colors are dripping
fading
falling away
as it is
and
as i am
greying
less distracting
this desert
is endless
and it's only color
is no color at all
helping me focus
stripped away
simple and clean
of black
and white
and neither
and both
only shades
revealing themselves
and i can see
more than before
more than ever
it's turned out
and i am
bleeding
grey
feeling
grey
living
grey
it seems so clear
it seems so real
tell me the truth
is this just
a dream?
...
as the sun sets
we find depth
in shallow things
and our thoughts
create metaphors
trying to sum up
our lives
in synonymous
verses
it's like writing
our own
personal
horoscope
sometimes
optimistic
other times
horrific
and we try
to believe
or deny
ignoring
pros
and
cons
just to make it fit
searching for answers
in opposites
shock the system
go against the grain
and see what
happens
the tide turns
and the sun
will rise
and set
again
tomorrow
...
tear it apart
rip it to shreds
down to ribbons
with jagged edges
and splinters everywhere
use your hands
your teeth
your feet
use fire
use knives
swing hammers
and throw stones
use words
and sounds
use your heart
and in your name
destroy
last night's
dream
peel the walls
see new colors
and shapes
taste blood
in your mouth
your blood
our blood
when you open your eyes
don't hesitate
yesterday
and tomorrow
don't exist
yesterday
and tomorrow
are lies
ghosts
without faces
lifeless
meaningless
today is the only day
and it always is
it won't go away
wake up
the lights are on
...
