 Absent Minded

My soul's Revenge


The Ocean's fast asleep
and still my soul is weeping
spent the night counting dreams
you make it up to me another way.
The sky is just too big
it reminds me of my insignificance,
how small I am
this far away from the sun,
and still my eyes burn.
Nowhere to run to sort things out
and I'm lost inside
It's like the transmission scrambled my thoughts
so the unholy wars wouldn't begin.
I'm on my own,
I'm down on my knees,
I'm searching for answers
with this lost hope and broken dreams.
It's too late,
I don't want to go on
all talent has abandoned me
all gifts of virtue plague this heart.
And the stars remind me,
I'm a lone soldier in this faded memory
of what is once known to be today.
They say eventually it will come
and it will come from a deeper place
They say it will happen just baby steps
but I always fall flat on my face.
Can't you see?
even in my hopelessness
I'm a ray of sunshine,
sending my chaotic confused love to you
can't you see
in this organized serenity
you've taken from me
I'm a momentary hero
holding you from the light

The ocean's fast asleep
and still my soul is weeping
