Winged critters flutter inside my chest Urging me to seek my rest, I confess I'm stressed and I've hardly addressed What's dragging me to my starlit nest Quivering breathe, these thoughts manifest With a clique of emotions left unexpressed Held to my vest,so finely dressed and finessed In a straightjacket to look at my best I'm alone, and rarely at my best Strip down, my jacket, my makeup, guard and disguise No more impressing faultless eyes Just uncovered underneath a starlit sky The sky seems to help temper down thoughts that drown Till familiar faces and voices of the night come down To remind me of who I am, and who I am Nothing more than a sham born matured and damned I see reflective respective prospectives And it might seem subjective but I'm not the architect of This vehicular vessel taking me to and fro And it bothers me everything moves slow Impatient, my patience will not show Look a distraction, I think I glow But In a moment passing headlights go And I sit passenger side with no glow you know 3 would load me in, 2 would take me away Give me reasons to wait and stay Not many more than 2, the crew with a front row view Could convince me that there is some beauty that's true While 5 would lay away, scraping to save a day There lies 2 more that would tug and battle to which I sway To one I am the prey, beg me stay away To the other I should pray but I'm just a passenger known to sway And in this passenger seat I can see everything Everything, emotion, fear and aspiration The driver won't speak to me, moving speedily So I sit and wait, I hate to wait, wish I could be sleeping If I could sleep, I might wake with another take Something less opaque and a lot less ache For the sake of feeling like I could overtake I'd like to sleep, but I need to stay awake Stay awake I can't fight when I'm asleep I'm just a prisoner afraid to take the leap I've abused my body, I don't sleep Out of fear and respect for the monsters that I keep I heard of other passengers, but don't see another passenger Do we have a different vernacular? It would be nice to have a similar traveler But then again I don't wanna open the door to my massacre Endless blood shed, close to mentally dead Dependent on who asks is to the truth that I've said Not too many pass me by, in the blink of an eye I stand by myself again in the dead of night In your ravine, it's distant at times and other times It's familiar, a pattern I can't discern How and why did I get here? Nothing is clear I worry sometimes at times my State is severe Cause when those things start to flutter Buffer, catch up, and I lose my color This sound and this light lose luster And this night and my fight take all I can muster Losing love for the cover Make a sound for a conductor Maintain a palace for my constructer Another mind to discover, but too tired to recover I don't know when these metaphors lose their taste When symbols and imagery move with too much haste When rhymes and riddles are exhausted And stories are just that; haunted For passengers like me Passenger: close of the tape Driver please the loop the record Cause this sound is so sweet Doesn't make me feel incomplete Passenger melody escape My breath will fog the glass it's blurred Sing out of tune and slay this beat In the passage of these streets
