Envisioning relief through the tired
old lens of disbelief
is no longer working out for me
This house is not in order,
like it has ever been,
the fruits of this labour
maybe spoilt from the beginning
Never stepping out of line,
just a step out of sight again to breathe,
(just a step out of beat)
to fill the spaces in between
Peace of mind, gone with the magic
that lit it up once upon a time
And promises only serve to decorate
a shell that rattles
with a history of numerous bad takes
Still with skin never shed, and it acts as a shelter,
a roof above your head that is slowly caving in
Can't bury old paths.
you need to learn from them,
redirect your focus, and your wars -
you need to learn from them
Static movement doesn't cut it,
run with it, you don't need the stars to align
to put your trust in this
A desire to be sincere
about how you feel
for the first time in your life
(but is it really)
Is this really the grand design
Is this really the grand design,
pulled through only to push it aside
