"Microscope" by Vi Bennu

Wide eyed
Focus the lense to the level were in

White lies
Take a step back so the macro set reality in

Fine lines
Devils at the cross roads, 
Whispers to your soul so it might go
Over to the

Dark side,
Double edge to every sword,
Shadow facing flip the coin for your reward

Wriggle under the gaze of a microscope
How we change under observation 
The same and yet different face of 
Perspective is made of

Wriggling under the gaze of a microscope
How we change under observation 
The same and yet different face of 
Perspective is made of

Wide eyed,
Viewing the web and how everything blends,

White lines,
Bleed and unfold, to contain the whole

Bright white,
Nestled in the space between
Void and yet its brimming with this energy,
Locked up in

Fine lies,
Acknowledge it, and build repor,
Its only in the light we can move forward

Microscope

"White Knuckles" by Vi Bennu

White knuckle grip on questions that haunt my skin
I still remember where I was
Clung to shadows, chasing the wall, blind to injuries done to myself
Deny the space between color the box around
Hide me in corners you wont find
Keep your distance if you want to hurt me need only to suggest you just might:

Love me & Leave me
Love me & Leave me

Cycle complete
Rinse and repeat
Pick up the pieces

Love me & leave
Its this belief
Self fulfilling 

Circle goes round
Cling to the ground
Foundations hollow

Follow the story
Real life is boring
Theres pay off to suffering you know

White knuckles violently tame, just some expectations to abide by
Dissapointment lurks in the open and its my choice to identify
Set myself up it’s written in the game just to strengthen my role as the victim

Grip the reigns till the fraying breaks and the mirror come tumbling down

Kiss the shame its the cycle needs breaking this is the last time
Call its name in the dark keep from fading into this lie,
Tint my vision these fears I wont give in a circle turns to line
Drink the dredges theres comfort in fences but life does not take kind to hard lines


Love me & Leave me
Love me & Leave me

Cycle complete
Rinse and repeat 
Pick up the pieces

Love & leave
Its this belief 
Self fulfilling

Circle goes round
Cling to the ground
Foundations hollow

Follow the story
Real life is boring
Theres pay off to suffering you know

Love me & Leave me
Love me & Leave me
