Listen to poem:
A broken record, gracefully posed in emotion
Arch of the wrist, scorched notes that came before
keys of safety, memories of old, hidden away
Digitally found glory interrupting true calling, behind closed doors
Dragging out every distraction, feet firmly planted to the floor
Smoke and mirrors running on empty
Withered feathers forgiving myself once again. "Done, what's done"
It's not about moving on; here I shall remain
What a beautiful sight you are forever in the distance
A bridge too far, Ignorance got me close... once ....Oh, how truth flows when all is lost
"Time to be in motion, life doesn't pay for itself" ...One or two answers
I would never push one's time away express till your heart is content
Just please, look into my eyes! Do not stray my focus is endless
And so, I continue to fight with or without myself knowing ...I know, of course I know... Locked away too long to not! Wondering if someone will understand this when I am finally gone? Echoes: "I've known from the beginning, just blinded by what was 'seen' as important". Until now. Curse those scratches!
....Hidden track.
Cannot block out the falseness behind it all
A crescendo of truth shatters the illusion's wall
