I found a new color
In the space around your face
seemed like it wasn't real
And held my gaze, a spell

How could I tell

Had it always been there
Or was I unaware
That the windows I saw
were just portraits on a wall
To keep my mind astray
For another day

Well that day came
And took me along
Out the door, the windows gone

Blue green black
Softest of reds
Brightest of white
Darkness of coal

Well I was lost
In a strangers world
Only just recognized
I'd been a fool

How could I have painted
A whole new world
Whithout the shade or hue
That comes from you

Blue green black
Softest of reds
Brightest of white
Darkness of coal

To the great unknown I find myself standing in front of
I want to offer a welcome
and a challenge
I take too lightly the gift of a free will
and remain in this small town
wishing I was gone
more times than I can count
always becoming distracted

with some past lover

or something that's nothing

I've stayed full on little for too long
it became apparent I must leave
and finding myself in a place to do so
I will
I am
I have

So now you've had shelter
You've given the answers
By way of the answers
Our ancestors used to say
Here we are
Still unsure
In the ways that we want to say
That life isn't perfect
But is it worth it
What I know is all I can say
A clock keeps time,
But is ir fo me or is it you?
I guess that one day
I won't have to worry
And neither will you.

I understand that it's a destructive process, I understand that you don't want to be wrong.
At every avenue I offered you a counter.
What exactly is it youd want me to do?
I'll remember every single sylable
of sentences said while sleeping soundly

only if its be able to remind you
We're on this earth with a counter
every second sand is seeping southward

With so much mass connectivity
and trading of information
I can't help but feel
like everyone is slipping farther away
from REAL people
from REAL experiences

The last of your words
float ceaselessly through my processes
hold me up, measure me against them
throw me down and forget
they find the one spot I forgot to armor plate
and tear away every other shred
submerge me in the darkest of waters
but saves me at the last second
if nothing else for ironies sake
its hard to think about meeting a stranger I already know
or holding a familiar body I'd never really felt
but that's your definition
you are what you never were
