On top of the roof
The air is so cold and so calm
I say your name in silence
You don't wanna hear it right now

The eyes of the city
Are counting the tears falling down
Each one a promise
Of everything you never found

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true, don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you, don't jump

Don't let memories go of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please, don't jump

You open your eyes
But you can't remember what for
The snow will falls quietly
You just can't feelin' no more

Somewhere out there
You lost yourself in your pain
You dream of the end
To start all over again

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true, don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you, don't jump

Don't let memories go of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please, don't jump, don't jump

I don't know how long
I can hold you so strong
I don't know how long

Just take my hand
Give it a chance
Don't jump

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true, don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you, don't jump

Don't let memories go of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please, don't jump, don't jump
And if all that can't hold you back
Then I'll jump for you

Little  did  I  know  that  they  were  the  worst.
They  were  shrouded,  covered,  buried
So deeply under the illusion of light,
That  they  couldn't  see  they
Were   born   of   darkness.
They fooled themselves.
They fooled me.
No more.
Never.

Before you met her
You were whole
And after she left
You were left scattered in pieces

it's the cold winter nights
that make me think of you
of what we had
of what we were
of what we could have been

Lies are a human spiderweb
we weave them without a second thought
justifying our falsehoods,
easing our pain by creating false realities
many go to escape from life’s burdens
the false freedom seems intoxicating
in actuality it is a trap composed of your own twisted web
one misstep and the delicate structure will snap
leaving you with nothing

Always selfish only thinking of our own pain,
no matter how minute
caging the truth like some sort of exotic creature
it too must be set free

The pain by telling the truth is soon healed and forgotten
whereas the toll of a lie is never ending

When you entered the room
Instead of your usual warmth
The fire in your heart had turned to embers
And only the cold entered with you.

With a grimace
you threw a wave in my direction;
then turned your back to me
and entered the block of ice that you brought with you.

You have withdrawn,
You are unreachable...to ME.
And I ask myself...FOREVER?

While I watch and wait
I think only good thoughts of you;
I Wish You Love.
Notes to self:  Be careful what you wish for..you may just get it.
                        "Be careful what you pretend to be; in the end you       become                  it" (from Mother Night, based on a story by Kurt Vonnegut)

Tears of Crows

This one time, I fell in love with a scarecrow
A face chiseled from spare hand-me-downs
patches to cover the leaks
graffiti to ward off the ones who thought they were freaks
reclusive, yet humble enough to find peace

This one time, I decided it was over
I left that one time with patches to cover the leaks
I roamed with the stride of a fighter
a keep out sign to signify that I was in need
I know you'd say "if it were me, I would leave"

This one time, I went back to his post
dead trees, broken dreams and broken wings
and it was there that his cries called out to me
the crows called out,
feeding their hunger through his defeat

And that day, I left defiant
wiping the blood from my cheeks
the stride of a champion,
evidence of a slate wiped clean

you could say that I'm not clean
that I'm no better, maybe worse

my schemes are pointless thoughts scribbled on notebook paper
that my thoughts are pointless schemes scribbled on notebook paper
and I'd have to say that I'm just here to tell you,
I like to bring home the scruffy scarecrow that breaks the crows wings
and that if you were to request that he act like a civilized human being,
he would simply reply, "civilized my syphilized yarbles!!!"
