awakened to the moon
staring wide-eyed
hopelessly wild
i glance down
and find my hands covered in
red is the color of god
lights in the distance
voices beneath the glow
now red was their color
and they belong to me, too.

a pair of eyes
a pitch dark room
not a sound
but your breathing
heavy
and i whisper
i could live like this
forever

nyc, morning
an ocean of cars
lights
sirens
sunshine
i have no idea how long i've been wandering
something is wrong with the sidewalk
it rises, like waves on the water
i don't mind
i am completely free

i'm stumbling over fault lines
reaching for something i'll never find
occupied by thoughts that weren't even mine
run down by four rotting horses
ridden by four rusted men
who preach of the apocalypse
and promise to keep me safe until the end
and i'm intrigued by all the things they've told me
i don't mind being alone, i just hate being lonely
cause love made simple is hard to hold
and all their threats are just getting old
how do you forget everything you've learned?
what's the journey worth, if you'll never return?
living divided
not by distance or meaning
but miles of bridges burned
fire fills my eye
as i turn for one last look at that ****** place
stopped by a sight i'll never forget
in the middle of hell, an angels face

you never really know the people you love
some things really are thicker than blood
just because you've managed to forget
doesn't mean it's happened for them yet
just because you've left it alone and far behind
doesn't mean it's not still running through their mind
sometimes, you come home to find they've changed the locks
and when you call their phone, it turns out your numbers been blocked
the light goes off, a chill runs down your spine
and you realize you've finally run out of time
