act 3: the fire and the earth.

burn it all away,
she sits with the flame glowing brighter and brighter
the calling of fire,
setting free, setting free!
down by the water, we await the slaughter
of sin and all its splendor.
this all seems so eerily familiar
the house is coming down, to preach
and to worship, and dictate what is right.
sitting there, match in hand
waiting for the pain to go away,
though it causes more pain.
but a lifetime seems so much more hurtful
than a couple of minutes
yet she sits still hoping for someone to intervene
to care, or even accidently
intrude upon this sacred event.
a boy: hanging in his closet, still conscious
and his feet are calling for the ground,
like a child, calling for its mother.
it goes round and round again and again.
and the blackness sets in.
"set forth on your path. aim for the world" she cries!
"take nothing less than the best from everything and everyone!" he bellows to the heavens
and the two become one.

act 2: the water and the road

home becomes a void.
this is not a life one wishes to lead,
or even has the slightest hope for.
it becomes nothing more than
another sleepless night
followed by the creeping sounds
of the ending of the times.
you've lost your purpose,
you're going down with this ship
farewell to the surface,
its nothing you're not used to by now.
he's so far gone, held on for much too long.
the captain yells, "abandon ship"
but he's not listening,
this is his home he wont leave it to rot all alone.
this is the way
this is the path
this is the post humanist effort
falling away into the stream
of digression, building up
building up
building up on all this closure

part 1: Arise

these changes in this little world
almost unnoticed by all,
but felt so severly by one.
its falls without a pattern,
and without any reason to believe
or to become something more.
it falls because it has given all it has.
breathe this in and out, feel it enter and leave
evade the ground, embrace the sound
when the world ends for her,
we will all know
because she is the center of it all,
when her world ends so will all of yours.
enter through the open gate
remember the grass grazing against your feet.
there is so much left to give,
but no one is willing to take
it falls because neglect has overtaken its face.
the leaves are falling outside,
autumn is so near.
pushing through it, believing it all.
this is everything, there is nothing more
there is no other chance to do this right,
burn away all these thoughts and malices.
set the flames humbly, engulf the world with your hate.
ARISE FROM THESE ASHES
AND FOREVER HOLD NO REGRETS.
she is the center of it all.

setting out

believe in this
that at the end of the day
the vindicated will sleep easy
while the rest of us toss and turn
i think i'll head north,
towards a promising winter
where the sky is so much thinner
so i might be able to hear your voice
in the dead of night
staring at the stars wishing you were in my arms tonight

believe in this
one day we'll leave this town, forever.
the night will be ours
and we'll feed eachother
lines from all our favorite songs
become one with the road
until we find a place to call our own.

i'm never going to let go
your eyes lock into mine
and i know that we're gonna be just fine
i'll believe in you, if you believe in me
i know down deep inside
i'll never love anyone again
you're last thing i fall asleep to
and the first thing i awaken to
nothing can ever be as perfect as u and i
are when we look into each other's eyes
holding you against me
is the closest i've ever felt to home
