dereliction

Had a taste, caught a glimpse, ran away, ran away For the sake of the tango between cowardice and fate What to do, what to say, how to behave Crawling out from the ruins, for God's sake Had a taste, caught a glimpse, ran away, ran away What to do, what to say It feels so foolishly short sighted Apparitions taking over body and mind It feels so foolishly misguided Fighting for control and losing either way Vindicated through ruination Mirrored remnants line the ground An unnerving frustration Spirit now enveloped by the clouds Running from sleep, running from dreams Can't take the risk of being seen Running from sleep, running from dreams Praying to god for something to break 'Cause if it breaks down all the way it can be built back up It's been done one too many times, grieving the pieces lost Gaps in between growing farther apart every time I worry The mind has a knack for cruel trickery Under all this pressure Something inside has to give in, give in, give in Fighting for morsels of mercy, mercy, mercy Contending with eternal days and the ache of the chains Doomed to run around in circles drawing maps And to question any moment of lucid serenity Contrived faith in weak foundations What else is there to hold onto? An illusion so delicate yet it's all that remains Doomed to run around in circles drawing maps And to question any moment of lucid serenity Contrived faith in weak foundations What else is there to hold onto? An illusion so delicate yet it's all that remains
