Dot.

Ignore the aesthetics
Create meaning out of nothing
Create nothing out of everything

Motion Picture Soundtrack - Radiohead

More lyrics I am in complete awe of.






Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get back where I belong

I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe

Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
Its not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe

I will see you in the next life

Oblivious

All so oblivious

I watch you smile and laugh
Watch you all enjoy each others company

Watch all of you act like there isn't a care
in the World

It makes me die inside.

Today

I'm tired I'm tired
I'm tired of this mask
Distract me distract me
It's all I ever ask

Six hours of torture
I had to endure
Repressing repressing
Composing myself, not so sure

The sight of a text
Burned my eyes in italics
For I was numb
So numb

Heart

I gathered composure as I stared
Burying my face into the papers I held
The sky was gloomy
A mirror of as it was this very time before
Nothing but a memory I would love to cast ashore

My heart sank walking through the busy street
Gulping my drink bit by bit
Playing songs that remind me. Just remind me
I needed to gain composure, badly
I hopped in his car, smiling gladly

Back on track
Corner of my eye
Walking through
Lifted
I smiled.

Re-analyse
Re-think
Re-do
Re-peat?

Three

For the fucking truth is
I miss you

For the fucking truth is
I ask why you leave

I ask why you leave all the time
It's a question that i've never got an answer for
It's a question that I want to be answered
As soon as possible

______________

I need you bro
So fucking much

You don't have any idea

I'm going to hold on until lunch
It's going to be my biggest mission

For I had nobody but you 30 hours a week
7 day a week
For the last 12 months

____________

I'm worrying about you
Through this drunken state

I'm hoping all is well
And you don't do something stupid

Life is hard like this

Smile

Conclusion reached
While satisfaction is mildly accomplished

Drowsy as I write
Eyes burning slowly

For it's all done
I hope

No longer filled
Any detail of torment

Realisation has occurred
Epiphany reached

I am smiling
Only smiling

Untitled

Words are meaningless
Words are useless
Words are what we used to construct meaning
Words are an escape and an excuse to how we feel

Show not tell
Words are a limitation

The ability to use words
Succinctly
Concisely
Such brilliance is a skill

Yet it limits us.
We're restricted.
Restricted by the confines of language
Never to be broken

Sanctuary

My escape
My sanctuary

Not a place found in books
You can't read about it

You can't 'be there'
You can't just 'go there'

Within the confines of my mind
My escape is there
My sanctuary is there

It makes me feel
It keeps me sane
Makes me feel real

Lost in a trance
Always.

When escaping, I lose control
I escape reality

We have our place.
Once you find it
Embrace it
Cherish it

Let it not be a physical one
But one where you can access
At any time of day
At the tick of a trigger

Live in it
Love it.

Backspace

Wrote this ages ago

The amount of times
We press backspace
Imagine the words that slip away

How many 'I love you''s
Would we all have missed

How many 'I need you''s
Would have drifted by

Those last words to a friend
Would never be heard

That last desperate attempt
Would have been flawed

Think.

How would your life be
If all we could do was press enter
Never erasing your words
All out for the person to read

If I didn't have a
Would we
Would you
Where would
What

Subjectivity

Subjectivity
Signified
Signifier

Drawing components
Drawing relationships
Drawing pictures
Painting memories

Heavily induced into nostalgia
Hence, this is never explained

Subjectivity
Signified
Signifier

Untitled

Ignoring the convictions
Surpassing the doubt
Burning the idiocy
Regardless of the amount

Destroy the views
Kill the lights
Move forward
Regardless of what's right

It's set in stone
One ear out the other
Otherwise
It's broken

Heavy cynicism
Little to no narcissism
Plethora of pessimism
Reject the voice that's in your within

Stage

Bright lights
Shine upon the stage
I stare at the crowd
Thousands of glaring eyes
Looking at me

I play.

Definition

Every facet of it
Under every definition
Screaming screaming screaming
Pervading tradition

None can accurately describe
What the eyes can see
They're blurred with a haze
Speechless at the heart, only to dream

Every hour turns
Into one minute
For every minute
Alive within it

Seven passes
Six lives
Five smiles
Four tension builds

Three closing
Two close to end
One reminiscing
For there's something to mend

Boy who blocked his own shot

I'll just be posting lyrics from some artists which I think... Are just genius, sublime and poetically beautiful.

The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot - Brand New

If it makes you less sad
I will die by your hand
I hope you find out what you want
I already know what I am
And if it makes you less sad
We'll start talking again
And you can tell me how vile
I already know that I am

I'll grow old
And start acting my age
I'll be a brand new day
In a life that you hate
A crown of gold
A heart that's harder than stone
And it hurts a whole lot
But it's missed when it's gone

Call me a safe bet
I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad you that can forgive
Only hoping as time goes
You can forget

If it makes you less sad
I'll move out of the state
You can keep to yourself
I'll keep out of your way
And if it makes you less sad
I'll take your pictures all down
Every picture you paint
I will paint myself out
It's as cold as a tomb
And it's dark in your room
When I sneak to your bed
To pour salt in your wounds
So call it quits
Or get a grip
Say you wanted a solution
You just wanted to be missed

Call me a safe bet
I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive
I'm only hoping as time goes
You can forget
So you can forget
You can forget

You are calm and reposed
Let your beauty unfold
Pale white like the skin
Stretched over your bones
Spring keeps you ever close
You are second hand smoke
You are so fragile and thin
Standing trial for your sins
Holding onto yourself the best you can
You are the smell before the rain
You are the blood in my veins

Call me a safe bet
I'm betting I'm not
I'm glad that you can forgive
I'm only hoping as time goes
You can forget

Promise

For I will try with all my breadth
my heart
my body
my soul

I will keep this.

Mountains will move
Seas will part
Skies will turn black

Trekking right through

Through fire
Through brimstone
Through lava
Through volcanoes
Through eruption

Through the coldness of winter
Through the blizzards
Through glaciers
Through iceburgs

Through the lightning
Through the thunder
Through the storm

Through the end of the World
Through hell
Through heaven
Through purgatory

I will keep it.
Promise.
I promise I promise.
I promise I promise I'll keep it.

Word

Meaning of a word
Captures ones soul

That's it.
Just it.

It is what it is.
I cannot explain it.

It just is.

Inspiration

Old one.

We leave the shadows of our past behind
In turn to grow and nourish our inner selves
The shadows haunt us wherever we go
But that is a part of life

Letting go of what you used to be
Embracing what you have become

Develop from the days
Harmonious for the hours
Miraculous for the minutes
Smile for the seconds

Move forward
Not behind
Because the World
Won't wait for you

Life

Smile because you deserve to
Breathe because it's a necessity
Laugh because it's the best medicine

Cry to let it all out
Hurt because it's proof you're human

Live because it's the only thing you can do.

Seasons

Summer

I walk through the street, Sun in my face
Feeling the cool breeze fill my lungs with euphoria
Grass pushing upwards against my feet
Gravity trying to pull me down, while I always pull myself upwards

Autumn

I walk through the street, clouds in my face
Feeling the cool breeze fill my lungs with happiness
Dying grass pushing upwards against my feet
The trees are turning a shade of brown, slowly.
Gravity trying to pull me down, while I struggle to pull myself upwards

Winter

I walk through the street, bleak sky raining down
Feeling the cold cold air, fill my lungs with metaphorical liquid nitrogen
Dead, cold grass pushing upwards against my body
The trees are dead.
Gravity has almost won, while I crawl, and crawl
I crawl until I can crawl no more
To die in winter, to shrivel in the cold

Winter

I'm still crawling through the cold grass
I can almost see it
Almost.
Just almost.

Spring

Ponder

Learning, learning
Each day
We think and think
Each day

It's a constant process
Dumping the innards of our heads
Filling it with new lessons
New ideas

Utter simplicity
So intricate so beautiful
No longer devoid of appreciation
We smile

We smile to our view of Heaven
We smile to our view of Hell
We smile to our view of Earth
We smile to what we've learnt

For this could be nihilistic
So existentialistic
Philosophers cannot fathom
Such logic for a complex subject

We revel in our sorrows
Revel in our joys
Forever wondering
Why we are so devoid

For I shall sleep tonight
In my warm bed
Pondering pondering pondering
Until I give into my head

Awake

Wrote this ages ago.

Dim light fades through my eyes
Immobile I stay

Blinds block my view of sight
Scaring the night away

Imamate objects gazing at nothing
Intense breathing ensues

Heartbeat racing
Indescribable feuds
Welding within myself

The embers of emotion
Pry through my veins

As I lay awake in bed
All thoughts astray.

Breathe

Breathe in
Breathe out

Inhale
Exhale

Inwards
Outwards

Oxygen flowing
Through my veins

Sight fading
Sight regaining

Fall into sleep
Fall out of slight

Remnants of the night before
Remnants of the morning after
It still... Does

Hollowing out my innards
Open for all to see
People stop and stare
Envelope everything, lock it tight

You seal it with your mouth
Overlap it with your tongue
Underneath it all, concealed forever

Are we satisfied with the contents
Reading them for one last time before
Everything is thrown in the fire

Heavily sedated with thoughts
After the gasoline of epiphany
Pours on the sealed envelope
Purposely setting it alight with
Yesterdays thoughts, moving into tomorrow

Free

Pour it out
Leave it be
Burning eyes
Tears to dry

Learn
and learn again
For such is life

Wander around the concrete
Thoughts captured within my head
Struggling to face upwards

I walked over
Sat down
Started thinking

My mind shrivels
Back into its hole
Sitting on this chair
I don't even need to care

Street Lights.

This one, I wrote... Ages ago.



Street Lights

Walk past
Every street light
It's all the same
One by one
One by one

Emitting the same glow
Extruding the same light
Programmed with the same watts
Just boring.

Stride down the street
as the cold air fills your lungs
Aware of the clones of street lights
Again
and again


Come across a broken light
Gaze in curiousity
That's about it, just keep walking.

Spend all your time trying to find a unique light.
One on its own.
It can be found in its glow.
Its light
Its watts
Its shape
Its size
It could just be the way the moonlight reflects off the bulb
Or how this light is moved in a different way.


Then again...
Sometimes you think you've found a unique light that catches your eye
But it ends up being exactly like all the others.
Just the same.
Just the same.


Over and over again.
This cycle continues.
Until morning...
You can really see
What the lights for what they were.
What they really were.
What they are.

But nobody cares.
Nobody looks.
Nobody pays attention.
Just because a light glows at night
Doesn't mean that's all it's good for.


Take for granted this light.
Before.
It.
Just.
Fades off.
Into.
The.
Morning.
Morning.
Never.
Never.
To.
Be.
Noticed.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again.

Heavy

I have a heavy heart within
It is not broken nor shattered
I actually feel it there for once
Yet it's the opposite thing that occurred

I do not understand
I cannot fathom
I may never know

Not too involved
I just do not understand

My heart is heavy
I feel real
Technically it's not
Luckily I held no close attachment

Six hundred odd versus four
I know where I stand here
It's just not fair,
Not to the individual anyway

Be oblivious to your happiness
Please egg on and on
Make decisions yourself
We can only guide

For i'm not sure if this is
Out of feeling or concern
