The Wolf Howls At Night

The wolf howls in the night
To this day I'm not certain why

Maybe because the pack is asleep
Maybe time passed him by

Maybe because he lost a soulmate
Maybe because of the food that he ate

Maybe because he defended his own
Maybe because he just feels so alone

Now the last one is tough cuz there's others around
But when the dust clears no one there holding down

So when the moons full he just picks his head high
Catch a glimpse of the moon sheds a tear and then cries

Calling to those who are feeling the same
Through circumstance strange, or they are to blame

The wolf howls in the night that is true
Because I am the wolf and the moon, that is you

The Foundation

To take the place of greatness you build and create
You give and you take but the outcome is great
To build up a castle it takes up the time
I have to relax
I have to unwind when I'm feeling this knot that shoots pain through my spine 
and the emptiness flows through aquarius signs
Though we're star crossed lovers you ask for the time
So I'm standin at bedrock and can't help but cry when the resources cut just the land will survive
Too battered to grow but to nice for the temple
Foundation of life, house of zen supplemental
You ask what you miss and they give you a smile
And say to be great you must walk one more mile
Where the angels will dance while they fall in the trial
Of the pothead who thought he could change as a child
To the one who played games never changed he was wild
To the core he was bored so he ruined the style
that would build up his castle and then he repent
As I walked down the road though, an angel was sent
She said to redeem and be free from the lies
And the only real way you will feel peace inside is to give up your soul and reenter the light
And help all you can everyday til you die
The heart in the open its rotten inside
So I gave it to her to be safe through the night
And I wandered the dawn and I reached the twilight
I sigh to myself cuz this cannot be life
Lifes what you make it though lifes only basic
Your mind is your castle
You're that close to greatness

Open Letter

they're never gonna miss you til you're gone 
but your song will carry on
through the tunnel of despair 
i will rise as Terance Bron
delt the hand that i was plaid 
and i stayed different in my ways 
although i never got to say 
thanks for granting what i want

i don't wanna leave escaping from the prison that i make 
i'll do the time for any crime of life my mind made me create 
i fell hard i'll admit and i can't say that i can leave 
until im standing like a soldier trade the gun for olive leaves

branch away from the negative so long as you see me
as a destructive force of good who'll make you better than i'll leave 
i wanna say a proper speech and then i'll practice what i preach
and exorcise the demons in my closet steady taunting me

i don't wanna go away and see my face upon the news
because i knew i couldn't take it and i had nothing to lose
or i'm in a territory saying words that i would use
and lose my life because i'm different talking to a walking fuse 

i don't wanna be that person thats completely out of range 
i love you so and i am not prepared to handle all the change

i don't wanna be the person that will always let you down
though my words were always sharp i swore i'll always be around

i dont want for her to win and see me leave while looking down
when she has everything i wanted just because she let me go

i just don't wanna leave in ways that i don't even know
if i don't pull out all the weeds in time i'm never gonna grow

but i look at all the seeds 
i've affected all my life

all the friends and enemies
all the pain and all the strife

i don't wanna clean the slate
put some more upon my plate

so i have to leave a final gift to you

    with love,
Horton the Great

Dreams

Is it okay to want to leave it all?
I take off my skin and rest for a few days
Collecting my doubts and fears
Underlying insecurities 

I'm beginning to feel as though i'm not worth saving

I've given up on the pursuit of chasing my own happiness
One can guess that's why I've fallen yet again
I close my eyes upon this revelation

Just a few hours

My eyes open in a space where nothing really matters.
 Walking around this blissful space i come across one thing: a chair

As i sit in this chair i dream
A dream within a dream
Of everyone i loved wishing me well 
And then they're turning away from me

If they all have faith in me why don't i have the capacity to pick myself up from my fears of inadequacy and incompatibility 

My breathing stops

My eyes jolt open and i find myself in the blissful plane
There's people in my space
But i don't know their names
I try reaching out but they wont let me trough 
No one is hearing me 
I don't know what to do

Now i'm pacing back and forth lost in a world only i live in
I wanna be there for them 
I wanna see them smile
They need to understand 
I will be here a while

Back in oblivion dreaming about 
That dream I'm in finally hit the ground 
I can feel reality giving in

Wearily on my side decide where i don't want to stay
With a simple thought in my head

Just a few days...

2:39

Maybe just maybe you don't need to explain
He understands human emotions to know why you came
That troubled look on your face says that you feel the same 
But scared once we've finished he'd play the blame game

All the same you've arrived with that look in your eyes 
Determination piercing 
He's seen through the lies

You're lost and you've wandered your way here to him
The person you love
Who you don't want to see

All it takes is three steps

The first step is the hardest you'll
Play it again
The day that you chose to turn back on a friend
Your justifications And reiterations 
You felt he was wrong through the whole conversation
You'll remember why he had that surprised look on his face when he opened the door to see you

The second step is to endure
What did you hope to accomplish by turning your back on a benefit
Was it worth it to work on what now is irrelevant?
The tears that you cried
All the times that you've lied thrown to the wayside 
To stand here as a revenant

He's not going to hear any form of excuse 
From the person who seemed to get kicks in abuse
To love all the wrong just for something of use
To say men are the same when its those that you choose

You will hear this

Every word that comes after is pure and sincere
Though sharp as a blade
It's wise as a seer
Through calm disposition these words will now sear at the weak sensibility you seem to hold dear

The third step is left in the air

She doesn't know if she wants to make it
Her voice is now broken with no way to fake it
In truth the mistake was she knew she could take it
The promise still stands she just can't bear to break it
But something happened
The gap has been removed

He took that last step for he can't bear to lose 
The feeling that ate at the pit of his rage
The possibility to hold hands til old age
To love and to smile he holds on to the day
She stands there amazed as he feels his embrace

He whispered in her ear the promise is fulfilled
We'll meet up halfway love
That was the deal

Right There

i never asked for you here
but i wanted you there
ask me why do i care 
but thats a mystery there
all through the years i've been up for being mischevious
and all the while you did your own thing being permiscuous
but when we link up
i feel the passion it's rediculous
the partners in crime lost in the times
...or so in my mind

thats how the story repeats i never knew it 
but it's harde to make decisions in life when you're going through it 

you did everything to make me smie
spoiled me just like a child
i've soiled all my plans and while that happened i felt better

how a video call could make you think you have it all
i'm so happy with my care so i will catch you when you fall

if i can't walk by your side i will stumble til i crawl on my knees asking jesus don't you change a thing at all

thats the feeling just in case you would care
i never asked for you here 
but i still want you right there

Answers

What's the point wake up in the shadowless world 
A sunless sky
I ask you now why should I try
why should i buy into all of the things people find so worthwhile
why do i want to be so different?
i can hear the music

through my window i could hear the world
trap music plays 

im more accustomed to the andre 3000 sounds so i mostly stray away
i tighten my bowtie and welcome the night 
take a shot of the whisky and begin to write
of the wrongs that i've done and my dreams of the light

its only then that my sun will rise
i smile at the light 
it's nothing more than a welcoming call
i'm so close to my goal 
but im not there at all

my body becomes possesed with unimaginable drive
to think two months ago i didn't want to be alive

i made plans of my death
never though of suicide 
just a victim of the world 
who would not let me survive

but that was the stress and anxiety im depressed because i though that i was good
and my friends said i was less
so i'm locked in my room to protect everyone 
because i long for one person
who was never gonna come

why should i try and buy my way through life?
most likely because i know that i could do right
because i could possibly fill you with light 
because of the whisky or because i feel right
regardless of the answer i'm so proud of my fight

Kiss From a Rose

As I embrace this rose the thorns piercing my flesh 
tells the story of a heart break that's nothing like the rest I stress 
she loves me less and less 
A blessing turns into the embodiment of my fears with no lesson
And not a word from a friend will it lessen
I overload and burst the stress out with dreams of ridin hearse makes me fear for my future
When dreams turn reality you only fear the kruger
But me I fear the ruger that is palmed by
Those with fold arms 
exposed to the same style of the clothes you throw on
And with that I wonder what you're dying to see
Someone elses face when the one that's really dying is me
I don't fear any man except the one in the robe 
Who's all bones with a sickle snakes for the brain
Takin me sane and leaving my brain
And wake up in a place where I forget where I came
But that there's heresay but I don't wanna see change 
So as I miss the piercing pain
I will kiss the rose
the thorns they stay, the hearts exposed

Ocular Fixation

Looking in her eyes
i see the brightest light to burn the skies
and wondered how i lived without her

a smile that would make me wanna start to say she opened up my heart
but then again i wrote it all in a letter


she makes my flaws so small
said you'll never have it all unless you own up to the things that make you tick

and ever since then i've been press set on building my respect so when we meet again you could be my chick
real shit

i don't wanna say i love you
and join in the abuse of the word that would best describe you
alternatives i try to but those are simply lies boo

i just wanna hide you
but you'll never shine so the freedom i''l provide
so that i could feel the pride
of that glimmer in your eyes

when you've gotten all you want
i just wanna hear you say tht i've been there from the start

Reflections

i'm all alone
but theres a stranger in my home

whenever i confront this person glass flies everywhere
i've learned to walk through the house with a broom

i sit in my room designed as a tomb
could i leave?
should i?

even if i go out to this world i can't see the point
if loving alone is so perfect why doesn't everyone do it?

they say i have to better myself but it seems that there is nothing i can do to improve
i'm bitter chip on my shoulder misconscrewed as being rude 
but i just want to get this stranger out of my house

watches me as a brush my teeth and put my clothes on for work
smirks at my coworker who called me a jerk
and ducks the one i want unkowing of my own worth

i could get rid of every mirror in my house but thats a temporary solution
doctors medications a coward resolution

fist full of pills is a means of escape 
and suicides lame because more pain it creates

i just want him to leave because i'm forgetting who i am
well was, he's already taken a grip on my life
fake smiles and tears every night
i'm losing my friends going nowhere in life

i used to be strong through the pain and the strife
walk up to a girl and say you are my wife
with so much charisma she'd say i was right

now i'm scared to let anyone in
because they would see all the pain that i'm in
how badly i wish i could take off my skin
or reset my world just to try it again

i hate this stranger when i found out the truth
i say it is me 
he said i am you
