Lie to Me - Heiruspecs

Just once, I want to poke my negative stress in the chest,

Swing a haymaker left and not rest 'til I beat it to death

Breathe in the best breath ever once I clean up the mess

Yet whenever I step, it retreats deeper into its nest

Just once, I wish to bridge the gap between me and that dude

The man I could’ve been after I realized that I had to

The type of cat to have past loves asking, «Is that you?»

But that’s cool, you still don’t recognize when I pass, boo

I wish that I could hold feelings, 'cuz feelings hold me

Together, yet broken, closely at arm’s length from me

I sometimes wonder if these epiphanies will kill me

Creeping out of the deep, dark, corners of the real me

Lost moments of speech, snatched away by the wind

I guess it’s time to look inside and find a line again

I revive my grin as I begin to spend the 5 or 10 minutes it takes to dive

within and realign my Zen

Ask a poet where a song comes from, he’ll tell you the soul

But the detail they fail to unveil is that the tale has been told

It’s the air when it’s cold, it’s the parents that carried you home

It’s what’s scary in those areas where you won’t dare me to go

In my hand I hold the soul of a poet

Hoping to throw it over the moat of Moet, and boats full of heads with no necks

Who protest against my inappropriate openness

Standing at the edge of this precipice, staring at nothingness, just

Abyss
