Empty My Mind

"Timeless"
Emotions play out on your face. Maybe by watching someone you can see their whole life, all in a few observations. It could take you a year, three years, ten, five minutes, four days. Sometimes time is irrelevant. You can lose track of time, letting life unravel before your eyes; the day and night are melded together. You forget about who you are sometimes, and you become a part of the universe. No longer are you a unique entity, but now you are a part of the universal balance, where good and evil unite.

Find the truth in their lies, the only drops of wisdom that stay.

"Fallen Angel"

"Cure for the Itch"
It's an itching, burning feeling at the very back of your mind. It scratches away at your sanity until not even double fudge chocolate ice cream can satiate it. Only when you pick up your favorite pen or pencil and find a surface to give your thoughts a tangible shape, the shape of the words you scribble too quickly to remember the cramped feeling of your hand.
