Cracking open my eyes with daybreak warnings
I only have the best of intentions in the mornings
Trying so hard to keep my calm
Why do you always start wars at dawn?

The ceiling is falling all around me
You shoot bullets with such ease
In horror I search your face
But the one I love leaves not a trace

Now I'm alone on my island of sheets
You always leave after you have me beat
And here I am left questioning
The best intentions
The best intentions

get ready for the free fall
because here is where I let go
of it all

these ghosts who torment me
will be dormant
finally

I had my hand outstretched to you
with out a clue
until you almost pulled me through

now I look in the face of a stranger
as you hang here
Im devoid of fear

my fingers slip
losing grip
you dont resist

I watch as you disappear
the lies so crystal clear
shatter now that you're not near

tracing silver shadows
with midnight shrouded eyes
a sigh graces my shoulder
while fingers seek out my own

heartbeats whisper between covers
as lungs rise together as one
my lips trail kisses across the desert
before finding their way home

your eyes like liquid glass
pin the gasp within my chest
as my hand finds your face
I surrender to your gravity

For just one night
Can we pretend that nothings set to fire
I know we hold the secrets of the city
But I've got to come clean
Its breaking me

Your eyes hold questions
Begging words you dare not speak
And I am held hostage
Where hearts and vices meet
Your presence weighs so heavy
I don't think I was ready
To **** Shakespeare tonight
Still you dance by fire light

You wrote me a symphony
And the notes brought about an epiphany
Its breaking me
Reality is shaking me
But your eyes capture the fire
When you whisper I won't make you a liar
For just one night
No darling, not tonight

under a spell
as though my very nerves
were captivated
by something so wrong
something so unwell
I shudder in the doorway
of an epiphany
but denial
calls so much louder
all these question marks
etched in my skin
my very being
I know nothing
I know absolutely nothing
of who I am
or who I should be
or what this world
really means
and I draw shuddered breaths
to awaken sheltered eyes
these dreams are
lying to me
I dont want to lie anymore
get up
get up
get up

Stumble forward again

Slowly fading blue from red

With lips that flatter copper tones

And a tongue that trades sticks for stones



A crack is subtly etched in time

Throwing everything out of line

A perpetual skip in the beat of life

Skeletons tangled up in my sheets tonight



There's an echo within this quiet

But my mind can not decode it

A lingering whisper

Too cryptic to decipher

Hinting rapture for us all

She's taunting me
Search the house
Inexplicably freezing
I know I feel her ghost
         Irreversible torture
         Facing her once more
         I fear what's left before me
         May be my only resort
She's got me by the throat
I can't choke out a scream
Her eyes pierce my own
Until I finally know what this means
         I'm gonna have her forever
         As faithful as my shadow
           Now I'm left counting days
             Until she calls me back home
Deep below
                         Down, down I go
