It starts with conversation

And yet we make the occasion, a feeling made so discrete

I’m sick of stepping through fields of broken glass

The lesions of frailty, they only drive us farther apart

Disconnected and it’s just the beginning

To know that pressure builds

When we’re the victims of self-doubt

I can’t seem to break down the barricade

I’ll stay to maintain what’s left of this

Don’t want to burn down these bridges tonight

There might be something here, something for both of us

I’ll run the risk of failing again

The darkness has risen and taken my vision

To places I can’t describe

Its presence is grating and has left me so empty inside

Ascension seems stagnant but the will has grown inside

The shell will break down and rewrite your diatribe

You’ve used to define me

I can just tell from the reaction you don’t like my

Point of view

But its mine and I stand by, what is on my mind

Couldn’t care if you smite my

Judgment

I smile in prize fight

So far I’ve been living to please

Decrease tension

Now I’m just thinking of me

I wanna venture

Step to the deep end forever

Sail ships of relations into great weather

I’m at a point in my life where the words are artillery

Given the right knowledge, I'll demolish almost anything

Simmer down

You bitter clown

I see that frown

And body language that matches

Unlatch your heart and just relax it

The walls that keep me in is a maze of obscurity, this place is

At your command and it’s lacking an exit

With every step, there is a sense of security

I know that patience aids, one day I’ll break your gaze

(It is my only desire)

It is my only desire to bring you down to ground, away from being a stranger
