To rationalize
I abstain
To imagine
Can drive one insane
And so from passion
I shall refrain
As I head to
The voting booth
...

I dreamt about true love so deep I cried
So beautiful and unattainable, still I tried
I tried to hold on as long as I could
Yet my words are so often misunderstood...

If I could somehow confess
My heart is fine I guess
The more or less I care
The scars will always be there
There's no anger in my emotions
   Perhaps I lack devotion
I've no mind for revenge
To keep me stumbling within
...

Doubt becomes apparent to the intellect
Time becomes linear mingled with despair
A mathematical description of our universe
Such a lack of comfort for anyone to bear...

No silver lining in the purity of knowledge
No true magic in the music of the spheres
No supernatural state awaits our arrival
There's no perfect day without you here...

The more I search the deeper my groan
There's no turning away from the light that's shone
The wider the span the less my life means
I feel as if I awoke from a beautiful dream...

If you ever catch
What mine eyes see
Stand there
Don't say a word
Don't scream
Don't stare too long
And don't believe at all
Just cast it off
Don't build a wall
Or separate
And please
   Don't leave...

Be it lions and tigers
Or sharks and whales
There's no way around
This trip through hell

So lock and load
Your heart and soul
Take your aim
And let love flow

In this life
You can never win
If you don't get out there
   And try again...

When I realized
The undoing of our ways
Blue turned black
And bled upon the page
Still my arrows
Are pointless words
Far beyond decisions
Of no return..
