I'd ask you questions for hours
Found out that you don't like getting flowers

You told me that your favorite time is 12:34
I told you that i liked to sleep on the floor

We learned each others ups and downs
Learned how to lift the other up from a frown

I would like to see the two
That are closer than me and you
Robert Fox Nov 2013
Now what is the most important thing
Of which i could sing?
Is it the kisses i wish i could send you?
And the hugs that would go along too?
Or maybe just your touch
To feel your fingers lightly brush
Across my skin and now i know

The thing of which i must sing
Its the feeling i get when i think
Of our lips brushing together
Of your arms twined around me forever
This weightlessness after your touch
I recognize this feeling that makes me blush

The most important thing
Of which we can sing
Are the butterflies that linger on
Everytime i realize you're that amazing song
That i could listen to all day long
My perfect day
Wrapped up in the perfect way
A way i can hug and kiss
And get butterflies from just like this
Robert Fox Oct 2014
We never had enough time
to romp and stomp and chyme

through fields and glades
like jolly little milk maids

but we still got lost in the by and by.
We waded through the sky
and chanced upon our first lie.

That we would live forever
that we could grow old together

but it will never be better than now.

But those were the days
When we lived in a happy haze.

Life was a dream
A melancholy scheme

to send us to the depths of sadness

to the depths of cold
where we will truly grow old
alone but bold
for truly we lived a life of gold.
Robert Fox Jul 2013
“Anxiety”

Hell awaits seething
As flames flow bleeding
Through my fingers burning
The tears in yearning
Shed in payment red
For my shadows dead
All they sought was redemption
For falling to temptation
Never stopping to think straight
Judgment I laid down on their fate  
Only to find the light
Was always in the right
Again I have fallen prey
To everything the voices say
Anxiety...Anxiety
Its all I can hear
...
Next all I can see
....
I'm sinking beneath
.....
The weight of this sheet
......
Being pulled over my face
.......
Now I share with them their fate
Robert Fox Apr 2014
I'd really like to think
My most repeated phrase
Is 'I love you', but i'm afraid
The truth of my life today
That my most repeated phrase
Is 'I'm sorry', but it's true
I am sorry, oh so very sorry,
That it makes me cry the words
'I love only you'
but that I know is true
Robert Fox Nov 2016
Rolling thunder from its waves
Crashing lightning upon its shores
A ship battered forever in the sea
This is all the chaos and contradiction
A storm left raging deep inside me
Robert Fox Feb 2015
Looking inward I see out
into blackness into doubt
A deep dark that screams
it rips apart my life at the seams
A lack of surety stoops me low
like a burden no one else knows
But I will stand up straight and tall
I will not falter or fall
for I hold the sky above you all
Robert Fox May 2013
“Battlecry”

Battles rage and chaos gains a hold in every heart
But through all wars and endless fears

An end will come to all who seek
To tear the veil of reigning peace

My battle cry will end the fray
For my voice it shall be heard
Robert Fox Sep 2013
Dont fight.
Were never right.
They say go fly a kite
Im tired of being out of sight
I want to be a guiding light.
Or i may run away tonight.
To a place thats ever bright

We can sing.
We can make their houses ring
With all the change we bring
They are done playing king
Lets make them feel the sting

Of that burn
We thought we had to earn
Now ive learned
Our tide can turn
Lets make the oceans churn
Robert Fox Apr 2014
Beauties knot Is tied so taut
It breaks the strongest chains

Yet the beauty I behold in you
Is stronger still by far

It shines out radiant as my star
It binds us, me to you
Robert Fox Sep 2014
I'm not sure when I realized it
Or even what "it" really is
But I know deep down inside
You will always be a part of me
And I don't know if that's all it's cracked up to be
Still, I really hope that it is better
That we stay *together
Robert Fox Dec 2013
I have almost died
I'll even admit that i have tried
But every time i took a leap
Everytime i landed in a crumpled heap
A little part of me would always know
That you both would willingly show
My broken, battered, beaten mind
That there is always something new to find
In this terribely tilted, lop sided life of mine
Robert Fox Apr 2014
A lamppost a faded hope
The ring a dying sting
Owls and brooms now empty rooms
But wait and see
that I'll not so easily be
Brought up and raised
To cease these stories praise
For though I wrinkle and gray
They will forever stay
Near to my heart
dear to that childlike part
Robert Fox Sep 2013
The wind and rain
Soon to be sleet and snow
These misted moors
Running to and frow

The leaves are falling
Clouds begin calling
For sheets of rain
And blankets of snow

Its winter or fall
Its cold outside for all
So bundle all up
In your blankets and furs

The time for carrols and rakes
And whited out states
Is running our way
But were here to stay
Robert Fox May 2013
“Complacency”

One day
we will pay

The price of freedom
the price of love

For we see them not
till they are gone

Like shadows we sought
to hold them to long

When bells ring
and people sing

The night will come
to blacken the sun

While cadence of war
makes the world so poor

Our reasons are wrong
like an evening dawn

Now we look
at what we took

Seeing the cost
we mourn the lost
Robert Fox Mar 2014
If i were to say "What day is today?"
Would you answer with good or bad or somewhere lost in yesterday
What would you say, if i asked you to stay
With me the whole long day?
If you could would you leave everyone else anyway?
Robert Fox May 2013
“Dearest Friend”

Friends will come and friends will go

They are rare as diamonds in the snow

Hold them tight till love do you part

To let them change and bloom and grow

Love them now and love them then

Your dear dear oh dearest friend

Memories held dear are worth many a tear

But dwell not long lest they turn to fear

For love is strong and often kind

Though still it burns so often blind

We do not know how fast it goes

As it never leaves behind any foes

So look not back nor left and right

I’ll hold your hand through the darkest night
Robert Fox Feb 2014
Don't be sad
We have done nothing bad

The problems others cause
Will not give our friendship pause

Tears by the way side
Laughter will reside

Its alright, its okay
Our courage may fail, but not this day
Robert Fox Jul 2013
Swim against the rising sun
Learn to live a life of fun

Dont go bad
Because youll just go mad

With all the pain
So then whats left to gain

Save fear and doubt
Just take them out

Let them die
And try not to lie

As i have cried
And nearly died

From pain caused by you
With all that you do
Robert Fox May 2014
I could get lost in space
Hide away from all the pain
Every guilty tear in this place
Each and every blood stain
That i hid from just in case
Anyone found then tried to chain
But in the end i come face to face
With my guilt, my evermore bane
Robert Fox May 2013
“Eyes Kept Open”

Open not till given the choice
To open or lie about what you eye

For I can see whose fingers hold
What my heart protects from the cold
Robert Fox May 2013
“Free Smiles”

Your smile shines through
To all that I do

Makes my life
A much happier place

From your half smile smirking
To your eyes in which lay lurking

The yearning to be
Together and free
Robert Fox Feb 2015
I only smoke when I'm stressed,
So basically all the time.

But I'll never outrun these demons
As long as the dead are on my mind.

Yet somehow its too much to ask of anyone,
If they'll just be a friend of mine.
Robert Fox Oct 2014
Silvery white shines the moon tonight

As it peaks out and beams,

I think maybe I see

A little sad smile,

just the slightest of smirks

Two crinkled eyes,

on a face that would make you cry

Its the full moon,

That makes the night feel like my day
Robert Fox May 2013
“goodbye”

Don't think
Don't even blink

The stories are coming
The songs are humming

Rising to ****
All those who fill

All imagining dreaming
And pictures sinking

My stories are stirring
The beasts are luring

Don't look
Don't leave

They know your names
Just as they know my shames

I had them under control
Until I tried to console

The monsters I made
Then put in a cage

But I broke
And then they spoke

For When I thought
Is when they fought

Now I see
My burning tree

Its my heart
The very start

Of love and laughter
Along with all i've sought after

But their souls are screaming
As flames flow bleeding
Through my fingers burning
The tears in yearning
Shed in payment red
For my creations dead

Every time I would die
One of them might fly

Afraid I deny their freedom
And sacrifice them fearing

Their fate
Is mine now late

So goodbyes are long
Since soon i’ll be gone

From all this light
And the ceaseless fight
goodbye
Robert Fox May 2013
“Good Old U.K.”

The sky is gray
And the valley is green

Over meadows of clover
In the fields of Dover

From cliffs of white
To Irish bar fights

Theres no other place
With such a wonderful face

The people who stood
And symbolized good

Through past and present
Seeing a future so pleasant

We will see it someday
That good old U.K.

Her cities and streets
And towering feats

Back down to the lowest
Old village thats slowest
Robert Fox May 2013
“Growing Pains”

Fire will die and water will dry
Tears will cease and weeping end in a sigh

Trees they wither while hearts must lye
Broken cracked and bleeding memories of the sky

But lightning strikes and kindles flame
While rain clouds gather to bring the same

Another day of growth and strife
That wets the earth to bring new life
Robert Fox Mar 2015
I'm not sure
If I know
What you
Always mean

I'm not sure
If I like
What I
I always say

But I don't
Need to care
Because you
Are never there
Robert Fox Dec 2013
Im not quite sure
I cannot be certain
And theres room for doubt
As there always is
Right after the final curtain

But nothing is certain
And im certain and sure
So surely i must have done something wrong

To feel no doubt
But still need to shout
How my life is concrete
But my confidence is quite obsolete

Its a problem, i know
But i still cannot show
The things that i feel
Because i promised not to go

For this life of pain
Is worth every chain
So long as those i love
Know that this love was to me a gain
Robert Fox Oct 2014
If I lived the life I chose
I'd be alone all the time

But if I lived alone and sad
You never could be mine

So I will live among the mass
Of people looking in thru the glass

Looking at my life, my choices
Always chiming in with their voices
Robert Fox Mar 2015
Its a feeling deep inside
Its a whisper on the air
Its a stirring in the branches
That life, is about to care

Like a rushing wind
And chiming bell
The trees are yelling
And the clouds are billowing

It comes like a storm
And shines like the moon
It will strike fast as lightning
With a voice soft as thunder

It blinds your eyes
But you can't look away
Its shining like sunbeams
This happiness inside
Robert Fox Dec 2013
No one will care when im dead
No one will visit me in my hospital bed

No one ever had anything nice to say
Probably because people didnt like me anyway

Ide call you all ***** ******* cowards
If i thought there was a lie in any of your words

But theres not so i'll just stop and nod
Or i would if i wasnt buried six feet under this sod
Robert Fox Mar 2014
Voices murmur in the wind
Whispering thoughts of old
Telling tales of golden days
Never to behold
Walls they murmur back and say
"Golden days are only those
In which we find our yearning"
Robert Fox Mar 2015
Everyone seems not to be alone
Everyones tounge has an ear

Its a cliché old tale,
Alone in a room filled with the pale

But I see others in my place
And I fear we're a different race

We see the happiness and life
but then why do we only feel strife?

I think we don't really know
how to stand on our own and go

To leave and never look again
at the faces that aren't in pain
Robert Fox Nov 2013
You left me cold
I left you mourning

I took your light
You made me a fighter

Now we are back in this place
The one filled up with all this hate

Together we will light up our world!
Forever we will fight the end of the night!

With the moon so bright
I will kiss you in just the right way

Just like never before
We will pour it all out!

Live our dreams as a reality!
Be able to shout and say!

Anything we wanted to do we did!
Everything we wanted to give we gave!

All the time we have to say!
Every time we **** up theres a new day!

Any way we want to live we say
Any way we want to live we live!

But my heart aches
While yours cries in pain

I thought a ring
Would fix everything

You warned me
I was wrong to think so!

As if you could be bought
It was a stupid thought
Robert Fox Jul 2013
Let me tell you about a boy
Who developed a brilliant ploy

To bend the mind
And befuddle the soul

So he would not be alone
Sinking sinking, as a stone

Thrown from his own hand
Yet never to reach dry land

For he was not good enough
Never could he be so tough

As he was natures friend
To the very bitterest end

But his nature betrayed him then
While he sought to send

Letters long with words so strong
That none could lift them save through song
Robert Fox Aug 2014
Beauty demands to be seen
Love demands to be sought after
Life demands to be lived
Pain demands to be felt
and Death demands to be dealt with

But beauty needs to be shown
love needs to be given
life needs an example
pain needs to be parted with
and death needs no logic
Robert Fox May 2014
If the sky wasn't blue
Or if peoples words we're never true
Even if pigs had wings
Or if we were all made out of string
I would still sing to you
Or at the very least I would try to
So when you need me near
Remember that i hold you dear
Especially when you are sad
Or when you're very mad
Because I love you more than air
And i would do anything to make life fair
Robert Fox May 2013
“Little Blue Box”

As blue as the sea, opened with a key
Bigger than it looks though we may never see

That rumbling box whose breaks are locked
I speak of course of Private Calls and broken laws

Of a hero once thanked and his little blue box
Robert Fox May 2013
You had the key to set me free
So you opened up my chest to see

The heart that loved you pounding
Red and blue and very sad sounding

For though you opened up the chest
My heart you left inside to rest

As a small silver box
Still covered in locks

But never opened it rusted old
Till naught was left but purest gold
Robert Fox May 2013
“Lonesome Soul”

I cannot read
I cannot write

I do not see
So i do not fight

The dark is light
And my wrong is right

When can i fly
Or when will I die

When stars do fall
Perish will we all

Shadows run and hide
As the sun does rise

Now let me be
As you may see

The scars and lies
With the endless skies

For you will fade
As I lay in this bed i made
Robert Fox May 2013
“Love of a Storm”

The storm may come the storm may go
I use it for good I use it for woe

I am the wing of the storm the storm who has no wing
For when I fly I storm and blow

I swoop and carry all who cannot go
Another step toward unending goal

They know me not but praise me so
For i have no face but wind and snow
Robert Fox May 2013
“Lying the Truth”

The loneliest souls
Have fought the hardest wars

An the darkest sight
Has seen the brightest light

No one is happy forever
But everyone is lonely together

Forgive me when i'm cruel
For I alone am the fool

All this is true
As I write only to you
Robert Fox May 2013
“Lyrics”

We wait for the boxcar waiting
To take us away from being alone

A big big stone falls and
Breaks your thorny crown

A boy a girl a friend a boe
All will be a part of your heart to go

For a ride far away far
Only on the boxcar waiting

If along comes your man
Will i become a sideshow

When along walks my girl
I'll ask for you to lie

Because i love you more
Than anyone should like to say

Since you're my girl
Then let me be your guy

You and I on the fly
From all our past and all our pain
me
Robert Fox Aug 2013
me
I'm me, and me isn't such a bad thing to be.
I am me, and me is a terrible thing to be.
Robert Fox Nov 2013
Have you ever forgotten an appointment?

Or maybe a birthday that was full of dissapointment?

Imagine forgetting weeks?

Loseing days!

Can you comprehend the terrible ways?

The torment that ensues?

Now go one step further

Follow me a few steps more in ferver.

I dont want your sympathy.

I need you to comprehend

To simply understand

I lost ten years of my life, and i cant bring them back.

Still i forget, never do i know

If these words were mine

You all are to kind.

For kindness does nothing to help me find

The lost years or missing months

These sprinkled days filled with that ticking clock

Im talking about some serious memory loss
Robert Fox Jun 2013
A freak with a gift
The beast able to lift
The very sky
And hold it high
But no one sees
No one heeds
Its whimpers of pain
They only want to gain
Control of a monster
Who tries to say he lost her
His beauty and love
When he reached up above
To help all of you
He lost her too
Now he is alone
Frozen to the bone
With fear and doubt
Unable to shout
That he needs his life
His love his wife
The only one who never screamed
But looked up and beamed
At this monster so strong
Who no one had loved for so long

So run and hide
Any who seek to guide
This giant will
Let loose and ****
Anyone between him
And his most precious gem
You wont be cut
Or clawed and shut
In a coffin cold
Filled with mold
He needs no weapon save his eyes
For they will pierce through your lies
Laying bare your soul
Leaving just a gaping hole

You will die, you will fade
But he cannot, for there will always be shade
Robert Fox Jan 2015
There is a place
where no one goes
Where darkness is your friend

Where birds and bees,
and other thieves
Can never steal your heart

Now i don't know
just where ya been
Or where your goin to.

But i don't care,
as long as I
Get to go there too

The trees they laugh,
the clouds they cry
And all the others inbetween,

just sit and stare
at no one there,
at all the empty dreams

Wolves howl at night
But They've lost their fright
To all we say and do

And it makes me sad
When you are glad
That we don't care no more
Robert Fox Jul 2013
If i ever say goodbye
While we are standing face to face
Just know you should cry
As never again will i chase you
Through the sky so high

I will fall through the hall
For my world is tipped on its side
And i tumble and call
In my quietest voices I try to hide
From the people of my life so small

What if I leave and die
Will you fall out of the sky
If I never said goodbye
Robert Fox Aug 2013
When my hope is gone
Like my favorite song
And the night draws to its end
I see a light so cold and bright
As it creeps over the land to write
Its name in plain sight
Of the world just waking
But i can feel the earth quaking
Under the feet of history making
Its daily rounds of toll taking
This has to stop, we have to fight
For the prize of unending night
Then no longer will we fear the light
Instead we can stay together
Forevermore suspended as a feather
In time not falling
Rather listening to it calling
Never again parting ways
We will never face the fall of days
Stay free
Don't ever be
Afraid of the dark
For it is the spark
Of a new dawn
Time moving on
