Up until my insomnia meets me
I lied when I said I forgot
I was scared what you'd think
If I said that  I love you a lot

People have only cared for minutes
Leaving me to care for days
When I look at you all I can think
Is please don't go away

I can see me in your eyes
I dream of dreaming with you
I can trace your scars with mine
My thoughts are bleeding through:

My Talia, I know what it's like to not be seen;
what it's like to be alone in a crowded room.
For you, my star, I want you to know:
that no one shines as bright as you.

I can taste you moving on my skin.
My gasp is air you sustain.
hand in hand, under an umbrella
with you, I am safe.

Here's to THOSE nights
When you lay awake
When it's 4 am
And all you can do is let your mind wander

Here's to THOSE nights
When you lay completely still. Thinking.
When you can't help but think of the worst
And you can feel the pain in your chest

Here's to THOSE nights
When you can't help but cry
When the pain becomes too much
And your pillow is soaked in your tears

Here's to THOSE nights
When I'm missing those times
When you held me so tight
And told me it'd be ok

Here's to THOSE nights
When your thoughts are racing
When you toss and turn in bed
And you can't help but feel tired of breathing

Here's to THOSE nights
When you think things couldn't get worse
When you think happy is impossible
And life is no longer worth the fight

Here's to THOSE nights....
When you hit rock bottom

I sit here at night
Left only with the thought of you
The pain in my chest
It seems to spread

I sit here at night
Wanting to grab that bottle of pills
Yet knowing I can't let you down
Even though temptation is like a knife

I sit here at night
Wishing I could lock myself away
And sit with the company of my razor
But knowing I can't throw my streak away

I sit here at night
Longing for a big bottle of *****
Just to wash away the tears
But I know I can't be a mess

Still all I want to do is...
Just Drink Life Away

I
still hear
voices
but now
we all get along.

We're a romance for how my heart beats for you
We're a sad story for how that statement isn't true for you
We're a comedy for the humorous irony of me and you
We're a a fiction because it will always be me space you
We're a fantasy because the concept of we're is all in my head
