Albatross

I saw the writing on the wall
Chains of words that can't recall
A lovelorn world
Laced with poison

Lately I've been drawing thin
Bridges back to what I've been
This war-torn soul has its
Moctezuma complex
Like a curse forbearing
What's holding me back?

It's either all at once
Or none at all
Will I remember
What's holding me back when I'm below?

You only listen when you're least inspired
You're only watching when you're blind
And when you fly like a dawn
Was it all worth the doubt you gave?
Give this all a rest
Take your time; you've earned it
And trust you'll always find
A coveted darkness

Fly in unpainted skies
Closer to the sun
Like the albatross, keep holding on
You'll survive and sublime
Time keeps moving in circles of pride
Like how wishes
Stir the nostrums we breathe
All in doubt
Just like knowing

Though we rise to the close
So close as we are
To finding endings edgeways
In the silence
There are spaces
Haunting every day
Humble, never ashamed
Like the empty, we suffer
Let faith renew your hope
And crumble slowly

Time flies
And will shed its true feathers in waves

You only listen when you're least inspired
You're only watching when you're blind
And when you fly like a dawn
Was it all worth the doubt you gave?
Give this all a rest
Take your time; you've earned it
And trust you'll always find
A coveted darkness

Silent virtues muster silent dreams
Overwhelming even resplendence
Untangled boldly, these vanished themes
I'm alive now
They survive somehow

You keep on thinking
That one night stands darker
Than every day shines bright
For once, it seems that it's clear in time
Reaching out
The wind has cut you up
And left your wounds to dry
Is all the love we find
Still written upon our broken hearts?
If so, for how long?

Echo with some praise
We won't define like our dreams
