The day will soon draw near
When our clay feet will crumble
The pedestal we were on
Melted away from right beneath us
The tried and true methods
Are now antiquated
You catch the bottle I’ll catch the train
And take it into the sunset
Let’s go:
To the place so often dreamed of, we’ll fly away at last
And hide ourselves from the watchful eye of the world
They won’t understand that we’re here to celebrate
A dissonance of mores it’s gonna tear our lives apart
To live is to ever-strive
For a time more perfect
A place more beautiful
For a better moment than the last
We seem stuck in present
Surprisingly apathetic
But it’s our choice to think
It’s our choice to feel this way
And as we travel the path less followed
We can’t help but feel alone
Our rendezvous made it all worthwhile
Today I breath in free air
We’re already dead
We can see it coming
We’re already dead
Though we can’t feel it yet
There’s no room for error
There’s no time for fault
There’s no reason not to
Except for what we’ve been taught

1985: The Aftermath

For so long we thought we were so much grander
Now it’s come and gone, and there’s nothing left for us to whine and moan about
This is our brand new past
The air feels cooler when you’re in a shadow
The breathe on the back of my neck
Blows in a soothing motion
Settled down in the same caste forever we had everything in our sights
I can’t believe you couldn’t see that you’re the only enemy you need.

If I could act how I feel
I’d throw a brick right through your face
And blame it on your lack of understanding that all
People have their own beliefs
You’re not right; you’ve just read too many books
That reinforce your narrow frame of mind
Will I ever see you smile again?
Genuine never seemed so far
This Hollywood has got it all wrong this time
And you know the script by heart
Do you feel lost when the times change
Can you find relevance in the past?
Would you just prefer your daily dose of fact?
It may not be the truth
But it’s the closest thing you’ll fathom
I’ll make it easy to pull the trigger for you
It’s high time to call you out
And I’ll make sure that you fall down
or I’ll render you complacent
A brick to the face, and then I’m gone

Peeping in on the upper tier our jaws drop in awe is we come face to face
Those who we thought we loved for their starring role in the night-light
We’ve worn them out
When yourself doesn’t fit who you’re made out to be
Everyone can see through you
I’m razor sharp, chalk full of vanity
The new cutting edge
Our hearts beat in a constant rhythm
The purest form of self expression.
The bland are piled up and left to burn
Scatter the ashes and hope for a better tomorrow
That was where our idol stood
We gape with glazed over eyes
The remnant of our shattered dreams
completely wrecked my skinny day
If being brought to your knees wasn’t enough
If the sight of their failure is just too much
Feel free to gouge out your eyes, for now
For every action there’s an unfortunate
side affect called consequence
it’ll be your ugly scar
