Something there is that doesn't love a wall
I am bending in the wind, I am cracking at the roots, Drowning in old reboots. All I know is what I don’t want, But all I do want is to be proven wrong. Introduce me to a different song. I am blending into the trees, No longer recognized by thee. Barely floating with my head above sea, Bearing anchors on each my ankles. All I can see is who I used to be, fragments of what once was, just bleeding at the seams. Just trying to march to my own beat, but finding it easier to flee. So I go swimming with the fishes. Everything quiet, everything at peace. Once easily deceived by shadows of wishes that would never be. Now only one shark is left swimming at sea.

Swimming with the Fishes
I feel like I'm being pulled in every direction My life is a cluttered mess I feel too much emotion and I start to second guess I'm stubborn, hard headed And over-sensitive at best My tongue moves too fast But my mind moves too slow The words that escape become an unfriendly foe The layers begin to crumble and the doors begin to unfold I always ruin everything, leaving nothing to hold I don't know which way to go or where I'll be at next I have a lot to get off my chest but my mind needs some rest The words I try to say aren't the ones I really meant This is all just one giant mess

Désordre
I'm stubborn and clumsy Not just with my actions, With my words I'm sensitive and sweet But I'll play your words on repeat I love like a sunset But am sad like the moon Surrounded by stars But still alone in a crowded room Half way to Mars

An Autobiography
If I had to pick two colors, I'd have to pick black and gold The way you laughed, the way you spoke You beam colors, Black and gold No matter where I go you're somewhere in my soul I don't know why I can't let you go Millions of miles apart Still the color changes in my heart Black and gold It wasn't just a kiss with his hands down her waist and hips "I love you, I can explain this" Down with this ship. Shattered to a million pieces No more amends and peaces Now my heart feels empty, my heart feels black Trapped with all the things I lack Your love made me erode And if our love had two colors They'd be black and gold

Black and Gold
The roses you once planted in my soul Grow thorns everywhere I go They say it takes 21 days to kick a habit But they must not have met you For you are more than just an absence You demand to be felt And I'm sorry about the ****** cards we were dealt They say it takes 21 days to kick a habit 21 days and you're not an addict But still you melt my heart like acid And I still don't know what happened

Addict
I'll celebrate today Like I'm meant to stay I'll laugh and play Along, accepting broken praise Please still know I'll be thinking of you, my favorite foe Surrounded by faces and voices But still I miss your noises Shouldn't want to spend my time with you Shouldn't give in to your deception With you, I always make an exception It started with a stumble Suddenly I was falling in with your rubble Just a fragment of your heart A sliver of your chest Whatever happened to the rest? Happy birthday to me And all I should be But still I'm wishing I could be celebrating with thee

Happy Birthday
They say they see a light Deep in my tired eyes A spark still inside Waiting to ignite But still I feel so little Like I'm lost and stuck in the middle My flowers can't bloom Trapped in a golden tomb I need the sun For the daisies to grow in my lungs I need the sun For the sunflowers on my tongue I can't remember how I got this far I've been lost for months, weeks, maybe days Lost in your trance Stuck in a daze Your eyes tell a story One your mouth can't convey Never having the right words to say I disappeared in your quiet eyes For they have nothing to hide But won't you please show me The way back To my Quiet light?

Quiet Light
She's lost and she's cold Not only her mind, also her soul She's scared and confused Radiating colors and hues Pinks and blues Gentle sorrows and subtle boo hoo's Thorns on her tongue Roses in her chest Still she finds it hard to catch her breath If only she could see The little magic she can be She bites her lip but sips her tea She won't tell you what it's like to be thee She won't be lonely long Her velvet skin and satin hair She's quite the stare When it begins to rain She always stays Growing daisies on her skin So many flowers growing within

Pinks and Blues
My feelings are always too much Turned redundant to the only one Who could ever light me on fire like the sun Easier to keep them repressed No room for leaving or distress A love struck fool and never anything less I long for a lover who's looking to stay A friend until the darkest parts of day Maybe when the stars align I'll find the friend whom's heart matches mine Maybe one day my lover will belong He'll make my soul sing a sappy song Forget all the affliction that came along Growing and feeling made with Sweetness and being All the heartache and pain All the lovers lost in vain Until that day, I'll find a lover in the rain

Affliction
You're still messing up my days Ever since you went away Your existence leaves a haze Months, even days Still your presence seems to stay I lay and I wonder, Who could you possibly be under? As the rain started to fall Mother Nature began to thunder I could feel it all start to crumble I miss the way our hearts would brush I miss your fingers and their touch I miss the way our breathing would sync Our hands could always find their way through the sheets Do you brush her hair while you lean down and stare? Does she make you laugh when your days aren't fair? Do you think of my eyes and skin? Do you miss my embrace and my frame, so very thin? Or was I just a pit stop down the road? You, I may never decode Instead I watched you erode Slowly unravel and become new The boy with the smile of blue A stranger before me, someone I would never know Still I can't help but wonder About the boy without a number The boy who was quite the jumper The innocent boy who smiled of blue The innocent boy who left for something new
