I grew tired of being a placemat
By the door to your vacant home
Will I ever be more than history
Lying in the back of your mind

I haven't seen the sun in days
You walk but you don't run
Tell me, is it better to flourish
To leave it all behind
Than to have lived through a passionate wish

Being with you was a wasted ******
I'd flow my stream into you
Wished for more than necks intertwined
I punctured your rejection with great strength
The pain was nothing compared to the way
You left me behind at arm's length

I cough, I ache, achoo
I sneeze not one, but two
Times as I forget you
You **** fool, why did you make
Me fall in love with you

I need some time
To write a rhyme
Of someone in pain

They wrote a long
Steady old song
With their lonely heart

Their life was grand
Like ocean sand
But they could never see

Who needs a friend
When you can't mend
Cause they'll never understand

Who will be there in your darkest days
And the voyage feels so far away

i think its safe to say now
that every time i’m with you
and every time i look at you
there’s one thing that
always stands true
that my heart tends
to beat a little faster
and all my worries
i seem to look past them
cause at this point
you're the only one
that i could imagine
having the perfect life with
this is just how i'm feeling
my love for you has no ceiling
and if you feel the same way
let's seal our love with a ring
you're the only one for me

There's a hint of truth to every lie
If I'm the one you call yours at night
Where am I when you wake up
In the bed of the one you call angel

I cling to a reminder
That I'm not a crime
That no one else is sharing you
I scorn myself for wanting more
Truth be told, I don't want the truth
If it rips me apart like a piece of mail
Left on the table
Then disregarded, expected as more

And you say that I'm nothing more
So off I go, I'm a flicker in your memory
I pick up the phone expecting your face
Why do I let myself be lifted
Only to fall back into the pit of your indifference

I've got this feeling
That we are shifting
Through our decisions
They're never ending

If all weight is lifted
Carry me out in an instant
I'm not who you expected
My love is sometimes banished
It hurts me, punishes me

Shredded in pieces, my mind
All this time, you sang well
My eyes green, not with envy
But with holy, a white spirit
Down the hallway, I see you
You're the one in danger
Jumpstart my heart as it revs up
And revamps itself from reverie
My feet have been through a lot
But as long as I'm breathing
They'll float above the flood
Suddenly it's not so deep anymore

These thoughts
Fill my mind
Like the words
To my favorite book
They slide across
My line of vision
Then bounce to life
And consume me

In the sounds between
Life and death
Lies a gentle creature
Named possibility
