call me and ask me to go on a wild last minute adventure at 11 pm
whisk me up in your strong arms and hold me tight while we go through this together
chase me through the forest with headlamps and laughter guiding our way
burn down our painful past an walk across the coals to me
just be with me and let me be with you

So tell me are you screaming out if frustration in your head when I look at you
Do your hands get shaky when my emerald eyes cross over yours
Does your skin feel like a star reached down a kissed it after I grab your arm
Do you loose all ability to look me in the eyes because you might never be able to tear yourself away
Or is it just me?

my mouth is wrapped in the tape of social conduct
my hands cuffed in handbooks and rules

I'm standing on this balcony teetering on social suicide and endless solitude
Running away into my pen and paper because it's the only one who can listen

Numbers and phrases you paste on my forehead like a bandaid, your words hold weight but not to the strongmen
Im on my hands and knees screaming myself raw and the clueless raise a glass and tell another joke

The castle I've built in your arms is tumbling down I'm under siege from my allies
It's a slow death being inches from your legacy and thousands of miles away in your sacred heart

Thunder has never sounded more intimidating when it's your identity being clapped into my skull

I'm swallowing blood spilled from the screams that've torn down my throat and into my shaking hands

Your dotted line is written in lights burning into my serene lids reaching my deepest rests

Carving question marks into my flesh to ask when I have no words to throw into the seemingly endless void

I'm sprinting towards the isles of my future with only hope to illuminate the path I hope lies before me

My fingers are numb from grasping at these straws I can't seem to reach I can't even hold them long enough to have them slip away

I've got an aching soul to match my throat for I've been screaming your name endlessly into the void

Blisters adorn the feet I've been chasing after you on hoping you'll turn around someday

Lungs burning for each time you look at me I can't catch my breath and it feels like the oxygen was ****** from the room

Fire is burning across my cheecks when I see your eyes dance across my face

Give me a pocket dictionary becasue I can't seem to find the words on my own

        *a.l.n

When the world is asleep my body can't lay and join with the rest of them in dark peace and pricy duvets

The thought of your body tangled empty handed in your faded sheets makes my fingers itch for you

My head is screaming your name I swear you could hear it I'm worried I might start saying it aloud one day

It's getting late and I'm getting lonely or maybe I've been like this as long as I can remember

When the world is falling asleep I feel my soul waking up and everything is different when I'm the only one who sees it

my wet hair is slicked across my shoulders

it's liquid in the wind flipping out the car window in an unkown city

my eyes are bloodshot and burning like acid from my mistakes

the emerald of my eyes catches the light of a hundred moons

my body lies in twisted sheets and stained pajamas in a tiny bed

but my heart lies in another world where my adventure know no bounds

*a.l.n.
