Song bird
I ask for nothing more
Than that if you sing
You sing for me
A sweet lullaby
To help me sleep
Song bird
Your feathers may be torn
And you can hardly fly
But the notes you reach
Still reach me
I'll never leave your nest
Song bird
I am but a crow
With blackness in my soul
But I feel alright
Within your gentle melody
I feel your light
Song bird
I hope that you don't mind
If I sing along
All out of tune
I find hope inside your song
A place where I belong

Song bird
Would you sing a song
About love
Because thats all I'm thinking of
Ill be your greatest audience
You'll be my peace of mind
Song bird
There is nothing more beautiful in the world
Three o'clock in the morning, and the birds are singing. Keeping, or helping, me stay awake. I find beauty in their songs, and of course all kinds of symbolic meaning. I was made to see the world for all its beauty, I was made to feel. I was born to be the king

I simply write you in my dreams
Where a word you said becomes a child
Whose hand I hold
And we walk together into the sun

I let this image of you linger long
In the crevices of my mind
That have never been touched before
Until you found them

I follow the feelings you give me
I see clouds and glass and moons and rain
As something more divine
I become a part of everything

I throw my spirit at a wall
Because you're on the otherside
And I would give my life
If only to reach you

I allow myself to fall
Because your falling
And if you're crawling on the ground
I don't want you to crawl alone

I learn how to touch again
But this time without hands and bodies
This time I use my words
To touch your mind

I do everything
And give everything
And become everything
Because of you

I'll cry a little dream for you
And wish on stars that can't escape black holes  
I'll love the way you fall
As I light a candle just to put it out
I'll see you in strangers on the street
As my mind hallucinates
I'll burn my crooked fingers
Trying only to hold misguided fire
I'll take ***-shots at the moon
Trying to **** it
And then I'll blame myself
When its there again tomorrow night
I'll see all the beauty
And feel its not meant for me
I'll feel all the pain
Of the thousand men who loved you before
I'll look at my skin
And only see marks you've left on me
I'll be selfish
When I don't deserve a thing
                         I'll start to see
                         It was never about me anyways
                         Feeding all my love to a void
                         Just trying to feel
                         Like it could be

I step onto sand
And throw it into water
A single book of matches
I throw it into fire

Surrounded by squares
No feeling
No falling
In the mirror where I saw your face
I said your name
Three times

I step into the past
And throw it into a different story
A single ray of hope
I throw a song onto the wind

Surrounded by squares
I'm hiding
I'm holding
In the mirror where you saw my face
You said my name
Three times

I
cannot help
the hands
that touch me
when they
could heal me
I know
its a distant
language
written
on my soul
I wasn't
made
to
understand
but she reads me
and I feel
her
more than
     Anything.....
                               My greatest wish
                               I couldn't say
                              is by her
                              spoken
                        ­        my greatest hope
                              is only
                              that I could
                             hold her
                            forever
                               that we'll make love
                              while we're
                             still
                             young

Love
Just like eyes
A world away in the stars
Words in the sky
Hearts in the night
This life is a moment
A way to remember
I know the sea
I say the moon
I have sun hands
Maybe waves of light

Things fall in the ocean
Rain falls on the lost

Comes a small day
People feel blue skies forever
Time took a left
I touch a mind
I hear summer air
I think about a girl
Who looked to be breaking
But when the earth is gone
She'll finally whisper

"Despite the pain
My soul walks in dreams"
The more I read it, the more I see what I was saying.

Only when I have hope
Does my mouth become a fountain
In central Rome
Fed by aqueducts
As ancient as memory
Only when I have hope
That the water in my words
Will make you want to swim
That you'll be wet
With the feeling that I give you
Only when I have hope
                     Hope only you can give me
Only when I have hope
Does my mouth become an ocean
My thoughts are rising tides
Youre standing on a beach
And my waves will reach you

But right now
Im in a desert
Dying of thirst
          And water
Is but a bitter memory

I'm worried I've lost my hope
                          Hope only you can give me

I still write you
As a part of everything
A thousand characters
With the same heart in my mind
This heart of mine
Beats in time with yours
You'll be my everything
My ceilings and my floors
And my bed
Where I fall asleep to dream
You'll be my love
My understanding of god

Dearest Zelda
I could give my life
And it never could be as much
As you deserve
So I'll give you the next one
I'll give you all the stars I come from

I still dream you
I still am thankful
You found a way to save me
When nothing ever could
The beginning and the end
Of everything
I love you
I am you
And we are the rain
Born from our tears before
We fall together
Holding hands

Sweet Isabella
I keep on throwing parties
That I can't enjoy
Because you're not there
And one day I won't need wine to drink
One day I won't need drugs to get high

I may be great
Gatsby dies for Daisy
My soul can't be complete
If not for you
Its as though our broken pieces
Put together make a perfect whole

I hope you hear the hopes in my words
That they speak to you
I hope you feel the sorrow in my handwriting
That I'm not with you now
I want you to know you moved and breathed in the same world as me
-F Scott Fitzgerald

I'll always have something
To say
To make you know
Your the center of the universe
I'll always be able  to make
You feel
Like no one else ever could
Your the center of a universe

It's in me
If it's in me
It's in you
If not now
Just believe
I am you
And one day
Not now becomes forever

Not now
I hold you in my arms
Not now
We're physically close
Not now
I am a stranger
Right now
The love you need
To be strong
I
Am
You

Finding love


The love I need to be strong

I'll always have a body
To touch
And despite any distance
My obdurate soul
I'll always fall in line
You have control
I'll always be able to make
You feel
Your in control like no one else can be
Not even the hands that touch me

When you can't

Forever
The words you speak
Forever
The way they reach me
Forever
Love we look for
Right now
The love we have found

It's in me
So it's in you
Your inside me
I'll be inside you
With my hands to touch
What no ones ever seen
Or even realized
Existed

You are my angel
I try to explain
When I know I can't
I can't understand

I love you
And anyone that thinks
They love you more
Can go to hell
I love you more
I love the stars and universe
Your a part of
Can I be a part of you?

Forever
Forever
Forever
For now and always

And always and always

I am just a tear drop
In the storm
That wanted nothing more
Than to fall on her skin
And be felt

just a tear drop
Lost in all the rain
That the wind drives sideways


she could never know it was me

I am just a tear drop
In the storm
It rained all morning
It rained all afternoon
And night is coming soon

just a tear drop
That fell outside her door
Because she didn't want to feel the rain


**right now I'm getting lost in the ocean

I wouldn't teach you how to swim
I would
Show you how
To breathe underwater


I wouldn't teach you how to fly
I would
Show you how
You've always had wings


You've always been a dream
A dreamers delight
The rhythm of a drum
I a drummer

As a star at the center of a universe
You should know better
Than to believe the clouds
Can hide your light


I couldn't show you how to love
                           I would
                      Only be someone
                            You could


I would love you

I can't live
I can't live until I see
I can't live until I see your smile

I need nothing
I need you

Come
Come away
Take this gun
It's always been yours
Stay
Stay right here
Drink the wine
It's always been you

I can't see
I can't see until I see
I can't see until I see your eyes

I need nothing
I need you

Come
Come away
Novocain
Dance with me
Run
Run away
Become my moon
It's always been you

I can't love
I can't love until I feel
I can't love until I feel your skin

I need nothing
I need you

I like to know how you feel
Set my eyes on your heart
You love my words
I love your night
Make the day your hope
A soul trying not to hurt
A soul lost in pain

It's just rain

Think the way of light
Remember my song
People's minds make bodies cold
A reason why I drink
Smile a little darkness
Sleep in the arms of the sun
Broken I suppose
Tears are gonna fall

It's only rain
