Perfection is a myth / Opinions are a gift / Perception is the key / Obsessions is disease / / This is what I have learned in my short life.
The smile that sparks my soul My checks burning red with my heart beating out of my chest The feeling starts to subside When fear starts to tear me down Does your heart skip a beat every time we meet Or do your feelings stop at the whites of your teeth Technology makes me want to sing to you at every minute But every text doesn't sound like the right tone I hold back with the thought of smothering This old soul knows better then to clip an angels wings So instead I sit Wondering if we may ever be in love I know this could be true And I know I could love you But even in my souls age The thought of a lady saying no is still my biggest fear

Courage in every way but yours
The color red is what pushes blood through my heart The color blue is what freeze's your every part Your touch is as cold as the top of a mountain My feeling isn't enough to thaw your glacier When I woke up this morning I knew what to do When you walked in the room I lost my feeling to spew My words fade faster then these feelings ever will But feelings grow stronger when you are dressed so true I think I love you but It's Not Fair

It's Not Fair
Him Shy as the nights sky Her Bright as the suns might You The one I see The one I want to please Me The one you pass The one you sit next to in class We The ones to be The ones that will never be

You and Me
As I sit and watch the world go round I can't help but laugh at the misfortune we are bound Humans basic pleasures make any man proud But all of his feelings have just run aground I have fought to hard for this life to just end But what chose dose a man have when he play's with sin And quite whispers speak of pleasure and gin I know there will be peace right before my fine This gateway to the endless adventure is closing So let me just stop laying and poising As times journey for me keeps unfolding My feeling and emotions will never stop growing

Quite Whispers
Gravity's crawl reality reaping justice on my mind Could this be the night that I leave this all behind Or do St's sing my name As the demons drag my hid   Any promise for tomorrow Seems to fade and crack though time With thoughts of careless planning Brings thoughts of carefree sinning In the end it's only me All alone in this family tree Heaven begs my name As the devil calls my number

Spiral Spinning Soul
Innocence can be washed by inebriated leaps When one person speaks with incoherent speech Regardless the belief when a simple man weeps His heart beats for two and this thought I hope you keep

The look in your eyes
I catch a bullet in my teeth every time I hear you speak You have me kneeling in my sleep and it's becoming very weak I fumble in the street trying to find some ******* peace Now my drink has grown a leak and I'm puking in a heap
