Shane the Poet | Only Anthem
A world painted in black and white, Nights long fears, shades slip away from light Distilled and brewed, Broken and bruised Silence carries letters various and unknown A face painted in hate spilled Heart lost in fate filled Twins screaming we don’t look the same As glass breaks we all feel that pain Sensible words,…
If the fumes weren’t enough, The blood vessels explode Like iron meets the pavement This inner machine was made to corrode Ignite a spark, It wants to burn But this city was built with matches And the phosphorus air was not made for breathing It pumps like the waves that took you under, An organ…
An empty space is all I need, A place alone with you I see Somebody dug up a hole And told me it will become my home Walking alone, all I can see is the stars, Looking down so brightly, Glowing where your smile used to hide They replaced it with stone, Turned around and…
Finally you have seen the vision, The world wouldn’t stop us from spinning Gravity can’t hit us here I could dive into your seas and find the entire ocean Down below the world is the void of being open We could lose it all in a flash Should you feel to leave, Just wait until…

I actually โwroteโ this in a dream and though this is not exactly how it went, it’s my best version that I can remember. What happened to your light? Because I always feel lost at night without you I wonder what it feels like to never lose sight of the world around you I don’t…
Take away your hard liquor and make it harder Take away your longest words and make them shorter, Find small pauses and fill them with subliminal messages, Find small clouds and fill them with more water.
