I see why you adore the need to lie How could you cope? My life about to hit these ropes It’s okay, another time I guess I always tried the best My eyes looking up; My home tempting me I could decide, but what’s the point I’ve not been a man until I’ve made my choice I'm in this house of glass I see it all the time Bat and bruised, in this well I sit Did I long for this? You’re trapped in a cell somewhere Close to rapture Brother, I’ve never felt the same A monster’s always calling my name Perched on the chord, praying for a hope of reprieve I’m in this house of glass I see it all the time Do I wish to be A line in history Another jump then drowning? But what do I live for? What I wrote was a lie Is this as far as I go But I don’t want to die Trapped behind this glass But I won't throw these stones Standing among the shards This is where I call home

Like some Sailor’s Dream I’m standing on the edge of the sea This untamed abyss Staring back at me Tales of being taken alive A single strand of your hair Might be the last thing of you I see I dread to think of you Never to reach any shore Sat adjacent to a phone Waiting my call for…. We all need some time alone Not a screen nor book for shelter I’ve had my fill of reflection “I will not abide” I hoped that our fingers met And we can take this love; Oh, I regret I know, my doubts and my debts I fear this future Where I’m alone I dictate my feelings as my own We all need some time alone Not a screen nor book for shelter I’ve had my fill of reflection “I will not abide”

Delial 04:39
Where were you when I needed someone in the dark? Amidst the dirt and grime, a single point in time, not even a shred of privacy Where were you? We forbid it I knock on the walls A call to answer Recount this and fall You just be Shrink security underfoot I must become This is not for you How we condemn ourselves I start into the darkness, descending into what; Not even God could summon the nerve. Atop the precipice of belief, fear, doubt and loathing. This House of Autumn used to be home; now it’s little more than a structure to me, a shadow of what I’m supposed to be Regret / Rebirth / Rebuild Crawl for shelter Long to call a place a home Walls betray my grieving What kind of man am I? A photo to take but not a girl to save I am a vulture Just a vulture
