When you have the world to gain
All your dreams, hopes, and desires
Promises from a real heart

It makes me sick
The fine line that slices you in half
Like a flickering flame
A tease from passion mixed with fear

The truth within site
Where chaos moves in
One moment at a time
A large scale rotting effect
Faith before the ignorant

A secret desire to end it all
"But I can't..."
Love and hurt, love in hurt, loving hurt
Numb, who I am
Watching your blood flow
Something new and fine lines soaked in red

Something to look forward to
Someday, far away
Telling you sweet things
Explosion and a face
Something for you, but first...
I shouldv'e known and anticipated the bad
Especially while looking for, doing, and trying to do good

Pity party
Mock me
Curse me
Arrogant mouths
Faithless soul
Break
Within
Wicked fake

...and the way things are goin, they're gonna crucify me.  -The Beattles

Amen, Brother Greeny!
This goes to the top as one of my faves of yours. And I so strangely relate to it. You did an extremely great job of conveying some sentiments I've had trouble putting into words as of late. Awesome, dude.

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere
