Take your time getting here, remember all you lost The nights of losing sleep over Someone who long forgot you While you were undercover Live a life worth all the pain and suffering, no need for a rush The tremors that kept you breaking Sometime long ago While the children were just waking And say…

As we sat by the water, You said something about how you kind of see the trees in the water My memory isn’t clear The exact next words I said to you, my dear Something about how similar it is to our memories, Muddy, occupied And the waves lines How when we reflect, Our memories…

I built a tower, Tore it down when I noticed I saw my flaws and imperfections in it And I was left with faded memories I built a tower, Constructed with porcelain All in all, I couldn’t take care of it As the cracks went chasing I tore apart the house Trying to find where…

Chills, shiver across my spine The way your fingers trace my every thought Intersected, we came a long way to stop here Red is all I saw Quite the entrance made, Entranced by you Blocked by the walls that divide Red is all I saw Whispering spread so loud The way your words left me…

Rarely I’ll accept your claims To be what you make of yourself Until you let go of the chain You’ll struggle to find movement How could I be so foolish? To accept what you gave Upon closer inspection The audit failed Rarely I’ll come across one in such condition To be made of what you…
