Lips like sunsets
See you begin to undress
Start to lose my head
Let's get magnetic
Make this life electric
I know you like it
I can feel you in my bones
Starting to feel a lot like home
You can be the lyric
On my melody
Let's get lost in the romantics

Welcome to the maw
An amazing party
You spotted me across the hall
Devilish smirk acting like it’s nothing at all
You’re starting to wish it’d all stop
The hours we talked
The itch
The doubt
Listening to me just humming along
Begging me to stop, knowing your crave for me is wrong
So, what if I told you we might just be on the same side
Take a leap, close your eyes
Cause, this is just the first act called the rooftop
Let’s sing your song
Watch the sun rise

I never chose to love you with my heart or mind
I chose to love you with all that my soul possesses
Lest my mind forgets and my heart ceases to dance
For in rumination that would be undying

Maybe I need to compromise
Although my dear, my way is heavy
I have been on the road
And I'm not quite sure which way to go
Searching through the constellations for one I can't seem to find
Hope your face lights up the sky and see the stars re-align
Can you come and rescue me?
Cause' babe we're getting lost out at sea
It's so lovely out here
Amongst the salt licked sympathies

Life’s filled with some really ugly things
Some of the worst moments
And life’s gonna throw them really hard
And you’re all at least once going to feel
As if the world and everything you know
Is simply falling apart

Except life didn’t know one thing
You are you
And every fight within your own mind
Every fiber of your being
Screams for happiness
And, you’re all beautiful
All works of art
Covered in your own tattoos
Colorless and full of scar tissue
So, don’t give me that ****
That you’re tired and can’t go on
Cause, life isn’t about these moments
That are pretty and beautiful
It’s about these moments
Where you feel like your shell is cracking
And you get to take a couple deep breaths
Just to take the next step in your day
That’s living
That’s life
Every single day
And it’s stupidly gorgeous

I stood head turned to the side
Feet buried in the sand
Watching the sun set behind you
Unaware of you're affect on the beach
Awestruck
As your curls melted into the glows
With the ocean screaming for me to run to you
In every crashing bellow of the tides
Although I a man of land and tree
Was hopelessly searching for a daughter of the sea
And we should meet where the sea and land shall meet

In an unrelenting fashion
My mind just craves what it can't seem to have
Thrones built on pretty lies
For you are insanity
To save my sanity
The conclusion is to fall in love with insanity
For there is the idea of falling
And I just want to rise
Except across the room
You have the high ground and line of sight
A divide, a moment apart
With thin floors and tall ceilings
The corners of the earth are just memories
The night is late, just show me the fall
To your dark fantasies

I often wonder if she feels as bad as I do
If she can't sleep at night
Without me lying next to her

Or if she misses the feel of my lips as much as I miss hers
My senses replay what has been lost in my mind over and over
The smell of her hair, The warmth of her body, and the tenderness of the back of her neck as my lips caresses her skin in bed

When I am alone I can hear the echoes of her laugh break the silence that fills the void of this empty house
I wake I roll over excited to see her face, just to be disappointed when she's not there
I feel my heart re-break into a million pieces all over again

I miss her delicate fingers entwined in mine
I miss so much more than just her body though
The snort when she laughs sometimes, her high pitched yawns, and the frantic little sneezes she could manage

Her unaware raising of the eyebrow that just happens as a natural cause of curiosity, oh how I loved that so much
The soft biting of her lip when anger consumed her

I lost a lot more that day than I care to admit
A best friend
A lover
My soul.

Everstrong
Mountains in the waves
Crossing the seas
Can't seem to find my home where we are
Watching seasons change
Roads with never ending adventures
I still hear you in the breeze
See your shadows in the trees
Letting go of memories
Standing tall in this world that I've made

I write of the seas a lot
It’s cause they still steal my breath away
To be honest they terrify me
They encase the ideas of freedoms
I haven’t known
For I am so ever trapped
Within my mind
Longing to be lost out at sea
On a sunny day
With no where calling my name
Pulling me to land
Looking for peace

Why does it sting?
When I see a comment or two
Liked by you and for all to see
Does my mind feel compelled to suffer?
I guess I’ll hope to figure that out tomorrow.
Like I always said
“There’s a line in Sensible Heart, I get so distracted by some people’s reactions, I don’t see my own faults for what they are.”
Except at times so self destructive
I’m here and you’re there
And there’s not a thought in between or so my mind tells me so

I love the proverbial highs
And I crave the providential lows
As we wander through the city of Lost Angels
Not really lost all
Just sight seeing
The beautiful and the ******
Looking for our own little hell
Soft whispers from devils
I'll bite your soul and you'll like it
Got her curlin' toes
And her smile getting wider
I can feel it in my bones
I'm catchin' visions of her soul
Watch her eyes roll back
Throwing the rights and wrongs down a deep black hole
Bending backwards
Pretending to care about the factors
Putting one another to the test
Having *** for breakfast

Mind over matter
She won't be told
Won't be thrown
Born a lion
So, reliant and defiant
Standing amongst the great giants
Asking let me be me
Let me speak, let me reach my peak
You're on fire
Green light, take flight
One life
Go faster

She's a lot like home
Warmth and Smell
A smile that lights up like the fireflies woven in the grass
A laugh like the good beats playin' on the vinyl with the windows open

She's brand new and she makes me feel good
She has me wanting to believe
Simple tidings come in actions not words

All that shines hasn't always been gold to me
She's got diamonds in her eyes tonight
Dazzle me with gold
Throw away your gold

There's a human in your heart of hearts
In the mirror you're a work of art
Not in it for the money, just in it for the thrill
Living in the moment

She's got me believing that she isn't hiding from her true colors, they use to make her fall apart and she wants this more than neon lights and wasted youth.

No ground beneath me
I fear my heart is
Sinking.

Maybe me not being able to have you
Is me having to pay for sins
I didn't know I had

Today you're year older
Just a little more wiser
Heart of golden beliefs and faith
Giving the unworthy countless attempts
To make you smile that infectious smile
To make those bright blue eyes shine
For as Skinny Love goes
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?
To the girl who's frightened by tiny insects
And who's laugh can be pinpoint located in even the most zealous of crowds
To the girl who finds herself as nothing, but a goofy bookworm
Oh man, to the girl who's voice puts our souls into motion
I just want to say
Happy Birthday

Can't I just sleep for now
Pages and pages of words
Nightmares and fallen shapes
This state of dreaming has left me numb
I lie here miserable
Why did god fail to improve us?
Maybe I'm just sleepwalking?
Visions of better times
Ascending hills and mountain tops
Watching the teardrops and acid rain
What if I'm the one that's awake?
You are all just sleepwalking
Can't we all just sleep for now?

I apologize
That I cannot seem to use
Enough words to describe
Your level of perfectness
I'm still slipping down this slippery *****
After all this time

Getting caught up choking on the air
These bones, they're black and charred from all the heavy years
We've lost control and life just so unclear
It's starting to feel like every day's the same fight
I know you just want to burn out
So, bright and be more than what you are
This half-life that you're leading, it just seems so ******* demeaning
Blocked and clouded by the smoke screen
But, I know you're doing all you can to stand again
The smoke will lift and you'll find what you've been searching for

A constant circle of being human
Trying to make eachother feel something
Bittersweet years gone away
Lost sense of taste
Colors most days seem to fade to grey
When you're alone in the bed you've made
So, dear if you're going to stay then stay
But, love if you're going to go
Make sure you make me feel something

I
Wish
That
I
Were
Not
Here
Tonight,
But
This
Is
My
Life

From birth
Born so **** insecure
Not ever believing if love is real
Disregard if we'll ever be sure
Cause' humans were born to feel
And in the shadows there's a place for us
Somewhere hidden they can't find our love
I was the trust and patience
You were the confident ways
And sometimes we're missing
Lost under the waves
I know it's alright, we've been under pressure
I believe, we'll make it through together

How discerning we are
Wrapped in boundless wants
Love accused as a non-believer
Maybe something's wrong with us
Honestly, in these times
It's better to be asleep
Testaments to the born dreamers
Stark heart waves to the broken healers
Cause' we'll all find our place
Somewhere near home
Is where we'll find we need to be

To the sorrowing man
May apathy get lost searching for you
For the age of war is upon us
