Where?

Where? Where will the future take us? Where will we find ourselves when we reach it? The unknown lies ahead. It weaves a tapestry of disastrous beauty. When chaos cannot leap off the edge of order, what balance can we find in the solitude of existence? A blind thought lives in bliss. Open your mind and see.

All I Wanna Do

When all I wanna do is see you,
It takes strength to cage that feeling,
When all I wanna do is kiss you,
But need to give you space for breathing,
When all I wanna do is touch you,
I cannot stop my heart from bleeding,
When all I wanna do is love you,
But still unsure of its true meaning.

My Mind Vs. My Heart

I stare into the abyss that I call my heart,
Asking for the truth, but getting no remark,
My mind, on the other hand, has so much to say,
But can I trust the words and lies that it likes to throw at me?

I question every flutter of my fragile, silent heart,
I wonder if today will be the day we finally part,
And even though I know that everything will be okay,
My mind pretends to be my heart and likes to mess with me.

The Land of In Between

In the land of in between,
Where everything's hidden and everything's seen,
Where the unsure is sure and truth tells its lies,
And where everything's boring, yet full of surprise,
I hate in between because mystery lingers,
When words are a gun and you can't pull the trigger,
I run and I hide cause I want to be free,
But I keep ending up in the dark in between.

Lies Are Like Fire

Lies are like fire,
So hard to contain,
They rise and they rage,
And they cause hurt and pain,
Be careful with fire
It cannot be tamed,
So use it with caution,
When starting a flame.

Shadows

Do shadows ever go away,
When darkness hits us do they fade,
Or do they stay there hung in silence,
Blinded by the nights pure violence,
Do shadows ever see the sun,
When given light and told to run,
The shadow that still lives in me,
It craves the dark but fights to see.

I Am Your Secret

I am your secret,
I am your lie,
Tucked deep inside of your divided life,
I am your secret,
I am your shame,
If this is all real, then why hide me away,
I am your secret,
I am your truth,
But sometimes the lie is still better to you,
I am your secret,
I am your lover,
Choose me or a lie, you would still choose the latter.
