(0283) intensity

the delusion has filled up its appetite, and melody has rotted away. while the young can't see through their pretense as their innocence was never there, the unstoppable can't be disregarded because change doesn't come at a natural pace. age breaks the mirror with apathy, and the subtleties are all we have left. blame the other person in front of you while you stand in line and wait your turn... we've all been inflicted with inner discord and lack the intensity that we crave, but as long as i'm paying in virtual currency, i'll never have to unlearn.

trade up your costs for your memories, and don't drive until you're fully awake. the movements that carry me closer are the same ones that push me away. fixed all your problems using denial and coincidence in spite of your actions, but in transparency, you'll fail like the rest of them. you'll look to your faith for what you wanna see and hear as a ton of bricks lays waste to all that is near. perceive lost blood as a wasted effort just because the wind decided to change. weather dictates your mood in the same way that i've learned to adapt. people are dying like flies, but then maybe that's all that we are. you'll stand in the middle with your cellular phone and chirp like the birds of disease.

car crash leaves me speechless in the echo of what i wish i could say. dream of a love for eternity and dream of death at the end of each day.

this air is swallowing the sea.
this water is making me feel green.
this moment is not unlike the rest, but i've never had to pass a harder test.
i listen close while moving down the road,
and i start to turn as soon as i see the curve.

it's all the same.
it's all the same.
it's all the same,
and i haven't changed,
but i feel changed.
