Like a fish out of waterYou’re watching me take my last breaths,Cutting me off the trick that you played on meLeading me on, only to discover you were my impending doom So let me free; I’m in this world where I can barely breathe,My veins are shrinking awayTo be consumed,My heart was all you wantedSo…

Whatever happened to the lines we drew at the beginning of battle?When the guns are pulled we turned our backs and keep on walkingSo you say, I’d rather be scared than deadSomebody save me now For all the days spentI was looking down the barrel of those gunsThese words we say,Forever shooting for dreams Well…

Moments before I left And the days that followed,I knew that if I looked into your eyes, you’d never see me again So say what you want to say,Lie to my face and make it seem like I can stayBut I know my demons are catching up now So swallow your pride and allow all…

While you call me, I’m over and outThe constant buzz continues,And the lines blur –While there is no sun to rise or fall,My shot has been blanketed in text,Scaling these impossible fences I have no clueWhat I’m holding on to In our town, superheroes are dawned of darknessAnd their counterparts are so close I can…

Through the lines,I’ve been waitingJust to see you now, but you keep dodging meSo I guess I will just goBut there’s something I wanted you to know, Oh I’ve been waiting, wading out here in the sea,I was swimming now I’m drowning, but this is where I want to be Through the lines,I’ve been writing…

Everything I’ve been thinking,Tells me I just…

It was the wind behind my backThe words that it screamedAnd the questions that left my lipsThat left my heart reamed How does it feel, shouting against the sky?Defining loss as the way to get ahead in life and be so far behind There’s nothing here anymore So we kept running through the places we…

You’re an enigma, a shadow, a fractured person with no latitudeYou sectioned yourself in two pieces, neither one could ever be lovedyou leave so much to be desired,Your cold shoulders won’t ever keep me off, they won’t ever keep us away But you say there is nothing left, you have no way to keep on…

Pushing down on pottery,Kettles singing marching whistles;Spider broaches fast moving,Fast approaches; Your red hair was fake but the green behind the ink was reminiscent of the summer you sewed me together; Now I lay here with my son, and tell him stories of all the women who will never be his mother – It’s bedtime…

So this is the beginning of what seems like such a beautiful endWhen the world keeps spinning, We will lay in bed and play pretend,This is our house, this is our world!So listen to me while I tell you story of how fast everything changed,Everything changed;Did you happen to notice, the man with the motif…
