i dont want to tell you what to do
i just think things could be better
if you change your mind
if you look me up
if you gave up on those
stupid hopes and dreams

maybe one day when you wake up
just to realize that it was right
past mistakes of love
past regrets of life
let it sink it
let there be some modesty inside of you

but if you cant change who you are
going forward with this in mind
take your hands away
throw them in to something true
never was one to stick to it
well i was told to keep quiet too

and if we fail to recoginize
truths, lies and reprecussions
wont you just put your arms down
fighting never was our thing
let our lips be kept shut
we can guve ourselves up

adherence to the border you established,
safe in the confines of the walls around,
concrete and still built up as defence,
for the city where nothing happens – to the ignorant.

disappearance in the wilderness,
nature acts as a museum,
a testament to the untouched,
to the innocence we longed for.

urban development in a rural scene,
exports that import,
the next big thing,
closer to you, to me.

when the oxygen goes,
the carbon will suffocate,
our eyes will gloss over,
the sky turns grey – the mountain lives, looking onward.

catch a breath
let your lungs expand
exhale
feel the wind
rustle hair
toss over
mind race
tough decisions
bad moves
learning curves
constant mistakes
fluid motions
caveat beginning
dreaded ends
terrible lies
tragic mistakes
stomach pains
heart beats
sweaty palms
bright lights

stop

catch a breath
let your lungs expand
exhale

traverse through the city
gather what you need
follow closely to my lead

burning down societies remains
leftovers of industry
the glow attracts the flame

sidewalks adorn with memories
buildings whistle screams
open doors to empty dreams

fight to continue
breathe a few more hours
hope the light comes another day

lost souls sink
below concrete and ash
brittle bones buried

strength in numbers
cut off to divide
weakness multiplies

seek the comfort of tomorrow
while you struggle for today
just remember who you were
yesterday

grasping cold hands
holding them close to my chest
rest your head on my shoulder
cry with me as we grow older

we can share burdens
learn from mistakes
voices change with age
but feelings stay the same

though our hearts never merged
eyes locked on others
bonds were formed
tightly woven – somehow divine

photos of yesteryear
let us embrace nostalgia
for memories of desire
longing for success

remain close to me
lets not sever ties
keeping eyes open
look for signs in the sky

no one alike
a feeling of comfort
of security
of trust

stay at my side
my friend
my accomplice
my lifelong
ally
