When you can almost touch,
Hear, see, and live

A face white, long,
Two red dots on the forehead above the eyes
And the face moves closer
Like its homming in on you
Under water
Alive

Your loved ones aren't apart of you physically
If you leave they can stay if they choose

Everything happens for a reason
The entire world around happens exactly
As it is supposed to
God has it pre-planned out
Why something didn't work
Why something else did
Why we meet and your opinion

I think because the circumstances are exactly right
My entire life is already planned out
I just live in it
My body and facial features are beyond my control
And everything I do
Is what my body was doing at that time

So all the crap is involuntary
Meant to be something of a nobody
Even if I were I would still be nothing

Five letters on page spell
C-R-A-I-G
So by all means tear out the page and set it on fire
Just let me sleep, free of me
After all you can't feel through glass
Especially when you're prefectly numb


Doing the same thing a million times in a row will definitely affect your head.  Read and pratice and read and pratice and read and prati........ead a

Can't burn it...it's already on fire!
Take those five letters, tear out the page, and fold them into a rose with five petals...one for each letter.
Guess what...your life is not planned out, my friend. Sure, the great Storyteller of all knows all, but that doesn't mean He interferes with your free will. You come by what you know by your own doing...what is it they say, life is only a series of actions and consequences? The thing about C-R-A-I-G being on fire is the world better watch out! I think He's letting you do your thing your way, for the betterment of all!
I do agree with Hollow, as you are an inspiration.


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

this one stung a bit. but i identify with a lot of it.
i agree with purity with the exception of one thing; that paper you begged to burn, when folded (cause i tried it), turns out to be a white carnation... blah, i know; you're making me cheesy...lol
good one, c-r-a-i-g!

i'll always need a friend, one i can defend.

Thats both of you.  Wow.  I totally felt like crap when I wrote that and you both flipped it inside out.  And the fire thing yeah I guess its the burning sensation that rattles my head.  Like a green..., orangish flame,...  yeah...
A carnation?  How long did that take?  lol.  Thats funny.  You guys rock and from what I hear literally.

Thank you michael.  I have no idea how to underline and italicize, I'm willing to bet its a cut and paste thing.  Which reminds me I wrote a song called Cut and Paste and I don't think I ever posted it.  Maybe I will.
