Dusk has fallen,
And the day is done
The sky is receding,
For the night has just begun

Every branch of a tree has its turn
No matter the edges or the curves
It's always a story we will learn
Give this tree the love it deserves

The buds awoke and began to grow
Beneath the soil, onward they go
Force nothing and let things happen
Just like life, go with the flow

Sometimes,
When we try to look for answers, it leaves us with more questions
Sometimes,
When we overthink everything, we suffer from nothing but depression
Sometimes,
We make sense of our surroundings by holding onto things we believe in
Sometimes,
We just have to let go of we've been
Sometimes,
We're just tired and need somewhere to begin

Give me back my dreams and my fantasy
That's the only way for me to live
Don't stop talking
Your voice is my favourite lullaby
As you raise your lips to reach mine  
I could taste you in my tongue
Boy, I certainly couldn't breathe
Your hands wrapped around my hips
My legs glided across your knees
Your chest against mine
Two hearts beating as one
I wish I could tell you everything I want to say
Everything you need to hear before you walk away
I'm sorry I'm not the one you fancy

Set yourself free.
Let yourself go.
Let the lights shine bright.
It's hard to be dull in the darkest of the night.
My heart is broken, with words unspoken.
What's broken cannot be unbroken.
What's joy without pain?
They say that the best kind of love is insane.
Instead, we hurt each other over and over again.
We could pretend that everything's going to be okay.
Deep down in our hearts, we know the pain's going to stay.
Let's keep our heads up and laugh in each other's embrace.
So we can walk away with grace.

Don't promise me forever
I just want us to live in the moment
And love each other one day at a time
Because it's now or never

I don't say a lot of things
Not because I love you less
Who knows what the future brings
You're my precious, nonetheless

If your eyes could speak
The way you batted your eyelashes robs me of my insanity
I try to pull myself away from you
But your beauty just throws me intro frenzy
Darling, my curiosity is piqued

A city of blinding lights
An archipelago of unearthed minds
Take away the tension
Let the creativity flow
No matter the darkness of this road we go
There's always a great story waiting to be told

You are...
A song I can't get out of my head
The words I never said
The love I never had
A memory I can't forget
Everything I regret

Step off the edge
Live life a little
Caught in waves of uncertainty
Shrouded by self-pity
Drowned in empty hopes
But you won't crumble

Take a walk on the edge
Feel your fears tremble down your spine
The storm may rage, the thunders will clap
Amid the darkness
The light in your eyes will shine

I've got this big map in my head
Pondering over which route to take
I've always wanted a perfect life
Hoping to be someone's faithful wife
I try not to worry about making mistakes
Keeping my head up even when my heart breaks
If life was meant to be perfect
"This is too good to be true," I would have said

I've been searching
For the right words to say
My heart's aching
For you to stay
Since the day you walked away

This one is for the dreamers, the Walter Mitty(s), star-gazers
People who never stop going after the infinite possibilities in the world
No dream is too big,
Keep your head up and follow what you believe in
Nor the dreamer is too small
Never stop chasing everything you've imagined

Hold me tight
Let's not fight
We only got tonight
To make things right

We don't have forever
It's now or never
To cherish and to hold
Till we grow old

As the day fades into night,
Where the stars shine bright
They mingle, they dance like clusters of delight
A quiet evening beckons me
With a glass of red and a nice cool breeze
That gently caresses my face
To ready myself for a good night's embrace

We're the kind of mess people see as art
We have flaws people see as curves and edges
We have scars that remind people of our defeat, pain and struggles
We're a map of everything we've been through

Her emotions run dry
She's out of tears to cry
The sky looks grey
As if it's got something to say

She longs for his love
Consumed by desire and lust
Even when ashes turn to dust
He's the only thing she thinks of

So many wasted nights
Of endless fights
Unspoken words
Need I say more
We're no longer what we used to be before

Your eyes are filled with lies
I just realised
I'm not complaining
You're just a lesson I'm learning

Please believe me
It's all you can say
Just to make me stay
This isn't easy
While I just want to be free

The past's been written
And the ink ran dry
The future's uncertain
Time's going to flash past us
In the blink of an eye

Put your hand on mine
Wrap your arms around me
Our love need not hurry
Because love should be free and easy

We don't need to worry
Our love is always simple
There's no need for a change
It's simple as it should be

****, you say
Laugh, you make me
Cry, I break you
Anger, you fear me

The clock strikes three
No place I'd rather be
Allow me to say something
It's heartbreaking to see
What we've created is gone
Now, we're moving on
I'm tattered and torn
Before my heart is reborn

Hearts are fickle
Minds are unstable
Words becomes lies
There's no truth in their eyes

Words unspoken
Hearts got broken
A kaleidoscope of joy, sorrow and pain
A life not wasted in vain.

Life can be strange, sometimes
One way or another
It makes no sense, yet it rhymes

There’s no way of telling
Where our lives are going
Well,  then don’t stop trying

Risk everything you have for freedom
Fuel your passion with all you got
Feed your lust for everything you believe in
For there's a compass in your heart that lies within

The days are getting shorter
The nights are getting longer
Time to rest my heart a little
Onward to the next chapter, my dear

There is a time
When silence isn't quiet
It's getting harder to breathe
My heart is in a constant riot

Life's on a merry-go-round
Wherever I'm going
It's spinning in circles
I'm finding my way around

From the first day i met you,
You're a memory
From that day you walked away,
You became history
Till the day we meet again,
Your scent is the only accessory I wore
Till my heart aches again,
I cannot ask for more

Words unspoken
Her heart is broken
Stubborn to quit  
Her love for him was far too great
She couldn't admit

You're my sweetest downfall
A beautiful mistake
Breaks my bones
Still, I'm standing tall

Caught in a riptide
Lost between my head and my heart
Hair disheveled and a wounded pride
All these roads lead me back to the start

Holding my breath
And count to ten
My heart left me by a quiet death
Just to feel alive, once again.

I know that we have not been the same lately
I know that there are times when I look at you
I feel like I barely know this person anymore
What hurts me is that you probably feel the same too
And there's no other way than me struggling to keep us alive
While your heart's somewhere else

You're the first person I think about
When I wake up in the morning
You're the last person in my mind
Before I go to sleep
Thinking about you is where my nightmares have vanished
So my sweet dreams can begin

You're leaving
It's time to go
The engine's running
I knew this day was coming
Your mind's made up
About leaving us behind
For a new place to begin

Till our love runs out
There's nothing you can ever doubt

Till our faith runs dry
My actions will not lie

Till our hope fades into nothing
It's love, not war we're making

Stir my soul
Not my goal
Face my fears
Leave no tears
Time ticks by
Your heart won't lie

Paths less taken
Faces with no souls
Voices unheard
How many hearts have been broken?

Torn and tattered
Hair dishevelled
Hatred and lust, they bind
With their souls left behind

As the world comes crashing down on your face
I'll be here to give you a warm embrace
That's where you'll find me
You won't have to chase

On nights like these
I thought that I was doing fine
Just when I could love again
It's a pity, you're not mine

On nights like these
I wish to hear your voice  
Yet, I couldn't
Not by choice

The world is an unfair place
Much to my dismay
The humans lack grace
We didn't write the rules
It just happens that way

Under the vast night sky,
Blanketed in darkness
You're the only star I see
Perhaps my only glimpse of happiness
Only to remind me
A lot can change in the blink of an eye

I end tonight with a heavy heart
Followed by a new day
I look forward to a brand new start
Get my motor running
And pick myself up from where I part
This is where I tell myself to be strong and keep my head up

Life's not going to tell you which route to take
We all make mistakes anyway
Life didn't promise you a bed of roses
We regret the things we say
We feel bitter about the chances we didn't take
But that's okay
Stay true to yourself, follow what your heart says
Good things come to those who wait

The air feels heavy
My lungs can't take the weight
My sight is getting blurry
It's getting late

I'm lost and a wandering soul
With nowhere else to go
Am I getting old?
Or just waiting for uncertainty to unfold?

Walk away from
Anything that tries to dim your sparkle
Anything that's holding you back
Anything that's not making you happy
Anything that's not making you grow

It's time to let go, darling

Let go of
Things that make you sad
Things that bring you down

This is when you break free

If your eyes could speak
The way you batted your eyelashes robs me of my insanity
I try to pull myself away from you
But your beauty just throws me intro frenzy
Darling, my curiosity is piqued

I've been told before
That it's typical of me to talk about our past
Fraught with shadows of our lives
Stricken with love and lust

I've been told before
That I'm broken
Time is going to heal the pain
So I could love again

I've been told before
That I'm a fighter
Clothed in courage
Who's ready to take the stage

I'm standing alone here
In a crowded place
I can't see your face now
My heart begins to race

I'm standing alone here
My mind is an empty space
Slipping at the edge
For there's nothing left to erase

Your wound seems to take a while to heal
Got hurt young, and now you're older
Trapped in solitude, built a fortress of fear
Stuck in the past with days turning colder

You look like a mess right now
Emotions have run dry
With no tear left to cry
Let me hold you, if you allow

Your heart looks like it wants to bleed
Drifting out of nowhere
Grieving the loss of hopes and dreams
I will tell you all the things she never did

I'll be gentle as I can
It's hard to love someone again  
Let it go, let me hold you tight
I will show you what it feels like to be loved again
For you're safe in my hands

You are what you become
You become what you make
You make what you have within
What you have within brings you to where you are
Wherever you are results from what you really are.

Born in a thunderstorm
I was on my own
All these years
I lived with the tides
I'm still breathing
Boy, am I glad to be alive

You can take a stab at my heart
And rip it apart
Over and over again
I flinch at the pain
You wouldn't know
But you just take it slow
While I go with the flow
Never have I thought
I could deal with such a blow
