night swim

|
endless waves of the sea
weighing on my chest
weightless on my back
i float into a dream
here but not at all
stay awhile
inhale
steady gaze
up into the night
thoughts of doubt
drift away
here but not at all
never leave
stars and sea
elements of me
here but not at all
never leave

where are you?
i feel you around
where are you?
all around
seclusion
spending time
all alone
wallow in sadness
dwell in madness
veiled by shadows
finding repose
so exposed
where are you?
you've been here before
i've felt this before
here and gone
seclusion
spending time
all alone
wallow in sadness
dwell in madness
veiled by shadows
finding repose
so exposed
swaying in candles
whispering secrets
sharing your story
all around
oh i will
see you again
in time

after dark
02:21
|

|
where do you go
after dark?
you take my hand and
you lead me there
into the night
not afraid
into the night
not afraid
what's lurking will lead you astray
what's lurking
this way and that way
who do you know
after dark?
i close my eyes
i try to hide
what's lurking will lead you astray
what's lurking
this way and that way
faces in fog
sound in silence
never alone
followed home

shallow breathing
shaky feeling
it's hard to share when i'm
biting and swallowing
feelings
smiling and hiding
my demons
what's there?
hiding deciding
what's there?
hiding deciding your fate
subjective seeing
subconscious speaking
hiding deciding
hiding deciding
fate
hollow being
am i dreaming?
i can't compare when i'm
fighting and losing my mind
wasting and biding my time
what's there?
hiding deciding
what's there?
hiding deciding your fate
subjective seeing
subconscious speaking
hiding deciding
hiding deciding
fate
where's my love and solace?
what's my sense of purpose?
i'm smiling i'm hiding
wasting my time
losing my mind
biting
swallowing
feelings
what's there?
hiding deciding
what's there?
hiding deciding your fate

get up troy

|
take off your mask of
tragedy
what disaster
do you see?
lack of will to be
what disaster
do you seek?
distance
a tempting caress
a dagger right into your chest
a grave you dug to rest
when the moon was just a crest
resistance
a careless mess
poison in your breast
a feeling unconfessed
persistence
a power you possess
fighting regret and regress
