The Love

Forever float the mourning
Phantom angels with no warning.
Breathe the love – light and darkness prevails.
Faking sparks on a nose grind,
You’ll catch dust trying to chase time
And lead an endless nightmare,
Destined to fail.
Don’t leave me hanging on a scream,
Hugging the side of a dream
That never had a chance of ever coming true
But only turning blue inside a lie again.
Stop trying to pretend the world’s at an end
With prayers for bombs to descend on local trends,
With prayers for comets to come and shatter our homelands,
With prophesies of plates falling to the eyes of Zen,
‘Cause as the world comes down
Your heart will scream this sound
But none of the dreams you restrained will ever carry aloud.
Tell it now.

We’re self destructive.
In this life we crave our need.
We’re so careless.
We shed the tears of time while we all bleed,

And so I shine through my enlightenment
I smile for my life
And breathe the love ‘cause light and darkness prevails.
Even when death does its part
I’ll meet you there at the start,
Turn my pain into an art and shed my time without bail.
Don’t leave me washed up on the scene,
Hugging the side of a dream
That has the faintest chance of ever coming true
For me as well as you.
I dropped away the envy ‘cause I’m all that I will ever be,
Balanced peace, integrity,
And discipline - they'll lead me to a higher path of victory.
I cherish these grounds,
‘Cause as the world comes down
We will embrace the sound
Before the tears we restrain lull us to drown,
In our account.

History is just an exchange of glances,
Caught up in the moment of when we had our dances,
Propagating bullshit and headstrong advances
(Win, lose, or draw, we all take our chances).
Discovery broadens the height of imagination,
But evolution has become a modeled masturbation.
I’m dropping my guns, glory, and procrastination;
This life is what it is and we are only one nation.

    You made me laugh - But evolution has become a modeled masterbation

    I like the sentence - History is just an exchange of glances. Yes, this life is what it is
