..Worlds will crumble and collide
And I will be looking around for you
My friend, my comrade
When our tears are the bricks
That splash at our feet
Gashing us as we run
Raining on us like the apocalypse blood
I will be seeking you
Amidst the falling towers of empire
The spines that allowed us to tread on this world
So aware of our carelessness
That each night
Since the days we were born,
We stared at the moon
Wanting to take us somewhere else.
But we stayed
And I will be looking for you
My friend, my comrade
When the days our worlds
Crumbles and collides
Amidst the collapsing of dreams
That held the sky up for us
I will look for your eyes
Welling with the quench for a new world
A time to let the streaks on our face
Draw disconnected lines of hope
Where somehow
We will end up somewhere
In a circle amidst rubble
Staring at each other
Looking at each other
We have found each other
Our destination at apocalyptic
crossroads..
spirit guide and protect
Music
To be in limbo is the other.
Confused hungry ghosts
Never really knowing where to turn
Identities wandering the gap
Within the red line of borders
Invisible, unheard
Craving to be known.
Rational minds
Never really recognize.
Shivers of starvation
In the back of the mind,
A shadow over the shoulder.
A message waiting to be heard.
