Mending the shattered pieces back together,
The pieces you left floating around.
I'm okay or maybe just under the weather.
I try to whisper but out comes not a sound...
Fading into thin air is the remains of what used to be
Dissolving into the swirls of time.
Grasping onto dear life, setting the inner me free.
Accepting it all, this is my prime.
A fresh breath of the future inhaled into this soul of mine
Yet strings of my heart cling to a rock
And I try and try to tell myself I'll be fine
And you know what? Maybe I will with the movement of the clock.

All I can compare you to is a cigarette
I know with every drag I take
I come a little closer to death
And I love every drag I take
I love knowing that I'm okay with it,
Okay with you killing me slowly
I can't shake my addiction
Even if it in the end it means death
I am destine to die with or with out your help
In painful memory of your cold soul
I ignite the flame
And put fire to my death
And take yet another drag
Waiting for it to **** me
One after another,
Chain smoking to speed up the process
Hoping that death is a happier place
Than being alive and alone

Only I can create that burning desire
The one that ignites at every glance you take at me
Let it burn, that eternal fire
There's no other way I'd rather it be.
Your soul wanders away to find mine
While your body is with her.
I know you're craving my touch, but you tell her you're fine.
I know that feeling all too well. Oh, my love, I do concur.

A sparkle in your eyes.
The uncertainty of your lies.
A kiss that grows from your lips.
The love that slips through my fingertips.
A soft touch from your hands.
A mind like mine, no one ever understands.
The words that are spewed from your mouth.
How can I possibly have any profound doubt?

With bitter, late night thoughts in mind,
Poison in my soul,
What is there to find
When love has taken its toll?
Galaxies that separate us drift further apart.
How can it end if there weren't even a start?
Riddles and puzzles arise in this mind of mine
Is this love or is this just another sign?
A sign that takes my desolate heart
Even further than those galaxies apart?

You’re all I want then you’re all I hate
You make me love you then you push me away
You’re just not right, then I think you’re my soulmate.
You tell me to go but all I wanna do is just stay.

Have you ever felt like the world is against you?
And no matter how determined you are and
How much you persevere, you find it to be true.
They say twice as much isn't twice as good
And quantity is always going to be inferior to quality
But you people aren't even beginning to see.
You aren't seeing how twisted this world is becoming.
You couldn't care any less than you do right now.
Just humming, doing what you do, walking around.
And the sound of bitter lies seep through the mouths of these beings.
They supposedly call themselves righteous and full of wisdom.
But the world is yet to see your true colors.

The pattern is continuous and so repetitive.
It's a cycle, a sequence, a pattern.
They all know what's right yet they wander down the path of darkness
Following the dark one to his tavern
Who am I? I'm not that different except in one way.
Realization can take its toll on someone.
It's the point when you decide if you want to leave or you'd rather stay.

Have you ever felt like you can defy gravity?
Have you ever felt so invincible that no one could possibly ever touch you?
I have and that's the feeling that causes you to fall back really hard,
For it lasts for only a moment, a moment of power. And that's nothing new to you.
Look around and you shall see all the failures and successes of them.
Look at yourself and see how much more unique you are.
Refuse to let them utter complete nonsense in your ears.
Someone will come along and prove them wrong and make you their star.
The star of the universe, of his universe. And you shall see…
That's the only place you'd rather be.
But until then, do not close doors just because you are afraid
Open them and embrace the world as if it were your last day living.
Do it for yourself because all the while you could have left, but instead, you stayed.

What would you do if you found out it was all just a dream?
Everything you’ve always believed in was gone…
Would you run? Would you hide? Would you scream?
It was a complete scenario that you, yourself, had drawn.
The very air that you breathe is now poison to your soul
The emotions you feel are now suicide to the mind
And you wonder what you did to end up in a world so cold,
A world of solitude, despair and no one kind.
What if I took you by a surprise and showed you something new?
Would you accept it or say it’s all too good to be true?

What if I told you there’s a world beyond this?
Will you let me in to show you it all?
Or would you be ignorant to it all? After all, ignorance is bliss.
It’s nothing tricky, just the mind screaming its call.
A world so desolate, a world so cruel
Take my hand and let me be your guide
In this journey, let me be your fuel.
Let me in, I’ll show you there’s nothing to hide.
In a gloomy grave sight, I can show you beauty
I’ll show you the lengths of ingenuity.

Dreams have ended and you’re now wide awake
You look around in hopes of seeing me
What if I were there? The answer “Yes.” is all it will take.
Don’t you want to set yourself free?
Free of all the burdens that have piled up
Free of all the flowing emotions you wish would finally stop.
Let me be that one to take it all away.
Let me be that one to make you stay.
Stay with me and have yourself a peace of mind
Stay with me, I promise I won’t ever leave you behind.
What if you realized it were all just a dream?
