Finding my feet walk the dark depths of the streets alone
once clouded eyes are now shown
that empty hands are fee to fill
free from plans and if I think I can I know I will
And if I want to drift
don’t need the approval for the removal of a rift
I shift shape only mine is the soul at stake
only a single plate I now must fill
my life empty of a drill of routine
my life now full of mood swings
I miss the beauty of small things
and for the first time I find myself retreating
there used to be four wings of support
and now the thought of your embrace leaves my breath short
imagined the essence of freedom would be a joy to report
I`m out of sorts
call for this mission to abort
I thought love was supposed to make you blind but its left me clear
encapsulated love not hatred is what I fear

I left the house with a puffy eye
when I felt it I melted inside

As I wait for my hand to catch up with my pen
I try to make sense of this fiery den
I try to go undercover so it wont burn my skin
I try to keep tabs on who comes in
and does anyone come out
I kneel and shout
I swear I chose a rock for my house
I think its making me sick all of this dick
and I shift like the sands that hold the pick up sticks
I am torn and I am fractured
I reach out and try and grab the fragments
I need these pieces they are my polar magnets
I feel like a hot air balloon that’s just been landed
Didn’t think it was taking its toll
Now I feel so low, old, like I dug my own hole
a fine line between the fly and the fall
changes in a second
I don’t understand this at all

I left the house with a puffy eye
when I felt it I melted inside
I should have stayed and kissed you goodbye
I lent over but didn’t try

I slip slide
will something be left to testify
I try and grab hold of my mind
is inside the right place to seek and find
why do I feel boxed in
if its a straight line
I pay in kind for a little piece frozen in time
on the road I hustle and I climb
I should have known I need muscle for the grind
so many footprints gone before me
a reassuring sign
dust in my eyes and I try not to breathe
gotta listen in case my calling`s hidden in the breeze
with shaky knees I bow my head and take my place
link arms with the chosen few to stare fear in the face
I don’t want to wait
standing still ain’t common place
I’ve got to eat it all as well as have my cake
but it seems my play be getting in my way
what’s that the Connors say
no such fate but what we make

I left the house with a puffy eye
when I felt it I melted inside
I should have stayed and kissed you goodbye
I lent over but didn’t try
