I'm not good with words,
All I do is try
I'm stuck with my feelings,
Can't seem to get them out
My head is in a never-ending fight
I'm tripping over what I got
Pulling the rope from both sides,
I hope I don't lose it while
I still got you
I know I don't own you
And you don't own me.

You're all I can see
All I want to know,
A living masterpiece
A sight to behold.
My priceless lover,
Will you be forever?

You're my treasure,
Head to toe
Sweetest thing the world has known
Each moment is a diamond with you
Let's run away without no shoes
And as the water reflects our holding hands,
As the breeze and night light washes us clean
I'll let you know, my only one, my one gem
You're the one I'm here for, no one else.

Hear the candle popping as it's burning
Slightest glow on the kitchen table
Tired faces lit with sorrow circle the room
Then the shared pains follow
A room with memories left behind
Empty looks watching an empty house
Once every full moon
We share each other's light
But that's all just in my mind

Photobook of moments
Burned into our conscience
We speak without words
Our looks say more than enough
We know when it's been raining on us for a bit too long
And we keep company when it's hard to hold on
If we got the chance wouldn't choose anyone else
We both feel the storm just the same
But i don't know how that works
It's all just in my head

Wondering what it's like
Always with family
A word that's hard to define
Brings so much joy or pain
A sweet relief you won't escape
Or burning hell you wish to erase?
When it's just you
You don't know what to know
Is it really destiny
Is that really family?

I'm running out of love
Have never had enough
One day when I'm done,
I hope what I have done
I did it out of love.

Your smile melts my heart like caramel
Your plush lips like an antidote, all I ever wanna know.
Your eyes like dark crystal mirrors tell me your every move
When I hold you we melt into one, sweet like caramel

Years from now,
In a coffee shop downtown
Millions of miles between
Where I can't be seen

What I showed to the world before,
That wasn't true; I don't want it anymore
Why did my colors only get more blue,
When others get the whole rainbow.

So this is the night I let go
I'm okay for today, that's all I know
And I'll float this little red balloon to show
I'm not drowning anymore

It's sad to think,
The things that could've been
And the sights I could've seen
If this journey went a different way
Where would I have gone if I had
Taken a different train?

When you think you get the least you get the most
You have more than you could ever know
I know what you think you need right now is nowhere to be found
But have you thought you don't need it just yet, how does that sound?

The light I never had
Turned into flames
When shades of crimson
Painted the way.

And just for that second
For the blink of an eye
I felt love and it was only mine
Didn't think that I'd be better off
Being whoever and showing it off
I just thought the wind is nice
The way it clinged to my hair
And the grass beneath my feet
Gave me way, filled me with fresh air

It's easy to see only what you want
When the ugliest things are hidden
Too normal till you forget what you got
When they make you wish for what you had
And the clock keeps digging it's claws
To think you're in a rush and never enough,
Only to realize wherever you're running
Is not where you wanna get. Besides, the flaws
Like golden butterflies, shine and get carried away

Blood on my fangs, I once saw as glitter
Rose-tinted world drowned in a hopeless filter
Crushed from the soul, heart-wrenched, lifelessly searching
No more hope where fragile seeds have been stomped
While time's sharp fangs can't seem to be stopped

As my mind is catching fire
Mentally sick, endless haywire
Too much to say, but no air escapes my lungs
No words to express what's become my world
Heavy clouds tinted undescribable shades
And ground overgrown, within it hidden venomous snakes

Shattered glass obscuring my vision, I won't look back
Infinitely dark, my face smothered in vantablack
But just then a light showed me a glimpse
A shooting star told me it's my turn to make a wish

A wish so grand it makes the ground rattle and
If it lights up a world just a little brighter than it is now
I won't turn back into the darkness I came from, a heartfelt vow
But it's just me, in reality
My entirety soaked in liberating rain and vitality
Where I wish upon a star that falls just to stop sparkling
Faster than self-made chains leave you in soliloquy, blood on your hands, burdening
