These nights,
As I’m listening as people bleed themselves into their art
I wish I could do the same..

These nights,
As I long for something I cannot decipher
I wish I knew what it meant..

These nights,
So pure so unadulterated
I wish it would last forever.

Beautiful boy
Fairytale frog
Stupid girl
Like a loyal dog

A magic gem
that lost it's shine
It ceased to sparkle
When you weren't mine

A secret place
Too long lost
Heart of gold
Bitten by frost

A special love
that's disappeared
Now there's just me,
And hate, and fear

The star that shot
Left me here alone
With nothing else to do
But make my way home

I see him there
But he doesn’t talk
He finds me staring
And turns around to walk

Is this what we’ve been reduced to?
Ignorant bliss - solely for you

Shackled to our bonds
And surrounded by brambles
Like sand castles by the sea
Strong foundations crumble

My hand shakes, my pen breaks
But I am not suppressed
Tearing grass and filling pages
With a force I never knew I possessed

Feeling unwanted, ignored and lost
I sink down with the approaching dusk
Losing myself in the thick mist
My identity becomes a mask

My lips start to quiver
Because you’re right there
But you’re looking right through me
I realize, with a shiver

Nothing remains, all is lost
My efforts are in vain
Pain and twangs of sadness are all I have
When you are washed away in the rain

Hope isn't the thing with feathers
nor does it perch in the soul

It's the crystal **** of emotions
It kills you fast when you're on the hook

It's bad that everyone believes in it
they're all unsuspecting victims
A vicious cycle that they don't know they're in

It'll feed you its delusions
Until you have to beg for your sleep
But in all of this, you don't realise
you'll lose your peace.
