Break Me Down

I see
Everything
I hear everything
Thoughts and sound and
Noise
Dust is gone and permeating
Colors insinuate what I cannot
Reflecting
Light is its own
Flavors retreating
Back in to the silence
Ghostly images
Surrounding your so-called reality
Why feel with fingers?
Nerves are everywhere
Why feel with nerves?
The mind is inviting
See yourself without a mirror
Void and silent
You're the only thing that's moving
Still
Black and white and primaries
Nothing overcomes it's meaning
Pupils twitch at things unseen
Imagined
Movie screens
Distorted
The words you say translate into
"I love you... kind of..."
The things I feel you do to me at night
In spite of her and sunlight
You need to bend
I need to see you inside
I see your face
I wonder what hides behind the glass
Time stipulates her own way
She sees the here and now and always
Frightened seeing through
Now it's relative
Object to things said years ago
Forget what made things relevant
Subject to principalities unheard
Unbroken
Whip around to see the ground
The red in me is almost over
To bend and break at this point
Would be pointless
I see
Everything
I hear everything
Dust and noise and
Sound
Thoughts leave me permeated
Rape my pores internally
Grip the threads that hold us steady
Tear the veins that beat me wholly
Leaving one thing to be decided
Restless in a golden age
Seemingly voluptuous
But charmingly cantankerous
This noise is all it seems to be
Mocking what this used to be
I see your eyes
So far away
Actions screaming
"I could care less."
Counting cards and stacking books
Yellow pages bandaged in my made-up languages
"Love" was never meant to be
Words with such propensity to kill
Stare at me
Don't see a thing
It's always, always rubbing off
The masks are faded
Rubbing off
Disguises made of nothing I can see
Everything
I hear everything
Sound and dust and
Noise permeating
Disconcerting pictures on the brain
Sleep never seems to help a thing
Insanity touches borders of my senses
Teasing symptoms yet uncovered
Drowning in a pool of your unrest
Conceptually the worst of these is this
Inside out you see that I'm a wreck
Of colors in the world to be unchecked
Blue and green and white and pink
Red and brown and you and me
Everything
I see
Noise and thoughts
I hear
Dusty pictures abandoned for another way of life
Pores dig deeper the farther down you go
Can you see
Everything
Dismiss
Everything
Catch it all off guard
Who would have known
It's all in me
And now it's yours to show
Do you like or are you scared of things to come
The end again and nothing's here at all
