Artificial Empathy

in silence I reflect
on instances that we've let slip by
self loathing I resent
yet welcome as it seeps inside
I realize that theres no use
you've made up your mind. it's done. move on.
I can't just let it go.
this wound wont heal itself
It looks like this is all we have
a fading glimpse of what we
used to be
A passing smile
I'm broken;
a long lost memory
I can't let go
I won't let go
I can't let go
I won't let go
years later I reflect
on instances that we've let slip by
what did we have? I forget
it wasn't what I thought it meant
I realized I was used
I've made up my mind. I'm done. I'm gone.
I had to let it go
and now the wound is healed.
It looks like this is all we have
a fading glimpse of what we
used to be
A passing smile
i'm broken;
a long lost memory
It looks like this was all you had
a fading interest in what
we could be
we're broken
i guess it's nothing more than
artificial empathy
i can let go
I must let go
I can let go
I must let go
Touching everything,
(echoed)
searching hopefully
(echoed)
breaking mentally
(echoed)
decoding what I see
(echoed)
Feeling empathy
(echoed)
Hidden within me
(echoed)
Trying everything
(echoed)
Flying in between
(echoed)
Landing on the sea
(echoed)
Floating endlessly
(echoed)
Voices whispering
(echoed)
somewhere
I can't see
They sing to me, and now I rise
They carry me, we harmonize
into the light,
I can't lose
I won't lose
I can't lose
I won't lose

Imaginary Friend

Knocking on the door where fear resides,
I'd been sent away,
waiting on the fight
Analyzing all i'd ever seen,
what it felt to me,
how it held to me,
Lost at sea the child in me
drifts away,
unforseen duality
every day,
Everything I've built my life into,
now feels different,
the past feels buried.
Realizing that I'm home again,
the shadow's cast,
but i'm still lost.
All I have (GREED)
all i've lost (pain)
here I am (hell)
where I belong (I belong)
I've grown into what I've become in fear of who I am. (Lost)
Organizing all the dissonance,
i'm such a pessimist,
I've scratched the surface.
Lost at sea the child in me
finds it's way,
lessons come from history
life is synchronicity,
Emotions always get the best of me,
I forget the rest of me,
needs some focus.
Why do I go through this?
why can't I refuse this?
Is this what abuse is?
(It's useless.)
All I have (greed)
all i've lost (pain)
here I am (hell)
where I belong (I belong)
I've grown into what I've become in fear of who I am.
Lost
Mirror, mirror,
who are you now?
take me back
to who I was before
I need you, i need you, i need you back
nearer, nearer now.
I feel you I feel you alive,
the warmth you brought
that made everything right,
I need you, I need you, i need you in my life.
waves ripple in the sun in the middle of oblivion,
the wind takes the sails as I set for the shores,
invisible to me.
the feeling is right as I head to the edge of it,
but I'm not really sure.
The air in my lungs makes me feel like a child again,
the stars fill my eyes as I move towards the dark,
pulling from under, the fear doesn't start this time.
And as I go down, I become whole again,
All of this fight I've had for so long,
took away from what I'd become.
Hide and seek,
forgotten you'd played,
hidden away,
from you to see.
Hide and seek,
forgotten you'd played,
hidden away,
from you to be
Yourself.
My existence is limited,
two eyes forward, bias tilted,
My existence is spirited,
three eyed intuition,
Mirror, Mirror
I see you now.
I hear you, i hear you.
calling me out.
Mirror, Mirror
you're broken again,
this time I won't believe.
You're pretend.
It's pretend.

Self

Some time is all we have, it never gets easy,
We're troubled by the grab, I wish it away,
Wish it away
Self.
That's all there is.
When choices start to fade and life goes
down
and down.
and down.
Maybe there's something around
the turn...
Maybe if I just hold on a little longer I'll be found.
I'm getting a glimpse of forever.
The riddle gets harder.
but I feel like I know this one.
pieces burn, but they expose the sillhouette.
by pulling together maybe i'll find myself yet.
Boredom
pleasures me
Sleeping
just to breathe
Falling
endlessly
Waking
Up to dream.
Keeping
All to me
Leaving
sanity.
Being
anything.
Begging
Gravity.
Some time is all we have, it never gets easy,
We're troubled by the grab, I wish it away,
Wish it away
I must let go.
Sometimes it's hard to fake, I fake my best alone.
Mistakes are all I have, they're what I call my own.
I don't want the stains, the numbing hurts too long.
The spotlight of my mind, has wandered since the dawn.
Feeling like a slave, a master I can't see,
The chains are cold and bound, and now they surround me.
seeking a new way, to break my mental leash.
I must let go.
Some time is all we have, it never gets easy,
We're troubled by the grab, I wish it away,
I Wish it away
I must let go.

The Seer

I've spent my time in life, analyzing everything, I've been
breaking it all down to the source, the systems are deafening.
How many times can I scream, before you hear what I saying?
I need some help in this, I don't want to be the only one to escape.
See beyond the lies,
the world is the puzzle,
the pieces can fit inside,
the eye is the gift to the mind.
I watch you, I learn you, but you never learn,
I need you and want you, but you never yearn,
How are we supposed to unify again?
If you can't even acknowledge?
fractured perceptions that drift into space,
but I know that we are a reflection, misconceived by our face,
we want to be different, but kept in the game to live,
the journey gets easier without a name to give,
You are ego.
Why?
You can let it go.
Try.
countless eyes, and the tears that they've cried, for nothing,
a fleeting response to stimuli, another breath is gone,
justified for the feelings we're overcoming,
but how much time have we wasted on, what we have become?
We don't remember everything that's missing,
some bigger piece of something that we can't deny any longer,
hidden in our focus, just beyond our comprehension,
feeling something, changing in us slowly,
the differences between us seem like fiction and agenda,
I notice and push the fear away
and find the love and focus on
the eye
Our eye
We see again,
finally we are released from fear
Free will makes me
Free will makes me
Free will makes you
Free will makes us
(see)feel,
fear,
fear,
fear,
God.
