Her Heart, Another Chance

Will we remain tonight?
Under the blistering cold,
We hesitate to believe we can be
When the wires are all that remain,
We will be so far gone

Who will tell us no now?
How do we ignore the signs?
All the mortar we bought goes to waste as we decide these bricks are useless;
We don't coincide.

Nothing left to estimate, these streets are never going to feel again.
And the sidewalks we paved will remain empty

We stay closed,
We stay close,
Because we know we can't carry on
Because you can't carry me;

The world and her weight on your mind;
All signs point you in a different direction,
It's her heart on the line, and another chance to break it

So when we decide you will be elated
To know the left side of your heart is under new management.

Living at Moat Cliff

We partition for a pardon from this practice,
And for as long as we live, we will never leave;

Our bones are breaking!
I swear I'm falling apart from the neck down -
Oh how sinful of me to have placed this tether around my neck,
And for I jumped I lost my courage to be alive,

What a curious thing these days bring us;
And we thought we could fly?
How insane could we actually be?
Oh through these eyes, I wish I could see -
But I'm departing with my conscience,

I see now why we feed off these waters -
How glorious it was to taste the words I emitted, without knowing what they said

I was never better off on my own,
I was never better off without you
(to keep me away from the cliff)

Hey Man, She Was Just A Flash in the Pan

Girls like you slither,
Go for the kill (you're in for the thrill)
But you keep your back from the world,
So you know we see it too!

Hey man, she was just a flash in the pan,
But dude - she was a flush in the bed;
Like a contagious song, she never leaves your head,

I'm here awaiting you to get your grip,
Because you are the one playing mind games,
When I'm done with you,
I'll leave behind a taste in your mouth you won't soon forget,

You look like you are praying,
Do you really bow down to a faceless man?
Maybe you should open your eyes and realize what's staring you in the face,
The biggest man in this town that would take you where ever you need I go,

So hop in for a spin around the world,
Girls like you can slither by,
I won't even ask why.

Damage

Fall for it,
Gravity lacks all use;

You have grown distant in the last words I say,
Do you believe me?

The damage is what I care about,
The tire tracks from here to your home town,
Well I was pulling you down;

Can't you see the words you have laid before your eyes? There is no solidarity here, there are no words to express again who I want you to see;

Mistakes made,
Lessons learned, will count for nothing when easily ending the beginning,
The damage was needed for us to see the future with cleared throats

Your Pretty Little Enemy Tomorrow

Things fell apart rather fast,
And I fear my days are numbered by then tens,
So if I die tomorrow then then last thing I would want you to know;

I never stopped loving you, just because I moved on,
Just because we barely got off the ground doesn't mean I never started loving you;
It's archival
If you were here now, I'd hold you until you became numb;
You have become confused as I,
Your lover today; your dreamer yesterday;
I'm afraid to see tomorrow because I hate myself for letting this happen

My secret was I love you enough to let you go
And now I will never hear from you again, or so I fear

Broken Boy and His Note Left Behind

Constant reminders;
I miss you, I miss you
You felt right here,
You fell right there;

I say this one last time;
I miss you, I miss you
You were right there,
Now I need to go back in time;

There is nothing left of me if not for this,
All I wanted is your lips,
So play pretend and recall who I am,
And you will know just where I am;
In a day so distant where things have yet to be like this;

You are who I feel,
When I feel motionless
A reverberated attack on the exit;
If you stop now,

You'll leave me just like you found;
Broken.

In, Out - Extraordinary At Saying the Right Things

Fake your lines, who do you think you can be?
Walk away when you knew who I was, you found yourself lost in confusion.

Well I guess I will never change,
I am nothing less than a human wanting to be something more than this

Where will I be tomorrow?
Will you try to return to my side?
Well I have no time for all this shit,
So walk away from me because I can't stand to see your face anymore

This is me, like it or not
I am never going to change

I think I am extraordinary at finding ways to change these past years and carry on

So carry me, carry me, carry me somewhere I have never been before

Lead Me Home

Maybe if you understood how hard I try to show you how much you could be,
Then maybe your shakes would fade away,
Maybe you'd say everything is ok;
But I can't stand to live in the past anymore, choose me now or be gone;
I need a new heart, this one has been destroyed one too many times;

Just lead me home now;
I need to sleep so I can keep up our love,
Because in my dreams you didn't give up so quick, you didn't think I was worthless;

Just lead me home now,
Because I need you now,
Because I need your warmth now;
My body is falling apart from the neck up,
I'm melting, you were the cold helping me survive these hard times,

Just lead me home,
I need to open the doors to you again,
So give me the time of day to show you who I am;

But you're leaving like everyone else.
Nice guys don't finish last, we die before we can even start
My heart can take a beating, somehow I've survived

When Waves Collide

Silent.
Tonight, I'm better.
I've done my praying for you,
Don't think for a second, I'm over you.
I just want you to know,
I understand what you are feeling.
My answers might be wrong,
But my heart is in the right place.
If you hurt tonight because of me,
Then I know we have a reason;
I'm honest and I give it my all;
There is a place for you here.
I'm strong because I know that I want it so bad,
I remain silent as you ask.
In my deepest of depths,
I will show you
That I've emerged.
Stronger.
You can depend on me to always be right there by your side,
Even if it is when you've had enough.

Grow Up

I want to be so much more;
It's so cold in here, while you are gone,

it doesn't perspire here within, but I exhume all of these words I had planned;

I break down when I see your face, knowing I couldn't keep you smiling,
These words are a contract in which I swear to you, we have something here,
some men will try to steal from me,
you and your golden heart,

I'm falling down this hole,
I needed to know that this was not you,
a demon, destroying who I use to be;
I carry determined torches, in hopes to burn myself alive,

I'd go the distance, you can't ever know,
just how much you mean to me,
you throw me away,

When all I want is to hold on

Familiar

It was eleven twenty eight,
More relevant than you'd ever know;

The Lord once told me
"boy you are only the man others make you out to be"

Abandoned; again,
If I'm supposed to love anyone then let me confide in you to know;
I'm giving up on myself now,

I see your face every time I open my eyes,

This pain is too familiar,

All I ask is you try
I can't hold my head above water for much longer;
I'm aware, you are annoyed;
I'm aware, you are confused;
I'm aware that you were the person who pulled me back up;

Are you aware that I have plenty to offer?
I'd give you every ocean so long as it would put me next to you again;

I'm falling apart again.
It's familiar.
Unfortunately.

Obligated

I'm just a burden to bury,
They say I'm not myself and it's all you to blame,
"I'm ever changing";
Declare your value I'm no child and I won't retain your scars,
I'm proactively adjusting my mindset to prove something to myself;
Keep blaming me for your anger, I'm the one to take the heat;
Even if it stops my heart in its tracks
I will keep changing these words until they turn you around;
On your back with your feet up so high did you think I was gonna be like everyone else and just fuck you over?
I just want to build you a huge castle and help you live a real life;
I'm realistic in my questioning why you feel so obligated to tear me down;
I'm bulletproof from all the times I've been killed, I'm an expert at death because living is the one thing I'm afraid to do;
So who am I to tell you that I've been falling for you?
Silence speaks louder than words, with phrases these ears are allergic to and never heard
So I'm obligated to you, devoted to the ground you walk on,
And I'd go any distance just to show you I'm ready to go places with you

Deep Within Absence

Loneliness is gripping me now,
It grabs me by the ways it finds me,
There's something about how long you have been absent that tears me apart;

I can't seem to find you in my arms,
When I was afraid to breathe all I thought of was how I needed you like a child needs their mother;
Or how a father needs his child,

I've been shaken time and time again,
But I refuse to break down,

You hands hold me by the heart;
I've become absent to my failures

Your Pretty Little Dreamer Today

Oh eyes so golden blue,
Looks to me with razors holding down the people in our town
You were a flavor we all hope to forget,
So vile and beautiful;
We don't know what picked us up;
Are broken hearts mended over time or are they replaced?
Her lips tell me what I want to hear,
And her body language is telling me it's time to jump off this building;
She says "just spend your arms love, and love will take you away"
I would dedicate my body as a memorial to the ground a thousand feet below me just to see if you'll be there to catch me,
How did I end up in your arms?
If you keep your word then we are going down together,
Make no mistake; your pretty little dreamer today has all the choices to make with only two rounds left;
So who will it be?
I'm sick of all the lies I've been told,
We jumped into this feet first, (it was only wet cement)
Are we leaving our marks or will we stick to the base we founded this city on?

Fireman

I should've looked through this burning rubble before,
Because now I see everything is gone and I'm rebuilding this tower I was enslaved in;
Like clockwork I'm drawing up schematics of who I want to be,

As fast as these words emerge,
You and I run our feet out of this fever dream,
This city has its back to us;
Oh so damn spineless as I'm falling for you (on you)

This is closed circuit so I can monitor the changes elapsing inside;
With tears of joy, how much more I try to change this life that I've fucked up,

You'll be me in a year down the road, lost in the fires that started burning ten years ago

I can take the heat,
I just want to get hot with it

One Hundred Recluses

Take these lines and consume them
Find it within yourself to become greater than everything that is ripping you vein to vain,
And step outside your ego to see the limbs you've been left with,
If you keep speaking, I will take those words and fold them on to your eyes;

Actions speak louder than words you wrote,
As I ripped it from those lying hands you called me beautiful at denying my rights

Contort yourself to fit in this box that hides us all;

Tonight it's over, I'm dead and gone,
I'm dead and gone,
I'm gone,
I've gone searching for you;
You're never here when I need you most
