collision from Collision by Cottontail

your mind awake, your eyes fully engaged
with the touch of a brush to a page
when you grab the attention of the part of you that matters
you can feel the fear and dread that shatters
there is no secret path to success that you can follow
the words of the police man and therapist ring hollow
because no one can tell you just to take some time
and we all lead a life of crime

hung up on each decision
and each idea tossed around
put your mind down this once
pick your heart up off the ground

i saw that look on your face, a moment unlike the rest
one half contented for once, the other terrified and stressed
at the notion that for once you may have gotten something right
but these stars shine over this ocean each and every night
possessed by their grip on our waking state
in our dreams we can just barely lift a portion of that weight
anyway they disappear upon the daily collision
between reality and what we can envision
