Not a warning as you awake
Unknowingly launched into space
Thoughts like earth stuck in its place
Spinning
Spinning
Spinning
Endlessly, as you float away.
A shower in your loved ones blood
You soak them in while they're hot
Conceiving that it will always flood
Pouring
Pouring
Pouring
Nevertheless goes cold, water stops.
Memories like the tally of night
Trying to count each stars own light
But stars leave in oncoming dawn
Fading
Fading
Fading
Like my mothers face, almost gone.
Trying to form your life into shape
Like making your way through a maze
Knowing your goals but not the way
Wander
Wander
Wander
And if you turn wrong, end up dazed.
Hollow words of worth and affection
Registering but not sinking in
Eventually people flee from burdens
Running
Running
Running
Such as my father, from his kids.
Approval gained like sweet candy
Yet somehow you still can't breath
Thinking more is what you need
Craving
Craving
Craving
Get enough, you might be freed.
Countless scores of empty faces
Eyes on you they fill the streets
Can't help but assume their gazes
Watching
Watching
Watching
Don't trip and fall, or make a scene.

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!
