Our time is up and we're packing it away,
The life we built, the life we shared
Stowed in boxes by the end of today.

I know I'll still see you, but it's not the same,
Your arms won't be around me anymore,
Your kisses can't dull this kind of pain.

This ring says together while miles say apart,
How can we live separately even now
When you're so close to my heart.

It's only a year you say, only a small time,
But it feels so much like forever to me,
Forever til you'll again be mine.

Our boxes in the same city, our hearts too,
Our life to be severed by ownership,
But I don't want any of this, I want you.

Red tights,
Flowing cape,
The city is calling,
It's not too late.

Spandex briefs,
Form fitting suit,
Humans are appalling,
****, ****, Loot.

Well defined muscles,
Girly boots,
The Joker and Penguin
Are in cahoots.

Carefully coiffed hair,
Gigantic chin,
Perched about the town,
Waiting for crime to begin.

Invisible car,
Cool technical gadgets,
Oh! He got away!
Curses! Almost had him.

A steel man,
The speeding bullet,
My weakness is this string...
Please don't pull it....

He paints the sky in diamonds
And paves his ground in money,
His light is made of gold,
His disposition always sunny.

He floods the sea in silver,
Dots the flowers in pearls,
His eyes are brilliant sapphire,
They see the entire world.

He looks past the dusted coal,
His life is made of rubies,
Around him people are rusted,
But he is made with beauty.

With your feet in the stars
And your head on the ground,
You've forgotten who you are,
Your shoes planted firmly in the clouds.
Cloud nine has fallen
And crashed into the sea,
Denial is calling,
Forget what it's like to be free.
Your business suit is pressed,
Your shoes spit shined,
Your home life is a mess,
You've forgotten what you've left behind.
Your childhood dreams collect dust
On a shelf in your memory,
Your ability to love, to trust
Has become the enemy.
Stars are burning red
And crashing to the ground,
Surrounding your buried head
And breaking apart your cloud.
The boxes packed away,
All knocked off the shelves.
Memories tattered and frayed,
Along with your sense of self.
Fragile wishes to bring peace,
And brittle desires to be hero,
You followed along with the siege,
You are nothing, a zero.
You push your head to the clouds,
Feet planted somewhere below,
The stars fly up safe and sound,
If they had really fallen, only you know.
The wishes you've ignored
The dreams you through away,
Scattered across your heart,
The illusion ends today.

A creature among humanity,
Precious child of the sky,
Born with a head full of stars
And bones aching to fly.
Singing a symphony of words,
A language unknown,
Sweet melodies of love and peace,
Of growing up alone.
You live in the Milky Way
With a house made of light,
The shine penetrated darkness,
Only to be seen at night.
Traveler of universes
With a galaxy playground.
Your words darted through space
Until you were found.
They screamed monster
And locked your songs away,
In a wide open cage
You were never saved.
A stranger to humanity,
Your end waited to begin,
You sang a melody of love
And they called you Alien.

Make haste,
No time to waste.
Your lips drip honey,
My head feels funny.
Slow down,
Before we drown.
Your eyes are grinning,
The whole room spinning.
Pause,
Covered in gauze.
How'd I get like this?
Bleeding, covered in ****.
Make haste again,
Before I explode in.
Wading in the sea,
Is that really me?
Fade away,
Time to pray,
Floating out on a cloud,
Momma did I make you proud?

My branches are crumbled,
Fickle and thin.
My air losing volume,
Unraveling oxygen.
My creativity shatters,
Crushed and abused.
My mind is a wanderer,
Dazed but unconfused.
My art is losing meaning,
Withering paint.
My religion losing passion,
A twisted saint.
My being caving in,
Lost, chagrin.
I'm not who I was,
The artist within.
