As I stand amidst the ruins The landscape tickles my fears And beguiles my faith to mourn For this nightmare doesn't cease It continues endlessly In every polarized direction I'm a creature of the flesh Trying to cut away at the epidermis Seeking out the spiral Trying to close these dead eyes This journey within me Has proven to be veiled over My day of light Still lingers somewhere in the darkness Still cold to the touch Yet burning with brilliance This little girl you see Merely heart and mind This pain I won't deny The lonliness More abundant than all else at times But still continuing to dangle on threads of hope Facing the sheers that I know could cut me down But I'm more concentrated On the hands that will catch me when I fall And it is you who I do this for My only reason To drag these atrophied feet across this earth I fantasize about your hidden spires I'll always fascinate in the absurd
Catch Me
