Easy when a face can be replaced
Everyone enjoys the show like broadway
Easy to take a chance when nobody knows you right?
A song and a dance and you're a different man ever night.
It only takes one step to walk over the edge
And if your heart is as cracked as the canyon under your feet,
I suggest you back away from it
Because the split rocks scattered around you
Are not good indicators of
The split seconds it would take
For your hands to reach the heavens and
Your face to connect with the ground beneath
And although your only thought is
Whether you would finally be able to fly
And reach the other side
You are only a human
Standing with your barefeet pressed into sand
And your toes kissing a ledge
And although you can't fly right now
That doesn't mean you never will
But it only takes one step to walk over the edge.
Don't you say a word
Don't make a sound
These feelings can't be heard
Over our hearts so loud
Don't tell me of blurring lines
Of tragedy and company intertwined
Don't tell me you're afraid this time
When there's nothing to fear if you're mine

There's no apologies to be made for you and I
Nothing to cause your heavy sighs
There is only truth in your lies
You're afraid to feel alive
Like Alice in a wonderland 
Let me take your hand
And tell you how far the rabbit hole goes
Because this reality is all for show
There's a place waiting for you and I
Beneath the stars but in the sky
When or how I cannot tell
You will see you created your hell
Don't pay attention to these frail words
They're nothing compared to what has occurred
Inside our hearts we'll never be the same
If only you could let it change
Take me back in time
When we were young and we believed
Be the rhythm to a rhyme
I wound through the air for you to see
There was a day was there not
When we loved and never fought
Our hearts for control
Never tried to stop the flow
When did we let it go?
When did we stop trying to grow?

Remember a time, it's all I ask
Just please take it all back
Meet me where the world was easy
I'll be there waiting just believe me
I'll show you fireflies in the woods
We'll dance in the snow and never feel the cold
We'll walk the rain without our hoods
We'll love with hearts that will never grow old
You can tread the lonely stars with no fear 
No such thing as a fall if I catch you my dear

Live with a back unburdened by this world
Laugh with the laugh of that little girl
That I know still breathes
Still warms my heart when you are near
Eyes full of light beneath
The sadness and the fear
Dry that beautiful face and look for more
Inside this chest beats a key to the door
Unclench your fists and reach through the silence
Show the world the meaning of defiance
Don't leave me here without you
This place was meant for two
I understand so much, I do
But paradise is nothing without you

Today I am
tired...
Today I am
weak...
Today I am
lazy...

Today I should
drink tea.
Today I should
work out.
Today I should
Complete something.

But today,
I really don't
want to.
I think today I
will just be.
I will be what I
am.

Some days,
(like today)
It's okay
It's okay to be
To be
tired
and weak
and lazy.

Today
I will be those things
But Tomorrow
I will be a new me.

The Whisper
Fire and brimstone are nothing compared,
To the hell that I see, that I live, that I am.
You see, Hell is not a place where the ****** are condemned,
But a place in my head where Regret is the king.

It's a place where everything I wish I could've taken back,
Is played over and over and over again.
Torturing me and who I want to be,
With the image of who I was in the past.

Regret is the king, but Satan is me.
I am the accused, the shamed, the opposer.
The struggle is defining who I am today,
In the midst of the memories that I refuse to believe.

Demons are the memories that haunt me.
Beckoning me with false justification.
Chastising me with the whip of ignorance.
Killing me with the truth of my actions.

Hell is not the domain of evil.
Hell is not the source of all wrong.
Hell is a place inside of our heads.
Where we refuse to go and never want to be.

I used to think
that saying ‘I love you’ was overrated,
that if you say it too often it would eventually
lose its meaning

Then I fell in love,

and discovered how these simple words
could mean so much
in so many different ways
and it scares me how I panic
when I don’t hear you say that
you love me
not because I don’t trust you,
but somehow there is an inexplicable feeling inside me
that leaves me unsettled.
