There's a breaking in the dawn,
that glistens off a blade of grass.
There's a sparkle you can't see,
A little speckle that flies and exiles dark.
Twinkling somewhere inside of me,
A shaded area becoming free.
The pitch black down a long hallway,
Still dances with the glitter on the walls.
The empty air that flows through this portal,
Holds an illuminating spirit,
flying high.
To any naked eye I'm extint, but
There's still a light inside of me.

Maybe, I was quick to judge you,
Casted blame from me onto you.
You did the best you could do,
With all you had and knew.
I Wish I hadn't been so ******* you,
Because...
The Sun went down on a Tuesday,
And the shifting days turned into lost memories.
Black and white images of things. that could have been.
Now dance in the galaxy,
A different reality, a vision of what could have been.
They're floating free and far beyond us.
If only I'd known,
The Sun would go down on a Tuesday.

So many stories you told
I held and believed.
You saved me from so many things,
You taught me love and trust.
I am good, we are all good, because of you.
I wish I hadn't been so ******* you,
Because...
The sun went down on a Tuesday
And the hours wrapped you in their arms.
Gripped you tight and carried into God's light.
So much silence is left in this life.
If only I'd known,
The Sun would go down a Tuesday.

So long ago, I left my hopes,
floating amongst the Gods.
"So long!" I waved to the clouds,
closing in on the setting sun.
Orange and vibrant; Red and angry.
Broken dreams worth millions,
Flying scared in the Vermillion Sky.

The Season's changed, without relief, and God never intervened.
"Why?", I asked, so many times!
Praying into that striking, clear, white, light,
But still...no answer.

Not once, not twice, but countless times, I walked alone on the edge of a red line.
Wondering if it was my soul's delight, or simply my inner fears afraid to be found.
I balanced my weight for far too long,
I felt odd and out of place.
I knew it was time for me to let go.
Still, I left my oars resting in the sand, along side the landing craft.
The one  I beached long ago.
I waited and waited, for so long, almost an eternity.
Everything had changed, except for my view of the Vermilion Sky.

What if I prayed.
What if I got down on my knees and said my grace.
Would it even matter anyway.
Would I even know exactly what to say.

What I sang.
What if I belted every note to see God's face.
Would it even matter anway?
Would he even hear my echoes taking place.

Because I don't believe in love.
I lost touch from up above.
I don't believe in anything anymore.

I'm going down, round
and round
Spiraling down,
I'm going down, down, down, down,
Downward spiral.

Paperdoll
You're the secret I hide,
In the back of my closet.
A shoe box on a dusty shelf,
Filled with memories untold.
A tree hanging on a rack,
Crumpling for me to come back.
Paperdoll
Cut out in college rule,
We dance amongst the shadows.
Swirl and twirl in magical lights,
That shine and bring you to life.
Your exterior is bent and wrinkled,
Beneath our star that twinkles.
Paperdoll
We tip toe around the past,
Hoping all is safe and true.
You'll scatter in the sunrise,
With no evidence love or trust.
Only the sound of ripping in my ear,
A cruel reality you're not here.
