fALLiNg aPaRt

Azure shadows
Come creeping from the west
In faded echoes
Of pretenses that never rest
I am wondering
What's in this heart of mine
Outside it's thundering
And lightning shreds the sky...

And as I ponder
Of what is going on
I can only wonder
Between the plains of right and wrong
It is confusing
The bearer of pain
And rights abusing
Until at last everyone is slain...

I know what I once felt
Planned out every card dealt
Now the future's twisting
Familiar faces shifting now...

So still I'm thinking
Of what is going on
The ships are sinking
As they have been all along
What is reality
And what is just a game
And who is truly me
Or have I stayed the same?

True selves are hiding
In such a sweet disguise
Can you be deciding
By merely looking through my eyes
I question intentions
The things I never knew
And it's this mention
That's ripping me apart from you

Head filled with ache
Loneliness and heartbreaks
Can't tell what's true
Looking back...to them and you...

Now the world is spinning, I feel myself crumble and break
The realm is collapsing under this black crushing weight
And I don't know....
Can't let it go...

And in the voice of my pretense I scream outloud...

I miss who I once was
Innocence and sympathy
Never scarred by black intent
Bitterness or pity
Yet now the anger rages deep
I cannot see it's origin
What could have been sown to reap
What is now beginning?

Wings broken through my insides
Used to yearn, but it hides
Cut myself on strings
That spun me from the dreamscape...
Wondering if I will cry
Wondering if you'll say goodbye
And I wonder if everything
Is so much more that I can take...

I'm falling apart...
Clutch my crystal heart
Such a wonderous piece of art
And before you choose to depart
Please take a part...now.
