To endure, by the skin of my teeth
Just to pass won’t do to make it through
In parts, spiritually, mentally, physically grade me
Disconnecting the senses
Looking for the limbs
I try to feel for it again, reaching up
Reaching out from the grave again
Through the numb
Looking to the parts to mend
You got me right in the chink of my armor
Just know I put up a fight
Blood, tears of the knight
Of the knight
Of the Knight
Peril mute fear
Tell me wrong from right
A nail biter, a pearl clutcher
It’s too late for me
To late to save me, it’s how I’m made to be
To die on my feet, a zombie
Stumble to fall repeatedly
I won’t accept defeat or sympathy
I won’t give up my fight
You got me right in the chink of my armor
Just know I put up a fight
Blood, tears of the knight
Of the knight
Of the Knight
Peril mute fear
Tell me wrong from right
A nail biter, a pearl clutcher
It’s too late for me
Too late to save me, it’s how I’m made to be
To die on my feet, a zombie
Stumble to fall repeatedly
I won’t accept defeat or sympathy
I won’t give up my fight
I look to reattach
Somehow grow it back, the feeling
The peace of mind they stole from me
Somehow grow it back, the feeling
The loss in battle that hardened me
Fingers hold me together
Still flesh velvet tears

Tower of Me

Where they can’t take me
Only on foot
This is a journey you can’t see
You follow but can’t lead
I didn’t die, I carry it inside
But it takes a piece of me away everyday
Up and down the Uzumaki spiraling staircase
The thoughts surface
Deep inside I knew, I knew it
Just being strong for me
I saw the loss coming
Against gravity
Standing on the backs of my past selves
Moving with their help
A synchronization of realization
Against gravity
The tower of me an age every story
A bird told me
The way of the butterflies showed me
The way the flowers whisper to me
And the way the storm shook
Took the fear from me
The way it always was
Never the because
Confidence in the unknown
Peace with the why did this choose us
As comfort of form in the void
I didn’t die, I carry it inside
But it takes a piece of me away everyday
Up and down the Uzumaki spiraling staircase
The thoughts surface
Deep inside I knew, I knew it
Just being strong for me
I saw the loss coming
Against gravity
Standing on the backs of my past selves
Moving with their help
A synchronization of realization
Against gravity
The tower of me an age every story
The quake as emotion moves through me
Against gravity

I will dream again, and we will meet again
Because I cope with beauty
And I cry with rage and hopelessness
For the one who spoke sweetly
Said he’d be waiting for me
With a smile I felt
And I still see vividly
I know he saved it just for me
Lover, bring your patience
Determination and fortitude to see it through
The utmost loyalty, lover
Eyes only for me
And I will dream again, and we will meet again, soon
Because I cope with beauty
And I cry with rage and hopelessness
A dash of fear
I love him dearly
The feeling of him stays with me
The radiance of him
The smile I still see vividly
Though he’s yet to return to me
I will dream again, and we will meet again
Because I cope with beauty
And I cry with rage and hopelessness
And I cry with rage, with rage
And hopelessness, careful elegance
A dash of fear, I’m shaking
I will dream again, and we met again, soon
Pray the feeling stays like you
Though your face fades from my memory
The feeling I remember locked in one of my many hearts
Archived away
And I will dream again, and we will meet again, soon, soon, soon
Because I cope with beauty
And I cry with rage and hopelessness
Careful elegance
Lover, bring your patience
Determination and fortitude to see it through
The utmost loyalty, lover
Soon, soon, soon

Peril

Became what I sought
It met me hunting in the dark
Still I can’t name it myself, myself
What I was really asking for
Better late than never
Burnt the bridges there’s no exit
There’s no exit
The years alone prepared me
Like no other ever could, care for me
Words they weren’t ready to hear
To speak it I wouldn’t even now
The consequences
All came with peril
No safety, no certainty
The stinger of the tongue
From the skull, the venom
My heart is open, and it speaks in piques
And it speaks in blood
Pounds for release with alarm
This is nothing new
I said I leader
They gave me a cause
With nothing to my name
I said a trailblazer
Question yourself
Acting on intuition, listen
The years alone prepared me
Like no other ever could, care for me
Words they weren’t ready to hear
To speak it I wouldn’t even now
The consequences
All came with peril
No safety, no certainty
The stinger of the tongue
From the skull, the venom
My heart is open, speaks in piques
And it speaks in blood
Pounds for release with alarm
