Zenpariah's blog: "Words2"

Another day, feel the same Adjusting to the status quo Ripping at me like an endless Monday morning Comedy is a good disguise When your whole is in a hole Intoxicate Wash away A spirit to lift your spirits Your river runs deep Let me swim in your calming waters Is it words you want? I’ve got words But you want more Desires and dreams to be fulfilled Continents and worlds to explore My eyes are red and heavy Blankly staring into the void Waiting for a reply I’ve stolen you away With little regard for another I refuse to give you back Right around the time you fade

Sit down and listen to stories Romanticizing yesteryear None of us have been there Not like you Ignorant offspring spewing mourning Please, spare me They don’t hold a light to you And your candle faded fast But enough of this collective Judas Who can deny your influence on our world? It’s hard to see you in this light Pale and shrunken and eaten away What happened to the giant? Held on high shoulders And introduced to the autumn’s colors Oh what will they do when the lights go down Without you there to guide them all to Zion? What will they do besides shiver in fear and blind faith? Do you believe in the Father, The son And the Holy Ghost Save yourself and shake your fist And let them know you’ve made your way home The sky is shining bright, but all eyes are on the ground You were the light the children will only hear about Told in stories fueled by your burning son I only pray the lord knew when to take you up You’ve been in this shell for too long Snug in my ways and my pride I am still the silent minority Bearing witness to your finite existence Santodante, lost now found It’s hard to see you in this light One last breath and say goodnight And when you see your creators face tonight Tell him you may have lost your life But have definitely saved another It’s your time now

If misplaced love is misery Then I’m miserable as hell An emptiness inside my chest I’ve begun to know too well I’ve kissed your lips a thousand times But I’ve never seen your face Protection held within my arms Shielding us from our fate The ocean bed has run dry my love And mutinous cries scream from above And all of this a matter of Our ships crossing in the night

The monster has reared its ugly head once again Ripping at your heart with its best intentions Plugging into your soul Draining you Tapping in like a warm connector But when the story’s told And the truth is known The beast shall once again Remain alone Flattery means nothing When your angel’s flown away Presiding in her chaste, majestic glory A touch of the hand A glimpse into the soul Bitter and tainted Weary and old What were you thinking? What have you done? Now it is finished What I thought had begun.

Can any hell be more real than this? Longing for something you can never have The wind screams contempt for location, associations dictated by fate. Bound. Restrained. Wrapped up in the world of my wicked friend. My innocence is bleeding through Boyish, childhood amazement Beaming in on your soulful lucid insanity. Northeastern lament praying for a cleansing rain to wash away this emptiness A good answer you say? I’ve always been good at tests and testing my will you are.

I dropped by to see you late last night But you were out like a light wrapt in the calm cool insanity of sleep. Death is a good disguise for late at night Wrapping all its games in its calm garden But what happens when the guests return and all unmask and you are asked to leave for want of a smile But still we run and laugh and play oblivious of the arrivial of the calm cool morning -------------------------------------------------- I am troubled immeasurably by your eyes I long for the whisper in your soft replies A thousand voices run thick Disdain And my words hide What your soul already knows
