Was this a lesson? Meant to teach and hurt. Well honey I'm confessin' As I bleed out in the dirt. Cigarette ashes and daydreams Is where I've spent my time. Between growth and extremes It hits 2am, I hear the chime. 'Awake from this haze, It's different now You're having better days. It's different now.' Yet I lay on a dirt road High on petrol fumes On some kind of turbo mode As the storm looms. Blasted by soundwaves. Sand and grit in my eyes I glance at shallow graves Had anyone heard their cries? What's their story? Is it like mine? As complex and stormy? I speed on past. An unnatural high That I seem to outlast. A relieving sigh, The cigarette's finished, The high is still here, I am no less diminished In case that wasn't clear.

Cigarette Ashes and Daydreams
{Set I: Brandon} When I wake up, I want to only see you An adventure of a lifetime, all I say is 'Whoo-Hoo!' I love the way you sound when you're fatigued Those hands and how they fit between mine I want you in the picture when I succeed Pancakes, lemonade, it's almost 5 On the road to Niagara, with you I feel high You can play with your ruby hair and I'll smile When I look at you I know we can walk 500 miles Pancakes, lemonade, watching a colorful sunrise You'll be asking what I'm looking at with those eyes I'm just looking at the last piece to my puzzle

Pancakes W/ You at 4am
Under the bridge is your favorite red hot chili peppers song. You hurt your head skating the other day. You kissed a girl and she didn't call you back. You smoke Marlboro reds like they're good for you. You drink beer like it's water. You drink water like it's liquor. Your cigarette burns will go unnoticed by the new girl you're talking to. You flash a smile and my stomach drops.

I find it a bit intrusive how you talk to me in my sleep simply to hear the secrets I keep.

Sleep Talking
Late nights Turn to early mornings Crowded beds Become more appealing When you’re wrapped up in someone’s arms Only sleep for maybe an hour But it doesn’t matter Your mood couldn’t have soured Being pressed up against that warm body A hand resting on your side Your mind slowing down for once Different thoughts start to form Unsure of what to do You burry your face That hand moves though And soon You are face to face With entrancing eyes Chin tipped up just a bit Next thing you know That high you felt hours ago Is replaced with something better Their lips against yours You break apart Your don’t stop smiling for what seems like hours And all you do Is wish you had said what you thought Don’t stop

Don't Stop
