It looks like you lost another one Just another ghost in the graveyard, Playing host to the souls And the bones in the holes where they laying all remains and praying to fake gods With chains on the gates that stay locked, You may not remain on the main lawn So stray far away and take off, Nay not today I came of age in chaos and rain on parades, While they march in place, I play songs that break hearts in spades, With more loss than gained, Deranged thoughts, A box of crayons I create stars and draw the quasars in space While we wage war when detentes decay, I pay tribute Cause hey, someday I may just fade with you Got a range of strange issues displayed, Misplaced rage, shifting the blame Just to evade, and diffuse my aim, This is insane, a shame, a waste of brains tissue Just to maintain, this silly charade, Quickly drifting into the fray, Didn't think to escape Restraints clang in that chang gang, That bang bang, pistol whispers my name, Wishful thinking as I whistle refrains, Rearrange the pixels and frames, So you can get the picture I paint in hues of gray, Infused with shade, They misuse my name, They must be mistaken, Confused But I refuse to change So you can bury me alive if you want, I got more friends that are dead than are not, But would you let me live inside of your thoughts, I'm just looking for some place I can haunt I'm an M.C. Escher each-a-sketch And every step's an empty gesture, Cause it never gets me any sense of getting better, I'm shedding feathers As this heavy leather tether kept me captured In this misdirected vector, Heading to the center of this deadly weather, I'm very measured in my Technique, I perfected the expression of displeasure, And yes I am an expert and exceptionally clever And eclectic in my desperate questionable quest that I've endeavored, Daily waves are breaking under pressure, Acceptance tends to be evasive and escapes me And it's probably best that I forget Yet I kept every single letter that I sent, buried in my chest of treasures Directly next to all the things that I'll regret forever, And all together are the ones who slowly die alone, And the silence grows from dial tones, On the other side of phones, The island I am on Is made entirely of piles of bones, That I play like xylophones, I reside within a pirate's cove inside a giant skull, My mind is stuck in fight or flight, like I'm in crisis mode Rewinding time till I grow old and tired of the cycle, Writing notes and ciphers Trying to decipher codes, Like a blind man typing, I can't find the words to describe the sight of so much dying, My eyes are like kaleidoscopes, Winding and colliding In a vibrant glow of lights and tones, And violet roses dyed in white like snow, I might just strike a pose, And sit here like a stone, In a wild grove And mark the graves of someone I don't know, I don't know
