Hey! Simmer Down!

[timeless]

He caught Life in his palms but still had to set her down.
Didn't like the weight even if it measured an ounce.
Treasure bound, to Silas this sounds the best.
As a kid he acted a pirate, painted the town in red.
Stressed he now sees prison up around the bend.
Found a net to douse with gas where the clowns had slept,
It would later catch fire and Silas soon found his depth.
Rock bottom is a round of chess, feels like a thousand deaths.

And so I said...
In the time it takes for stress to double your age,
You could reinvent yourself with less trouble or pain.
Your tower has fell, mind stuck in the rubble encaved.
Can't get above the clouds if you're still under the rain.
Feeling insane? Yeah, well God wonders the same.
Can't hit the ground running if you're stuck on a plane.
Even your luggage has stayed a ways off of the map.
Often it means you're left with just the clothes on your back.
Shaded lies open as facts. Mimic the face that cries,
With enough tears that we'll never see a river basin dry.

And so he did...
He let it all out in tongues like his had been scissored,
In between the pouts and moans, this kid had just figured
Out the meaning of Life. Now his bliss has been triggered.
But its too late, no escape from the path he had built.
Even if he didn't mean it, its known that accidents kill.
He was a lost package, I was to start tracking his guilt.
Led me to some different cities, countries and cultures.
Silas spent Life hiding from the sun and he grew older.
Death and pain drained the sane from his brain in a day.
Ways to brave the shade of death arranged him to stay.
The moment he steered his parents car off of the bridge,
Will be with him up until the day his own coffin will sink.

The first verse was a hard read, it felt awkward
moving forward..the second verse is raw, G!
at that point I felt that you did work proper..
the flow became more fluent, and less tongue & cheek
you seemed to catch onto that 'timeless' feel
which made it more readable, I enjoyed your company
