Weight of the Infinite

The concrete cracks and frees me
I once denied the path I’d choose
I then learned to know what could be
But I faded and refused

Your world of endless questions
The lies that make them true
I then formed my own suggestion
Your eyes can not see through

Before you see what is above you
Before you ever hope to find
The questions that you deem true
Just try and leave your mind

As I stood here staring
I stopped without a thought
It’s nothing worth me sharing
You’re too busy wondering what you sought

Believing is deceiving
Illusions are what we breathe
Our brain is just deceiving
Our love and why we leave

Whisper me your hatred
Nostalgic disrepair
The words you use are natured
Of course you really care

Fall on me with fear
Some obsessive side effects
Know it’s not why we’re here
It is our lies that we forget
