Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
Leaving the blacks and whites and the grey
To a garden, blue and red and violet,
Where I should hope to stay

Escaping the calls of death
In melodies of flying birds
Who lend me breath

Wandering in a fantasy
Of fog, blue and red and violet,
When I can't bear to see
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
This is not our fight
Take me on your arm
Let's dance by Night
Let's forget about the hurt and the harm

Darling come with me
Leave behind that growing sea
Come ride with me on the stars
Ignore those old battle scars

We were shrouded
By the clouds
And you placed on my lips, a sudden kiss
It was our last taste of bliss
Before you left me for War
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
Your hands are broken
And your heart is sparking at your feet
You won't leave 'till you've spoken
And your fists will pound 'till we're beat

You're a liar
Make the smoke swirl and spin
And call it magic so they'll fly higher
Into the moments that have been

Your hands are broken
And you're a pillar of flame
You won't leave 'till you've spoken
And suffocated the world with shame

You're a seamstress
Snatching up old sins
That aren't yours to confess,
Secrets you'd bled from beneath my skin
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
Moving down the lane
Straining my brain
Someone is screaming not to move
But I've got something to prove

Stamping my feet
Grinding my heels
Somehow I'll get down this street
Even if I give into the devil's deals
Even if my hand never heals
No matter how awful it feels

Stopping at the red light
Promising I'll move before the night
It's all I can do
If I ever wan't to reach you
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
Can I lose
What I never had?
Can I win what I choose
And still be mad?

Thorns pricking me
Blood will fall away,
Like love that exceeds the depth of the sea
And still refuses to stay

Can I steal
Their wandering eyes?
Can I feel
And never be the one that cries?

Thorns pricking me
Blood will fall away,
Like love that is free
And so, refuses to stay
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
Dawn is coming so open your eyes
To the only gold that won't feed you lies

Dawn is coming so spread your arms
To the only love that does no harm

Dawn is coming so bloom
For the only one who's watching you,
In the only day untouched by gloom
Hi It's Haliyah Jan 2015
I lost the song
That circled my head.
It feels so wrong
Could it all be dead?

I forgot my muse.
I put out my fire,
But is it really something I could lose?
Do these things expire?

You failed me,
Once, twice, perhaps for infinity.
Is there something that I didn't see?
Is there another key?
