Lately, Lightly

Lately We've been Sinking Thinking Breathing Seething Missing Kissing Maybe If we'd Forgive We will Believe in a future bright Only to fail every time Slightly Sighing Why Dying Crying, prying Asking why Everything is Not alright Debates Heated Defeats Repeated Cheated Cheating Mistreated Repeating Lightly Craving Behaving Saving One more night For one more fight One more time For one more try Is this the end of everything? One more winter warmed by spring Countless tears monsooned our years Endless summers sunned our fears Everything right has gone wrong Everything here feels long gone Hunted, haunted by ghostly faces Hideous thoughts hidden in cages Hopeless embraces do cling To a final dangling string This has gone on for far too long But how could life ever go on? Mouths contort and gasp for words Explanations stand absurd Voices drown in these silent seas Falling prey to familiar beasts Movements spurned by violence What once did, makes no sense What never did, is all that matters One more son becomes his father Memories built on fantasy Futures stacked on memory Desperate animals to the slaughter There was once perhaps a daughter There was once perhaps a daughter Lately We've been Sinking Thinking Breathing Seething Missing Kissing Maybe If we'd Forgive We will Believe in a future bright Lately We've been Thinking Drinking, high Seeking meaning We can't find Out of sight Out of our minds Debates Sedated Defeats Instated Cheated Repeated Mistreated Impeded Slighted Sighing Blighted Dying Crying, accepting why Everything has gone awry Waiting Seated Hating Beaten Hatred Stated Faded Fated We've been Misbehaving Raving Paving, the way For one last night And one last fight One last rhyme For one last time For one last night For one last try For one last ride For one last time For one last time For one last crime For the very last time
