I'm crawling out from the darkness of my room
I crept from a comatose my body barely knew
In time i've learnt to adjust this sequence
Each step to process I recall through words
spat out in lost comfort, to the shortest tale that ended tall
Is this my midlife?
There's a frequent call
But i'm stuck to a standstill with no force to carry on
It feels like a comatose, but I can't get any kind of sleep
Eighteen wasn't easy, 23 made it worse
A year hung from detached lines and tables turned
I used to wait out in the cold for a passing gaze
or a shot right through the brain
It felt like a comatose, but I can't get any kind of sleep
Someday these connections will break
And we find ourselves waiting to bleed from ink into our pale skins
But we'll end up not feeling a thing

Certain To Spill

Dear trouble, don't pull me under
I'm sick of feeling introvert, feeling any way but normal
Stuck inside this vacant space in time
Mass consumption then injects and stops me getting past
Now i'm coughing up my mass blood, breaking tendencies in thought
I always struggle with the idea my life is spent practicing my aim
And it will always be the same
Our fathers were patrons at an early age, what are we?
Forever looking back on our own misery
We fall into impossibles,
Stumble through inevitables
These situations were never going to make us work
I have piles of unread texts, scripts and fictions I neglect
It haunts me in my maturity, makes it hard to sleep
I always struggle with the idea my life is spent practicing my aim
Who measures achievement?
Do we really need it?
It's hardwired into our nature
but our world isn't built on perfect stature
We can't neglect our past but to dwell it makes us certain to spill
And then our troubles will pull
We're all stuck ten years behind
Adult age with younger minds
We all live a lifetime apart
, at different points with flying starts

Sleepy Eyed

I took it all far away
Flew the nest left the cage
To find my better person
A spark of conversation
And I tied all my grief
in a knot and took it with me
To be a lesser burden
on the mind of someone
A call with no response and I'm falling apart
This broken misery unsung of a man come undone
at the seams, ragged mane, broken teeth
Staring through reflection from the tip to the soul
'I was hoping you would let me come over tonight,
But you never cared you were always sleepy eyed'
Now I feel the cold creep into my bones
Youth tells our bodies to burn, but I feel splintered from a hundred nights
Still you're telling me to come back home
Time is what I need, and if it's time that's causing me to reap
then i'll come back home
Silence broke in a hundred decibels of anger and fault
With a drive to scared to stray from the lines of the road
When I'm in a state to forgive
For every honest mistake I tricked
I'll come back home.

I'm stuck in a verse
Reciting every little detail to myself
Looking for something honest between the words on the page
Because there is only so much bitterness that I can take
Or that I can endure
Hands held tight shielding what we owe
These nights spent in marking what is ours
You're trust is misleading
You're honesty is fake for all to see
Our best intentions spent
And the sign will read do not resuscitate
So for all that's left at stake we're counting out this one
(There’s nothing we could have done)
Calling a silence, we're treading the thorn
We're out of step with your song
Broken chords that sound all wrong
There's nothing to relate
You're known to snap peoples necks and hurt the ones that would call you a friend
Stop stop stop being so red in the face,
Is it love or lust?
A small little face
Where are you when you're needed the most
Until there's nothing left you'll just pick out at my bones
We're ready to begin,
Why watch the walls when we could climb them instead?
We laugh at danger, burning nightmare fuel
But this segregation, your lack of encouragement
We walk a great divide,
A black hole full of lies.
