Screams echo deep in the dark night
But shivering hearts freeze from fright

The time has come for words pronounced
Bitterness melts the frostbitten hate announced

Souls do bond when the winter quells
Shooting stars among the Gods fell
I wrote this in the back of my friend's car on a random trip to chipotle tonight.
Twist the red into a kiss
From the one you truly miss
Turn the red into the song
Your mother sings when you are wrong
Let the red become the talk of the town
Because no one sees you drown
Slide the black into the words
Realizing your choice is absurd
The purple sky holds the answer for you
Swirl it right, and your life will not skew
But by the time you see the truth
You'll have fallen far from this sturdy roof
Perhaps it's the darkness creeping up
Or the hollowness echoing within
But your words melt before me
And expose your many sins

I can't believe it has come to this
A point of no return
But how do I ignore the pain
And heal where you burn

Within my hallowed maze you walked
Carving your initials all along the walls
You left no place safe for me
Within my own dreary halls
Break these bones of sorrow and regret
A skeleton of secrets and demons
Holding me together is the fabric of the lies
The lies I told to hold you back from this pain
Each fragmented word sinking deeper
Colder than cold shivers trace down my spine
I built this world of magic to protect the world
Sealing the darkness inside for the greater good
But now that I stand atop my lonely mountain
Am I even the same man that chased such dreams?
Dedicated to the friend of my innocence - C. B.
I wish I could get through to you
I really truly wish
I wish that moon would reflect in your eyes one more time
I wish a lot of things
For money & fortune & fame
I wish cancer wasn't real
I wish I didn't always have to be right
But the wish I wish more than any wish I wish
Oh what a wish it is too
For my world will be as empty as these wishes without you beside me to see them come true
Anger flows every way
Through my soul and in my brain it stays
I tried my best to simply obey
Attempted to drown you out with Parrot Bay

"I miss you"s falling from my lips
Stinging all along my hips
Bruises on my heart from your tight grip
Sanity and hope begin to slip
I just am suddenly super not okay with how this frickin happened
