Middle Points

My words are extended
To the view
Of the long-lost, and mended
The accused
Who wait by a window
Framed in a void
Our timid and timeless
Middle points
Kept in a state
An aimless fate
Which no one knows where to go
They treat me like friends did,
Long ago
Familiar, invested,
Say hello
They wait by a window
That I know
They ask me to lead them
I say no
But who are you to say,
That I know a way,
I’m just an ailing soul,
Same one you all saw go
Out in the middle point
For a place to go and call my own

Old King (raw)

Cancer,
Grieven queen,
Keep in tandem,
Tambourine
Call me,
The old king,
Worn in the world,
And kept inside my keep
Reward for the end is,
Bittersweet.
The only parting gift
An effigy
Up in the roof
Down to the floor
"I won't be here anymore"
"I won't be here anymore"
"I won't be here anymore"
Cancer,
Grieven queen,
Bring what remains,
Inside the mausoleum
Pyre,
Lick me clean,
Reduce me to,
Nothing more than memory
Reward for the end is,
Bittersweet.
The only parting gift
my effigy
Up in the throne
Down in the moors
"I won't be here anymore"
"I won't be here anymore"
"I won't be here anymore"
Wailing ancient virtue,
In decay,
Feel the constitution,
Burnin' in.
Chemically deep,
Comedy show.
I won't be here anymore.
I won't be here anymore.
I won't be here anymore.

Chameleon
Concealed in all that you see
I’m curious
If blind would you ever change?
I’m leaving
Turn this doorway till I tumble in
We cling deep
Connected by scars on the skin
Empathy
Always there in the end
Empathy
Always kept for the end
Empathy
Always saved for a friend
Empathy
Always meant for the mend
Empathy
I’m walking and talking, god only knows
What this means when it relates to you
Progression regression impressed by the standstill a sandstorm whips up with your view
I’m broken inside
Repaired and appraised in a glance
By strangers I find
Sharing flaws happenstance
Empathy
Always there in the end
Empathy
Always kept for the end
Empathy
Always saved for a friend
Empathy
Always meant for the mend
Empathy
