The once solid black paved roads turn into
unsteady gravel as they grow closer towards the
edge of the world they created together.
They don’t have much time and they know it.

They lay under a sky as black as
the ink she uses to write about him
and raging winds that
yell louder then his drunken dad did.

Breathing her perfume in like
the toxins of a cigarette
she takes him higher than
he ever thought possible.

Their kiss was powerful,
maybe because it was their last.
It wasn’t a goodbye kiss though,
more of an “I’m sorry we didn’t make it”

So fear chokes them and holds them back.
It's the same fear that leaves him sitting there
for what seems like forever
as he watches her slowly walk away
cause he knows she can't fathom
how much he loves her.

She cries while walking away,
not out of sadness
but because of almost being in love
and the fear of not almost being loved back.

He doesn't care if she doesn’t loves him,
he loves her and that’s all that matters.
But it’s too late,
she’s gone.

So he keeps breathing in the deadly toxins
that still lingers in the air
while she holds onto a heart full of regret.

But for once,
just once,
I want to be able tell someone
absolutely every crazy thought
that rummages throughout
my absolutely crazy mind      
and I want them to tell me
that maybe I am not insane,
that maybe I am just
different,
and then maybe tell me
that they like
different.

I hate dreaming about you,
when I wake up my whole body aches
from being tricked into thinking
I was really touching you,
that you were really there
and you really did want me.
I don’t like waking up whenever
I dream about you because
when I turn over to the
other side of my bed
to that empty space
I’m just reminded that
you still aren't here with me
and I’m still lost without you.

find a girl that makes you question the existence of the "grey area" and that makes it hard for you to listen to any song without thinking of her;
find a girl that makes you question whether summer ever ended at all,
find one that makes you want to explore nature and learn about the ocean just so you can compare her to something almost as beautiful as her.
find a girl who turns giving up into giving you everything,
a girl that makes you imagine the very day you met her over and over again.
find a girl that will make you think twice about what you say, but won't ever chastise you for it.
just find her.
find her and swear to me you will never let her go because everyone else is looking for her too.

You’re searching through my bloodshot eyes, trying to find me.
You’re staring right into me,
but you can’t see me clearly.
Knocking on my door,
there’s no one home
and there hasn't been for a while.
I left a long time ago,
slowly faded away without a single soul noticing
until it was too late.  
You’re right in front of me
so why don’t you reach out and pull me back in?
Can you hear my desperate cries for help?
I think you’re touching my face now,
it feels like you’re trying to reach into my brain;
you’re trying to figure what’s going on inside my mind
but there’s something in the way.
Something’s taking me over and not letting you in.
Who am I?
Baby, do you know?
Do you remember who I really am,
the person I was before the poison,
the man behind the mask?
You’re staring into me with those eyes glazed over
and I die a little more with each passing moment.
Baby, I'm begging you to please save me
but I know all your efforts will go to waste.
I’m stuck sleepwalking
and no matter how hard you try,
you can’t wake me up.
