I'll be, just another regret, a faceless phantom in your past, a skeleton, rattling bones, and i don't know, how you still have room in your closet for more. and you'll be, just another lesson, that i had to learn the hard way.

Red beating hearts, red lips, red ribbons, red red red blood red, smear it on the wall and call it broken, drip, catch with your tongue, artificially flavored, fake tastes so sweet, chocolate foil litter, a hurricane, snow to make snow angels, mine stepped on, give up, you're no angel, you are not pure and don't even think for a second you are beautiful, the crave grabs you by the hair and spins, ring around the rosie, pocket full of posey, ashes ashes, they all have hands to hold so i'm the one that falls down.

We are the creators, we are expression in its purest form, because we just are, adrenaline, awareness, passions of the flame, wishmakers from the ripples in the water, lets ignite, like trick candles, there's always more, lets unbury the questions we put in the ground, make something amazing out of them, write down our own answers, resurface, those things we all hide, so that we may forget, the heaviness weighs ambitions down, just be, express, reverse origami, unfold.

what dies when you grow, aren't we supposed to develop and bloom, why does it seem like we fade, like sepiatone, how does one resist the dust that collects on their denied ambitions, and why do they give up, maybe it is easier to be born again than to grow up, seeing everything for the first time, as if it were new, try again, i wonder how many have stumbled over the things they didn't do, when they still had the passion, the greatest intentions to consume all at once their unspecified paths, i see a child with a fascinated smile, and uninhibited honesty, they glisten, they are ignorant but i envy the unknowing, that directly after actions are consequences, i wish i was still picking flowers in my grandmother's yard, blowing the heads off dandelions, wishing for a pink bicycle, it floats in the wind, somewhere in time i forget why it was so important, there's priorities now and changes and risks to be taken, it's like life has suddenly become dangerous, and i don't have an excuse to run around naked anymore.

into another black hole, ******* all the last drops of potential, they will find something on the other side, something that before they were too busy and much too blind, and i wish i could give you new eyes, that can adjust to these strobe lights, set the f-stop and the shutter speed, before you miss it next time, i will be just a blur with windswept hair, and glances ocean deep, i hardly know your face, but that lyrical tongue electrifies me, and im just a midnight crave, the simple hi bye good day, the last desperate attempt at something anything, you bewitch me, more than physically, but how many spells have you cast, and who still lingers on your path, im just a name and a clever picture to follow, you sparkle to me, but the plans are always hollow, you run so fast to catch up with your own advice, so far im losing sight, your a dot in the skyline, you were never mine, but after all the nights you fell asleep, your hopeful words played a song for me, but you never saw, and i doubt you'll ever see.

Here's to the night, those nights, this night, i will find comfort in my velvet blankets, words with senseless depth, the smell of rising smoke, this room is too hot, so why am i still cold, why am i still hopeful, when all that falls into my hands is acid rain, burns, burns, burn, burnt, give up, give in, it hurts, but that's just feeling, like an alien nightmare, must destroy it at the source, myself, but if i was numb, my compassion would slip away, don't let me swallow all the novacaine, tomorrow, maybe, might be, a brighter day, here's to the most lonely optimist, i'll raise my crystal champagne glass to the mirror, and drink memory erasing potion, here's to you, all of you, cheers.

A twist and turn Rubik's cube
When we already knew what the last fitting color looked like
We've been spinning this puzzle a while
The flame has always been on its way to the actual firework grand finale
The sparks they fall and they fall so far to the ground
To the ground I fall
I want what I can't have, I've had what I can't keep, I keep only what I can grasp in a memory
And am I scared because I didn't grasp enough, the time I couldn't capture anyway?
Or am I scared because I did, and I am scared that I want more?
I've worn my words on my lips before but now I just kiss them away
My mind has a showdown versus yours, clairvoyance isn't working
Turn on the screen and show me how I'm just a pixel in millions
Only a slight shade, vibration, a tiny barely significant something
That's what I'm used to seeing, this is what I expect to see, I expect you to just shrug my dust off your shoulders
Where my problems lie, what I want to see and what's really there
Your eyes are black holes and your body is a carnival
You subtly steal my senses and replace them backwards
These screams are whispers
And my hands are fireflies, I just wanted you to feel the glow
Did you feel it...could you ever feel it?
You've always had that way about you, that space between, that almost
Always been in that sunset background, somehow
Like you're the adventure I've been packing for
I wish we could have an adventure
You're a wordless song in my headphones, a hidden track on the mix-tape
A cleansing melody filling me when I thought all there was left was no voice on the other end
I want to write you as lyrics down, but I don't know how to spell you out
But if I had to rhyme I would match hope with soap
Slippery, through the fingers
I'm trying to forget your taste, (but oh don't let me forget)
I'm only forgetting because I feel like I have to
So I can keep up, so I can forget before I'm forgotten
The ink fades but will still stay
I'll try my best to wash you off my skin.
