Every day the clock slows down at 9
It is on that time that the birds chirp
They chirp such a melody in my ears
But I cannot hear I can only see
The world bow down where she is

His voice rings in my ears
When I hear the sound of the rain
He sails through my mind
Grasping hold and taking control
Of my heart

As the world rises from its feet
The birds silence when she looks up
Every bit of her is the opposite of every bit of me
Her face is like an infinite, unmatched

He calls my name over and over
His voice ignites through my veins.
Flowers bloom in my soul
And weave around my heart.
He whispers,
"Never let me go"

She glances my way setting me ablaze
No matter how bright I burn
She always burns brighter
And now she walks over to me
To put out the flame

He lights a match
And burns me from the inside out.
In the snowy Decembers he leaves me in the cold
And watches me burn

She once whispered in my ear,
"Forever and more"
And now if you look at me
You cast your glance far away;
I was once your favorite toy

He's waiting by the door
As I burn to pieces inside
He's cold
On the inside and out;
He was always waiting for a girl
Who didn't burn

Now to you I'm not even a teenage boy
And yet when I see you I still burn for you
But now I am left here with nobody to put me out

"I always loved you" she said
"You were always the fire in my rain," he said
*"But I could never love you too"

It's only a dream
I'm no foolish girl
I will have to wake up
Eventually

The problem with dreams
As soon as you wake up
It's over

You can dream again
But it won't be me

Maybe I'm wishing
Just this once
Dreams could come true
But if I did
I would never tell you

People are partying away
As the clock moves closer to my day
My dying day that draws near
Nearer and nearer on every new year
Until one year the clock falls asleep
And the clock takes my soul to keep

Feel my light, feel my pain
Feel my darkness feel without vain
I am a creature that lures in my dark,
Around my head like tree with new bark

Feel my light, feel my pain
Feel my darkness feel without vain
Every night a new nightmare
Nothing good can compare

The sun hides away
And she comes out to play

She spins me on a wheel
Always going to fast, to slow

She grips my very skin and shakes it
Until it is lost

And now I am everywhere
All at once I fall

falling falling

Every bit of me is out and she takes me
Rekindling me with stitches that
Give away on the moment she wants
She controls me and worse of all

I am her and she is me

Like a piece of wood floating
I feel I am drifting
Drifting on a sea of expectation
And like the wood I have easy ignition
Now I am burning of disappointment
In a deep sea full of judgment
Down and down I go deeper
And the fire burns darker
Until the sea is dried
And the wood has died

Whenever something terrible would happen in my life
I would scream to the heavens
Asking why God, why me
And he would never answer
That's when I lost my faith in God

Before I would believe that it was my destiny
My way my path was driven on pain
Then I realized that I was not chosen
That God was wrong, even God made mistakes
And even God lost faith in my too.
That's when I lost my faith in myself.

She walks on water as if land wasn't enough
Sometimes she stops breathing due to oxygen being afraid
Afraid of the natural breathtaking beauty that is hers
Something so rare and sought out for by every girl
She possesses in every step that can make any boy
Want to become her knight in shining armour
But all she wanted was a boy who never changed
Never altered themselves for her
What she wanted was for someone to simply be real
To be everything they are even if it doesn't compare to her
This curse never came undone
And she lived life a beauty with no one.
