I had this image of a hill named Golgotha
| Edvard Munch-Golgotha |
We lie, yes we lie;
to our own dead ends
I see you like a
catcher in the rye
But catching you meant dying
in a free fall motion
I catch you avoiding
my eyes
my gaze
and I know you wanna hear me
and you know I wanna know the truth
You keep the silence as an answer;
if ignoring me kept the peace
then you are in for a ride
cause the story’s about to be told
right now
even as I say it
it’s about to begin
Holding unto the rails
of your own world
derailed;
replacing my image in your mind
with a counterfeit
but you can’t deny
the allegation within you
No amount of distraction
and attention
you seek
from another companion
can ever replace the satisfaction
of being with me
Only if you listen;
what is that you seek?
Is it clarity or confusion
or the space between?
pleasure can keep you from your calling
when the pain’s too deep
you’re gonna see me
There’s a hill on which you need to die
a hill where you need to die
where you can’t let out a melody
while sitting on a chair
staring blankly
with all those memories
replaying all in your head
See me in the space between
when you’re lying
when you’re hiding from your true self
and the past becomes a supercut
but I am not your past
A story’s about to be told;
a different kind of mold
unlike from what was before
so maybe hold on
cause you’re in for a ride
secretly
you wanna rest that weary head
on my shoulders
but you kept swimming under the guise
of your own lies
secretly
you wanna see me
but your head is full of skulls
give me a melody if you can
I guess you can’t
this loveliness that sparks within you
snuffed out
when you tried to run from that hill of hope
now sometimes death waits
as a friend
and it turns around
it begets me;
you know this silent war will end
only if you try
