I’m always the one who wants to have fun
But I always cross the line
And all the mistakes add up-
I know this
And I know the pain I caused you-
There are no excuses, only regrets
I just wish for all of us to be fun, safe and free
With one foot in fantasy, one foot in reality-
The way it should be (in a perfect world)
But it’s so easy to fall victim to extremes
And it’s so hard to say what I really mean…
You are my blood and I love you
But even without the spiral staircase of DNA we share,
I know we would still find each other,
If not in this life, than the next.
You are always in my prayers
And if you ever dare find yourself in a black hole,
I promise to be there for you every step of the way
Until you emerge a new, bright shining star.
Trust your intuition when nothing’s as it seems
Control is an illusion. Life is but a dream.
You are my Loveblood.

Today I memorized your face
But still can’t pinpoint your smile
All is in perfect symmetry
But your eyes change color
So I’ll protect you from cosmic rays
While you use infrared to see right through me
And in the audio afterglow
We’ll let the sounds and colors wash over us
I don’t want to be your passport to the afterlife
I don’t want to be the black hole in the center of your universe
I want each galactic moment to stretch on elastic
Until it’s time to say goodbye
Until it’s time to see a shooting star and wish for change
And we’ll have a casual funeral
The neighborhood kids will surround you
And perhaps provide you more comfort than I ever could
But until that time let’s savor this energy exchange
You can turn the clock of my third eye into a tree of life
And I can plant the sun and moon into your bloodshot eyes
You’ll protect me from cosmic rays
While I use infrared to see right through you
And in the audio afterglow
We’ll let the sounds and colors wash over us

Standing on the precipice
Peering into the dark abyss
An untied shoelace,
A sudden gust of wind,
And I fell right in

Now it's all about the observer effect
A staring contest between it and me
Like being swallowed by the sea
When the sea is a deep hole pit

Out of the blue earth, into the black of outer space
But colors don't exist in chaos
The void has no face
It's a place where ideas flow
But no pen and paper can be found

Like when you wake up from a strange dream
The home of your bedroom feels obscure-
No longer a safety net, no longer the cure
And soon the sheets grow cold, the photographs are old
And you have no other choice but to step to the edge-
Just to know what it feels like again

But this time,
Instead of falling,
Someone pushes you

Euphoria or bliss
Sadness or a miss
That's how it begins and ends
The in-between, a dance of sins and amends
So bend or break,
What does it take to set your soul on fire?
Are you lingering like birds on a wire?
What inspires you to trust your heart with something new
When it could destroy you, take your soul captive,
Leave you in chains until all that remains is solitude as your middle name
What do you do when your heart's fortress is broken by one strong kiss?
Or is your heart an open domain where pain is free to reign,
Cause all you know is shame, and you don't have patience for mind games-
Is he a snake waiting in the grass? Or a dog that needs to be fed?
How do you trust the voices in your head
When every time you go to bed your dreams ran rampant
Of faith and fate, love and hate
What will be your heart's condition when you enter the gates?
Cause surely you will be born again into that same exact state

Thunderstorms are ******
So stand underneath a tree
Or light a candle in your bedroom and lust after the one you love

The wind is a wise gypsy
So let yourself be blown away like autumn leaves
And let the colors swirl around you

Sunshine leaves sweat and joy
So play in the daytime
And watch the white fluffy clouds turn into shapes

Nighttime brings diamonds in the sky
So look for the man in the moon
And make a wish on a falling star

Mountains are for those with kind souls
So climb to the top
And let your soul grow wings

The ocean forces you to dream
So ride each wave
While your mind evaporates

Trees are habitats for woodland creatures
So meditate with the noise they make
And feel serenity

(Savor nature in all its glory)

A hospital bed
A room painted red
A hungover head
All things unsaid

Dead flowers
Cold showers
In space for a second
On earth for an hour

A garden of weeds
A forgotten creed
A tree without leaves
A neglected need

Broken-down cars
A wrist full of scars
A sky without stars
A dull broken heart

You’re all smiles while I lurk
You played dead while I did all the work
Waited so long for you to get on your feet
And when you did, you decided you didn’t need me
The world doesn’t need another song about love
But I need to get this out somehow
I’m hoping on some help from above
Till like you, I can take a bow
So let me rest now
Let me dream
For in dreams I can escape this cruel reality
A world where everyone wears a mask,
Plays a role, holding fast to empty promises
That always takes a toll
I suspect there was another spirit in your mist
Will she rewire you and teach you how to kiss like her
I guess I had this coming
I pulled you in when you felt like running
Someone’s got to teach me how to not give a ****
Cause glamorous ideas never make good plans
