Idk

Taste of words written for those who listen
Forked tongues taste the better juice
Yet feel the harsher fate when plates are filled
With poison problems

 forked tongues will engorge 
with mediocrity and acts of simplicity
To suffice themselves stupid

Docile is the newest dance move
Most of you know it by heart

the hands of the abscent minded 
The arms of all lost art

Desire seeming deceiving 
Seeing everything you've ever wanted

Intangible dreams 
produce 
Manifestation Queens

Feet fuel me forward 
to the door of destinations

Finding my face again
Patience with important paces 

Places appear forever changing
Together with my thoughts I'm not alone here
Fear is a mask failure wears to fight u
The eyes of your enemy are your own despite you


Flowers fall after it rains its blue
The sun peaks thru the clouds
  silhouettes the shapes and hues

Counting all the pieces of floating particles
Floating weightlessly in the air spectacular
Unimaginable number counted gazing and astounded

Wondering past realms of ones existence
Escaping the bonds of brainwashed bullchet

Releasing the grip on the chain of no choice
Finding the medium of the choas in ur voice

Truth is never trivial, trial tested truth
Decievers truth is tailored 
fit for ones selfish use

Painisreal

Everyday I'm stuck
 in between a living nightmare 
and the path I'm paving to happiness...

And the pain I feel is real 
just like the mistakes I made
 that got me here 

And there's nothing more
That I hold dear

Than the only thing 
Thats missing here

And Here's an understatement
I'm doing better now
 than I was before

Really lucky to be living
Sitting here breathin
And not dead on the floor

And even though I've changed 
and i thought I crossed the finish line

It doesn't change the damage done
Doesn't bring home my only son

Lucidity is now my state of mind
Where I feel hate for myself
for choices I've made over time

I'll tell myself to keep trying
 Because it probably does 
mean something

And I won't give up 
doing the next 
best thing

 even though getting there
 seems so far away 

Because I want to believe I'll be happy
If I do all these things

Because if not life sucks and has no meaning.

Fleshed Ripped From Your Beating Heart

Time is floating, slowly Leaving me
Time is fleeting, as it should be
Colors arranging themselves in the shades of light
Darkness feeds off your fears at night
You thought you could escape it, your a silly fool
But all your demons live inside and use u as a tool

Yes, you should've seen it from the very start
Best to feel the flesh ripped from your beating heart

Drowning in a dark pool of blood soaked misery
Can't you not escape your own minds memory
Can't you not find solice in your own minds cell
happiness is hard to find here in hell
trying new locations frustrations swell
how is it pain always follows me with patience 
and I end up my own worse enemy 


Yes, you should've seen it from the very start
Best to feel the flesh ripped from your beating heart

Using advice as thread cant sew the dead
Cant use time for money make u broke dummy

 might end up dead and broke choke on the truth you brought forth 
might end up rich off the food for thought u sought after
whose to say what the cards have in store for u
and whose to say u aren't dealer either 

Yes, you should've seen it from the very start
Best to feel the flesh ripped from your beating heart
