Ripple Effect

Riding tides since creation Unfamiliar sensations Looking back to see my face All is void black filled future Ignorant of our true nature Riding this wave of confusion Feeling the ripple effect I cant defect this mold Thick as steel bars Crashing cars or distant waves Whos to say what is Stay in delusion Deny our inclusion nails rip from scratching To the bone you're still you You're still them their breath on my neck I loath their ardent wants Their blood still mine All inclusive somewhere down the line Somehow still We cant relate Void travels forward no destination Fate stay close to the hope i see When my eyes close knowing i may be blinded by it The void prevailing always Onward staying corse Still ridding the ripple effect Looking back its all the same Me riding the wave like a mirror facing itself One after another Slowly Growing fresh with life Im focused on you now The great you that you dont know Looking back i melt involuntary A force pushing me flat unmovable I cant fight it i cant save you Cant i? We danced while we stepped To the beat of a gavel both on trial Guilty in some way or another A blue Chevy with an empty seat Regardless of whos in it. I know you enough to say i didnt That doors closed now But still i ride that fricking wave And i still look back seeing If i misbehaved seeing me still the same Not knowing where or how or when Its all the same like autumn Watching leaves fall from the first to a thousand times touching my face all the while growing insane by the constant change but none at all Ill held you once i held you forever An embrace we're laced with fear Our love dwindling down to walks and books With looks seeing symmetry we're beakers You and i Measuering us up to see if you want to see the leaves change together With or with out it though its all the same Were all the same wanting the same Knowing the void only from the start to the finish we are finished at the start doing our part riding the ripple effect its inescapable. So ill ride the wave with no more questions or complaints with no more then what is. whoever stares from the front or follows i am what i am, if even that. l'appel du vide! I shout to see the end whenever however. i dont care about the cause anymore i cant fight the wave forward backward, im patient seeing enough to know i wont know im certain of that just as im sure as I forget to look here and now still.... riding the ripple effecf
