The Part We Leave Out

The earth is an enormous connect the dots
And we were perfectly placed to secure
Your hand in mine
Your heart and mine
My mind on you and you always close behind
When we think the line may fracture, we remanufacture
Your eyes, your lips, and your fingertips
Blow your breath on my neck
Without you, I believe I'd wander
Searching
No need to push or shove
I know we'd cross again
Let's not mistake this for weak but with you I am meek
Caress and finesse me with what you are
Caress and finesse me with who you are
I'm searching for something more
I followed you from December to September hoping we could be something
The smell of you lingers as the old cliche goes
To get to you I've traveled winding roads
Shatter my inhibitions with a look
I'm losing control as you're trembling and shook
You're mine and only mine
Only you don't have a clue
It's true
Do you think of me as much as I think of you
I'd like to know, honestly
Honesty has never been my strong suit but I swear this is my biggest secret
I must confess I'm a mess but the disarray will make you feel blessed
You're mine and only mine
Only you don't have a clue
It's true
Do you think of me as much as I think of you
I'd like to know, honestly
Honesty has never been my strong suit but I swear this is my biggest secret
I'm searching for something more
I followed you from December to September hoping we could be something
The smell of you lingers as the old cliche goes
To get to you I've traveled winding roads
Shatter my inhibitions with a look
I'm losing control as you're trembling and shook
You're mine and only mine

Accepting your absence and coping with loss
These are the fine lines together we must cross
Facing reality, never see you again
Saw the beginning but I couldn't see the end
Retracing memories I once held so dear
Flashbacks to a time when you were still here
I feel your presence I feel your embrace
I just wish I could still see your face
I know this isn't what we envisioned
A space, a place, a day where you're missing
I know I shouldn't beat myself up
But there's so many things I never got to say
I couldn't feel it then but you were on my mind for a reason so much that day
And When I heard the news, I fell to the floor
I never wanted to hug you more
We are only here so long
We can cope with pain so wrong
I can't believe you're not here with me
I thought I'd never see the day
We are only here so long
We can cope with pain so wrong
I can't believe you're not here with me
I thought I'd never see the day
I thought I'd never see the day
You've gone to the other side
Although it hurt to see you go
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
Though I watched you fade away
Calm
Warmth
Sleep peacefully
Are you there
It seems the earth is folding in
I've called to you and still not heard a thing
My heart bursts
I've come to terms but it hurts and burns and stings
You're not here
You've gone to the other side
Although it hurt to see you go
I am not afraid
I am not afraid
Though I watched you fade away
Can you see me
I can see you
Do you hear me
I do hear you
Are you with me
I am with you
Fade away

Breathe in the air
Take the rays of the sun on your back
As we head down this path there's no turning back
We walk together side by side and heed each and every warning sign
Beware
I'm there
Trying not to grow weary
The mane is longer
Unkept
But we're stronger than the binding tie
A wandering eye on what's beyond our enclosure
Yet here we are
Not yet weary
I wonder if the world would still hear me when I resurface
Clearly, I'm preoccupied with being accepted
Your frequencies calm me
Don't end this transmission
Please take this void away
I hoped for you to stay
When this is over I will say you're still my favorite part
You're still my, you're still my favorite part
You're still my
You're still my favorite part
All the days turn into one
Mundane, plain, and uninspiring
I sink into my painful comfort
You slip between my thoughts
Interrupting what could have very well been the start of my decline
The rain came and it stayed for 7 days
It was nice at first but then the fever kicked in
As my head starts to spin I'm growing weary
Weary I've grown and slipped into the unknown part of my brain
I'm not insane
You bring me back to my senses
Say that all that is senseless
I thank all the stars above
Please take this void away
I hoped for you to stay
When this is over I will say you're still my favorite part
You're still my, you're still my favorite part

I remember your face in the dark
Your name uttered with fear in my heart
Everything you wouldn't believe, I've seen
Like crystal it all rang pristine
Pressure put so much weight on my chest
Breath became so stagnant
So if all that we need is all that we are then all that we are is death
Tell me what do you see so differently
When you fathom your last breath
And in that moment I could plainly see
From valley to summit how quickly did I plummet
Self deprived and underwhelmed I sit so hollow
Abide this time and take the helm to drive toward tomorrow
It's hard to push forward when I remember
That dreams could fall apart and I am so subdued
I'm only pretending
No one can see because they perceive what I lead to be the truth
Barren and desolate I pray for the rains
Give me life
Cleanse me of my sins
Make me whole again
I remember
That dreams could fall apart and I'm so subdued
I'm only pretending
No one can see because they perceive what I lead to be the truth

It feels everything in my life is contrived
This is what it means to be broken
Like the seasons, people come and go
But I'll always have my favorite
Naturally, I'm inclined to always feeling unsure about everything
Still, I continue on
Singing the same sad song
I never asked to live this way
Existential void
This heaviness always rests upon my chest
It's easy to pick sides when all you see is one
It's hard to accept the smiles when I'm a lonely son
What do you do when the voice inside your head wins
All of my demons set flames from within
Internally, infernally singeing and scorching
They said things get better
I see no brighter days approaching
Let this idle time consume me
It won't abuse me
My pain is wealth
I do this to myself
Consume me
Abuse me
I do this to myself
It spreads like ashes
Black and grey
Make me numb
Take this anguish away
Immeasurable appetency for normality but that seems so subjective
I've drawn a line but to no avail
Because I fall back into the same routine again
I can't seem to keep from running this cycle
Maybe this who I am meant to be
The change won't come easy
Change is the war inside of me
It spreads like ashes
Black and grey
Make me numb
Take this anguish away

Bridge the divide
We can only survive
If we see what's on the other side
In time, colors will blend over blood that's been shed
For every precious hair on your head
Tie the strands and clasp your hands
Head bowed and out loud scream
For light while faced with darkness
When will they see
This way wasn't meant to be
What will be left for you and me and most important our posterity
The blind leading the blind
Closing the mind
Our senses rewind
No rhyme, no reason
Just distraught faces
In damaged places
A heart which feels half empty
Hear my plea and let the hate flee
My body to let my soul be free
Belligerent
Indignant
Unjust and unchained they run amuck
Immersing the streets in red
What more can be said
Lie down for they have already made your bed

One has to pay dearly for immortality
One has to die several times while one is still alive
Take my sacrifice and disregard it
As you have so many times before
I have striven for greatness yet somehow kept landing face first into the dirt
Picking up, picking up these pieces to try and make something pure
Not giving up, I'm getting up and making these days worth so much more than a cure to this
Insipid way
Doubted and counted out
Never given a fair even shake
Can you see me now
I'd like to show you how I got over this personal hell
I endured the heat
The sweat of my brow pushing me through
Pushing me through
Showing my true strength to you
Attribute this revolution to your ill will toward my being
The lash of your tongue did sting but not so much to keep me at bay
The head hanged lowly
Bearing the burden of the world
But resilient is what I am
And that pushed me through
Pushed me through
Doubted and counted out
Never given a fair even shake
Can you see me now
I'd like to show you how I got over this personal hell
I endured the heat
The sweat of my brow pushing me through
Pushing me through
The awakening
Come soon enough
The abolition awaits
Come diamond in the rough
For fucks sake
I'm better off on my own
For fucks sake
I never needed anyone, so leave me alone
Elevate
Alleviate naysayers and prove your worth
PMA
PMA
My keep will stay
One has to pay dearly for immortality
One has to die several times while one is still alive
Doubted and counted out
Never given a fair even shake
Can you see me now

The world is moving quickly as I'm standing still
I am the anchor
I apologize for being distant
I'm no good at being close to anyone
The thought of being vulnerable is frightening
I get anxious
My legs move with nervous energy
Maybe I'm too fucked up to be repaired
Maybe the first step is admitting I'm scared
Opening up leads to recovery and the betterment of oneself
Right
This is debilitating
Humiliating
That's why I am the anchor
How can I plateau when I know for sure I haven't peaked
These damn thoughts make me weak
What is it that I truly seek
Day by day
Week by week
Pull me out this rut
I'm stuck and it sucks
Too busy trying to please while my mind isn't at ease
These damn thoughts are making me weak
What is it that I truly seek
Day by day
Week by week
I'm stuck and it sucks
That's why I am the anchor
Just take a look at my face
You can see that there's a negative space
That's because there's so many parts of me that I wish I could erase
If you take a look at my face
You can see that there's a negative space
That's why I am the anchor
Retrace the steps that got me here
Figure a plan that's more sincere
Two feet down on solid ground as I pace this path I've found
Take me way down below
I've been way down before
