Then those sparks turned into this fire; where there's more to say, the more it feels like I'm walking backwards without one last word, so I'm turning forward now. Lies formed a doubt you heard louder than anything else, and all at once, I let it turn against me, a scar in the night.
That's the end, and when you decide: letting dead words rest alone, when everything else is alive, in between you and your life is a lie.
In still life you see single color, and it started evolving in mind,
then when all the sound was the beating of a single thought
you knew: thought turned against you, and you fell apart.
And it can't be left behind, holding up this life over tomorrow, when we live through another.
