Nine years, nine months
Time is a missile
They've come, they've gone
You remain here now
Pure, brotherly
Intentions simple
Yet so complex
In some 'big picture?'
More like some Hell
Elusive ideals,
Morals, values.
Prosperity burns
Fake war, real pain
Suffering suffer
The rest go on
Who can give two fucks?
Technology
Kills what beckons us
Pretty colors!
No internal needs
The beat goes on
The pulse pounds higher
You're forgotten
Ignorance is bliss
Yet through the flames
A sight for glazed eyes
Your smile, your laugh
No cares in the world
You haunt my dreams
The fire cracks louder
How missed you are
And she'd love
Five feet's not enough, so he has to dig deeper
And stare directly in to the eyes of the Reaper
He stares at the sky as the clouds tumble over
Familiar feelings flourish; those of a self-loather
He peeks over the edge and sees a brother through the fog
The brother turns away, so he begins to sob
Tears fall from his face and pound down into the earth
Each one carrying with it more of his self-worth
He continues his digging, this time more thorough
But stops when he sees what looks like a burrow
He peers in closer at the hole in the wall
Something startles him so much he stumbles back and falls
He sees teeth sunk into his lip, which
They say dogs see in only black and white
How I wish that humans could be the same way
Because all of the gray we find ourselves in
Seems to leave us empty and depraved
It's not a matter of whether you're bad or good
Seems like it's always somewhere in between
It makes it making a decision
About who you are is just plain obscene
You think about your past and all of the bull shit
You think you should be stuck there or completely let go
But memories still haunt you even though they seem ancient
And what you thought was old news once more is a foe
You look at the life that you're choosing to lead
Your friends, your family, your hobb
Say it again, Mom
Just one more time
Tell me how I'm wrong
To say what I say
Make more excuses for him
The problems that still ring
Haven't yet been rationalized
Enough for me to accept the b.s.
From the way he would drink
From the way he acts proud
From the way he doesn't work
Yet heckles my 'low ethic'
I don't want to hate him
I almost want to respect him
But it's not going to happen
I've lost all hope for us
So seldom do I feel at home
Or I'm at the place I truly belong
And since finding that place is rarely condoned
To even ponder over that place seems wrong
Many die never finding this place
This very thought saddens me far beyond tears
Happiness gone without even a trace,
Flying with ignorance through all those years?
There are also those who reach this goal
But don't ever come to this realization
To me, they may as well not have a soul
Their lives no more than an abbreviation
And then there are those who turn out like me
Who sincerely believe they know where home is
Whose lives feel fuller than a fat man post-spree
And would tra
I'll never forget
The late night walks way 'cross town
All the time spent at that Wal-Mart
I think we could have lived there
You don't know what that meant
When my life had had me down
I wish I could just push restart
And go back to where we were
But with you gone
It feels wrong
To try and move on
And let go of those years
New Year's Eve at Lance's
Playing Rock Band, drinking Dews
And talking in the sun room
About the zombie invasion
We'd take so many chances
We were never afraid to lose
Somehow we had groomed
A flawless situation
But with you gone
It feels wrong
To try and move on
And let go of those years
I see it a
Theres gravity to this situation
Hope is drifting farther away
But our minds are on vacation
What is with this generation?
Weve much to feel, but nothing to say?
Theres gravity to this situation
Were in a bleeding population
More and more problems everyday
But our minds are on vacation
We cant accept some blind sedation
We cant let all hope go astray
Theres gravity to this situation
It appears the ends our only salvation
This is truly NOT okay
But our minds are on vacation
Theres gravity to this situation
We have to stand up for life today
But out minds are on vacation
I'm not gonna yell
I ain't gonna scream
It's not a big deal
No need for a scene
You broke a piece
Off my backseat
And if someone is hurt
It will not be me
But then there's the fact
That ya really didn't care
Not even an apology
When I told you, you stared
It prob'ly don't matter
To you in any way
It's not your car, right?
What should you say?
But two days after
When it was CLEAR it was you
You decide to deny it?
Really? That's what you do?
I forgave without a 'sorry'
And you do less than requite?
Well, I've got to be frank
That's a load of shit
I wish to be at peace
And see Him in the sky
Or something close at least
My brothers are deceased
I had no chance to cry
I wish to be at peace
Ive been stripped of Golden Fleece
I should have long since died
Or something close at least
Ive tamed my inner beast
Who beckons me to try
I wish to be at peace
My hatred is obese
Acceptance gone awry
Or something close at least
I am on deaths crease
I fully regret why
I wish to be at peace
Or something close at least
