still i dwell in fear's captivity

Sometime soon i pray
Probability will lose it's caste
And perhaps loosen my way

but i can never trust what you say is loyalty

let me out of this nicety,
of this evil,
no loyalty in hurt.

hollow phrases of some inconsequential notion

pores caressed by winds of dreams
we are nought but sentimental fools

I'll configure insecurity to reasurance,
Run down everything Unknown to Home,
Pointing to that Familiar Place.

We stand and we look at the blinding white light.
We duck and run for cover to get it out of our sight,
And run off into the despair of the night.

Making it a point to be pointless
Without a laugh, a cry, a care in the world
My years, so empty, so hollow

burning rays of fire shine so hard, so bright,
shrivels my shadow into a nothing,
and pours it into a clear glass jar,
so everyone can see how perfect, yet wrong, i was.

When you'd die to be that somebody,
Truly awake when they open their eyes,
Aware of love and it's uncertainty,
Everybody is that somebody dressed in lies.
