Check my heart,
Check my pulse,
Is it still beating?

I'm too deep,
And I don't know,
Am I still breathing?

Check my head,
Am I dead?
Or am I still living?

Do they know?
Where I've gone?
How long am I missing?

Check my soul,
See my bones,
Am I a zombie?

Take me home,
Where do I go?
Do they still love me?

were all of the lows
worth that one high
were all of the falls
worth that one rise
were all of the defeats
worth that one victory
will all of our stories
go down in history?
who are you?

she stood over the water,
on the cliff of no despair,
wings folded,
relaxed like she doesn't care.
but she does.
the sky is torn,
she bows her head,
the crown is worn.
legend says,
that you can fly.
only the believers,
will risk to die.
the wind whispers
into her ears.
the sun warms
all her fears.
reluctantly her hands fold,
into a prayer.
how ironic, she thinks
even angels dare
to have hope.
So, let fate come forth,
under the winter night.
alas, angel of the north
bring me your light.

They say
I've been waiting for this moment,
All my life, that's what I wanted.
You say I'm still here lying, hoping,
You'd still love me in the morning.
Been wishing on every star,
It's in my head, it's automatic.
Hearts lifting up, into space,
But it can't hear through static.
You're soaring further away,
Deep into the Milky Way.
I'm letting myself runaway,
Even if you couldn't stay.
So I stare right into the sun,
While you are here, no regrets.
Can't see where you're going,
But you, I cannot forget.
Although, you're gone and flying,
I fell from the sky, mortifying.
Don't need no reminding,
But it's fine, I'm still trying.

You came out of nowhere,
When I thought I needed you the most.
Passion and blood both bleed red,
Pull the trigger on the gun against my head.
Are you going to fix me?
Are you going to break me?
Are you going to save me?
Are you going to drown me?
Are you going to love me?
Are you going to **** me?

Loving you like maybe,
Is like playing roulette with a heart.

What did I do to set you off?
What do I have to do,
To get you off my mind?
It's winter, its cold outside.
Staring into your big doe eyes.
Why did it bring back,
The dizzying highs?
Feels like I've been here, all my life.
Throwing rocks at your window.
But you didn't open them,
Not tonight.
The glass shattered, but I am fine.
Right?
But if angels don't cry,
Then why do the skies weep?
And if God is merciful,
Why is his silence so deep?

She left me in the coffin,
Let go of my hand.
Will she remember me?
When I'm buried in the sand?

Take away this feeling,
Is this even real?
Or am I still dreaming,
Awake in this ordeal?

God, is this my fate?
To leave me in this casket to drown?
Why won't you save me?
Pull me up so I don't fall down?

But she smiled at me, before she left.
Kissed me and wished me the best.
Could of taken me with you,
But she said "let the fallen rest".

But I don't want rest,
So I open my eyes.
Am I back in her bed?
No, I'm back in mine.
a few hearts ago
