I miss the way you touch your hair.
I miss the way you held my stare.
I miss the way you speak to me,
Like there's nowhere in the world you'd rather be.
I miss the way you look at me,
Like I'm giving you something no one else can see.
I miss the way you made me feel,
Like your arms were made of silk and steel.
You're the boy who made my heart skip a beat.
You're the man who got me back on my feet.
But now I've got nowhere to go.
No one to tell me all the things you know.
I want you back because you are everything I lack.

It seems as though every minute is a life changing moment.
One second, everything's ok; it's just an off day.
The next, there is death in the air.
I wish I could hold you forever,
Protect you from all the things you feared.
But instead, I felt your heart quit its beat.
I can't believe I still have tears left to cry.
I can't believe that I haven't shriveled up and died.
You're still floating in the air; in my clothes; you're everywhere.
My guardian angel, you were there.
You loved me, you cared.
You showed up when I need help, you had a halo
Now I've grown, so it's time for you to go home.

Your green eyes light up the night in my dark room.
And in the shadows I can see you blink slowly to say:
"I love you. I'll keep you safe."
With your head on my shoulder,
My shuddering body calms, and the sobs subside
I can feel my tears drying as a striped tail keeps time.
Your growling cries fend off every intruding demon
And you ward off the devils in my brain.
I run my hand over your soft head and I'm no longer afraid.
You're the thief turned hero
The story of my success
You're the criminal at my rescue
You're the Bandit who stole my heart for safe keeping.

Cut into her skin to see what she’s made of

    Her bones shake with noise

    Her heart beats a rhythm

    Her blood flows to a melody that escapes

        with every slice of her vein

Though they say she’s beautiful

They don’t see the scars of battle

    There is no peacetime in this war.

She’s tired.

They say “keep fighting”

    but they don’t know

        that she gave up long ago

You see, there is a monster that can’t be killed.

It will win in the end

No matter how much she puts in.

This is no fight.

It is a bloodbath

    There is no coming back.

Capsules unload down her throat and her eyes close

She’s tired.

She swallows the poison with no hesitation

    and lays on her bed

        whiskey by her head.

She never knew the appeal of the drink

    but figured it would do the trick.

All she ever wanted in life was the sleep when she was sick.

They told her she was born with illness in her mind

    and too much compassion.

They said she should look out for herself

    so she looked into her heart

She saw the exhaustion and knew what to do.

She fell asleep and will never come to.

All this deceiving is getting far too easy
All my white lies are stacking up like spies
Who can I trust in this world of lust?
Who listen as if it's a given

So go talk to a wall, get hugs from a waterfall
Here it all goes down the drain and you will be ok
Just kick up the floor, it's doesn't matter anymore
You are the boss of it here, and I will lend you my ear

Just listen for my sign, we be alright
Together we can and will fight
We will win before the night
We all know what it's like to not need anyone
But I bet you need me now and I'll be there somehow

Just listen to the clock because time knows best
Find your clock and don't let it stop
