Flight Risk

Save it for another time, when you can care

Wind stings your face like a time, when you could care

Disconnected from, grasp for notions you once held so dear

Working once again, for something far away from here

When you tell me that you empathize I feel no peace in my mind

I don't want to you to know what this is like

I want you to tell me that I'm fucked up so I know I'm in a hole

Not a plateau I can't climb out of

Tell me what are we suffering for?

Meant to live for so much more, if we could navigate this fеar

And my eyes openеd just in time, the twisted trees went rolling by

Once submerged but rise to find, cataclysmic apparitions

Cut down, like the trees you called your home

Replaced with cigarettes and a fear of the unknown

Locked face to face and frozen in time

Nothing exists, but these illusions of permanence

And I hope that this don't pass us by

With stolen corpses and corvid eyes

These offerings sent to your smile

And the war that it fought for the spot across your face

Carved through like the highways that you roam

Replaced with caffeine and the idea of a home

Locked face to face and frozen in time, nothing exists

But these illusions of permanence
