It belongs to those I love.
I'd end it sometimes but I
would never hurt them.
Loss might drive them
to despair and dominoes
would fall on and on.
Alone here with the girl in the mirror
I can’t help but have a growing fear
She’s familiar, though neither of us know
What are the truths and what are the lies
I feel I can’t trust anything through her eyes
I couldn’t even tell you which is the real deal
Which way is the truth, behind the mirror
I have loved the moon too fondly
To ever be fearful of the night
And I mustn’t forget this
The stars shining so bright

The tide rolls in and out
I can feel it in my heart

I could get forever lost
Inside the moon’s touch
As it’s controlling my being
For it I’m truly always fiending

The tide rolls in and out
I can feel it in my heart

Come with me and play
Let go of your mind’s decay
I am so fond of the moon
That the night leaves so soon

The tide rolls in and out
I can feel it in my heart

The tide rolls in and out
I can feel it in my heart
Free from doubt
Free from insecurity
Like your love
Like handcuffs
Holding down my spirit
Free from you
Free from me
And my demons
Like the untamed
Like the crashing waves
Free from society
Her eyes are all dry
From crying inside
Battling the thoughts
Of becoming distraught
Love became a mirage
As he became a facade
Now she sits in silence
As calm as a statue
Her emotions are drained
There’s nothing to say
It’s that time of night again
All alone with my feelings
In the cold bed, inside my head
I get so lost inside of there
It’s hard to bare, in a gaze I stare

Yes, it’s time to let loose
Take the mask off and try to cry
But my eyes are finally too dry
Since this is my reality every night
A prisoner in my mind, no escape to find

It’s that time of night now
All alone to let myself out
The smile fades away
The demons come out to play
It’s so hard to go through what I do

Yes, it is lonely but necessary
The true me must stay buried
In the dark corners of my mind
I need to shine a flashlight, since I’m
A prisoner in my brain, such a shame

Both can ****
        The only difference is
                      Cigarettes shatter lungs
         She shatters everything

            I remembered the first moment
my lips pressed the filter
     as I lit it up breathed it all
                savored every smoke
       as if we covered up painful lies
        in a container of painkillers

The same way  
we used to pressed our lips
     sparked something between us
           savored every moment we had
    as if our love was a rose
               in a valley of tulips

I feel so cold
And my skin and bones
Feel like they're frozen
And my body begins to shut down
To shut down.

My eyes are closed
My ears are blocked
I don't know what's going on
It doesn't feel like I can make it on my own.

I need
Someone
To set me free
Because I
Can't
Do it on my own.
