Dead skin under fingernails
Chewed up lips and dried tears trails
Adrift upon the wave of calm
That followed the storm that rages on
It's subtle now, rumbling in my chest
It won't give me a moments rest
With just the bump of a restless wave
It consumes my body in raging flames
In its glow I still see your name
When everything's gone it still remains

Underneath the boiling night sky
I felt the heat of your hand in mine
I couldn't breathe most of the time
Entrapped in steam and starlights shine
I never wondered how I looked
Enchanted and lost within loves book
My eyes locked on a single spell
Your heart was mine, far as I could tell
I never wondered if you'd stay
Or if this heat would dissipate
Or if the love would fade away
But you chose her and that's okay

I've trapped you in my thoughts
Helplessly ensnared within my mind
We're wanderers, not lost
Slaves to endlessly limited time
I've trapped you in this moment
I'll never let you go
Your world will continue turning
But mine will start to slow
Savoring the feel of your skin
Memorizing every moment of this
Burning up in the heat
Of your existence against mine
I'll never get this moment back
I can only watch as it slips by
I'll never get this moment back
But when I close my eyes
You're here with me once again
Your warmth is by my side

Can't see like everyone else
I've got holes in my eyes
And they can't be helped

Emptiness feasting on green, full grass
Everything succumbs to winter at last

Fitted with diamonds and jaded by green
Sweeping arms open towards sullen seas

To sunset on the horizon just boats away
Rolling into dreams and sleeps decay

These holes in my eyes they won't let me rest
I lie awake and gaze at the ceiling of red

What's just beyond me is impossibly far
It's distance is a bit further than my outstretched arm

And just when I pay it a moments mind
It fleets away into the emptiness in my eye

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You didn't love me
But I loved you

There was a house on a hill
With a roof of hay
It's walls were made
Of ocean spray
The grass grew wild
And tall all around
The house was old
Deeply rooted in ground
Some say it was
The last untouched place
As trees were plowed
And taken away
Woodwork scattered
The industry rang in
The old house still stood
Resisting the changing winds
And finally when it came
When there was no more space
They went and took
The house away
It was gone
And all that remained
Was scattered hay
And ocean spray

I wanna make you happy
I wanna make you smile
I wanna be the reason why
Your struggles are worth while
