Sierra Delta 2015

Sierra.Delta.2015

Oh dear empress,

Lost, locked up in the tower of doom.

Stockholm syndrome for the shelter,

Made it a synagogue for the gloom.

Didn't hook me,

Before I put my jacket on,

Didn't bother listening.

Kept playing, I played along,

I'll be honest, it was fun.

Climbed as far as I wanted,

Got through what had me haunted.

Well, now I know the way,

Easy for me to say,

Really, I could stay,

I can walk, or I could run,

I could fall, that would be fun.

Maybe I could be waiting here too.

Does it matter? I don't know,

I don't think so.

All I know is it's not on me.

It's not right to assume,

The ravens don't sing,

So what do I do?

Easier to go from Sierra to Romeo,

Harder to go from Delta to Juliet.

I can't really help,

Not without decimating myself.

Should have been concomitant,

But weirdly, it's been intermittent.

Ask me questions,

I may not have all the answers,

But I'll tell you what I know,

Maybe it'll help you when you're down some.

Growing up is tough,

There are days when the weather is rough,

Days when thoughts think whether it's enough,

Nights spent lying wide awake,

A million miles and hour, runs the brain,

Not sure if it's power, or fun, or pain.

Maybe it's love?

There's no love for the lame.

Hate the player, don't hate the game.

Be water, my friend,

Talk to me, baby,

Work with me to move ahead.

What's the end game here?

What this is, is true power.

Seen it all before,

Known it for ages,

Keep it safe in store.

For myself, guess I'm meant to do this on my own,

Thankfully I'm never alone.

What did I do?

Well, I gave the answer.

Right or wrong is not my call,

I've seen and done things too,

Been a player and a dancer.

I've flown, but I've had my falls.

I've known and seen it through,

I guess I'm spreading the cancer.

Terminal through this timeless thrall.

Mr. Know All,

Walked through these tenement halls.

Liar liar,

Well, not sure what that means but sure.

Surprise surprise,

It wasn't never all too pure.

Sang away by the dime,

Becoming surer each time,

Sadly it's hard for me to stay static,

So in the static I remained.

Searched for signals,

Tuned into the same frequencies,

Everyday and again and again.

Made peace with the idiosyncrasies,

Found calm in the thunder for the rain.

Don't worry about my pain,

I've been through it before.

I have the strength to restore,

Rebuild my spirit,

Live on through the ghosts.

Live on,

With whom I've lived the most.

See through my preferred sunglasses.

Meet me when the 365th day passes.

Take the time to listen, my voice is not too loud.

I won't give in unless I'm given into,

I don't mind living in the clouds,

The carousel is easy to spin to.

But I get motion sick,

Moving forward is the only way out.

Let me be haunted by ghosts,

Do not fake it.

Be the parasite to my host,

I can take it.

Stay true, know the truth,

Accept it, do not lie,

Not just to yours truly,

Stay true to thy.
