Illegalities and Morals

Illegalities and Morals

Illegalities and morals
That stretch across the light
The light to keep me burning
The last, dying, gasping fight
That spread across the years, battling
Silences that bridge the gap
But when bridges burn by any means
How can we turn back?
'Cause the path is closed, the door is shut
Behind my sorry head
And the smiles I thought I’d own this year
Got lost in life instead
And the finality of this drained charade
Cramps my whole inside
My shell was open I could have come out
But instead I was forced to hide
And turning back to search for hope
In a world we slowly kill
Would be trying to attempt the impossible task
Of spinning while standing still

Did you ever see the hurt that spread
Across this weary cheek?
When time had taken me hostage until
The end of the leaving week?
Did my eyes ever do their duty
And tell you of this thing
That’s slowly burning all that’s inside
That’s tapering back these wings

Well I’m watching you from the back of the class
I’m, well, just breathing you, softly, in
These dying breaths are my last with you
I can grip the power within
But it’s all going now, you have to go
It’s all over, see ya, I’m off
I’m going to fail without you
And happiness is your cost?!

The trees are blowing in the wind
I can hear the silence ring
They tell me that I’m staring into nothing
And that’s all this could ever bring
But there must be more, this can’t be all
Forever passed me by
This can’t be it, when logic tells me that
Beauty prospers in your eye

And as I reflect upon how we were
Frustration seeps in and weeds out regret
And the five magic words that plague the mind
How will I ever forget?
Cause my hand, it only clutched at air
I came back with an empty fist
And I wanted to walk beside your dreams
But I just couldn’t tell you this

And I’m staring past these strong white walls
That mimic how you used to be
My head’s comfy here in my hands now, thanks
And my face you’ll never see
Have you ever felt comfort
From being in pain?
Have you ever felt normal
Because you’re going insane
And no one can tell me that this is wrong
You all can’t stop me yet
Cause the momentum is going, I was once inert
It’s not the fastest I can get

And the future is dim and it feels mundane
Though I’m not even there
The one time I don’t have empty hands
Is staring into your stare
It’s like a map to a road to a road to a street
I’m lost, but I know where I am
Confusion frequents these tired veins
Surging through the calm
