taking off
trying to escape the onset of rust
the tables have turned and now everything hurts
we're addicted to gloom and disgust
we close our eyes but we still see it
try to shut it out but we still feel sick
work through the layers
down to the rotten core
reverse the decay with a sense of purpose
a thirst for something more
dissolve
dissolve the hopelessness and dread
dissolve
dissolve the mindset that leads us to regret
the sun doesn't rise quite like it used to
the sons don't lie quite like they used to
work through the layers
down to the rotten core
reverse the decay with a sense of purpose
a thirst for something more
dissolve
dissolve the hopelessness and dread
dissolve
dissolve the mindset that leads us to regret
rewrite the script of our lives
with less diatribe and an increase in meaningful lines
no longer anxious to pick a side
'cause what good does it do when it leaves us all crippled and blind
freeze the frame
and dial back on the sorrow's pain
how desperately we want to be the change
but we forget it when we fall
we forget it when we fall
we always forget it
don't know how to manage
we claim that we're willing to fight
but we lose conviction at the first sight
longing for a role worth acting out
longing for the strength to live without acting at all
work through the layers
down to the rotten core
reverse the decay with a sense of purpose
a thirst for something more
dissolve
dissolve the hopelessness and dread
dissolve
dissolve the mindset that leads us to regret

ebb and flow
to the rhythm of the unknown
drift in dark
and become one with its warmth
and it feels just like
a lullaby
it feels just right
these waves crash and wash me away
tired of waiting for the stars to align
it's my turn to rise to the occasion
striving to be what i can't quite describe
the ghost in your heart that you're not scared to find
a presence, serene yet firmly resilient
beginning to see what our eyes cannot
a source that my mind could never hope to exhaust
a state of being left all but forgotten
waiting for them to catch on
watching for it to show up
debating what's true and what's right
debating what it means to be alive

roll the dice again
wouldn’t you know it we got snake eyes
it seems our luck has run out in the end
it’s over and we know it but we can’t let it go
at night we lie awake and comb through mistakes
looking for all of the details we wish that we could change
it’s fruitless and we know it but time hasn’t healed a thing
it all melts away after a few days
and we struggle to be who we were before
take another pull and
taste of the well we poisoned
it’s spreading and we feel it but that’s our cross to bear
retrace the steps that got us here
try to salvage the ship that we neglected to steer
it’s close but we can’t hear it our ears are in disrepair
maybe after we’re all gone
we’ll realize that nothing was all that wrong
our replacements will recognize
the only problem was with our sight
toil away
try to create something
just to fall asleep and dream of nothing
hoping someday we would be more than novelty for cheap
honestly we all saw it coming
but we grew too fond of the con we were running
now we spend our days looking for ways to cope with the cost and loss

stare until my eyes turn black
stare until it stares back
all i see is all i want to be
empty night with trails of light
calm and comforting
further down
i turn around
and stumble over my inability
further down
i feel around
and try to find that final missing piece
should i ever pause
i’d get lost in thought
and i can’t say i’d want to be found
endless push and pull left a gaping hole
that i’ve since learned how to fill
all i ever need is a place to be at peace
with a possible touch and kiss
all the people i could know but i choose to stay alone
and try to supplement what i miss
further down
i gain some ground
and triumph over my insecurity
further down
is where i found
what exactly had been calling out to me
further down
just a little bit further now
further down
nothing’s wrong i’m safe in sound

paint our eyes in the colors of their minds
give it some space and decline
all the offers to live without life
in these days when your actions mean less than what you say
it's getting difficult to parse it out and grow at your own pace
we're prone to erupt, never discuss, and block out all who don't agree
this anger we've been married to
it bleeds us dry and wilts our soul away
waste our drive
circling back around time and time and time again
erase the lines
between what it means to be at all
and what it means to be human
in these days when your actions mean less than what you say
it's getting difficult to parse it out and grow at your own pace
we're prone to erupt, never discuss, and block out all who don't agree
this anger we've been married to
it bleeds us dry and wilts our souls away
drink it up and spit it out
do what we can to get the taste out of our mouths
fill me up and spill me out
demonstrate the right path beyond the shadow of a doubt
i just want to be better than this
i think if i'm honest
my most precious flaw is
refusing to lose what most don't care to keep
what most don't care to keep

grief crushes like a landslide
flanks like a blindside
swallows me whole
a thief
a liar
a misery supplier
hook line and sink ‘til i’m cold
but not this time
i got a friend on the other side
i do not deserve to utter these words
i am the luckiest man alive
to have and to hold such a being made of gold
i’m overwhelmed enough to cry
and cry will i
peace floods like a hightide
comforts like a bedside
gifts me control
a saint
a savior
a legacy enabler
the purest of treasure i could know
and oh, it’s sublime
having his soul tethered to mine
the light of my world still burns like a fire
his frozen flames will permeate through whatever transpires
you are the sun
and i am the moon
every bit of light that i shine is reflected from you
there’s no need for goodbye
i can feel you by my side
i’m sorry for the wait
i’ll only be a little while
