Giant Ants

Certain I was right
Clinging to and unfinished puzzle
Screaming "It's Complete!"
Ignoring all the missing pieces
He closed the windows and the doors
The roof blew off
I saw the open sky
And I don't wonder why
Always striving to please
The queen and all her bees
Perpetually out of reach
Captured is the beauty
Held in their hands
Crumbled to pieces at first glance
My feet came off the ground
And I looked back
I saw the giant ants
And now I understand
And I smile at them

Snakebite

Slowly moving downward spiral
The black is seeping in
Eyes are shifting
Truth is hiding
I'm the eye of the storm
Everything is fine
Then my eyes are bleeding white
We antagonize
Until he finally bites
Until he finally bites
Something calls me
Can't ignore it
The fly is circling
She tried running
She is losing
She's the eye of the storm
Everything is fine
Then my eyes are bleeding white
We antagonize
Until he finally bites
Until he finally bites
Shakes me to the core
But I can't shake this storm
Every single time
Everything seems
Fine

Missing Parts

What words can change
When you're missing parts
When the ground shakes
And you're running in place
Without a name
It'll melt away
For heaven's sake
Don't you know your lines
Yellow laces growing from the ground
Meet the eyelets floating down the walls
Stomping faces staring back at me
I was falling for 100 years
Tattered clothes with rips and tears
And the spotlight shines brightly on your future years
There are missing instructions so you'll never know
It's opposite day so you'll never know
Turns to grey
In the swirling lines
And mirrored shapes
Fall flat in time
Shattered trees shedding in the cold
Resting silently on the dirty sheets
Open eyes reaching violently
In anticipation as the parts collide
Strings tied tightly to your hands and feet
Buried in knots but you're still asleep
Trapped on the vine but it never falls
The ground here is quiet but it never falls
