Edged out again
A second choice, a second wind
Being left alone
Is beautifully alright
In the light of the moon
I saw myself get up too soon
To leave the room i half assumed
Would be my tomb
Raise my hands to the ceiling
On this moonlit evening
Deceived & receding
Surrendered & retreating
Dimly dive
Dying skyline
At last my spark is gone
I lit up a thousand rooms
But now i'm done
At the end of the day
I'm glad those rooms could glimpse my smiling face

Pumpkin patch
Searching for the perfect match
Not in this batch
I left my keys in my car
While it was still running
I guess i’ll keep on running
Every connection up till now
Has been fake anyhow
Cross my legs & pass the time
Cross my fingers when you cross my mind
Every connection up till now
Has been fake anyhow
A stepping stone
I step alone
A stepping stone
Into unknown
A stepping stone
I don’t feel grown
A stepping stone
I’m not alone

Divide

Misplaced shame
Replacing something
More productive
Imitated insight is insane
Illuminate
Roman candle flame
Independence Day
Deny
Defy
Divide

Re:Quitting

Ive lost control
Of my car stereo
Static sound
Swells in the background
Returning
Level out
Apologize for something
I don’t care about
Even if I could manage to stick it out
I’d still be waking up for something I could live without
I just need to find
A way to spend my time
That was never hard back when I had my mind
Responding
Responsibly
Reacting without rushing
Towards conclusions I can't see
Even if I could somehow still persevere
The repercussions would be stronger & much more severe
Start of something new
What it does to you
If I could communicate
My point succinctly
& not create
Another world
Of thought
From a few words
Then maybe everyday
I could speak to what I want to say
& never have to feel this way
Mistyping misspeaking
Mistaking my meaning
Missing the point again
Missed it before I began
Returning
Responding
Regarding
Reacting
Rewording
Rewinding
Reversing
Recoiling

Neutrality

Don’t tell me I have to choose
Which one of you I have to lose
If you made me decide
I probably couldn’t pick a side
Neutrality
Comes easy to me
Mutually
Faking a memory
Don't tell me I have to prove
Anything I say to you
From now on...
I’m moving on
From anything I think is wrong
Vulnerability
Emotionally
Spiritually
Important to me
I am tired of myself
Too wired to rewire
I am gonna take a break
From what I thought was everything
