According to Them

there is so much left to say
let me pick up
right where I left off-

I spoke to him, and all he had to say was
if it wasn't supposed to happen, then it never would
have happened

when he told me, the world is going to change day by day
you will wake up feeling so much different
now it's time to go

so now...
the whole picture has painted itself
within these days, forget what we say
all that matters is everything we may (become)

there is no place for me
there is nowhere left to go when you leave me
according to them, I never can become this
as time folds itself I withdraw my balance

I am running on this

While You Were Out

this car kept breaking down
with a lack of your presence
I didn't know what to do

I could have used your love for some of these harsh moments
because the pillar in time
needed a pillow to find
the sand box fills up from our love

our hearts have been waiting again
I wish I was with you to make sure
that you weren't crashing too

A Pillar in Time

car doors, slamming a hundred times over;
none of them are yours

this pillow under my head, holds me in waves;
in the vacancy you need your bed

you now should find, through the days;
I never take you out of my mind

who do you become, when forever ends?

Rhetorical

all of your things you keep on me about
new rhetorical questions; words you say
what do we speak of when we speak of the ones we think of?

you hold my head in the water, hoping I can see where you are standing
and as my eyes are shut; there is no point in seeing it
as I open my eyes, it always seems to end the same

just because you ran away
just because you ran before I knew
you said I was just a little boy

in the hell where I grew up
I was told that love is patient and understanding
what do you speak of when you speak of the one you love?

I fall every time you bait the snare
dealing these words,
I know you don't care

when you create distance,
you refine all the circles that create this line
and you keep spreading yourself further away from me

like you always hoped,
I'm becoming faker by the drop of your feet
especially when you leave me when I am hoping to be where you are

if only you knew what I feel like waiting to see you
you would see eye to eye with me
if you said be there at ten, I'd be there at the drop of a dime

but my two cents never save you
