Ruins [Ft. True]

lyrics

Struggling, I've seen the faces of his.
When?
Where?
Do you, remember?
We've been...
Have I forgotten to leave?
There's a figure still around
Might be trapped
Nostalgia
Matter

A Personal void in a person
Makes prisons that perpetuate
The complacency
Of a presence that barged into lock down
Some say madness
I believe

Can a poison be so personal?
Blackened veins controlling fingers
Manipulating speech
A motion of sludge left behind

The man still sits, and I know
He will visit
During moments most weakest

A presence, an aura devours
All absences
What was felt?

I've never seen him run

Quietly weaving a quilt, speaking of quitting
Speaking of unquenched sanity
Ability to never leave
His wooden throne still rots, continues support
From a past that's between an inbetween

I know the chair hurts
Even splinters mourn

The pain of stale air makes brittle tears
Feel like a healthy balance
But it's not

I don't know how to help a window feel
Rejection because he gazes into a white pane

A nice contrast
To find an end
To bring an upright shell, back to life

He once talked of some logic
That seems illegible

Saving another for a gain that's whole

Felt like death itself

But, he pulled through it

Found a justification for his
Dead words

It confused his whole town
The good and the bad folk left
But he sits in his own pain
A destiny of sorts

Always anticipating
Bound, broken
Calm, claiming
Exasperated effervescence
Feeling fumed
Gritting grand
Homelessness humorless
Ideas, irritating
Jagged, jaded
King less kinship
Lathered, listless
Maybe managed?
No. Never
Once one
Perplexing, preventative
Questionable quibble
Resurfacing rants
Same situation
Tired tried
Unsorted unity
Vocal variations
Wallowing with
Xanthone, xylyls
Zoning zealot

Rambling and understanding
A man's feelings
In wordless emotions

But I know he will stay
Until he can face the splintered world around
And clear a space for cleaner air and piece back
His half with a Remainder

Evaluate
The answer sits
