meaning (vent piece)

you spell out these words every night to a world that will die on them

die on your actions. die on the idea of what you provide

you say you provide a space to all

for those to feel found and loved

but what does it say

to those who see and hear the words you preach

and dont feel the meaning behind your words

you look them in the eye the same way you look at others

but your words fall flat to their ears

because they know what you truly mean 

when forced to put those words into action

you only play to the crowd that chants for you

and not for the crowd that sees through you

you know they see through the facade

that your words dont meet the actions you take

you think you are hidden

you think are perfect

but its on display every single day

your words haven't meet the actions since october

how much longer do you wanna keep the facade up

till the world falls apart

or till you fall apart

the truth will find its way some day

and those who listen along will finally realize 

what you truly meant when you said those things

face the music now

or the world will force you to

night sky

and just look up at the night sky above me

become lost in the stars that dot the endless dark sea

the stars remind me of the past

a past filled with memories i can never get back

a past filled with empty promises and broken hearts

a past filled with the ideal nostalgia of a life i wished i live

a past that died years ago, but can still be seen

the stars remind of the present

how some stars bright only dimly against that dark sea

while next to the stars that shine so bright they could light up the world

they coexist in that same world, supporting each other in a sky

working together as one as to make something beautiful 

the stars remind me of the future

a future unknown

a future waiting to be created, waiting to find us at the right time

a future that can be bright

a future that can be dark

a future not explored alone

the stars remind me im not alone

we all find points in our lives we get lost in dark seas

trying to shine brightly again

but we aren't alone

we find our stars in our lives

we travel across the dark sea

sometimes in dim light, and sometimes as bright as the moon

finding love, hope, and serenity amongst it all

i hope one day we get to dance below these stars

show them how we grow from our past

show them how we have embraced our present

show them how we want to live for a future

a future where we get to be together as one
