Corners of dementia
Well, they take us by surprise
For it’s so hard to own
the surfaces that slide
There were thoughts of a possible centre
Hell knows how it snuck by
Brightest of lights, on the darkest of colours
I surely do look like the fool
It gets harder & harder each moment
Lord knows how I’ve strived.
This night doesn’t help,
With its relentless moon
(Thus) founding my own misfortune
It must have been the colours of her eyes
‘Cause I couldn’t leave nor could I say goodbye
I swear that I tried… yes I tried!
I swear to you it didn’t even cross my mind
It must have been the calling in her eyes
‘Cause I couldn’t leave nor could I say goodbye
I swear that I tried, oh I tried!
I swear to you I nearly…
Colours of dementia
Blinded the primary eye
Oblivious to her turning of blind eyes
Missing my favourite surprise
(Now) Nothing here on gets better
Subtlety has left the room
All that is left are fingers in knots
And acceptance of me being consumed
It must have been the colours of her eyes
‘Cause I couldn’t leave nor could I say goodbye
I swear that I tried, oh I tried!
I swear to you I nearly lost my mind!
It must have been the calling in her eyes
‘Cause I couldn’t leave nor could I say goodbye
I swear that I tried… yes I tried!
I swear to you it didn't even (cross my mind).

It moves me: such wonder
It steadies me down
And like water: so fluid
Percolating our soul's arrant heart
It binds me: pneuma adorned
Like nothing I have ever sensed
It's coming around again: It's coming back around the bend.
It's coming around again: cornering us at every end.
Within minutes, We've built weightless.
We are weightless!
Superlative: Backed by the faithful
Floor-less elation.
Hey Hey Hey: I'm just right, right, right
We keep feeding... We keep beating!
It's coming around again: It's coming back around the bend.
It's coming around again: cornering us at every end.
This moment's etched domain: forever thankful for its blaze.

Once upon a time,
I needed stern spirits to clear & tolerate the noise
Once a man with heart
And a soul. but as you might relate: I favoured being numb.
What’s a man to do?
Partaking in my urge-shaped kingdom, where woes can’t surface from.
A halcyon place to be,
But afternoon light reminds me that I’ve left “me” behind.
It’s amusing that I care
And crave more time for “me”
All-in-all, I’m worse off by far.
Mumbled moral points, for artificialities
If not now, then perhaps: when…? Perhaps: when…?
Another point of view:
They ride along, fortune-favoured whetted wakefulness
Lively acts are played;
All I want is to be clouded in… in their infected wit.
I know what I’m to do…
Must find a means to ash this breathed-in blaze for good.
It’s amusing that I care
And crave more time for “me”
All-in-all, I’m worse off by far.
Mumbled moral points, for artificialities
If not now, then perhaps: when…? Perhaps: when…?
An aged question: Perhaps: when…?
My reasons for today, linger ’til tomorrow
They’ll carry out tomorrow
My artistry caches: I’ll open them up tomorrow
They’ll still be here tomorrow.

Chasing After You

To speak the truth, And wield the moon
All while she roams the skies
She’s been given enough, But I’m calling her bluff
While all along abetting her lies
I keep chasing after you! (x4)
I’m burning away, at these hopeless attempts
For it never dies
Peeling the odds, with a trust in a dream
Oh, it’s her disguise!
Would you give up this wicked false pretense?
Could you give me something that could make more sense?
‘Cause I will not give you a reason!
I will not give you a reason!
Seeking: Mercy… I’m coming undone!
I’ve managed to put aside all of your teasing
I’ll manage: somehow I’ll forget the whole thing
‘Cause I will not give you a reason!
I will not give you a reason!
Peeling: Okay, so many just one more layer….?

What’s on your mind?
Come to the truth – hurry please!
Stop trying to curve right around the bend:
Such an earnest plea!
Closer: I bear ears for sight (x2)
Come taste the size of your shimmered glee:
Your mask-like pose
I’m not one for your silly roundabouts:
Answer me!
Oh, what’s on your mind? (x2)
Love bludgeoned - just listen
God dammit! I've...
Set around the fire
Burn the roar’s declare: it's kept me retained
I promised I would
Plead with your god to make it mine
Centuries of perfidy (x4)
All right, you hailed your questionnaire
Feeding off the rift that somehow bore
Somewhere through descending solacement
Gently let me down. Your argument:
All right, I failed your questionnaire
All right, I failed your questionnaire
Suit yourself; a narrow depth
To constrict the moral principles - you believed…?
Do you have an end to this?
Do we have an end?
Dismiss the screen
This silent treatment should be good enough for me
I believe you’re on your own
Our compass now outgrown
You’ve simply wandered a fork
SEE PAST ME – I’LL BRING YOUR GODDAMN COLLAPSE!
SEE PAST ME!
