I want to live as if I'm water that's caught fire.
You're daring to walk closer. Taunting, pleading. You're one step away. It hears your cry. Turn! Run! Why? This is what you wanted!

Desire
A burning pain of sensational fear I stand amid the moaning roar Humbly undermine and become your heart Fall to oblivion beyond the rim of flame Bring upon a gloomy blithe Remembrance of a surf-tormented shore Suicidally beautiful, a blessēd curse Power of the universe beating in your chest

Relinquish What You Lost
Frightening. Cannot yet must. Strength and bravery will help me through. Faith. Christ will strengthen. I can do all things through Him. Nobility. Honor from peers. Acceptance may falter but respect will not. Anything. Scares or upsets. Overcoming a problem when you try best. Courage. Strength through faith. Nobility and bravery: earn honor above all.

Courage. Honor. Respect.
Left every move uncertain Eerie malevolent phantom no proper contact of Touch There was no Howl nor sound people said he Existed Dear voice of Every child - Afraid of the Dark railing Broken cough Uneasy steps Reeling in as the Young moon draws water Thin Hands drive scissors Expression suprisingly warm mouth Drooling open Early when the moon was down Asking, will you take me home? shooting a Dead mockingbird

Mockingbird
And the way your smiling eyes look at me, caring, checking that I am alright. That look. Every detail of your face. The way you are always kind, thoughtful. You stop and rest, waiting, knowing that I cannot go on. Itching to move, yet patient. This is you. You care. You're kind. You're thoughtful, patient. Every day as I notice the little things you do and say, I fall.

Details
Where do I begin? So I was lost and I'm terrified of these four walls. And if I close my eyes, I'm falling With my heart like a stone and these broken wings. How am I gonna be an optimist about this? These city walls of my callous mind ain't got no love for me and the effect of my shame. I want to know what it's like to be the last one standing, neither lost nor found. These iron bars can't hold my soul in. I'm gonna leave this life behind me. It's worth saving me, I'll show what I can be. And as the clouds roll over the hills I crawl on hands and knees. The walls come down in the city and I scream. But when I'm on my knees I'll still believe Because Heaven's gates open up and the dust settles around me.

I'll Still Believe
My train of thought turns your way but you've derailed and crashed into the brush trying to get away.

And my mind is filled with dreams, images of happenings that will never occur.

Hands are shaking but I know they won't fail. Stepping up the the line - my sixty mark. This is nothing like running on a trail. Different from hitting out of the park. The run-up looks easy but it's quite hard. Counting steps to correctly plant the pole. To pull myself up, my arms must be barred. My body must have the strength of a troll. Powerful kick to get to inversion. The sensation of being upside down is nasty and takes complete conversion. I fly up and over the bar and town. And the difference between me and you: my parents are proud of the high I do.

Get High
Tears rolling down my cheeks This is not strength I can do better than this But sometimes My heart and mind Overflow And I don't say a word Not wanting to worry you
