I am the dust on your shelf.
I am the passing wind.
I am the raindrops on your window.
Waiting for you to let me in.
I am the eyes of longing.
I am a quiet protector.
I am the memory of forgotten.
A lost time collector.
Nightlife,
The moon is up,
And she’s talking to me.
Give me somewhere to belong tonight,
Give me somewhere to belong.
My misery and my desire,
Are similar in their attire.
I’m really the smartest fool,
Touching a raging fire.
You must take what is yours,
Because yours only stays awhile.
And it’s only never too late,
To love the things you hate.
But then ya’ll gonna mix my words,
Y’all don’t know how to spell,
And what if I get my groove on,
And tell that bitch how I felt,
nah, I can’t catch no feelings,
Cuz that ain’t good for my health,
And when I get to coughing,
I pray I’m up in the clouds.
i am made up of broken promises and unlived dreams.
When the new day is born
Will you nurture it?
Will you teach it who you are?
Will it change you?
Or will you let it pass you by
Like a slow death in the sky
a little green bug landed on my arm, out of instinct i swiped at it. oh what a shame something so small and so unaware had to meet its end, on my skin.
i guess my mistake was, i saw you as memories. i must’ve forgot that there was still more of you to remember.
if you are not aware of others
and not aware of yourself
you are chaos
if you are aware of others,
and not aware of yourself,
you are weak,
if you are not aware of others,
and only aware of yourself,
you are foolish,
if you are aware of others and yourself,
you are powerful
Voiceless voices
Amongst a scattered world
