It takes everything
This disease of many face / All it wants; It multiplies / Completely random; it's appearance

Fit or Fading
All my life and in this world / Thoughts like nights / Days a blur

Melody
If I could be the lightest note / Strummed at the end of a perfect song / The message intoned so gentle, so perfect

What good deeds break.
7,200. Miles I put behind me to find you distraught and return you safely. So many miles to give that final piece. / The only way to find a place beside you and be true to the promise you wouldn't keep. Half spent alone in motion unto unknowns. Thoughts and miles passing. Through and beneath. Questioning my reasons but onward any way. The second half spent beside both in silence and smiling. While hurts were relived and answers heard. You bide time and got home safely unmolested, safe and sent me on my way. No act, no course, no quality in me to return your warmth. And that part in me broke completely. A selfless act doing more damage than good was the act that ruined my ability to believe in love. Not enough. Too much? In the end. Never me. But at least you were okay. Good deeds and love... Separate things.

I sleep.
If only I could be that man in my dreams / That man my eyes show me made of better things / Reaching for all I want and nothing out of reach

Insignificant
It seems as if adrift / Holding on to being broken / Longing to move on

The Weight of Waiting
I took this. / My choice made / By no choice at all

Cold Logic
It is a difficult thing; realizing / That I most likely will never be Prince Charming. / It seems that the fates have plans yet for me?

Why Not Me?
How to love myself? / When I don't know what / That sort of love looks like?

3 A.M.
As the title reads / In fact I do here sit / Unable to sleep
