My first love was not a mistake.
I did not err in loving your ways.
I gave my whole heart, and that's just fine.
I just had to learn that it was always mine.

A heart can never fully break.
Despite what they say
It's just another common cliche
One that you chose to believe
Or one you chose to forsake.

My heart is complete
My heart is whole
Even after everything
I can still love like before

Spiraling through
The rhombus night
Missing you
But your mine, you're mine.

Water lily, my little beauty, tell me what you see
A deeper blue, but a brighter hue, now that I'm complete
After all my measure, crawling through the water, tell me who to be
I'm still the same, just a little changed, say you still love me

Water lily, my little beauty, tell me what you see?
A deeper blue, but a brighter hughe, now that I'm complete...
After all my measure, crawled through the water, tell me who to be?
I'm still the same, just a little changed, say you still love me?

I want it to be different. I do..
I don't want to remember this. Or you..
Each new day starts over afresh.
But I'm slit open again.
This nightmare won't end...
Everytime its the same.
Everyday nothing's changed
Nothing will ever change.
You say you'll stop.
You hold my hope,
Why the surprise when you let it drop?
Always say you'll stop.
You hold my hope,
Why the surprise when you let it drop?
You say you want to
but I don't believe you.
So say all you want,
I won't believe you.
Waste all that talk,
I still won't follow.
Lies lies lies... all you speak are lies...
What's hidden underneath?
Lies lies lies... all those wasted lies...
But the truth still finds you..

You're my star in the distance
You have all my heart
Although we are different
And so far apart.

You shine a low blue light
That burns hotter
Than my bright light

You're my star in the distance
You have all my heart
Although we are different
And so far apart.

Your smile is sweet
Always asking for more
You radiance is engulfing
All the way to the core

You're my star in the distance
You have all my heart
Although we are different
And so far apart.

Hide your heart, with open arms,
impaled on a thorn, piercing your core.
It's just a rose,
a beautiful rose.
Take heart, my dear, take heart.
How the petals do fall, and gently fade.
It's just a rose, a beautiful rose.

Destract me, quickly
I'm starting to see...
I don't want to feel nothing
I don't want to be empty
Everything is detracting me
I'm starting to see...
I don't want to feel anything
I just want to be clean

I am out of tune
It doesn't matter what you play
The monochrome sound will remain
Even with new keys
The beauty of that piece
Is mangled in my strings.
So please,
Just leave me here in the dust
To rot in this silent room because
I am beyond repair
I will never play again...

I don't care anymore.

But that's a lie...
If I didn't care,
I wouldn't write.
But why?

Why do I still have hope for this?
It's not getting any better,
That's obvious.

Why do I treat my heart like this?
Give up the torture,
Nothing's left.

I had all that love...
You didn't understand.
I gave it freely,
And got burned.

See if I care for you anymore
See if I love just once more
No.
Never again.
I won't waste my pearls on swine
The final decision is mine.

But...
Truth is,
I still care...
I just wish I didn't....

If I carved
Out your heart
It could never leave a scar as deep
As the ones you left on me.

I am an alien.
This is not my home.
You all blame it on
"being human",
all those imperfections.
I wish I was human.
Capable of consoling my short-comings
with lies about my inabilitys.
I am capable.
Perfection is possible.
So why lie?
You wouldn't sell a diamond
at half price.
I wish I was human.
Able to neglect my emotions
for fear of their disappointment.
But no...
I cannot forget my duty
I just want to go home again.

Closed eyes
Open a dark secret space
Moments go by, and
You've forgotten to breathe again.
You're trying too hard again.
Your fears are blinding you
From the light life around you

Remember the things you've forgotten
You couldn't forget their haunting
If you neglect them
You'll grow weaker (they'll win)
If you forget them
You'll only move slower (now run)

All your dreams you wish would be
They could free you from this reality, but
You've forgotten to breathe again.
You're trying too hard again.
If only you could see
You don't have to change a thing

Your fears are binding you
If only you would drop that pack
You wouldn't have to panic
If you neglect them
You'll grow stronger (you'll win)
If you forget them
You'll move faster (now run)

Just breathe the light life around you
Just see the truth that is you

I wanted to share more of me
You just wanted to flaunt to your friends
I was willing to give you everything
But you turned all my love into shame
I was prepared to give you my life
But you had me believing a lie

Surender your sorrows
And save yourself
Set your sights
And sing your song
- Zachery Wylie

Buried under shallow water
Faced up to the sky
I've been lying here for hours
Watching the stars shine
The gentle, muffled ripples
Reflecting dancing light
Onto the sand around me
Soft, clean, and white
I don't know how I got here
I don't know why I stay
No one is coming to save me
But I'm not afraid

If you can be poor with someone, you are rich.
If your well is dry, you are the bridge.
If you can go with them with nothing, you are something.
If together you chase your true calling, you can stop running.

-Gloraeanna

This is our secret garden
Our place of growth
Where our secrets are hidden
Beneath heavy stones
This is the path of the chosen
It couldn't be changed
If it was any different
We wouldn't be the same
