the clock is ticking; endless
(time is still the same)
my mind has wandered; restless
(you still keep me wide awake)

I love you more,
much more than before.
I don't care if we're rich, I don't care if we're poor.
If we had no bed I'd be fine on the floor
When I'm with you I need nothing more.
I love you more,
much more than the rain.
I love how you touch, and I love what you say.
And if you asked me, I'd say yes right away,
I'd go with you no matter the place.
I love you more,
much more than the moon.
I'd run with you fast, not a moment to lose.
And if we got lost, I'd be happy, it's true
I don't care where we are, as long as there's you.
I love you more,
much more than before.
We don't have to be rich, it's okay if we're poor.
If we had no ceiling, walls or a floor,
It wouldn't matter too much.
I still love you more.

when the trees stop their growing
and the seas rest their waves
the wind will stop it's moving
but i'll still never age
the clouds will cease their rolling
the gods suspend their reigns
the world will stop it's turning
and i'll still never age
the bruises stop their pounding
the cuts no longer sting
your voice fades it's resounding
and i still haven't aged
the ticking heals the wounding
time will let me be
in your eyes i see you yearning
but the catalyst is me
the sun will stop it's shining
the moon will dull to dust
truth embarks a journey
to find that love is merely lust
and deep within the crowd
you'll hear my caustic voice
warning you to stay away
love is but a choice
and when lovers have died
and shields are all the rage
i will linger on
because i have never aged

Faded and clumsy she stumbles, walking down the path of her past.
Crazy and stupid and jumbled, she follows without looking back.
Tossing and turning, revolting; avoiding the mess she has made.
Falling and failing and jolting, she trips on her old mistakes.
Quiet with reluctance she chooses to run with the ghost in her head.
Vastly and quickly she loses; the love inside of her... dead.
Broken and jaded she's worse, changed by the substance she takes.
Ignoring that one that it hurts, she trips on her own mistakes.
Lost and lonely she's crying, scared of forgetting the way.
Learning to pray (she's trying), insistent to start a new day.
Stronger and stronger, she's better; the love she had lost will stay.
She is as she was when he met her, she quits all her old mistakes.


Recurring the wrong, she's going, peering down the path of her past.
He kisses her, fearing and knowing, she will leave and never come back.
He sits in the dark beside her, bargaining for her to awake...
But No One is listening to heal her.
She lost to her own mistakes.

Lead me far from where I came.
I want to leave behind my pain, taking directions from the rain.
Lead me straight to where you are.
I try to go, but I can't get far taking directions from the stars.
Lead me to the sound I knew.
I want to dance my song for you, taking directions from the blues.
Lead me to the darkest night.
I want to know that I can fight, taking directions from the light.

Lead me back from where I'm from.
I know I'll get there while looking up, taking directions from the sun.

Save him, she thought; She felt him slipping through the cracks.
You can be all his reasons without questions asked.
You can pull him together and make the rest the past.
Save him, he's slipping through the cracks.
Love him, he'll feel it when he's sane.
You can be the excuses and carry all the blame.
You can bear the burden that engulfs his raging brain.
Love him, and maybe he'll stay sane.

Save her, he thought; He felt her slipping through the night.
She loses self control and she forgets what's right.
You can hold her together and make her want to fight.
Save her, she's slipping through the night.
Love her, she'll feel it when she's awake.
You can be her safety when she can't be tamed.
You can mend the affliction her troubled mind has made.
Love her, and maybe she'll awake.

On paper this is bad. I'm possibly the worst you'll ever have. This isn't good. Listen to your friends, you really should. I'm a mess. Politically incorrect in a dress. I'm a fool. And I'm heels over head in like with you. On paper this won't last. You're the type to love and leave her fast. This won't work. Wild and possessive, you're a ****. You're too free. And you're heels over head in like with me.
On paper it says that we are never gonna happen, basically. We're not smart. If we stay together, we'll come apart. "We won't learn," says the crinkled paper.

Well, let it burn.

Your silence is hurting my ears.
Your expression breaks my heart.
Your indecision of where I stand is tearing me apart.
Your questions burn my brain.
Your statements smite my words.
You can see right through me...
That's not even the worst.
Your distance breaks my body.
Your disappointment makes me cry.
You're ashamed to just be near me...
I can see it in your eyes.
My weakness makes you angry.
My mistakes cause you pain.
My disregard for the love surrounding
is driving you insane.
My words speak out in circles.
My thoughts are out of line.
My irrational explosions
are cutting you inside.
My raging brain is affecting
My lack of knowing what to do.
My only glue to solid ground...
My only way is you.

Dear *,

Please forgive me, I'm not paying attention.
Things on my mind, that I'm refusing to let in,
have taken over and I'm feeling rejected.
******* heart and my mind is infected
with twisted words and they're starting to set in.
My brain is soaked and I'm acting decrepit;
I'm freaking out and I forget how to help it.
Please don't mind my belligerent melt down,
I don't mean it but I mean it for right now.
My thoughts break off and I'm screaming about how
I went crazy and why I'm staying there for now.
Stomp on me and try to toss me around;
my ragdoll syndrome is taking it's last bow.
Forget this, but I really despise you.
You twist my words and you ******* unglued.
Throw out my heart and it's shattered; well that's cool.
I'll break your back with all my burdens you'll go through.
It's no big, but I'm feeling relentless.
I try to sleep but my body is restless.
I toss and turn but my thinking is endless
just imagining the ways I insult you, my princess.
Say you're a man but it makes no difference;
I try to tease (and I'm a good temptress),
you pass it up like it's of no interest.
Make up your mind; I'm starting to feel stressed.
Don't even tell me you aren't paying attention.
Things on my mind, that you're refusing to let in,
have taken over and you're feeling objective,
empty mind and your heart is rejected.
Believe my words and they're starting to set in.
My brain is soaked and my writing is decrepit...
I'm freaking out and I'm not gonna help it.
Remember this, I'm a force to be messed with.
I'll twist your words and I'll call it semantics.
No need to yell, your words never sink in.
You'll sleep better if you let me just win this.
I lost my point but I'll place the blame on you.
I digress, not like it's such big news.
Why stay here? I've been feeling the abuse
of abandonment and all of its issues.
I try to block, but blocking is misuse,
I try to stop, I can't help it...
I miss you.
Forget this letter, I know it won't get through.
Just keep on leaving. I'll get over it so soon.

Fill me with your hollow words and let truth be replaced.
Love me with your empty heart, I see nothing in your face.
Kiss me with your boring lips, I see right through this man.
Look through me like I'm a ghost, forget about who I am.
Touch me with your unsure hands, before they had a map.
Make love to me like it's a job, then roll over and take a nap.
Speak like all the words you say are just words I want to hear.
I see you and your guilty twitch, let's just make that clear.
Don't fool me with chivalry, leave if you want to go.
Don't act as if I won't be fine; you're not everything I know.
Fill you with my hollow words and let truth be replaced.
Love you with my empty heart, you see nothing in my face.
