BREAK/shatter

 BREAK/shatter

How long can you ride high

Seeing the sky and its splendor

And the ground and a free fall

How long can you pretend 

To be right with all you endure 

Without building a wall 

I don’t say enough

Until it’s too late 

I’m not good enough

To be here alright 

(Silent invisibility)

I’m one failure away

A single fall from grace

That one misstep until

I break, I shatter beyond help

The pieces at your feet 

And the points that your fingers make 

Don’t echo when it’s silent 

The pieces I leave here

The things left for arguments sake 

When you could just be present 

I’m scared for my soul 

But I’m just a take 

I just hope my soul 

Is what you can make

(Into some golden holy dust)

I’m one failure away

A single fall from grace

That one misstep until

I break, I shatter beyond help

Are the cracks showing

In my demeanor 

Am I crumbling

Under my choices

Of course I am

I’m looking down

And I can’t look up 

I can’t focus I’m a mess

And no one that matters knows this 

Silent invisibility 

Into some golden holy dust 

I’m one failure away

A single fall from grace

That one misstep until

I break, I shatter beyond help

When I splinter

And fragment

From reality 

Save your tears

And flowers 

It’s all selfish lies. 

I’m one failure away

A single fall from grace

That one misstep until

I break, I shatter beyond help

Silent invisibility 

Into some golden holy dust
