i was at at the edge of the room
hiding my face with a veil made of flowers in bloom
when the silence was broken in two
by a man with a voice like an ankle tattoo yelling
"we will not be let down anymore
i will stand on my feet or i'll sit on the floor"
but no matter where i reside i'll ignore
every word you said to me
cause this broken ass telepathy has never made things right
it's never saved me from myself or taught me to put up a fight
it's a single edged sword with the handle pointing out of my skull
but i won't lose control i'll keep hold until i see you again"
i looked towards my feet when i saw i was standing
and realized i was the one reprimanding
himself
reprimanding himself
and next thing i knew
well i was at the edge of the ocean
with a look on my face that was little more than hopeless
when the silence was broken in two
by a council of crows placing rocks as a clue and they read
"please don't feel so down anymore
you should stand on your feet with your hands on the sword handle
handling more than you thought you ever could
because anything is possible
if you overcome these obstacles constructing your perspective
and discover that your selflessness has been so self dejected
that your cowardice and hours spent on hoping for a future
might result in nothing more than hoping"
and i look towards the waves when i knew that they were right
and realized i was the one that was putting up a fight
so i closed my eyes
laid back in the sand and tried to die
but not before i looked at you off across the waves
wondering how ill manage this and how much time i could save
if i walked to you now and i told you and i told you to be alright
cause i can guarantee that i won't see you anymore tonight
