Smoke in the room I can't see you anymore Where did you go We had it all Three fearful years So many troubles, so many tears You needed something You blinded yourself - you saw me give nothing But I gave it all How can you see it now When I'm stuck inside this cloud Your ankles are chained to the ground You're begging me to save you somehow But your addiction with picking flowers Won't be much easier to fix than climbing towers With broken hands I think we should work on some different plans

Smoke & Flowers
It's hard to get out of bed these days Or do anything at all, really Everything is so dreary Sadness is all around me It's in the people and the air and the water I'm suffocating slowly Choking silently Or at least that's how it feels My morale for this strange battle called life has sunken like a ship It's hard to stop thinking that it shouldn't be a battle It's hard to stop thinking about being elsewhere It's hard to stop thinking about being bodiless How I long to see what's next But I know that I'm to stay here Deal with dignity, all of the drear It's not because there's pain in death, that I fear, But hurting those I love so dear

Just Stay in Bed
Your hands produce such beautiful sound It surprised me when I realized how much pain they could bring me When you crumple my heart into a Tiny tight ball Every time you sit there for what feels like forever In the corner Head tilted down Thumbs fiddling My hearts life is dwindling I can't breathe anymore And you don't even care When the tears begin to trickle Tickling my nose My bleeding heart, exposed And it takes so many minutes For you to see my face is soaked In my love for you My love that goes unnoticed Just like the tears That just spilled for 20 minutes And you only caught them for 5

I inhale your scent subtle sweet sweat; similar to sunrise after a dreary drizzle I want to crush you up, inhale melt you down, swallow you like syrup pour you over my pancakes- you are so warm subtle sweet sweat; similar to the sounds of saxophones on Thursday night I want to crush you up, inhale crush you up, inhale

Uppers
You are an ocean breeze Inside of me, Pleasant, but cold Quite often the waves rise up in me They crash and collide inside of my walls Everything is dark Sometimes you are the sun The birds on the branches of my lungs sing Everything is beautiful

Waves
I want to rip you out of my heart like I rip the best pages out of poetry books Crumple you up and carry you around in my pocket Rubbing your edges between my finger tips while I walk Just for comfort I want to read you over and over again Until I know every word Every comma Everything by heart When I get home I'll flatten you out Frame you Put you on my wall And hope to forget that you're there Although I know you always will be
