In the watercolor painting you made out to me,
Crashing into a beautiful sunset,
I won't ever let the sun go down on me.

The brushes in your hand are flawed,
But your painting were always divine,
Teach me again, my dear, how to paint a cloudy day.

In the storm you created in yourself,
You gave me a weathered key,
I realized that the rain was gone,
I'm gonna stay alive,
And I think that it's right that I say it now.

The brushes in your hand are flawed,
But your paintings were always divine,
Teach me again, my dear, how to paint a cloudy day.

Ukulele wither by the rays,
Pens litter the ground under my feet,
I'll take this as a sign write another song,
For you.

Title me, your poem,
I'll tell you who you are and who you were,
I'll tell you all the people who live and die,
I'll tell you about your strengths and weaknesses,
Title me, your poem,
I'll describe your eyes,
I'll describe your mind,
I'll describe your hands and the way they move across the words.
Title me, your love, your creation.

Down the hall,
Through the home,
Round the corner,
Slip and skid,
I'm a ******,
And a sinner,
Bump and burn,
Up the stairs,
Climb the walls,
Scratch the door,
Glide and grind,
I'm a chump,
Watch me dump,
All my friends,
Away, away,
Into the trash.

Six fingers, six toes,
Three eyes, no ears,
Tonight, we'll fly,
From here, to Clear.

Under my tongue,
Growing thorns,
Too many teeth,
Poking my sores.

I can't believe,
You're with me,
I'm bewildered,
Stay with me.

Believer takes his hat and coat,
Walks out of his room,
Into a misty gloom where shadows warp his irises,
And he falls and falls straight into heaven.

Disbeliever steals a rock from the underground cave,
Ties it to his ankle never floats away,
Blasphemy is and will always be his life,
Every night the disbeliever sat near his bed,
Praying to Believer above,
When it never came he took the name,
Coward.

Believer took pity and asked heaven for an angel,
The angel couldn't do much but mourn with Coward,
As his disbelief kept his sight blinded,
And he was content, by god he never wanted to let go.

Plants grew into Coward's room,
His frame growing frail and tired,
Years of fighting and giving up drained his veins,
Finally, an ounce of death brought a clearing in his vision,
Coward saw his angel and shot it not once, not twice, but thrice,
Once for the son, second for the father, the third for the holy spirit.

Believer took this as a sign,
That he was fearful of something controlling his life,
Coward needed to control and stabilize himself his way,
No angels over his shoulder,
No rules to abide by,
Whether it was real or not,
It was Coward who needed to learn to heal himself.

Coward shot himself once more and bandaged his wound with care,
Taking his blood with him,
He inspected it's contents,
Wondering what was inside that cursed and plagued his life,
He found that it was all himself and things he told himself,
To a shock and a conclusion of misery,
Coward knew that once he got off of his ride,
He'd have to drain his blood and purify it,
It took every ounce of sadness and courage,
But it worked. Oh god it worked.

Tire tracks in my legs,
Dented them and bent them,
Back to the road I go,
I'm so happy,
I'm so happy.

Dear, ghostz,
Don't be sad now,
I'm kinda okay but I'll haunt you,
You won't be lonely any longer,
Not as long as I'm hanging out.

Headphones on my ears,
Danced to them and vented them,
This beat won't let me go,
I'm so happy,
I'm so happy.

Dipping into melted snow,
I'm calming down after a storm,
Untangling the wires around my body,
There comes a day when I'll understand what it means to have purpose,
But for now...

Fire licking at my heart,
Shaping and changing it's rhythm,
Making me sprint away,
I'm so happy,
I'm so happy.

There's skeletons in our closets,
Bones and skulls we never put to rest,
Creatures and people we massacred,
Won't tell anyone cause nobody cares like we do,
We don't fear anything but our own heads,
The things we've seen but forgotten,
Erode away the closet doors,
Guts come spilling way,
Revealing hidden passageways,
To something better that we've hid from ourselves,
Why we hid it just goes to show,
That we thrive under pressure,
Under our own filth and crimson,
In the little passageway,
The darkness was overwhelming,
To me but maybe not to you,
We stared at each other,
Doubting intentions and sudden emotions.

I was a gaslight ready to extinguish,
You were a creature of fire ready to burn up,
The only thing on my mind was a fateful night alone,
I couldn't tell what was on yours and needed to know more,
You lured me out of the shredded heads and limbs,
I was concerned with cleaning my closet,
My mother warned me over and over again,
You were concerned with everybody and not yourself,
We walked through no-mans-land for quite a while,
In between ourselves and everybody else,
We regretted the idea of emotions,
But I gave into a landslide of blood turned sand.

Where it started baffles me,
We hurt ourselves so much but work so well,
We broke into what life can really look like,
We're slowly healing and learning,
And that's the most important part.
