Utter silence
no shame or humility
sitting behind these glass walls
come shattering down
Rain over me, shimmering glaze
as the blood poors right down the drain
sink within me, the only way to see
put together the pieces of my life of daze
tempting to nothing
revered by none
drowning in a sea of faces
running fast to nowhere
sit with me and watch the masses
scurry by like maids with no lasses
the rules don't apply
the game is not played
on my pedistol of dirt
i see everything and feel nothing
sure the light shines
and yes we are all one
but everything is nothing
and one crumbles beneath the other
revile me with reverence
of false notion
you look at me and think you see
and hushed as i am,
entertaining with my blank smiles
but you see nothing for which ive known always
bask in your own ignorance
while i move ahead
in bittersweet silence
for the sweet is never as sweet without the bitter
Oh these foolish games we play
and thoughtless words we say
what do they mean anyway?
nothingness in all its luster
I'm waiting to exhale
but I say without saying
Figure it out if you can
