1:26 am
My eyes are burning
Can't sleep
Can't think
But you're still there
Back of my mind
All of the time
1:27 am
Floor to ceiling
I'm down here
You're up there
I can't take the stairs
That would be the hard way out
1:28 am
I could crush the place down  
Take the easy route
1:29 am
But how
Do I know what to say
When you've watered me
To the ground
1:30 am
And how the **** do I stay
Mad
When you're only
Begging me to blossom
1:31 am
I love you
For taking my heart
And planting it in your garden
1:32 am
I love you still
For letting me grow
1:33 am
But my eyes are burning still
Because what do we have to show?

How shall we contend
With emotional unrest at large
Leading us down
Roads of  madness
Coupled with delusions
Of grandeur
Holding on to beliefs
Worth dying for...

It is a very unstable world
Yet as Neil Peart once wrote
The city seems calm
In this violent sea...

It's like you would rather choke on the smoke from the flame
we created than fix the stain on your own heart

It doesn't matter where they say you should be
verses where you are now
we all move to our own clock
until all our time runs out

You say I've changed
and that it's easy to see
but in truth It's not easy to think
I'm not anything like I used to be

When I was young...
I thought I was destine for greatness
I felt as if the sun light shined just for me
and that the world turned in my favor
with age I realized that I am just as foolish as everyone else
and my pile of failures stacks high and wide
I know now I am just a soul wondering this place
looking for another who understands
life just isn't what we thought it would be

Pretty girls tell petty lies
just to keep others on the outside.

They don't know who's listening,
they're too cool to care.
No one would confront them,
no one would dare.

We were so close

I had you right at the tips of my fingers
like the shore is to the sea
now we are separated by miles and space
like the wolf is to the moon
though I see her we will not be
so I'll cry in the night when no one else can see
Some people aren't easy to leave behind

Love - Us

Promises broken
Lips not kissed
Fears not conquered
Tear stained cheeks
Bruised hearts
Love wasn't meant for us
