if ever

you don’t

feel

like you have a home,

pull me close,

wrap your arms around me,

rest your head on my chest,

close your eyes,

and feel the warmth of the fireplace

resonating from within my heart.

An espresso for the mind

So the tongue can express

In simple words with perfect rhyme

How it feels like when we kiss

Would you spend the night and talk?

Tell me secrets, maybe walk?

Laugh around and share my air,

Show me someone could still care?

Fix the bruises on my back,

They are painful, turning black,

Save my soul from leaking out?

I can't keep myself about..

And in chaos, rose a forest that grew with the rain of rage,

And took light from the fire of my everlasting shame,

And through puddles of my misery, life found a way to be,

And grasped spirit from my memory, and on agony it did feed,

There I learned, stone by stone, how to build a safer home,

There I learned, bone by bone, how it's like to be alone.

The world moves in rhyme with the beats of his heart,
Taking shapes of everything that sets his mind apart.
His fingers sway to play the notes of, both, dear life and death.
For his strings were blessed to hold, both, dear peace and mess.
The music in his veins fuels his pain to ignite a flame,
To dawn over his shame, shut madness' claim he's insane.
It's swinging on the walls of every home he's ever had,
That home was never really part of any room or flat.
But dwells inside his lonely guitar a heaven of his own.
The tragedy of the closest thing to home he'd ever known

So I found a place
So I found a place to cry
Why does it hurt?
Why does it hurt to see me die?

I thought you wanted to break me
I thought you loved my pain
Can it be you may,
You may have gone insane?

So I learned my lesson
So I learned to feel
Why isn’t it ever,
Isn’t it ever real?

I thought you wanted to break me
I thought you loved my pain
Can it be you may,
You may have gone insane?

So I placed my heart on a silver plate
Served it with a fork of gold
All I got was shame and hate
But I only wanted to find home

I only wanted to find a soul
Why am I broken to the bones?
I only wanted to find love
Why do you want to break my heart?
