It's easy to lie,
Or let the words in my mouth
Fade. Just to let them die.

It's easy to forget
One day I'll be with them,
And that silence will be my last regret.

It's not easy to smile,
But for them I can try, because
What if we only have a little while?

Give me wings
And I'll fly
Give me melody
And I'll be what every bird sings

Take my eyes
I'll be blind, I'll be wise
Take my feet
I'll crawl, I'll not accept defeat

Give me blue
And I'll be in the sky
Give me a day
And I'll say
Thank you.

Blank stare,
Poker face
The deadly silence in the air
Drives them out of place

Smiles slip
Like rain, like tears
They are in my grip
I know their sorrow, I know their fears
And I am helpless to watch their sanity rip

They pound me, they want to break me
Moaning about
The sunlight they want to see
But I cannot let them out

Let the pain turn
In for the night
Let it burn
Brilliant light is their last sight

Why is the sun shining
When your away?
I'm not whining,
But shouldn't it be a rainy day?

I'll wait at the windowsill
Until I'm old and slumped
And if you don't return my heart will never heal
And if you know me at all, you'll know I never jumped

They can put you in the Earth
But I know you'll rise
Because there can't be worth
Without those lies

Sinking in deeper, drowning.
Smiles slip, glass falling from their fingers.
So much anger, but they're not even frowning...
So absurd that the smile almost lingers.

Flying is taking a fall
The wrong way
Losing it all
But wanting to stay

Crying out the tears
Is getting clean, taking a shower
It's having the power
To be seen, to overcome those fears

Louder. Louder. Louder!
Throw the blue glass
-the two that see-
Behind a curtain to
Listen. Listen... Listen

Please!
Fire burns inside me
Thinking of the crisp wind
Blowing stains of autumn
Patience.

Farewell.
Chipped white class
On a dark blue -black to me-
Tablecloth
Goodnight.

Blue eyes and purple lips
Drowning
Frozen in the ice, on display

Red nails and white tips
Burns tear through my face
Flames dance on my arms

Ice and Fire
Empty and desire
The prophet and the liar
