  7. Chaos Theory
  8.  
  9. Strange, it's an odd nothing we fear.
  10.  
  11. Things tend to balance through the madness,
  12. Even if the world is falling down, there's always
  13. Something to set it right.
  14. Some numbing notion that a perched atop
  15. Damning devotion - freedom from spiritual salvo - and now we're here.
  16. Somewhere behind enemy lines,
  17. That paint the green grass and black cosmos,
  18. I'm on their side.
  19. But somewhere, sometime, it's all just chaos.
  20. Covered by a seized curtain, beckoning to be devoted to.

  24. Body
  25.  
  26. Stretch my skin to your liking,
  27. Let me reach some status quo.
  28. Because I can feel your heartbeat rising,
  29. Even when you’ll go.
  30.  
  31. Some insatiable lust,
  32. For the prosperity of demise.
  33. Potent to the Earth’s crust,
  34. The potency I despise.
  35.  
  36. Shimmer, shatter,
  37. And rot your mind away,
  38. While even through that theoretical chatter,
  39. There’s no such thing as today.
  40.  
  41. Follow the notion that the stars,
  42. Will ever really bring you home,
  43. Incriminate yourself, Mars,
  44. And tear apart this body you own.
  45.

  48. Carpe Noctem
  49.  
  50. It comes down to some lack of light,
  51. The ironic lack of life,
  52. Some joking home of strife,
  53. For a mind to live by knives,
  54. Turn away or lose sight,
  55. Without any hope that you might
  56. Find home out of spite,
  57. Yet this home is only of fright,
  58. So you dream of a way into the bright,
  59. Now I think this probability is only slight,
  60. Or maybe your biggest blight,
  61. But the way to cease the stars, is to seize the night.
  62.

  65. Pas d'avenir
  66.  
  67. It comes and it goes,
  68. As it shines, ultralight.
  69. So in these gasoline singed clothes,
  70. I watch my past in fear and fright.
  71.  
  72. Beyond that, here I lay,
  73. It's said the writing was on the wall.
  74. I just wanted you all to stay,
  75. Before I started getting too tall.
  76.  
  77. And maybe now I'll realise,
  78. That I'll never care what "you heard".
  79. And even with all you advise.
  80. There's no such thing as no future.
  81.

  83.  
  84. Impermanence
  85.  
  86. Like some odd twin flame,
  87. Perches out through the digital windowpane,
  88. Some level of adoration, I dare to proclaim,
  89. But here it goes again, that feeling of shame.
  90.  
  91. Love's not a feeling, it's a choice,
  92. So I cut myself off from feeling rejoiced,
  93. Even when the only thing to light my brain is their voice,
  94. I had to suffocate my joys.
  95.  
  96. Focus up, this is no time to falter,
  97. Just find your will to alter,
  98. And destroy the image of the inglorious assaulter,
  99. And into some abyssal unknown we saunter.
  100.  
  101. Like some odd eternal flame,
  102. Perches out by a glass windowpane,
  103. Some level of adoration, I dare to proclaim,
  104. But here it goes again, I've lost my name.

  108. Oxygen
  109.  
  110. In the lapse of the whatevers,
  111. I found heaven,
  112. So heavenbound I stood in waiting, waitence, waiter,
  113. Some lines drawn in a deplorable way meant to a bittersweet light,
  114. Bitter night,
  115. Out of sight and mind.
  116.  
  117. You were right all my life,
  118. The haunt ends soon,
  119. I call you one last time on no caller id,
  120. Wish wash it away.
  121.  
  122. I don’t know what makes me hurt,
  123. I just know a good man is a fairytale,
  124. But I found you,
  125. Maybe I’ll make it some day.
  126.  
  127. Falling for you in a vacuum,
  128. Wipe off the residue,
  129. What do you become after an apocalypse?
  130.  
  131. Oxygen’s weightless, after all.
  132.

  135. In Case You Missed It
  136.  
  137. For old time's sake it's human nature,
  138. But it's all kind of parallel to the end of this time.
  139. A quiet evening is when the world ends,
  140. And I'm sorry for not telling you.
  141.  
  142. This rapture was unrecognisable,
  143. The skies are still blue,
  144. And the sun and her flowers still flourish,
  145. So what makes this a red light?
  146.  
  147. It's always been and will always be,
  148. Mind over what doesn't matter.
  149. The odds are starting to stack,
  150. Just don't let anything else shatter.
  151.  
  152. I gave every part of the world,
  153. Down to the bone,
  154. Down to the essence,
  155. To see that smile again.
  156.  
  157. I guess I didn't make it back home in time to see it.
  158.  
  159. Strange, it's an odd nothing we fear.
