Each word off your lips a life changing kiss
Views into times not lived but already missed
Entertain the possibility of taking the risk
Realize I'm too frightened step back into mist
You're a painting whose strokes were yielded by gods
Their brushes holding perfection moving in careful direction
Hues crashing onto canvas swirl, create the facade
In and out of the universe, sounds of applause
Nearly knock me off my guard again your pedestal is falling in
Getting held up on the symbolism, word of advice says
Earning respect is as simple as giving into the
Voice that cries love as the outside comes crashing in
Erratic conversation in the coffee line as a
Recluse strains to find shelter from his own mind
Yesterday the sun left a shine to my skin but
Today the rain pounds on my rooftop again
Hope springs for no man who is trapped in winter
Isolated trying to make trees out of splinters
Neatly pressed shirts no signs of stains
Getting used to the feel and the flow of the grain
Emphatically embracing the concept of normality
Void of my wants in the visions you had
Entire days have been dedicated, my thoughts now
Regulated, I've become elated, more concentrated
Yelling at the top of the lungs I fabricated
Talking in the slang I once hated
Hinder and hold, sooth and scold,
Injure the portrait you drew, until there's
No sign of the lines of the page, only a
Good night to you
