Here I lay,
Covered in hay
No game to play
No time to gain

I’m a story they say
With Some glory, hooray!
In an instant I’m prey
The cup taketh away

Do I despair in my day?
Or shall I weep for a ray?
Maybe clean up the clay
Or let the potter portray

A life with no sleigh
A chapter with grey
No sea, no bay
In no time I’m fey

But I’ll try, if I may
With a price, I’ll pay
Might I start today,
In a Rennesaince cafe!

You're an island
that housed beauty many shipments ago
For a drowning soul,
can only be saved by a rush of gold

Treasures of gold, lie hidden bestowed,
Beneath the crater of an old souls bowl

If my heart be the earth,
I'd look for peace
If my death sparked life,
I'd look to leave
And if life had meaning,
What could this be?

If my heart was round, I'd assume the earth fits this mold
Many moons ago it could dare lay low

Darkness fears the light
Like a kid in twilight 
Pondering on quiet times
Spent churning the street fights
If you search and search, eventually you'll get the answer

Why does sin linger at my porch
as if I know not what it brings...
Destruction has eyes of fury
in the eyes, it stares me down

My door swings open at the wind of malice
but shuts at the remorse of guilt
Ashamed of my roots, my being is questioned

do I deserve it?
No, How dare I...

I am not to feel as if I deserve, but to feel out of gratitude
to push on as if my breathe was to go a top everest
longing for the day of ever rest with my Father

I beg, do not scorch me
I am wanting to diverge,
Though my home has a porch of dirt that snaps at my ankle while I escape
my door shuts...

It's too late
evil has entered,

we are back at the start.

My cry is loud Lord
My wailing is a top the waves
I know you hear me, I know

Cruising around
convo to convo
One in sight
Two to crumble

Warmth in a tuck
Surely not luck
Affection explained
Like a knife that stuck

Ahead you go
Catch up's the game
Foot off the gas
"let me explain"

Exhausted by agony
Yet still we journey
Highway to love
Keep the engine furny

Elephant shoes
Recite your lips
More than just words
More of what fits

All has been penned
Love still remains
A rose that is red
Shall not be in vein.
Too my Girlfriend for Valentines day.
Our relationship so far.

Trapped in my dreams
With so much on my mind
I always wanted what I have
Though it feels I could reverse time

Endless laughs
Endless pain
So little sun
so much rain

Trapped in my world
Weirdness exist
Difference is canny
Future to mist

So little laughs
So much pain
Endless sun
Endless rain

Trapped in my thoughts
Cells rearranged
Depression creeping in
Loneliness explained

So much laughs
So little pain
In a perfect world
Things stay the same

If my heart was broken
How would I know?
See I thought things were ok
Until you expressed your views.
See I thought things could have changed
Until I got the news.

My imagination has been playing with me
Thinking we could be.
Oh how naive of you young lad.

If my heart was broken
How would I feel?
See I thought distance would bring us closer
It’s weird though because I feel closer
I don’t know if I supposed to
See I picture a future with you in it
I get the feeling you see a picture
But I probably couldn’t fit in it

If my heart was broken
How would I know?
I probably would know
I mean it’s not broken
But I feel it tearing
I feel like we could all relate
