lay with me
under the stars
tonight
they shine ever so brightly
for you and i

you have what it takes
already
you don't need to change anything
deep down in your soul
there's a strength so beautiful
just waiting to come out
be brave
be courageous
you will achieve the greatness you desire

don't worry about those insignificant ones
that think they know you
understand you
want to associate with you
they aren't important
what's important
is you
and don't you forget it

looking into your eyes
is magical
you feel like home

don't let anyone stop you
don't let anything hold you back
as each day goes by
you will grow
closer with yourself
becoming the person
you were meant to be

everything can change in a fleeting moment
lives lost in seconds
in this moment you are alive
take it not for granted

and to think things were starting to get better around here
all those hours i put into making it all okay again
wasted on your cold heart and stubborn mind

take time away from the world
to let yourself grow alone

just don't stop
a little goes a long way
trust me
i know it's hard
just do a little bit more everyday
and soon everything will fall into place

the weight of a thousand words
heavy on my heart
slowing me down
dragging me low
i need to break away
i am chained
you hurt me

you tore a piece of my heart out
and carried it with you
as you wandered off
and found yourself a new lover
you cold man

wounds heal my darling

kind of over it
feeling really gross
and like worthless
i am not good at anything
i am just really lonely
all the time
and yeah

i sit here now
all alone now
what can life give me
what can it show me
i have only learnt of pain
misery
deep sorrow
what am i doing
what are you doing
you are nowhere
you were always here
for me
but i sit here now
all alone now

i've given up on you
my heart is broken
and you don't care

you begin here
in this moment
forget yesterday
just breathe
and live
right now

suffocating
i am without good company
all alone
i want to breath fresh air again
feel free
i don't want to be trapped any longer

a nod of acknowledgement
as you walk past
that's all i get from you now
once you were my everything
now we are merely strangers

sometimes a little bit of nothingness
is quite necessary
time to sit and ponder
alone with your thoughts
in silence

forget normal
normal is so plain
so ordinary
try creative
unique
beautiful
do what is it that makes you
yourself

you caught me like a bunch of roses
thrown from a bride on her wedding day

he smiles to himself
as he walks away
away from the crowd
the noise and hustle
to his secluded home
the calmness fills him
as he steps in the door
another day completed

crimson blood moon
black night chokes the stars
the forest howls
deathly dreams

listen up kid
don't you take your life for granted
you won't be this young forever
with a carefree state of mind
do what it is you love
and be grateful

i'm choking on the words i never said

laying here alone
thoughts aren't of you
they aren't really of anything
minds a blur
i am content with focusing
on completely nothing

cold
even colder
ice cold
frozen
melt me again

sitting here tonight
all i think of is you
i hear your voice
your laugh
i miss you
my darling
i miss you so much

no you don't get it
this is not me
someone has stolen
the person you see

i guess i stumbled
and now i've fallen
into a heap
trying to pick up the pieces
scattered about
a stupid mess
that i can't clean up

wow
i am me
no one else
can crawl into my head
and know my thoughts
i will grasp control of my life
and go my own way

i wish to find
more of my kind
a group of humans
in which i confide

what i have
is a wounded soul
but
my heart
is slowly opening again
to new things
to old things that feel new
i place my stale thoughts in a jar
and close the lid
i say "no more"
it is now
time for loving
and rediscovering myself
and redesigning myself
i let the pain hurt
but i don't let it define me
it's time to start living again

she hates her reflection
hates her chubby arms
her chunky thighs
she wants a thin waist
perfectly slim legs
she craves perfection
not seeing what everyone else sees
absolute beauty

i don't know anymore
i don't know where i stand
or who i stand with
i guess it's okay to wander
but i'm a little lonely
a little sad
in need of a little more love
but i don't even know

stop
take a breath
relax
take another breath
picture an open field
vibrant green grass
warm sun
pretty scented flowers
fresh air
you feel peaceful
free
you wander
barefoot through the soft grass
your mind clears
you are safe
content
breathe

freely wandering
listening to the birds sing
breathing in the cleansing morning air
why can't life always feel this peaceful

you're screaming words at me
i try to make them out
give them meaning
my hearts beating
pulse rushing
stop
just stop
let me be please
i can't take any more
i am not like you
i am not a screamer
more or less a dreamer
you cannot make me into you
please
let me go

i miss you more than you know
the thing is
i don't think i ever i cross your mind
and that hurts
it really kills me
to know you're fine without me
maybe happy
and i am struggling to get through my days
without seeing your face
crumbling at the very thought of you
i miss you so dearly

you made my days brighter
like really
things were so much better
when i was yours

a little more love
a little more kindness
a little more patience
a little more trust
a little more happy

honestly
do what you love
and only what you love
follow your heart always
love apologetically
love freely
love you

sleepy now
drifting off
to another world
fresh air fills my lungs
sunshine warms me
i am at ease

but she's not all that she seems
oh no
she is much more
she belongs to the stars
magic unknown
a spectacular being
you just haven't looked into her eyes
they hold star dust secrets
she is a dream

stolen hearts
broken minds
twisted words
painful truth

the clouds gather
they darken
thunder rumbles
lightening strikes
the sky is angry today
throwing a beautiful tantrum
for the whole town to behold
