Tell-Tale Signs


My mind's spinning in a day dream,

Of a three ring circus far far away,

Walking the tight rope 3 feet above the clouds,

This is where I belong, so this is where I'll stay,


If I could only reach normality,

But I have 42 reasons to never return,


My body's falling into temptation,

Contemplating leaving it all behind,

Never seen over the hill past the valley,

Excited to feel what these new times hold to find,


If I would only face probability,

But it's possibly the reason I'm spurned,


Mighty men trample the dust on grasshopper hearts,

Inactive and stagnant as I am, I feel I've played my part,

Finding the sunrise in my mindset,

Crescent moons surround our clauses,

Running down the neck I won't fret,

Wholely noted, a 16th for dramatic pauses,


The floorboards of a second floor studio hide the hidden parts of me,

And it's even more evident to see when you reach into this empty cavity,


Dissemble no more,

You'll get what you came for,

Tear up the planks of this writhing floor,

Stop the beating of this hideous art,
