This Horrible Weather Will Heat Her Up

So close you can barely breathe,
With eyes so blind you can barely see,
We've scratched the surface
Revealed all but one,
This collision of ends have just begun,
So show me the grand tour, and take me girl through this man's funeral,
I have signed a new lease, with my heart on a new beat,
Sang through an empty street
I watched eyes sing sorry in rhythms with no beat

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am for you, like two wet hands together from dried glue,
Move on and on until we see, these hands bled out impatiently for me,
When I dive I fly girl, like a fish with wings I can be all world,
Give you a full tilt and move through your soul like a sword with a new hilt,
Your heart is free of guilt, sand paper destroyed emotions through swift and abrasive motions,
Heat her up girl and save me the drag, I hold forward direct film of past tense days with fire ablaze, I stare stick and amazed, its been just a number of days and I could sleep again

The Girl Over There

it's not what you have, it's what you had before
it's a style you are trying to perfect, by lighting up
burn out your lungs girl, because you won't ever be happy,
you allow this to ignite and burn down this city,
we all stare at you with ridiculous smiles that never fade away

you're fake and useless, can't allow room for anything
like a rocket with out a crew,
you don't know what you are doing

so tell me how you can't do nothing, and how everything is easier
and ask me what I should do to make it easier,
you are one of these girls that breaks hearts,
well I am not going to let you continue to do this to me,
that girl over there is more than happy to take your spot,
like a number in line, maybe she will not treat me like I never mattered

you grow up, and get old,
you get tired, and start to pretend life is such an amazing thing,
I hate feeling like I should flaunt how much better off you were,

you thought you could walk away without scars?
I've been torn to pieces at your own hands,
you will see everything you could have had,
you won't look me in the eyes next time and say you're talking to him,

you'll look away and wish away all the mistakes you've made,
and I won't be the one looking for a way out
because the girl over there noticed where I was

Aftermath

A dream too late
I walk through empty streets knowing you're not here

In your words I say I need space,
You broke a promise

A break to save me,
A car couldn't stop for me,
I broke way to see you

I'm not occupied, I'm vacant,
Girl you owe me so much for this one

The aftermath looks dead and dreary,
After all the times you said you'd never leave,
You walked away

When I Realized

I started working on this about 4 months ago...

When I woke up today, all I wanted to say was I love you
Oh I love you,

For everything you do that makes me smile, it makes me free,
I know now you'd never leave my side, you'd never let me feel less important

When I realized you were the one for me, it set me free, it made me feel, like the machines in this place can't pull us apart

Could you pull this apart?
Would anything change how you felt the day you said goodbye, when you said I can't do this?

You set me free, you said go away,
But I'm here to stay, for my love for you is not temporary or wearing thin,
Let me in, let me in, let me free, so I can run with our love and we can fly like kites until the end of time,

When I sleep I dream of you, and when I pray, I think of you, and ask how could it be this way, that you could ever feel to say, goodbye, goodbye,

You let me be, the man I needed to be, but I'm broken and though your blind eyes you can't see, that I'm still the same man I was back then, and if I could do it, I'd do again, so I could feel your lips on mine because they set me free, they set me free, they set me free

When I realized you were gone I asked myself what have I done
I can still feel you in my heart,

Hills are Harder to Climb than Mountains

Enter the room built just for you
fade,
destroy,
escape
It's just a trap baby, it always was
you weren't ever meant to leave here,
fall,
tangled into knots
It's not a trip baby, it's just you
I want to see you consciously decide whats proper
I never understood what you wanted of me, until you ripped it out of me
I believe in what we have, I know it is just being sidelined, and hasn't been buried
these hills are harder to climb, trust me, I've been the shoes once or twice before
it looks so easy from far away, but gravity is relentless and begins to put everything
down onto your shoulders as you embrace what you thought was a simple task

from far away, you look so frightful, like someone took your humanity and threw it away
I never understood women and their little quirks like this,
I always knew you, from the day I met you

Enter the cave made naturally,
it's God's will to make you see what you need in life
some space and appreciation
fade,
rebuild,
reenter
It's not just a trap girl, it's meant to be
It's not just real love girl, it's everything more
we have moved mountains together
we have created the most beautiful life together,
and I have based my life around your needs

But what if you need me to not be in your life for a little bit longer?
Struggling through the tears, I saw someone in more pain than me,
and realized I'm not the only hurting in this
for you, I'll do anything,
I don't just love you, I'm still in love with you
I'd move a planet for you
until I rupture myself, just to make you see what kind of man I truly am
no I am not a God, but I am one to be your forever after

if I died right now, you'd never know
but at least you could believe,
I did it all for you, and I'd do it again
endure,
conquer,
live
for you, my life is coming around the next corner, in hopes your embrace awaits
I'll cherish this moment, I swear,
from now on, it's going to never stop, I'll never give up on you, even if you already have,
I believe you are the reason why I am still here on this planet, and she is why I am grateful

you are my angel, I know God sent you to us
I know you are the most beautiful thing on this planet,
I'll build a home for you, I'll make your life full
you have your whole life ahead of you and I want to be the father you'll always love
and the only one you'll ever need
you have the most beautiful smile, I swear it makes me cry
when I think about how much I miss you,
believe,
hope,
faith
and today I will make tomorrow your smiles turn to gold
I will make you believe

I built all these mountains in hope you'll conquer everything put in your path
you have everything in front of you,
we have purpose together,

I love you


For Jessica and Chloe

Let Our Veins Explode

I see fake people everywhere I look,
Does that make me insane?
We thought we built our love with Adobe, turns out it was just mud not properly placed
So let our veins explode in love or hate
As I'm kicking these monsters out, I'm just hoping you let me back in.

Yet as we stare at yellow lines, face down on the table, I invested my heart and soul into you
But despite my belief in you, you cashed out on me, as I crashed face first onto someone else's dashboard

You are ironic, saying you want happiness
I am ironic, saying I hope you come to realize everything I am
Let our veins explode
In tears, or happiness

You can be happy, you are everything I want to be
Let's go back to black Friday, as we stood in the freezing cold, just holding onto eachother.

I've run low on rivers, There are no fish to catch on these seas, I've got my eyes on you

Let our veins explode all over our syndication or indication, this is only our first chapter, even if its the second book

carry me (neverletgo)

You are the sunrise, right before the storm, your words like cyclones are just hitting home, I could flood the streets just from this, and hope you would carry me

You sit down next to me and say things will be fine, you lay awake saying you can't be mine
You once said you'd never let go, but I think you were a different version of the person you are

In a midnight attempt, I call to say goodbye, instead I ask for you
How am I supposed to be a strong reliable man, when my last block keeping me up is taken away without consideration?

You are the hope I have for my life carry me, and never let go
Last time you said you didn't want this, our lives together started.
Carry me,  and never let go.
