All that you are not
All those scars you've got
Will lead you to the end
Where I've been watching the world sleep again

Breathe it in
Forget our sin
Forget our spoken names
We journey to that sacred place

I've always been lost
A silhouette of hopeless indifference
I've always been lost
A burning darkness in the distance

You are a silver dream of mine
My only reason that seems to bind
Your golden grace bestowed on me
Leads me to a sudden peace

Awash in starry ocean waves
We've chosen our graves
Death is awaiting a single thread
A pale golden hair from atop your head

Breathe it in
Forget our sin
Forget our spoken names
We journey to that sacred place

I've always been lost
A silhouette of hopeless indifference
I've always been lost
A burning darkness in the distance

I've always been lost
A silhouette of hopeless indifference
I've always been lost
A burning darkness in the distance

Pounding on the rib cage
Of this long lifeless love
No defibrillator
Can bring its spark back home

Dying by the minute
Point of no return
Long ago we killed it
By jealousy and scorn

Poisoned by corruption
Tortured by mistrust
Consented to death sentence
Inside our comfort zone

Trapped into this bedroom
The sheets turned icy cold
The levels of desire
Reminisce the North Pole

We lingered within four walls
Just not to be alone
Reminding us each hour
Where did it all go wrong?

The hostile winds are howling
This ship cannot be steered
Let’s sink it to the bottom
For once let’s be sincere

If we cut wide and open
The corpse of this dead love
We may not find a thing
That was worth fighting for

You’d like to do postmortem
Why don’t just let it go?
You might not like the causes
That killed this long dead love.

Yes, No,
Indecision loves me so,
Yes, No,
The only words I seem to know,
Yes, No,
Stormy mind yet silent tone,
Yes? No?
Yes. No.
yes? ugh, I don't know!?!?!

you bind me when you say
you want to spend your life with me
not a day or two
so i stay, i stay

you leave the door open for me to walk free
everyday
because you say
the times are not good, the time is not right

meanwhile i'm stuck in the air
waiting to fall
and you're out there
am i being restless to hear your final call

feeling guilty as hell
when you ask what you gotta do to make me believe
how do i tell
it's not what i need

for all I need is _
a word of reassurance when i'm low
to see you smiling
when you see me

i'm trying to take it slow ,
so i stay
for as long as i can endure
the apathy you show

And all you do
is avert your gaze
lower your eyes and walk away
because you say the time's not right

and i'm trying desperately
to end this plight
to call it a day
AND I APOLOGIZE FOR BEING TOO IMPATIENT

for all i ask is a word from you
once a day
if it's too much to ask, I'M SORRY
I cannot stay

"Probably"*
          
             leaves open
                
     the door of uncertainty,
      
             Just enough for

the breeze of possibility

The wind is brisk against my face
The leaves crunch beneath my feet
The colors are a dancing swirl around me
Haven't I been here before?

I walk these empty streets
With nothing but my thoughts
Fighting a war inside my head
Just like they have all those times before

It's funny how fast a year goes by
All those prologoned decisions we've postponed
Are suddenly at our doorstep waiting
I'm still lost, waiting to be found

But I've grown fond of the nostalgia
And the summer's indecision
Because when life has no real consequence
It's hard not to enjoy the ride

But everything has an ending
And how naive I was to think
That all of these delayed choices
Wouldn't catch up to me

And that's the thing about hearts
They're fragile just like glass
You can pretend the crack isn't there
But over time it shatters all there was

I said I'd have it all figured out
I said I needed just a little more time
But maybe the truth of it all
Is that I've known all along
That the ones who ignite our soul the most
Are not who we spend our lives with

And you will become spectator
To your own
