Lighthouse - ill-esha

It don’t cease to amaze me

These games we play just to be lazy

Hide in these dystopian shadows

Opiate ladders ascending to crazy

Layers of consciousness peeling back like onion skins

So afraid of the very things that characterize the lies within

I summarize all these plot developments like writing score

Entwining elements like rope knots pulling shipwrecks into shore

And I know that buried treasure lies deep at the bottom

When you let go like trees lose their leaves in the autumn

People linking issues, grab them tissues, Venn diagrams

Overlapping insecurities, backed up like traffic jams

Taking it in. Slamming it down.

Just like a shot that burns

And it’s hard to choke down these bitter pills when it’s not your turn.

But no matter how much it rains down, can’t cloud me

Keep stepping love to all of you so loudly

I see a spark of hope, a lighthouse in the mist

And I’m feeling so light

And I know what really matters now

This life, this heart, these beautiful sounds
