Brandon Nothing

Over and over we see it grow
It begins to fade but it grows
Why must it be so big?
It couldn’t have just faded away
...

My paradigm thrives in fire
Scanning for obstacles and nothing less
Bombastic senses, I care for you not
I am destroyed from the inside out
...

Beneath my feet is the crashing
Sounds and clashing of bullets
They wet my feet and the feeling
Is rather uncomfortable
...

Black operations and underground tracks
Lead me to the depths of mountains
Where underneath I will search
For the rubies and diamonds that surly will be mine
...

Very frustrating, to forgive you
Down are the bridges, but broken
They can’t be fixed or move on out
I once built a man out of snow
...

Leaning towards unthinkable emotions
Try posting this on a graph
For you there is some solitude
But there seems to be no peace
...

With cunning ingenuity surpass them
Leave it blank on the sheet
Born into apartheid
With the glory of grey impounded in your skin
...

Things try to stay in line
All else fails to cure this pine
And these are the words that tear me apart
So I can’t wake up another day
...

I look up at the glowing box before me
Shedding my independence with glee
I look to you and I say I want to be like that
You want to be like me
...

Oh God, you know all too well I love you
I need to find the time; I need to refine my pride
Our feet are shaking, our tongues are tied
With you, I am open, I have nothing to hide
...

I have nothing left to say to you
I don’t give a! @! # what happens to you
I will exercise, my skills
I will bring to you, lobotomize
...

I am lacking but hoping for you to understand
I am losing the touch, to what I really am
Just hold onto my oh so boring story
Some day it may be worth more than you or me
...

What a wonderful day to reconcile
The maddening handicaps leaving me hanging all awhile
Here again, I have returned once more to a state of nostalgic
The barriers before, only render me a trick
...

Dear friend, how is it going?
Splinters, pieces of a story for you to understand
It would seem to me that we are growing apart
I can’t stop lying, but you seem to know
...

I didn’t want to be there to watch you die
So now I’ll never get a chance to say good-bye
Later tomorrow standing right here
For you’ll I’ll shed one colder tear
...

Today is the day you have won
Tonight I will let
My sadness take me.
On my grave I want it to read
...

Through the barriers- dusk
Teach me the way, I yearn for no more
I am the dusk unflattered by the moon
Tome after tome my God gives me fury
...

Have you ever felt like you
were part of something, something insane
I can tell you that is me, all the time
Between high groves and sea shells
...

No longer thriving
This fire ceases to exist
Shall I take care of what remains?
Devoured answers all turn up again
...

Pitiful they do seem to be
Hospitality is drained from my veins
A vision which blurs before me
An image before me dialates
...
