This doomed vessel carries mortal cargo.
Buckle up tight we got a long way to go.
We travel with friend and undercover foe,
You ride inside or hide outside the door.
Against a dark background we fly together,
The night rushes by in a blur of street lamps and shop fronts,
Eager to reach our goal we force time to move faster,
Forgetting that one day these will he memories,
And these Memories I steal from from another time,
I nurse with false pride as they were never mine,
And as we blend we come apart again and again,
Never stopping never closer the horizon never gains,
The sand in the hourglass falls as I tap the life I used to know,
Existing on nostalgia, feeding off the Sparks from long ago,
Knowing I'll never he the one to hold you again,
Reaching out, always too far and yet always so close

Night time falls, daylight comes around.
I hear you call, you never make a sound.
The sun is up, I feel it on my back.
Walk away, I’m never coming back
Night time falling down on me
The stars like holes in the sky.
The tiny lights that shine down,
The light that’s in your eyes.
Your body’s pushing down on me,
I feel it when you breath,
You can time things by the second now,
It’ll **** me when you leave
Maybe one day, maybe one time,
Maybe somewhere, you could be mine
Now we’ve got to try to stay awake
And watch the sun go down.
The leaves the colours with the shadows
are scattered on the ground.
Sitting with my best friend
We’ve been watching bad TV
My mood is shifting,
I wish that you could stay
Maybe one day, maybe one time,
Maybe somewhere, you could be mine

Has there ever been a good time
Sometimes there was nothing much to say
Open me up and look on the inside
Take the pieces I don’t need
Stitch me back with golden needles
So it catches the sunlight when I turn
I will forever be reminded
These golden scars will never fade
Butterflies with razor blade wings
Fly gracefully inside of me
Do you ever swim in your sleep?
You’re always close to being drowned
Lie on the bed in a sea of trouble
Waiting for your net to pick me up
But there are no boats upon this ocean
The waves just toss them all away
I have to wait for calmer weather
Or pray I float towards the shore
I’ve taken all the mirrors down
All but the one beside the door
As I leave I check my refection
Just to be sure to put on a show
Butterflies with razor blade wings
Fly gracefully inside of me

This is the time of war, a battle within,
And I'm in at the end, where shadows begin.
The longest death of my life,
A sorrow denied will a sorrow grow
Paradise of wealth, built on the poor
Short times sail, love displaced for sure.
In chaos, where sad hours seem long,
Grief hits hard, the soul gives a song.
Exhale, it's all going to be okay,
Just not sure when, in this disarray.
No coming home, darkest when alone,
Floats on the surface, overthrown.
Displaced love, restless, untamed,
Drown the voices in rivers of fire, unnamed.
The clocks have stopped, signal of loss,
Quick sand drowns, the unprepared cost.
If time was a drug, overdose to heal,
Collateral beauty in the pain we feel.
Make the world spin the other way?
Turn today into yesterday.
Stand fast and hold firm,
With your absence, I am alone.
In this new landscape where shadows play
We carve our names as time slips away

You only wound so many times
Then you die, or you fight back
I'm learning on this journey
vague morals are my guide
Inside the broken hour glass
I can look as I please
Time stands still
Then moves forward with ease
Don't give up your future for me
I'm a broken for sure
Sweep up the pieces please
then leave them by the door
Have you ever lost everything?
Or are you missing some toys?
To play with, then to discard
Ready to pick up when board
It's good I don't feel
It's good I don't cry
This broken component
Can never lie

The end, when it came wasn't really out of the blue but it still struck me with surprise. I guess I thought I was ready for it. The pain however was something new entirely. I've never felt like dying before, never had a reason.

This is not your loss
For it is mine
We shall meet again
When I run out of time
Sit and wonder
Things of the stars
Caught between here
And the days of youth
This fragile life
Like broken glass
I cut my hand
Picking up the pieces
You speak of times before
From back and beyond;
Places where we stayed
People who we loved
Forever we will tell
Forever letting go
Colour golden highs
Painted black the lows
What has gone before
Will go again
And I'll see you there
Take care my friend
You walk round again
Nothing's wrong or gone
Sunshine tinted moments
I still hear your song
This won't hide in shadows
It's all in the light
Life is made from time
And everything's alright

How does it feel? It feels bad
The acid burns, the anger stabs
What do I do?I don't know
Do I let it sit or let it flow?
Is this the end or the start?
It kills then breaks my heart
Where does it go? Does it compete?
It's all pain with no treat
Hating me, hating you
Going to see it through
Is this the end or the start?
To separate, to fall apart

Goodbye, goodbye
To all I know
Things they change
Things they flow
The light has died
You never saw
I should change
I should grow
Thirsty, thirsty
Need to drink
Fill me up
Before I sink
Hungry, hungry
Need to eat
Take my fill
Let me sleep
Shadows move around
Things which are still

This drunken encounter
Under beams of the moon
Time won't come quick enough
But it will come too soon
Surrounded, arms wrap around
Encompassing bodies of fire
Playing these well worn games
Like puppets hung on a wire
Emerging, I shall tomorrow
Into this pretty skin
Where everything starts again
This new life shall begin
