Wide Open Arms

The translucent fog of the weather glass
Shines brightly
The night reflects off your eyes
It makes me want to shed my tears.
I want to seize the sky,
Through your eyes.
The liability all on me.
So come with me, Exult the moment - rejoice.
I have vanquished the demons that sought me,
The antagonistic hollers from below
Now just echoes in the moonlight.
This shadow of a shade covers our homes.
We are all apart of this animated life.
And when the moon shuns the sun
We start to see what our world really looks like.
Every night our heart sinks with the sun
Escaping reality for just a night
Repulsive structures of the 21st century
Make us forget our sorrows, and pains.
Making circumnavigation, yet returning with a heavy heart
The redundancy plays on my lips
Like the dejavu of a lifetime.
The discontented nature makes me fumble at the sight of grace
And I hold my head strong.
For in the blinding moments,
I grow with great age, and move others with discontent.
So unleash my chain,
And let me live this life I am in.
I am a man, with arms open
Screaming at the top of his lungs.
Thankful for everyday I have.
