The Only Battles Worth Winning

Divulge,
you are the right calendar year,
the right eyes in wires,
you sleep in a place, so far away;
with out me there, but from here I will look -

In the last leg of my conscience, I make my own fate,
I chose to live under the trees that you fall from,
so I can watch you stay here;
You can keep the world away,
and I will always defend you;

my battleground,
my way out from this city,
long torn from this state to find,
our state of mind that was once lost;

this is the story and you are my chapter;
knowledge provided need to know -
we sit in glancing battles without lies or need;
its these lips at war for the heart you know of,

for so long, I waited,
I hope to never lose again.

Made For This

No sleep can hold me back;
No fears can slow me down,

I chose to dream;
I refuse to die,

I won't live this down,
I won't live this time around,

A quick action, marks these roads;
We are taking over these worlds,

You will say "you'll never look back or miss it at all"
And with vacancy, you lies paint these walls

Make me for you,
Reuse me this time again;

She abandoned me,
Seal this heart is my only plea.

Like A Feather, Like A Glacier

I'm always falling, at first brush
I sit in a quiet room and wait adequately -

float away from me, white and light;
you can escape this burrow you once embedded yourself in;
in a grasping moment, we refine who we define,
we've been slipping into ice, so cold, so hot, so long;

your eyes lose me in their quaint qualities;
I don't want to break your heart,
I want to hide within it and allow you to find me lost in you,
only in these dreams can we fix the broken;

I'm a changing glacier, with you diving from me,
as you kept me warm, I'm falling apart;
as you left me cold, I'm floating away,

I'm always sinking, at last touch,
I sit in these quiet waters, awaiting your return

Honestly

Nothing like you;
Avoid these whites, the lies you say,
Roll across your face.

If you think I am no one,
If you don't care about who I am -
Then walk away

Willingly I want to corrupt your broken life, give you meaning to live

Save you from the stars,
Get you closer to the seas,
You'll know it's honestly, because of me

So hold your heart, with a grip on reality
And know he's not worth it;
Honestly, you're better with me

A Mandatory Faith

In this land, we've been given the rights to believe in the same things; and outcasted if beliefs aren't such -
Just like love
Or the road home,
Someone wants you to be wrong;
The passion driven from their eyes, impale us;
How strong can we be?
Out there, someone like me needs a mess like you;
A mandate steals us tonight,
Forced lines; our veins we swallow,
This due in great vision
Call it off, call me out;
The fake fusion clears our drive tonight

A Stringent Count of Three

Loosely
I'll base jump with you around my neck
lets see how far down you let me go before you stop me in my tracks
the subway drove us up to the sedan,
we rode through these streets on benches and rails,
you lied about everything,
so you get the rope;
a bottle of poison and the electric chair;
you think I like playing this way?
how do you think I felt?

Loosely,
I gave you up for the moments glory in knowing I did it right

I'm not who I though I was,
You're not who I can be;
There's no heart in this chest,
The lock has been sealed; we've concealed time behind our backs;

And on a stringent count of three, I will call you and hang up before you get a chance to say hello,

I will go next door and miss my daughter,
Oh I will miss it all.
Count falling tears,
I'm falling apart
And I don't want you to realize I'm not worthy of saving

And Mending All Ties

I thought I was ready
Not for something,
I'm still recovering my identity

You hold the stream steady,
Not for me;
My timing was impeccable,

We both know I was holding on for dear life;
It was just time to let go

And mending all ties,
You'll see come the day
Why I packed up and left you behind;

It's all just to help push you forward,
My only effort to do best
So goodbye for now;

Airplanes land eventually
These trees eat us alive, so we burn through them to forget our lies
I'm fake, a store bought mannequin, dressed up to be a man

I am no man -
I am a selfish fool
Forget me

Left To Make Things Right

(original written in 2006)
- the multiple interpretations of the title on its own gives me reason to write this.

For my love;
Oh how loved they were,
And so swiftly they were brushed away

You quickly left; with nothing but a cup
These past affairs and broken homes,
No one lives here, as we buried souls under our constructions;

You came and left; behind with a trail of lust;
In the middle of love, I read I brush through dust

Find your way through these glass laden streets; question words so well lacking definition.

Rebuild. Retry. Relive.
In the border of conciseness, we find placement to appear correct
We appear; correct.

Welcome to the West

Oh I've been dragged out here,
Two holsters with your demise awaiting,
Oh how glorious it could've been, had you opened draw,
Welcome to the west, where the sand is hot and awaits this bloodshed,
A fever to believe, with blood rushing our head,
A few and far between,
Honestly, I'm throwing in the towel, filled with the sweat from our passing tremors
Run, down walk,
We are starving for attention now
We shoot for greatness
Knowing we have nothing of substance to hold onto;
Welcome to the west, home of the heartless and bullet cases,
Get used to the sounds of banging around here;
We are loosing count like a post office clerk,
Oh why I dragged you out here, to save you from the crossfire;
You are in everyones cross sights
