You were your own special motion
Putting things in my head, every notion
Every thought I couldn't trust as my own
It was easier though, than thinking alone

Words as deep as and endless ocean
But felt so strong like an explosion
I couldn't tell you why, or the effect
For all the best things happen, while the world slept

Could you catch me in the stars at night?
Would you hold me close until the light?
Every dream woven into intricate moments
So delicate that you are afraid to hold it

The suspense breathtaking in its own beauty
A choice; torn between duty and duty
To love one master and hate another
Like a child will obey it's mother

Words like footprints on an endless shore
A beat in my head, but I don't know what for
You know, even if you don't know how to understand
Do all your words come out the way you planned?

So sharp, yet bitter sweet in my mouth
Like a compass that can only point south
Your eyes a dark shadow on me
Following every fall and flutter, yet still fine

The smoke so thick I could float away
You pulled me to earth and made me stay
Try to go as far away as my broken bones could fly
But I soon saw that this was no sky

Just and illusion of a desperate prisoner
Still struggling, but the key was to be a listener
Small words and tighter breaths out of a loveless lung
Like a bird in the street that has already sung

Would it be enough to have it all, for you?
I could if all up for you, if only you knew
Don't leave any little piece of me behind
Because the littles parts are the hardest to find

I would wish to be kind, but I'd be no longer
Be me, I'd be a shadow, no stronger
I live not to please or be pleased in this life
Only to leave deep impact like a knife

To live in your heart and never be alone
To be still and strong like a stone
To never give up, but never move on
To simply know, it was me all along
The other night. These were my words.
