Under skies so bright and brilliant
How do I dare cry?
Spanning space and time endlessly
Dreams in every sigh.
But I feel trapped when he storms
A twisted haunting scream
And I should leave his clenched fists
His voice gone to the wind
But everywhere is undersky
There's nowhere left for me to hide.
When he rains he drowns me
Oceans at a time
I am stuck under each wave
And he doesn't get why.
He is a twister ******* me in
Wrapping me around his finger
He wishes I'd just be a cloud
A pawn in his next disaster.
It's not always a summer day
When you lay in the grass and breathe
When you can daydream under skies,
Under skies at peace.
Appreciate him from a distance
Fall in love with the way he talks
If you can desire him when he's beautiful
Maybe you can survive him when he's not.
I thought I could handle harsh weather
I was a bit of a storm myself,
But I was the sprinkle of a watering can
And he was something else.
Time is linear you can't stop the flow
So I put my faith in forward
While I wait for it not to show
When I can go out without searching
Drive by without looking
See without feeling
Until "underskies" has only one meaning
When a warm breeze wraps around me
And I no longer feel the ghost of your arms
I will know where I am;
Under the sky.
maybe in another life.

I hope you still think of me
I hope you still drink for me
I hope all the lights
feel so dim
when you're missing me
I want to be made of a tougher material than flesh and bones.
I want to look into your eyes and know my body is strong enough not to crumble.
I want my skin to be made of scales and fire,
So when you try to stab me in the back I can turn around
And watch you cower in fear because I am invincible.
I want your touch to be cold against the heat of my skin.
I want to burn you alive.
And when all you are is powder and smoke,
Dust in my hand,
Let me blow away the last remnants of your soul.
I want to smile and let the daggers in my hand disintegrate.
Let me loose my skin and create a brand new me you will never touch.
Let me be a dragon.

Let Me In

I'm heartless.
I'm soulless
I'm careless.
You have a heart.
You have a soul.
You can care.
I used to love.
I used to believe.
I used to care.
Lets be in love.
Lets believe.
Lets care.
Lets spread the
heartless,
the soulless,
and the careless.
Let me break you.

I'm running from darkness
She is avoiding the light
She is closing her blinds
I'm escaping the night
I can never fall asleep
She can never know
She's not broken like I am
If I give in I go
Sometimes the black lasts hours
Sometimes it lasts for days
She wishes she was asleep
To get over all the pain
She is ultraviolet
Keeping me awake
She is everything
The victim of every mistake I make
She always drives me crazy
But I need her all the same
She seems to really love me
But can't make the claim
I'll want her forever
Love her til my walls are blue
She is where my mind wanders
Her eyes are the best Indiana view.

I looked into the mirror
To see
A terrifying monster
Staring back at me

I took a step back
And the monster did the same
Perfect timing
Perfect time frame

I made a confused face
And the monster copied me
A reflection of my actions
Oh what a sight it was to see

To test this beast I smiled
The monster smiled back
And I realized

I'm afraid of it
And it's afraid of me
Neither of us would hurt the other you see

And I learned
That the so called beast
Wasn't looking for a feast
Only someone who could love it

So
I became friends
With the monster in the mirror

And I discovered
What love really is
