I wish I could burn the skeletons that I grew

The ones I never let go as I became new

I guess the past holds my presence

Maybe that's what gives me this hesitance

I broke threw the fence when I ran away

Still pulling out splinters to this day

Sometimes I wonder how it would have been

If I was born and raised comfortable around my kin

Where a man of few words is forged

Where a boy amongst men was raised

Where I learned I needed to leave if I wanted to keep the rest of my days

I guess the past holds my presence

[thesealslayer]

If you were to die tomorrow

I wouldn't want to live another day

And yet I'd die to get away

Will we crumble and fall apart like clay

Because you and me are just unfired pottery

Longing for what could have been

What is still being created

To put it all to an end

All sides heavily debated

Have we ever been on the mend?

Or is it all just delapedated?

Is it all just pretend?

I've been trying to pick myself up lately

How much longer can we remain on shakey ground?

Aren't I supposed to be missing you right now?

I was hoping things would start to come around

I think you may have to move on your own

I'm just worn down and want to be alone

I can't support us both with only my tired bones

We're trying to write a book in this burning home

So let's part ways on this gloomy day

Never thought we would end up this way

I guess it was fate to have me writing again

Because in the end, you and me have crumbled like clay

We're just unfired pottery

Turned into an atrocity

Founded on hypocrisy and stress

Was this truly our best

Now all that is left is sleeping in seperate rooms

Filled with gloom and doom

[thesealslayer]

What chance are we on now

So far passed second that I've lost count

Maybe love requires a worse memory than I have

But I've given it every ounce

Separation shouldn't feel so natural

Maybe the distance is just lateral

Already separated but without the space in between

Wishing we could forgo the collateral

And I never wanted to set your world in fire

But happiness is my one desire I can't find here

The last thing left to share is a few tears

This is the end my dear

I'm ready to stop pretending

[thesealslayer]

Fell truly and madly for a girl in the frozen lands

With a heart of fire and a passion for me

She put my faith back in the world and her love in my hand

So I returned the favor by telling her she can

She can do anything she wants and anything she desires

Seems all she desired was me

So we set sail to see the world

In a van built for 2

Through fires and a heat wave in a land neither of us knew

She always kept me whole so I returned the favor

When the van broke down I came to be her savior

She learned a new skill and finally knew she could

She loves me deeper than I ever could

[thesealslayer]

Let's make a five year plan

In a land neither of us know

A place we've never seen but a place we can grow

Let's make a five year plan on two years of time

You've invested in me, I hope to always call you mine

Take my hand and skip away

We can take it day by day...

Good intentions for unguaranteed success

We'll make it one way... or another...don't forget that sundress

It's so great to undress...

But we got places to be and new world's to see

I'll meet you back here at five!...

A kiss, a hug and a warm coffee mug

This is how it feels to be alive

I'll ask you again, do you remember when?

When we spent those 3 months in 20 square feet

You'd think eventually you'd be tried of me...

But here we are

With a kiss good bye, to drive our separate ways

To chase our tails and pay someone else's bills

It's a life you help me fill

Let's make a life time of plans

Since these last ones worked so well

Let's make some stories to tell about life since I fell

Since this last one went so well

An anniversary feels more of a birthday

I was never alive till the first day

The first day I met you

Since then I knew where I was heading to

And who life was bring me to

The person I am is the person you grew

A life spent happy is something new

Let's make a life time of plans, me and you

[thesealslayer]

Guess I'm a college dropout

Tried that shit but had to hop out

Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings

You're telling me this is the only thing that can make a brain sing?

I'll find my own way

I'll create my tomorrow today

The way that I say

At least that's what I say since I can't see it fading away yet

[thesealslayer]

Ripples of peach and purple

Sitting on the bench

The sinking floating circle

[thesealslayer]

Rosey cheeks and strawberry hair

Sleepless smiles and the warmest of stares

Driving all day just to spend one with you

You can't tell anything but the truth

Would we have happened if it wasn't for the booth?

Would we have happened if it wasn't for the truth?

•

Days spent from ear to ear

Month to month, no one can hear

When you bumped into me with every chance

So fortunate we have the same plans

What was I to do?

What was I to do?

•

I wasn't all in anyways

I kept some to spare for another day

But I guess we both lied anyways

I guess only one of us tried anyways

Leave me time tied anyway

Fuck me over any way

I guess we'll call again some other day

•

I guess a year's passed and we haven't talked in any way

I guess you called me on a prank today

I guess I missed the distorted memories

It's missing all the pain on me

Waiting on you all day

I guess you called me on a prank today

I guess I'm just a prank anyways

[thesealslayer]

When I'm to sleep alone I don't sleep at all

Appalled, in awe, as I watch all my time so quickly drain through the hour glass

It happens twice as fast without you here

[thesealslayer]

If I'm a little under the weather,

how do I find pleasure underneath these clouds?

When do I receive the letter saying I've been found?

With a foggy life, I'm bound to be lost

One day i'm sure it will come around,

But at what cost?

[thesealslayer]

Today is today

And tomorrow will be today

But yesterday will always be yesterday

[thesealslayer]

Maybe I'm lesser for not being an impresser on paper

But hear me out: in about 20 or 30 you'll realize life is sporty

It takes a second to see your life neglected

Old and you spent it staying hectic

While I've been selective

Found myself, forming my own collective.

I have my direction

And thats invaluable

Am I keeping it palpable?

I don't have a sheet of paper saying I'd pay it back later

But I'm driven and centered to endure any winter

[thesealslayer]

It's going to be a change

It's going to rearrange

It's going to be uphill

There's going to be pain

There will be days of rain

But it's going to still be easier

It's going to be the future

It's going to seal and suture

It's going to provide relief

Financial frivolity

Escape from poverty

Begin to begin

Selling my reliable and capable compact suv that has a hearty monthly payment for something that will probably break down every once in a while; that I will be cursing and that I will hate at times is a very suspicious act...but the outcome is to be more independent. To stress less about bills.

To get deeper into myself and the wilderness.

To learn a skill.

And to begin again, the process of living.

Here's to starting yet again. Probably not the last start over...but starting to save money, starting to build wealth, and starting to grow, learn and become the next me, while maintaining who I've work so hard to become.

[thesealslayer]

Distant love and platonic affection

Video calls to maintain the connection

Split through the middle by an infection

The home-bound hero holding their ground

A lackluster feeling so profound

Awaiting a cure "inbound"

Stuck in solitary confinement; how much can they endure?

For sure it shouldn't last much longer?

That that may actually kill us makes us stronger

[thesealslayer]

I don't care what you vote,

I don't care what you wrote,

I care when you don't respect my right.

Practice what you preach.

let my opinions belong to me.

Let me protest peacefully.

Inaction is the key to me.

Because the system is fucked

I will not beg for what's not enough;

A taxation without representation.

If you want me to vote,

and to paddle your boat,

show me when it was counted.

Make sure the peoples are louder than the people.

Don't look to the steeple.

Let everyone's voice be equally heard.

No recounts, no bullshit.

Count the votes. That's it.

And lets all move on with this downward spiral.

Tomorrow will become today.

Hate will be shown either way.

No matter whos name gets rung...

So leave me out of it.

I'm tired of this inconsiderate spouting of bullshit.

[thesealslayer]

Good at everything but loving yourself

Hold all things highly except your own health

So please, my dear, kindly acknowledge your inner wealth

For you are mighty with all you've been dealt

Next time you see a candle, know you won't melt

You've withstood flames taller than yourself
