars (x4)

here is a doves feather for you let it bestow progress in you take only this one thing with you to remind you of how it used to be back when you had a mother who would sing while you would sleep she sang softly beautiful daughter what i am you will be but how lonely time makes a woman let us pray you will meet no hero in bright shining armor just a man you could leave here is a lost harrowing truth use it as bone marrow to move you over the crossraods with fortitude a single doves feather is all you will lose and when you've reached that glory let it shine through you there she will be golden mother where she waited for you singing daughter beautiful daugter how these words carried you now your fading out with the music as i once had to do
10.
we left on a moments prick when we started walking the gray sky was emptiness over a palace we built when you looked at the progress and how its been named and you looked at the peoples eyes and see how theyve been changing you see how theyve been changing you said nothings wrong you say nothing at all so how long till better times is the distance worth the buring of every bridge as we cross them we are stranded as we cross them we are stranded but you said nothings wrong you say nothing at all

patient psychology the latency that is your life is made up plight ancient astronomy every star that spangles spans the night in search of some light if what you are is deathless, endless, infinity nothing short of timeless happening then somehow black you dont look so black anymore in fact you look much brighter and your waiting for my hands to be out stretched then youll take them and we'll blend before i do can i ask of you blackness is everything wove in your pattern and am i forever or am i doomed its severing everything youve known its severing everything youve loved its severing everything youve owned its severing everything youve lost and it takes a lot to notice what is going on and it takes a life to know just how to let it slide from the point of view thats pointing at self preservation who is who and who's the voice who wants to carry it on battery heart acid light, air, noise around disintegration disintegrate as i speak we are flowers we are living life as weeds we are flowers we are flowers
