White Feather In Ashes
Sometimes I lay awake and imagine
One day my dreams being more than an illusion
Sometimes I wonder if my brain will release
That I will not be a prisoner to me
Somedays a force fogs my head
An unwanted guest steppes right ahead
Some Days I have the same knot in my stomach
Like a shoelace knot just getting tighter
The more I pull its strings the more I am it's puppet
No control like Henson's muppets
Do you ever feel like your realistic messages
Are a trains fuel that your not driving
Your positive affirmations held as hostages
Have you ever felt like your breathing a different atmosphere
Thinning as every inhaling disappears
Are you sometimes looking blind at the world
And everyones telling you how beautiful it is out here
Are you ever wondering tirelessly
When you'll next have relief
Do you sometimes wish you could close your eyes
And switch on a perspective that thrives
Do you sometimes wish you could see the stars
Have time in your head to fictionalize mars
Do you ever feel afraid to shed your tears
Vulnerability just feeds the fear
No matter how hard you try to kill
The ghost inside you whispering lies to your ear
Do you try to block the sirens call
To defeat its beauty as it drags your soul
Do you sometimes think you see the end
Joy for a second maybe you have a friend
Have you ever felt like you could one day never wake up
And the whole world would discover your makeup
Do you ever hide the devil inside
Try to put it for sale on the curb side
Do you every wish for some peace
After awhile the cost means nothing to me
Have you ever felt naked without this weight
Maybe if it escapes your blend in with the landscape
Maybe this devil makes me look special
Not just a number 2 pencil with a pink eraser
Have you ever felt your life is one continuous conclusion
It never gets better, your live has already ended
Do you see God as a cheap artist
Who got a bit lazy a scribbled your picture
A painting he later tried to hid in the closet
Do you ever look in the mirror
Your whole body shadowed with fear
Have you ever felt like if depression would kill you here
Die with your mask on, no marshmello reveal
Do you ever feel like your orange in a tree with apples
Unique and original but labeled to fragile
A torch in a field of matches
A hammer in a factory of glasses
A broken calculator while doing taxes
A paragraph in a poems stanzas
A white feather in a gush of ashes
A blue sky mist a sea of shooting flashes
A curve at every corner
A stop sign barricades you from going further.
In every action you can only see its opposite reaction
Blind to newtons equal reaction
All you see are the mistakes of your passion
You never add all you do is subtraction
You always have unnatural immune reaction
To every action you do right or wrong
Always present dissatisfaction.
Have you ever?
Feather in ashes.
Have you ever?
Gone against the grain
Broke the knife
And guess whos the blame
This is not no scrabble game
My words don't rhyme or spell out phrase
My tears never smother my hearts flames
My pain never weighs out the devils gains
Have you ever?
Felt like Feather in Ashes
Have you ever
Your jeans desperate for patches
Your eyes hungry for glasses
To see the world out of 2d view
To subdue the mind blocked to dream
Have you ever?
Have you ever?
Like Feather in Ashes
Like purple grasses
Like streaming molasses
Like open latches
Like Feather in Ashes.
