Is it truly vanity to not settle for the mundane? I want to drink the champagne stars hold the Moon in my arms, kiss the Sun in all his glory have the Night fall in love with me. You call me insane for not wanting to be contained, for wanting to swim in the sea of the universe for wanting to speak the language of the cosmos. Why should I have to explain the need to slide down a rainbow, for wanting to swallow planets whole and become celestial, that yearning to immerse myself in all that is strange and wonderful.

Hubris
All of my best (And worst) thoughts Can be traced Back to a foreign city Where I walked the streets Alone, at night

Take my clothes One bag Forget the sentimentals Start again Quit my job Free again Open my mind Just roaming Tell no one Just go To where next Who knows No plans needed Just wanderlust Dessert Sea Snow Baring all Never ending journey Forever going A lost soul Just wondering

Pieces
zooming, zipping, speeding by the air rushing by me as the spokes spin freely, gravity pulling me down I outstretch my arms, and the wind lifts me high above the restraints of this world until the hill ends and I clasp back onto those worn handles once more bracing for the cracks in the walkway 'always be back when the street lights come on' little creatures, sitting peacefully under an evergreen, only a little way into the old woman's lawn a teal bike thrown quietly to the side and crouch and creep slowly into the late afternoon sheltered by luscious green ceilings above me, and the slight purr of a fur ball in front. 'always be back when the street lights come on' the sun is setting quickly but the bats always come out around now an abandoned school with overgrown grass serves a grand hotel for my nocturnal friends here they come a large rain cloud of echo chirps and the flitter of paper thin wings catching air 'always be back when the street lights come on' the bridge water rushing quickly by, it must have somewhere to be the glowing moon settling above content prancing thoughts of dancing on those ripples and tickling the streaming moonbeams cross and a little heartbeat quivers trembles shakes "always be home when the street lights come on"

STREET LAMPS
You rolled down the window, and the cold air of the night rushed in. It pounds on me as a mad woman on the door of an ex-lover, And as it dissipated, it danced on my skin with feet of lead. I took this beating, because in the moment I enjoyed the pain; .The coolness of the kiss from an abusive mother. And she whispers in my ear that… I am alive.

Can we just hop on a train and go somewhere where we don't know the end destination? Right now, this very moment. No thoughts, no second-guessing, no packing, no questions asked. Let's just go and go and go and go. Late nights, early mornings, and long afternoons with no plans—just the blissful taste of random, spontaneous life. Life without responsibilities and reliability. Without lifelong goals, dreams, and expectations. Life without bills and internships to get to that job, to get to that job, to get to that job. Life without insurance. Life without the question of life without. Let's just hop on a train, right here, right now, this very moment. Don't question me, because if you do, I'll back out immediately—I know it.

Wonderlust
We made memories tonight. as we danced like snakes. on. stilts and Sinatra floated in the air, a one of a kind Polaroid printed in my memories. Smiled pollute these exuberant seconds, and although not one photo or video was taken, and I can't remember every detail I'll never forget the feeling. a feeling of purity. Oh! one of true living that I haven't felt since............. oh. I don't know. Life presents meaning in many ways, and priorities are made constantly... but being with you felt purposeful. step, one-two, losing count because your mixed laughter with mine makes me forget everything except how life is wonderful. A quick kiss on your soft brown hair as you drive away with the Blonde Haired Boy...... i don't know if it's the over-caffination this late, or the residue of giggles left on my brain, but I walk to the door and step in with a new found wonderlust for life

I fear if I don't spread my wings soon I'll start plucking my ******* feathers out I'll go crazy without a doubt I catch myself staring off into space Glued to what feels like the same place Can you see it in my eyes? No? I guess I've been practicing my lies Repeat repeat repeat Is this what my life's meant to be?

Bird Heart
Oh the world I want to see Anything and everything All the adventures out there to be had... The desires in my heart... They clash I want to travel the world But not without you Could we make it? Would you try? Help me make my dreams collide Ireland, Italy, Spain, France England, Australia, Austria, Japan All over England, then wherever calls to us So many places Such a short life... But... I'd give it all up to keep you by my side I want a family too... Kids of our own We can show them the world too After we've had our fun Oh the adventures, Oh the laughs Places to discover, People to meet Mountains, Oceans, Trees So much to do... So much to see... I have one question , Will you come with me? I make such big plans Create enormous ideas in my mind But I'm really bad at following through I can't live up to my own expectations Say? Do you think you could help me make my dreams a reality? I want to see the world so bad Write about all the experiences I have In the end there is only one thing to ask, Would you like to experience it together, cause oh won't it be better With you by my side My incredible lover for all of time

Imagine
you have no face and you have no place that you stay. I don't know your name or your age or the color of your hair. but you are mysterious. we speak the shortest of words. but our words have so much meaning. I have all of these feelings and questions and I'm unsure of what to do. what do you look like? who are you? your words, although short, are so caring and kind. what's it like in your mind? we are strangers and there are so many dangers but I like adventure and these thoughts are torture. so show me who you are. let's not be strangers any more.

Strangers
They said you cried to many tears so you drowned yourself in the ocean. Now I’m waiting on sandy white shores. Searching for the part of me left out in the wide open sea. Lately your face hides behind my eyelids.

Your voicemail is now my favorite soundtrack since they buried the singer
