Summers end evokes an ache so tender and calm
That sits beneath your chest - demanding to be felt
It’s quiet and consuming
As you lay with it at night
And In the quiet hours it’s what’s keeping you alive
This irreverent sting is all that’s left
In the wake of the snowstorm -
It’s the only reminder there was light before the fall
But fires don’t burn forever - day always turns into night
And the night pales in comparison
And the low is greater than the high
Then that familiar feeling reopens old scars
And you hang there by a thread slighted until you're starved

He’s lost in the beauty brought from the night
Says it’s a gift from the moon that disappears in the light
He’s wild at heart
And his mind is a storm
He rages through life
Hell bent for more
Born to resist
And hungry for life
He gets caught between the wrong and right
His intentions are gold
But he dares to be bold
He’s a rebel in disguise
Or so he’s been told
He does what most wont to feel alive
Anything to make his heart beat out of time
He writes your name on the soles of his feet
And he runs
He runs
Until they bleed
Away from the light
Far from what’s real
He runs
He runs
Until they bleed

I fear a feel no shame
Looks burn through me with pure disdain
Bloodshot eyes and the widest of smiles
Brown dust
Burnt up
Messed up tonight
Gonna feel it this time
'Cause I hit it more real this time
You say I always take it way too far
Now I'll never change from where you are
I have a restless mind
Cracked mirrors don't lie
Born for chaos
I fade into the night
Dancing barefoot with flickering fire
Always a wild one - strung tight as wire
I come around to tell him that I want more
He says to be cool
I say this is what I live for

I self destruct
It's what I do best
I wreck things I love
I leave behind mess
I'm on a war path of my own
And I burn bridges better than most
Set in my ways like stone
I keep wandering lonely roads
Brought up in a tired old town
I've never been one for sticking around
I've got madness on my mind
I keep running to leave it behind
This cold heart keeps warm
Wrapped up in trouble is all I know
I wear it like an armour
Sticks and stones won't break these bones
Wise crack
Wild as a fire
I'll say the wrong thing
Build you up like a tower
Then you'll crash to the ground
When I leave this old town
Don't be surprised when I say
I never wanted to stay

You feed me words I swallow whole
Hung up on everything you do
You give my heart that summer night feeling
My head is spinning
My stomach is reeling
You shoot me that look and my bones start the shake
I know this time it's my heart at stake
Your fingertips begin to trace my skin
As the trees outside sway in the wind
From the outside I'm calm and steady
But on the inside my blood feels heady
When the light hits your eyes
You've never looked so fine
You pull me closer
And we dance till its light
In our wildest moments I feel so alive
I said I fell for you
It was a crash dive

Shook up inside these walls
The ones I built to never fall
There's chaos in my mind
A darkness left undefined
To catch a glimpse of me
Look into my eyes
I'll never say what's on my mind
Still waters run deeper this time
Cut through my solid walls
Chip through my concrete edges
Pierce through the cold barrage
Stand taller than all my ledges
Waves crash all around me
I'm stranded yet unbound
I'm neither here nor there
Never lost nor found
But I'll be yours to figure out.

Set fire to my skin
Let me feel something again
Watch me as I burn
And I breathe you in
In the dark of the night I can feel you
And I need this feeling to last
I repent for my ways
Relive those dark days
And I lose my mind over you
When the lights go off do you feel the same?
When the lights go on do we begin again?

We could never have had it all
That was our greatest downfall
You wanted everything to be right
And I messed us up in time
You said I was a whirlwind of contradiction
Sunny one minute and a downpour the next
You couldn't recognise the chaos behind my eyes
Or understand the trouble that left me tired
You hated my mess and reckless ways
Those times I'd sit completely hazed
You hated not knowing what was on my mind
But I couldn't divulge the dark that I hide
I wanted to be pure for you
And left unscathed from my ways
But even with a burning heart -
I still knew how to be cold from the start
In the end, everything you said was fire
When you couldn't get my mind right
We said some things we both regret
But we can never turn back the time

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted,
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.
The dew of the morning
Sank chill on my brow—
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame:
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.
They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o’er me—
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:—
Long, long shall I rue thee
Too deeply to tell.
In secret we met—
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?—
With silence and tears.

The lake where we sat
Dark blue
Old creek
The taste of second chance
Lingering
Teasing me
The smell of cut grass
Cheap wine in our glass
Wet face from heartache
We reminisce the distant memories
Stories unfold
Truths untold
The taste doesn't taste the same again
We try to right the wrongs
Holding on too tight for too long
But summers end is near
So we kiss away our fears
And then let go
