rise above

are you just a flickering ?

quickly enter, quickly exit scene?
burn me when i try to hold ..
fire, then ice.
you’re hot, you’re cold.
thinking i’m just paper thin,
disintegrate the state i’m in ..
rapidly turned into ash.
go too fast and watch me crash.
i know, there is a lot to bear.
i was hoping you would meet me there.
now i wonder where you’re going
why you have your weapons showing
hoping hope would be enough
hoping we could rise above
i was gazing at your stars,
filling the sky with light..
then suddenly it all went dark
and could not reignite.
thinking maybe that i’m blind.
made damn sure i’m left behind,
rapidly, turned into dust.
go too fast, watch me get crushed.
i know things can be overwhelm.
i was hoping you’d still take the helm.
now i wonder where you’re going
why you have your weapons showing
hoping hope would be enough
hoping we could rise above
am i the only one who’s lost?
trying to find at any cost?
wish i knew the secret to it ..
holding hands
and getting through it.
thinking this must be a joke.
bust, begin again at broke..
rapidly gone in a puff of smoke.
go too fast and watch me choke.
i know that it’s hard to digest.
i was hoping you would come correct.
now i wonder where you’re going
why you have your weapons showing
hoping hope would be enough
hoping we could rise above
