Lessons For The Broken Compass - An Alchemical Journey

I Broke Once & Couldn't Help But Stay Open Mouthed To This Universe

You feel that energy? Are you awake? Do you have any prior engagements? Should we get going or are we young right now? Shouldn't we talk before experience hardens what we think we know? Wouldn't it be a shame to find we are both wrong and everything we argued took an unnecessary toll? Bless this, Bless this - Can eternity teach us to let go? You ever observed the way two people can grab hold of a shared vision, and ride that trail all the way down to its blaze of glory?

Won't you see me? Stay in faith,
Don't I give the reason;
Feel this love and hate create the seasons,
To think that we're blooming,
Something beautiful, spring should be soothing
doomed to glory, song of Achilles
Devour the world and call it leaving
Part the sea and call it bleeding,
Imagery too strong, put you on the ceiling
I'll be burning at the stake,
Baby won't you put out my flames

It's painful when I get into this state; Oh are you worried about me? Do you want to make some mistakes? I am not always opposed to doing the things you like, but every now and again I want to get on your nerves. Yes, I want to stand between all those synapses, spread my wing span and grab hold of them like I was the fucking conductor - I want you shocked - I want you hurling lightning bolts at me like you, goddess, were the usurper of Zeus himself. I want you to jolt me. Light me up in that labyrinth so all your lost thoughts might find their way to your tongue; And like a lightning rod send them straight down into my soul.

Oh girl I'm so loaded
Oh girl I'm so stoked and
I could really use a hand,
Sistine chapel, reach for man,
I've seen souls worse off than you,
As for me I have no clue.
Committed crimes I should of knew,
burned down bridges
Along side of you.
What's the point,
Shouldn't have shown you the vantage.
Now in the end you're claiming I did all the damage

There's a lot of things I don't let you see. I'm not protecting you, I just think that some things you're to find on your own, and it'd waste both of our times and energy; Maybe even stir a few things best laid to rest. I won't stop you, but I won't assist poor etiquette. Everyone wants more from you, why can't we just be people, why does this have to go anywhere outside of where it is? Why can't we just kiss to see where we land? Why can't we just hold hands? I just want - No, that's my concern now. I want, when I should be fine with nothing - Let's just sleep before I lead us, with your permission, down the wrong path - Always ask before you reach for more.

I bet you feel that,
I'm about taking it over the edge,
From flat-lined,
Hear that gasp
It's your second first heartbeat
I'd be slightly disappointed
If I saw you in the morning
Since you think you know me,
Got me all figured out like your life;
You think I am a monster - I'll bite your neck.
The things you're seeing are not all the pieces!
I welcome you to this party
But I see you still avoid me.
You romanticize all that other crap,
They put it to music and you lose your pants
That shit gets real and you close off
It's wild how earlier I was drinking, drunk in love.
Now I'm driving, down on you is a dead end,
How intricate are your bed sheets?
I bet these are the expensive panties
I'm eating good now: It's a lifestyle
It's all too short to not be the better man
Really you're so petty it amazes me.
Rather build a bridge to the middle of the ocean.
Here's a hundred I'm not sticking around for breakfast.

I'd say it's time to bloom, but I've still got more coming for you
