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

Lifeline

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

Seasons

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.

Lily

Lily, how you make me so disconcerted
They call it silly but it takes the air of my lungs
And I know it’s not your concern
I know it’s not you concern

Lily, how it feels to brush a hair made of silk?
You ask yourself if they’ll love you
but it is obvious they will
Your existence is so sweet
Like gold learned to breathe

What is it like to have everything
fallen into place all the time?
I’m watching she smile with her bright eyes
Wishing those could be mine

Lily, your grace is consistent with the light
Your semblance is as wispy as if you could fly
Maybe one day I wont be so ambivalent
and so bothered that you aureate

What is it like to have everything
fallen into place all the time?
I’m watching she smile with her bright eyes
Wishing those could be mine
Be more sylphlike
Envy plagues my life

Lily, it’s not your fault I’m so blue
And how I compare myself to all you do

backward of my aunts house

grass beneath my feet
sun burning my skin
but I don’t care about hurting my chin
I’m just running while I’m still five feet

It’s still fun to play hide and seek
I’m not hiding yet just for the sake of it
and I’m not worried I will lose my grin
my mouth was never close to a fist

and I’ll never get to shout so loud
or get that safe and sound
like in the backward of my aunts house.

My bones have already cracked now
I don’t frolic, I don’t sprout,
don’t visit
The backward of my aunts house.

Punisher

I have a record on being my own punisher
The bars on my cell were made
from my own words
I’m the warlock of my curse
Conjuring my worst

I constantly rewrite all my fantasies
Because I loathe even who I pretend to be
My consciousness is the intruder of my dreams
I stole my sleep

I need to feed my desires
Or push them away
But I’ll be there with them
I’ll be held by mistakes

I can’t control all the galaxies in the universe
Had that realization when I was moving none
How could I seek for that power after all I’ve done?

I need to feed my desires
Or push them away
But I’ll be an ignorant doing nothing
I can’t learn anything

They were tongue tied, they were mad when they saw me
Cause they could perceive all I tried to bury and all I hid
All my fool pretension masqueraded in gears I’ve seen
I’m an old fossil dressed in shiny things
I won’t be taken by the wind

After all I’ve lost and earned my hands are still empty
And the reflection of who I’ve become never felt so mean

Will I rest the beast controlling me?
Will I ever find peace in destiny?
I know I won’t know in obscurity.

Inquiry

Will I lose or find myself in you?
Could be the greatest thing
Or one to leave a bruise
Unknown feeling fight with my reason
To find the meaning of our season
Blind to my devotion made by desire
With no concern for my emotions
Even if it is one-sided
Why choose this position?
To live in affliction
Led by the concept of becoming whole,
When the demise of that deception
leads to the old mundane
As we lose our most laudable affection
Being left as one again
And to ask, why do we love in the first place?
