In My Bones

yes when I'm alone i do great things

i do spectacular things that no one ever sees

when i am alone i dare to dream

dream up a life that even i would believe

 

because i can feel the marks from your tears

i can tell you need something greater

even after all of these years

of being your own dictator

 

so i dream up a time

a place for you and i

where the hours dont mind

and we can be ever so shy

 

because i can feel your need

for something that believable

I've witnessed your eyes plead

for something this inconceivable

 

you want someone to digest your thoughts

and feed you sides of romance

the kind, that never rots

and happens only by chance

 

so i consume your phrases

and prepare a feast for you to hide

a place for all my praises

somewhere you can abide

 

because i can feel your pain

as i watch that grin take its place

you're holding on like drops of rain

and its written all over your face

 

afraid to let yourself fall

in fear that you might splatter

but then again aren't we all

for then we'll cease to matter

 

so i kidnap your heart

which the others think so eternal

and i watch you fall apart

into me, like your journal

 

your fragile little being

somehow capable of lies

no one ever seeing

the beauty in your eyes

 

because all of this i know

how it feels to not be real

to wear your expressions for show

and let the backseat take the wheel

 

but now that i can feel you

and see that you're the one

just what the hell am i supposed to do

since the battle has already been won.
