Walk in the Round

Walk in the round
Keep my mind around

You've made it here, scene seven take one
Naked and bare, you've seen it all, and if I may hun
It's so strange to talk to you about how for some reason
I came undone, unravelled and now unstrung
I walk my block the same back streets and trees as I walk by
Greeted by the empty lanes I walk through just drift by
Walk to nearest shop, translucence stares and nods to me
From this ghost I purchase cardboard tubes and translucent reed
DIY destruction is all I seem to do and need
Kinda told you though
I'm a fiend eh so
Well its hard to show
Frozen cannot grow
Stop how I don't know
Walking past formless shapes
Staring at the pebble dash
Dreaming of magnolia ash
Stuck on this rock like a rash
Great ones felt like fakes once
But I cannot live like this
I'd end it all in a flash
To the edge I dash

Walk in the round
Keep my mind around
Living through sound
Lost in waves I drown

You know what you want but you won't go and take it man
Knowing how is harder than working out that you span
Out of control, thinking that you're on a roll
Never assessing your role
Or that burden the toll
Is being taken from your life and liberty
Named freedom and civility
Self-scrutinize with CCTV
But with yourself you never self CC
Why not just copy thee
Into the loop
Always keep your eyes on thee
Yet how can't you see
I ain't been happy since well
I think I was thirteen
Yeah I must been
I started to glean
Idea of a self and all I thought I knew a dream
Ripped at the seams
Lost in my teens
I was stuck there pal
In my own locale
Emptied of morale
Hoping that I shall
Emerge one day
Make my own way
So I just wait
That's my mistake
What use is waiting
Or self placating
You'll wait forever
You'll dry like leather
Skin tough and weathered
But you'll sit on them
Nest that egg
Till it hatches and the shock you'll feign
You'll beg in rain
For a leg to stand on in vain
You waited for change
But you've got to self-arrange
Re-arrange
Till the pieces fit
And you make sense
Ignore past tense
You can change right now
You're here right now
There's no blame now pal
Just breathe
Breathe
You can grieve
Just breathe
