When will the inadequate overcome the adequate
and not have to relapse and collapse into myself
When will the imperfect out-due the perfect
and not have to relapse and collapse into myself
Portray and display this mediocre mimicry of life at half-mast,
half-past midnight in the dismal twilight of streetlights,
manipulating and manifesting in the ever-increasing yet ever shrinking Mute City
When may I relapse and collapse, into arms other then my own?
Set out toward the setting sun in hopes of something more
Praying in fear and faith of something greater,
with no reason to turn tail
Straddle me down, run me to the ground, drag me around
Nothing more then a sinking ship
Regret tied itself somewhere around me,
constantly reminding me-
I can’t carry even my own weight
My best has never been and will never come to be
I’m not the boy I was, but never the man I will be
The swell of the ocean and the swell of my own
"Tie me up!"
(Drop Anchor!)
"Untie me!"
When was I ever brave?
When was I ever anything at all?
yep
