You don't know how much of my time I'd **** to have some of yours
Because I would choose to be next to you more than I could show
All the ****** and the liars have faced me and I have fought them
Anticipating to find you on the other side
I have fallen for the trap of only having eyes for one
Now I see him everywhere
In the house, in my blouse, at any happiness, any despair
There's a new force in all I do
Haunting me and warming me up
Reminding me life isn’t worth living alone
And I am ready to include two just as my mind does
I want you to look for me in a crowded room
To find solace in my eyes
When you hit a note on the guitar
You come to me with a smile
And it won’t be a surprise that I care
And you’ll know I’ll always be there
Then you go home expecting to unfold all you still don’t know
And I’ll do it too cause I want to know you the most I can
It will be in our faces, the way we behave
Stealing senses with just one gaze
And everyone sees it, but we pretend they don’t
Friends annoyed of our mischievous fun
You can’t be around me without a giggly laugh
I can’t hide with my body what’s in my chest
They will call it love I will call it your name
So I be here waiting, spilling blood, spelling the letters to scream it that day.
I knew something as kid
that now I have forgotten
Time tricks you into thinking
you are going forward
I was chasing being brilliant,
So they told me stupidity
was the prize of intelligence - I get that now
But I’m yet craving sagacity,
Then will I truly get it when I get the chance?
Because perhaps what I lost
is an ignorance that I’ll never recover
And I’ll never be as smart as when i was dumber

How tragic is an ambitious man who is against ambition?
How vain is the life that chooses beliefs before redemption?
Go find comfort in any religion, does it all help with your affliction?
Hope you find somewhere safe for what you really pay attention
Behind the moral wall you made for glass ovations
What happens if that place is ruled by hades?
Do you run when you realize your lust wasn’t heaven-sent?
Will then redemption exist because you made a mistake?

You taught me how to fly
Just to cut my wings off
And when I tried to glide
You put me in the box

Locked me in a cage I couldn’t escape
I thought I could find freedom if I soared away
But you find ways to make me stay

Feathers on the floor, scissors on the drawer
your new technique to keep me around your garden,
to leave me a walking bird.

You seized my all, left me torn
Now, obligated to dwell in your world
I don’t wanna call you mine
But I am yours.

I wish I was the kind of person who let things go
But if I died tomorrow I would give up peace to hunt you as a ghost
And I say I don’t hold grudge
But I don’t let it slip away from my fingers as if it’s precious as gold
Cause my past is my pride
it connects to my soul
once new, once old
My past is warning
Not something I can loath
If it leaves me the print I won’t be the same one
For me, no amount gold is ever worth
what I gain from what I hold on to

You make quixotic seem conceivable 
long eternity to our ephemeral game 
sometimes meeting you felt like
the serendipity gods took place 

cross your heart hope to die
you will love me when
even the tears are gone
and I promise you will be
more than just another song

Illusionary scenes are real to me
They exist as well as I breathe
And you fit in every part of my fantasy’s

My Eros made you a muse
Now I fear all I have is subject to be lost
And I will wait to see it abuse
The power it first cost
a lifeline

When you walk through the streets
and a flower falls on your head
you get reminded of the picture you took
and she had a wreath in her hair
And you realize you can’t escape woman
that once shared your breath
Not even the seasons will put you to rest

You blink and you can suddenly see
The flowers have become leaves
And you’re still cursing my name
when think of me
Your mistakes will follow you
the whole year.
