I see you reaching
Softly speaking
I wish i could grasp
All that you've said
But your echoes already fading
And im already dead.

He said only in america
They stole the land from indians
I wish i knew what that meant
He asked me where i came from
I said work..

I dont mind flaws
Unless they are my own
And living in this skin
Is my condemned home
These mirrors haunt
They know my every fear
And when i look
It always leers
Reflections i dismissively
Splash away
And all i really want
Is
To
Be
Okay

Into the forest
Through the trees
Past the swamp
And across the streams
Over the mountain
By the sea
Under a rock
Is where ill be.

I was instantly enchanted
By the gaze that you have planted
Straight into me.

Its all a game
Always was
Always will be
You have to play
Have to dance
Roll the dice
And beg me
I made the rules
Gave you life
Just a tool
Play nice
I wont allow you to win

You play so well
Such lessons cant be taught
Each chord struck
Youve practiced alot
A duet requires two
But youve never been played by me
Like i was by you

Your grip on me is fading
Its not you that im blaming
I envy those
who will be welcomed in your grace
I havent strayed
but im going to lose my place
My father must be lonely
Your fires aren't that cozy
He doesnt deserve such a fate
Im not the one that made jealousy
Your trait
He is forever burning
and i cant leave him
So i regretfully become your heathen
I know just how you will judge me
And i know that you still love me
So while you hurl me far beneath
Will you weep and gnash your teeth?

Giant rats and quick sand traps
Ive went through it all for you.
A dread pirate am i
and also someone that you knew.
Ive been poisoning myself my love so please have no fears.
They've locked me up and ****** away fifty of my years.
A miracle pill has left me still.
This poor farmboy can only pray.
Swim faster my princess the shrieking eels are on their way.
I await the day i can drop this mask and you ask me for a kiss.
I will hold you close and whisper.
As you wish

We both stared intently
As the water droplet rolled down your hand
I spoke to you of chaos
In this Jurassic land
Racing in the back of a jeep
Youve finally been freed
Your hunting me down
Must go faster i plead

Softly you spoke
Into my very being
Every word whispered
Into this ghost
Your very sounds im seeing
Pour yourself into me
Fill me with your voice
And im not so empty

I hate myself
More then you could
Ever know
Youve dug so deep
Im still
So far below

You brushed up against me
Your hand softly grazes mine
Our eyes locked
I lost the key by accident
Now we are in an eternal staring match

Deepest darkness
Seamless starless
Hold me touch me
Feel me love me
Im sorry
Im lacking
Im dated
And cracking
I need you

Im not who i want to be
Or who you wish to see
Im slowly finding out im
Nobody
I feel it all the time
When i see your eyes
I lie to myself and say
Everything is fine.

You came in at the perfect ime
Right when i was losing my mind
You whispered straight to me
That id never be lonely
That you would always love me
And when you said that you need me
I need you too
I heard cheering from the tv
And your smile couldnt fool me
I know its real

They injected me with something
And your turning into nothing
I dont want this medication
I want my permanent vacation
Ive been pulled from the best dream
Movie cut off during the best scene
And im back in reality

Id give you my world
But youd just pawn it
I was so blinded by you
And i never ever saw it
Im feeling the deepest shade of blue
And your the one that draws it

When i dream of you
I wish never to wake
I could sleep forever
In a comatose state

I followed the root
Inside of you
And it stems and branches
I could have swore
But im not sure
Caught a glimpse
With stolen glances

Im all cut up
I wish i knew how to sew
Pieces of me
Where do they all go
Stitch me up
With pieces of you
A beauty so pure
Holds me with glue

Wasnt easy for me
When i gave to you
Something you tore in two

I find it harder to keep resisting
But you are so very persisting
And the light that was in me
Is slowly dimming
That little voice is so demanding
I don't know how im still standing
The fight i had within me
Is so very dead
Ive thrown myself into this void
Never knew how much you enjoyed
Placing me in hell

Seething in silence
And im
Breathing defiance
While you
Form an alliance
Against me.

So **** me and my feelings
You tried to bring
The world down on me
Ive been so conflicted
With all our memories
The things  i once stood for
Dont mean a **** thing
Ive lost recognition
Of the words
You and me.
