where would you go?
what would you do?
where would you fly,
if you weren't chained to my
heart and my soul?
head and my mind,
i cannot help but think
how far i'd have to dig to find.
waiting for this all to explode
away from me.
away from us.
away from all those plans
i thought we had
all of you.
all of me.
all of both of us
is all that we can be.

i still won’t admit that you’re gone
after all, after all that you’ve done
loved a misfit, set a son
i still can’t admit that you’re
gone - and never coming back
gone - your light just fades to black
gone - return from dust and ash.
but so will everyone of us eventually,
including you.
you were always there when i was wrong
i guess i should be grateful the joirney was this long
you cannot cage a bird to listen to her song
you were always there, but now you’re
gone - and never coming back
gone - your light just fades to black
gone - return from to dust and ash
but so will everyone of us eventually,
including you.

if you leave
i will follow
into the blackest night.
all the way
across the cosmos
until we reach another light.
there we’ll dance
and bask in the glow
of a different sun.
there we’ll stay
and dare not go
until gravity says we’re done.
then will we be stardust again
rolling through this multiverse of ours.
you and me, no beginning and no end
don’t you know this multiverse is ours?
we have been here
so many times
so many times before.
we have changed
our names and faces
and our orbiting star.
we have lived
in countless galaxies
in an infinite of worlds.
we will go on
through this together
oh my stardust girl.

Tonight
07:23

do not fear the winding down,
we all have been since the first round.
a dimming light, a deafening sound;
to become a simple earthen mound.
do not fear the clutch of death,
with it’s infintie mass and unfathomable depths.
lumbering ‘till there is nothing left;
save the memories on another’s breath.
tonight, tonight
i’ll pay that ferryman to cross.
do not fear the blacking out.
that unavoidable feeling about
what happens to us after we cease to shout,
regardless of how we fought the bout.
tonight, tonight.
i’ll pay that ferryman to cross,
to the other side.

hello, how are you?
i hope this finds you fine.
you've made a case for the human race,
as for me, i'll need a little more time.
and i'd feel 1 in 10.
when i thought you were dancing with the dead.
now i know it was all in my head.
and i feel
all in all, and through all of this
this height of semi-permanence.
for what it's worth, and for all you've birthed,
i never doubted it was one your strengths.

for what it's worth,
it's all i can from getting worse,
and worse is all i seem to get, these days.
she's lost control
and prayers for rain won't bring her home
and home is not where her heart remains.
don't be afraid
this path you're on won't lead astray.
and i promise i'll see you down the line.
follow that light
and everything will be alright
goodbye for now and good night, good night.

Perception
08:12

is any of this real,
or is this an illusion;
percieved from something else?
are we ancient gods
raised on an institution,
to keep most of us prone?
looking for meaning in everything.
not giving credit to what transpires.
tried to find meaning in anything,
but nothing matters save for what inspires.
shut your eyes in capricorn
open them again in aries
as another self
are we angel souls
encapsulated in these bodies
trying to go home?
looking for meaning in everything.
not giving credit to what transpires.
tried to find meaning in anything,
but nothing matters save for what inspires.
i dont think it’s real,
i think they are illusions, michael,
to process what’s observed.
in a feedback loop,
of what is and what isn’t,
and separating them.
looking for meaning in everything.
not giving credit to what transpires.
tried to find meaning in anything,
but nothing matters save for what inspires.

...as I wait for that click
just to feel a moment of relief
as I wait for that click
just for a moment moment be it brief
before an eternity of white noise and black.
before an eternity of non-existence.
the rain's been pounding on the windows
in what seems like waves.
there's no such thing as the good old days,
there is only now
I want to slip right down the rabbit hole,
to let the dark cover complete.
I want to slip right down the rabbit hole
and put an end to how I breathe.
