American I am always inside myself
Come home from your travels out west And I promise I’ll be the best, Better than I’ve ever been These are the song I’ll be writing if you plan on leaving If you leave, leave knowing you’re leaving my behind I’m not ready for the big dreams and lights I’m not ready for the endless nights out on the road Cause if I go, then who am I inside? I can’t piggy-back your big dreams And keep mine in a jar I want careless bed and breakfasts And falling for the wonder that you are But the nights are getting colder and your dreams are getting bigger Longing for the long nights on the road, Living for the stage and spotlights While I’m quietly at home So if you love me, believe me when I say, I love you endlessly I wish you where coming home tonight, stay for more than till sunlight I only know you in my dreams, replaying what we used to be

Longing
I am looking for forgiveness In the words that you speak But I’m not sure what I need To be forgiven for Its as if I left without a note And you still knew to pick up the phone Cause the voicemails changed And you don’t sound the same, anymore I can’t seem to find myself In what my world's become I can’t find myself in you, anymore I wish that the answers were easy But they’re still hard to hear Cause you won’t speak them If I told you that I missed myself Would you give her back?

Reflection
They march down the pathways Spoiled with the residue of death As the haze of loss illuminates the sky The pain grows as if the sun still shines On bright green grass Oh the smell of summer in their dreams The sound of boots marching on As the dirt rises in the air The sound of their steps Hallow while their souls are bare The horror flashes in the storm On the silhouette of clouds March, March, Marching on They walk the barren land The empire no longer capable to stand As its foundation falters

Battalion
Shallowly My body quivers Out In So, frantically begging To open And be filled But nothing changes Nothing moves Nothing Silence, physically pleading Pouring into the meaninglessness An ocean with no shore A storm with no eye Life Without living Death Without dying

Stagnant Breath
A battleground The enemy; the state As tanks lined the street ways In the dark of the night Like gasoline Coating skin Matches in a hostile hand Suffocating; breathless As poison exuberates The sewer lines The dirt; the grunge The sunlight Its first stream of rise Golden on the alleyways Where fear reverberates and strives Like radiation seeping through The walls Filling the empty space Until it bursts and fills The residents Hallow; shallow souls The people fill the town From outside their wooden doors And pour into menacing streets With the lies promising in their eyes Foreboding air fills their lungs Like innocence and love They look into the barrels Of guns made out of steel Silver shinning in the dawn light The sleek shiver down their spines The taste of ammunition Like liquid on their tongues They cling to one another Like smoke to its flame The ash of propaganda A fire extinguishing their pain

Battleground
Panic Pulsing of the heart So violently loud Thick blood Pumping through blue veins Unnamed captives Built in the chest Crumbling Battle of broken souls Hands against ears As eyelids squeeze shut The sound of guns Breaking A ragging warrior Hear pain Against words Breaths against the chest Beginning Beginning for Hot, sweat, hurt Drowsy eyes pry open Hands wipe tears The moment is over Beauty lies Within fear

Shattering Point
hot melting pouring your sweet scent between my lips so lightly spread air thick with anticipation of your taste oh Lady Summer, i pray for your embrace Lady Winter, your cold burning the warmth against my skin taking all the day light repenting for my sins the hallow haunting of afflictions as november wraps me in ice frosted fingertips bleeding in my skin oh Lady Winter, please leave me be painted by the pain your weathered your eyes can see As I wait for Lady Summer hearing faint whispers in the wind of a kiss I might remember in a place I used to live

Summer Embrace
to put the gun in my hand to place the barrel against my head to pull the trigger if, i want do you love me enough to tie the weights against my feet to drag me to the dock through me over, if i ask do you love me enough pour cyanide in my cup mix it well and place the glass on my table, if i need do you love me enough force the nails through my hands and bound my feet together crucify me for my sins, if i beg do you love me enough do you love me enough to let me go, if i cry
