Words into Waves

Should it be lost today, Let the horizon sit crooked over the plains Should it be lost today, Let the moon sink like sand to the hollow ground Should it be lost today, Let the worlds winds come to a brief stop Just to throw you away Should I sit alone again, Might I sit…

We will kill the pain at its roots Find the flaw in you and pull it through And I’ll open up your eyes and cover them in glass So the world you will see won’t be the same You will be able to breathe again Just keeping dosing up If they tell you otherwise, shop…

With this photo of you I’ll hold on to; Memories of your youth I once knew Helpless like weeds, you’ve taken over my health And I wait for water to keep me breathing, I see your roots getting thicker With this photo of you I’ll hold on to; Memories of laughter before you knew what…

Chalked up, the distance the line runs Parallel; I find your outline next City streets found deserted in the city that never sleeps I lost you in sequence, And as I heard the bullets going by, I rushed in to save you Sirens wailing while the crowd gathers They don’t even know our names, But…

Razors cross across our face, Chained to the desire to be clean; To relive floating towards emptiness, The water never cooperated Hands cross our hearts Of hopes crossing our tides.

I walked these streets, Looking for the cracks I tripped on as a kid To find it’s all been replaced It’s what we’ve been moving on Unfamiliar sounds of ghosts I said I was never scared, Never free Body plays host I don’t recognize you anymore Now I just see a shadow, with a frame…

She doesn’t see past his sun bright eyes, The mirror in all reflections shines the light So don’t tell her why I’m passing by The winter snows I chase in the night Miracles aren’t supposed to just happen, Explain to me why you are my lesson So don’t find the fog in the bay, These…

Chosen away from the fears I had from falling in love again, Walking away and turning the tides waiting for the moon to lose its ever present pull, I was a fool for you, Made broken bets on bitter chips, Gambling on wages that never quite existed I couldn’t afford to lose, I couldn’t afford…
