We Love You Kyle Hollis! Stay Spicy!

My life is playing out on the movie screen And I'm watching from the front row Trying not to scream Holding back tears and trying not to hydraulic press my grinding teeth into my plato gums while cowering What good is inspiration If you know it's just gonna fade into oblivion? I must be watching in 3-D ‘cause the overwhelming grief jumped out at me! So badass to say "I'm taking this to the grave!" But all you had was a tissue in hand And one marvelously disappointing revenge plan And that makes two things that won't see the light of day anymore Were you leading the prayer Or was it your anger? Were you shoveling the dirt, Or were your fingers, but as a sacrifice counter? Trying not to fracture but you're made of broken porcelain and promises My biggest letdown; Only seeing the cracks once I already caved in Sagacious ships seldom cross the finish line When all they're seeing are reflections and mercurial skylines It's not a party until the limo arrives And I made a promise to never be late, But it’s not a party if everyone shows up on time I might have manufactured this resistance But I'm no engineer I follow trails to find own adaptive ways To rebuild, relive, and reprogram You're crashing but you're not a sedan More like a train that's gone off the rails Or a aquaphobe that's gone off the deep end You’re crashing but you’re no heart rate monitor Here’s to our unspoken oaths of hoping we’re on the same page, Let alone the same chapter Pests at every gutter bend, but best friends until we get girlfriends I only want to ease your capricious mind Lets rebuild, reapproach, and definitely reprogram
