I will get a moon right there Where you kissed me I will pin it with needles and ink And make the stars watch As my skin shivers out of the hurt you have kept in me I will step away and watch from a far Maybe drink more Or hold on to my guitar I will climb every roof and curse the words for being real I will hold every ocean and swallow every fear I will keep my moon right there Beneath my ear Where it can whisper and I can hear All the things you have failed to say.

All the things you have failed to say
I need a cigarette I want a pitch black coffee And a cigarette I need a window On the 7th floor And an empty flat Streets with chaos and corruption Allys with secrets that stink And you out of my head I want a wounded room in the middle of a clutter Where the cracks speak the terrors stuck in my throat and silhouettes with night stories. I want you Right there by the corner Where I can inhale you in the dark and steal your scent like a gem I could keep on my chest. I want you Out of my body Yet it is windy It is dim, lonely and hallow It is pulsing and it is late Late enough to sit by the window Sipping at that pitch black coffee Waiting to be saved by the morning Or a cigarette.

A cigarette
If I should tell the world about you I would plug my heart into an amp Let the music play Until the echo turns into thunder And the earth quakes out of bass If I should tell the world about you I would place my hand on your chin And my body would speak you in shivers and lightning. There is ache underneath my skin There is tragedy There is enough poetry to defy my pride Enough ornery to stab my own mind How much stubborn hope could one breath of life carry How much fire does it take for one chest to freeze How much more agony could you bring And how much more could I give If I should tell the world about you I couldn't It would take so much of me And you have already had enough

Despair
They say if you love something set it free If it returns, it’s yours. If it doesn’t then it never was meant to be.   But, often times I wonder What’s worse? If our time together Was a blessing or a curse? Trying to hold on to something With hope and faith alone. Or having confirmation that in your arms, I never belonged. How could you possibly decide the lesser evil of those two? When every road or path I take Seems to lead back to you? Should I close my eyes And flip a coin? Or go on living life without ever knowing If the loss of our love I’d mourn? Well... all the cards in my hand I’ve played. For the chance to see If you’d fly away or by my side you’d stay It’s a hard fact of life I have learned Just because you love someone It doesn’t mean your love they deserved Today I set you free my love To move on and Soar free To find your hearts desire Since it simply wasn’t me One day I imagine you’ll Reflect upon our love I hope you’ll wonder If by chance it had been sent from above

Son of Peleus Lord of the sword Fill my wounds with whatever filled yours And I will chant of the wars you haven't gone on We'll spill our drinks for the sake of glory And curse the gods for failing our story Son of Nymph Drain my chest of whom it beats to Skin it open and tear it apart I am stuck Stuck in a ship graveyard Where ghosts speak my name in a lullaby Send me an anchor Pull me aboard We'll sail to whatever land you command And match our scars to whatever made us stand Son of Peleus Soldier of your own Take me a rebel of another time I am filled with wrath And you have already gone that path

Call to Achillies
Nothing lasts forever That's why i won't say never I keep my heart open Even though it keeps no hope And its why i keep my head up Despite the ugly whether If you decide you want this I will be here waiting If you figure out you love me I will be here waiting I want to call you my baby But im afraid you hate me Because i dont want to impose An idea that you dont suppose Could be truth but we know different We know its a false existence You and me can never just be We need something we know that we won't see Its because we were raised to believe In something more than god could deliver to thee

Prison of the heart
She already knows about metaphors She knows about cliffs and edges About how much I loved all She understood the wilderness I don't want tamed Gets the fire kept for the hurt you have claimed I'm a runner Too broken to stay I'm a hider Too scared to play Chase me around the pines Find me in the dark Through the eyes that glow beneath the stars Catch me naked and touch me where I keep my scars Then Maybe Just Maybe You would understand Like she understood Or know Like she knows Till that, I will run again Catch another sunset myself Find another edge, another cliff Another metaphor For when you ask me Like she did "Why a fox?" I would say Like I did "I Love Orange"

Cursed
You are not much of a talker Maybe that's what has gotten into me Having to look you in the eyes every time you spoke Reaching for the words you wouldn't slip Like a treasure hunt At the bottom of the ocean Never much oxygen to breathe yet enough heart beat to keep from suffocating And if I could stick my hand beneath my skin I would rip you Like another dissonant string in the middle of a perfect pitch Pull you out of my ribs and sit away in silence Tracing back the days to that one night You caught my neck between your teeth Bit your venom right into me and left The way you leave every burning temple Like a fucken coward Afraid the fire would burn further than the back of your hand Or the broken glass would cut deeper into the side of your eyebrow And I know I've got both your fears buried inside of me Ready to sting But they would never tear you apart Not the way you're tearing me In silence

His silence
Do not blame me for trying to understand That's like blaming the stars for whatever they had It's too late they're dead Do not put that blame on me I got lost and I can't find my way back I got tears I can no longer hold back I got beautiful thoughts starting to turn black Please see the fear filling my chest and ice burning my skin I am the angry roar of the storm I am the motion of the wind I am the shy glimpse of the sun I am the human Blame me Blame me for my will for the empty glass I can't fill For the questions I can't take and the walls I can't break Blame the light for breaking the dark I have spread Just don't blame the stars They are dead
