Distracted
I hear my floor shake
From your new life and all i can take
Are you real to your other?
Or following close?
I let you live so much more
And you were coming in your own
Don’t be distracted,
I won’t be distracted
With the flicker of this light
i wont.
Don’t be distracted,
i won’t be distracted
slamming ceilings and doors
falsehoods and floors.

Eyes
Right before my eyes
I saw my whole world disappear
ghosts in the hallways
and moments of anxious fear
Right before my eyes
I saw the stairs under my feet
shared thoughts and conversation
had an open place to meet
Right before my eyes
I saw the new become old
The exhausted nights and reward
for doing more than I was told
Well it’s time to shut these eyes
Along with these doors
Won’t be making it back, not anymore
I’ll mourn this loss before it’s gone
Right before my eyes see what’s wrong.

Since it’s been two years this song hit everyone’s ears, here’s some nostalgia.
My iPhone recording of Needtobreathe performing “Brother.” I wish I was able to get it all, but I only recorded the ending part.

Knight
Another bad decision with the hope of something new.
Another fantasy diminished,
of white horses turning black
at the reality of you.
Plated armor, iron helmet
couldn’t shield me from the heaviness
I felt on your every word.
Every story a sense of pity
adding to the delusion, the manipulation
that I might mean more.
When it was all distance
created by your fear of commitment.
Guilt free and capable I walk on,
away from the sound,
the smoke, the addictions.
The unhealthiness of a man
covered in whitewashed convictions.

Poised
You think I’m poised;
The reason you chose me for this
but I think you know
I’m an organized mess.
Can I bring justice to the one in five
When I’ve spent my life
living my entitled lies?
But maybe that’s what I’ll do
To connect, to move
Empathy at its finest
All for you, you and you.

Why do you want to shut out of your life any uneasiness, any misery, any depression, since after all you don't know what work these conditions are doing inside you? Why do you want to persecute yourself with the question of where all this is coming from and where it is going? Since you know, after all, that you are in the midst of transitions and you wished for nothing so much as to change. If there is anything unhealthy in your reactions, just bear in mind that sickness is the means by which an organism frees itself from what is alien; so one must simply help it to be sick, to have its whole sickness and to break out with it, since that is the way it gets better.
Rainer Maria Rilke

Cycle
This cycle I live can it be broken?
Or will I continue with this circle?
We have our similarities,
all in the middle,
but I want more than you don’t.
And to be more than you won’t.
This cycle I live was it ever broken?
Can I crack it a little or redraw?
I have the pencil,
That you couldn’t hold,
As you gave in to culture,
And gave in to tradition,
And finally gave into a mold.
This cycle I live will it ever be broken?
Or will it repeat, repeat, repeat?
I gave in to the season
I gave in to the motions
Defeat, defeat, defeat.

I’m pretty excited that these kids didn’t fall off the face of the earth like I had sadly assumed. I’m even more excited to see them perform soon. Overall, there’s an incredible amount of excitement being felt in this moment.

Because one time my closest friends asked me to do a family photo shoot with their cat and dog. This is the cat being thrown in the air. We did it twice. I’m pretty sure he loved it.
