She's slowly running out of time
Casting glances every which way
Running from her future

But it's just begun
The lies are catching up fast
Her life is spinning out of control

She wants a perfect life and a perfect home,
She wants to be special
But she's a wreck and she's a freak

She hates life each day more
She doesn't think she belongs here
She's running out of time

The sands of time are slipping out of her grasp,
It's consuming her
It's breaking her

Withering her into nothing but dust
She's almost gone
Then she'll bleed no more

Turning into nothing
Fading into infinity
She's running out of time

Ending on days that run into a river of nothingness
coming out with less each day
wishing to come out with more
wanting to learn all life has to offer

But I'm hindered and left behind to fend for the own likes of myself
eating away is the guilt I call my conscience
begging me to do right
but my body always succumbing to wrong

Convulsing with the stress and pressure of right and wrong
black and white
no gray in between
no room for compromises

The only definition for right is how I perceive it to be
subjected to the personas of the world
not one is better to be than me, myself, and true I
not one do I fall in line with

Embracing being different
embracing being unique
embracing being the only one
embracing being me

Ideas flowing from my brain
None of them sounding sane
Elephants floating in the sky
The kiss of death I do hide

Broken wings once held with grace
Has fallen upon a soulless face
Empty cups once filled with youth
Broken thoughts coming together as one

Slowly and painfully they come undone,
Unzipping itself from the prongs
Undoing the right and righting the wrong,
Endless thoughts running through my brain

They come and go
Killing me softly each time
Each and every thought all mine
Slipping through my reality

I hide myself for none to see
Afraid of judgement and what will be seen,
What is wrong with being the way I am?
Just because I'm different doesn't make me weird,
Just because I'm alone doesn't make me lonely,
I feel as deeply as any other

Sometimes more
Sometimes further
You judge me for being me
But why not judge you for being you?
Running from everyone who cares
Hiding behind metaphorical trees

I disappear from everyone
Just to conquer the perils of life on my own,
Feeling unworthy of any kind of love
The cruel world has turned against me,
Taking my eyes so I can't see
Taking each important part of me

Resuming the loneliness of my words,
Cause people just cut me with my shards of broken heart,
Scared to be me in the world of only me,
I can't see the love that's left inside of me,
I need to heal with what's left inside of me,
I drift quietly through the breeze

I fell for you like the rain from the sky
Your touch seared into my skin
I keep falling deeper in this cancer called love
Constantly spreading through me

Always coming back to claim more of me each time
Putting my heart out there for the taking
The feeling of thousands of tiny stars colliding
Exploring into one large burst of euphoria

Lighting me up from the inside out
Radiating this feeling through my pores
Feeling like our love can power this world of ours
Cascading over me

All you have to do is touch me and I'm on a high
Your love allows me to wings and fly
Soaring high into the world
Picking me up when I'm down

Scared to fall for your gentle touch
Feeling your love with my eyes, heart, and soul
These hands of yours building eternal love
As long as I have you by my side

There's nothing left I want to hide
Opening my heart up to a deeper, stronger love
Releasing me from my own shackles
Everything timelessly lovely

I used to giggle and laugh at the old times we had
But now all they do is make me sad
Reminiscing in sweet serendipity
Remembering the good with the bad

Noticing subtle changes through the years
Some of them good, some of them bad
Changing
Evolving into what we are today

Losing who I once was close to
Feeling loneliness for the first time
Something breaking deep inside
Causing me to turn and hide

Forgetting how those days could make me feel
Brightening up my days
Bringing life to a lifeless world
Melting the frozen parts hidden within

Sweet nostalgia
Laughter filling up long forgotten memories
Remembering the day we first met
And the long lost day we forever parted

Feeling lonely in this world of mine
todays a painful day to cry
sitting through all life's constant lies
a painful reminder of life

Beautiful types of pain
weathering me down daily
reaching deep inside
pulling out feelings buried in my heart

So over the pains of yesterday
watching them all melt away
with the steady fall of rain
I feel the burn

Trying to find love
not succeeding today
brushing off the dirt from my fallen knees
never again will they steal my life

Taking some time to heal over the scars
time's passing
life keeps going on everyday
watch as I reach for the stars
