I’m from the normal neighborhood,
You’ve got those strange neighbors, who visit you from time to time,
Their names were Fear and Death.

You’ve got those good friends, who live just around the corner,
Their names were Ecstasy and Wonder.

And you’ve got that one best friend, who lives at the other end of town,
His name was Insanity.


I’m from the Future, but also the Past,
Never the Present,
A sliver of time so thin, no being could ever grasp it,
And no nonbeing could ever create or destroy it.


I’m from somewhere I have never traveled.
A place my eyes have never witnessed,
A place only my mind has ever reached.

If you want to go there, too,
Just close your eyes and wait,
Don’t even wait,
Just let it slowly drift in and settle down.

When it does, you won’t even realize,
Just know you will be overwhelmed with joy,
And you won’t even care if Tomorrow begins without you.


I’m from “If you’re wrong, admit it,
If you’re right, shut up.”


I’m from shadows by moonlight,
From fire by love.


And nothing’s gonna change my world, cause
I’m from Across the Universe.

Sleep becomes my sanctuary
Where else is there to hide?
My fear is my reality
It's hidden on the inside.
Save me from my slumber
I'm sick of hiding here.
I can't keep going under,
Running from this fear
Of love, of lust, of loneliness.
I'm scared of life itself.
Save me from this holiness
Of living in self doubt.
I'm stronger than I'll ever know.
This, I want to reach:
A realization I want to show,
And wish every soul to keep.
We all are perfect, pure and strong.
We all are capable of more.
If we just strive and we just long
To reach our full potential
I'm sure we'll reach nirvana,
I'm sure we'll reach our heaven,
For hell's a place we're all in.

"The perfect couple,"
Everyone would say,
As they saw us together,
Day by day.
"They'll never break up,"
Everyone would insist...
If only he knew,
That I exsist.

Wrong?

All of the right guys fall for the wrong girls,
For the wrong reasons.
What am I doing wrong?
What is the
Universe?
Stars, Planets?
Sun's, Moons?
Space ships blast off
trying to figure out
what exactly is out there
beyond the eyes of
Humans.
Beyond the eyes
Of Earth.
They toy with planets
and send information
but-
They spend so much time
On other planets
Rather than thinking
about our Dying Earth.
Perhaps,
some things
should be left
Unknown.
Talking.
Behind me.
In front of me.
Beside me.
Never enough
To satisfy
The bored people.
No.
They want gossip.
They want rumors.
Why?
Because their lives are not interesting.
Why?
Because they waste time on talking.
Why?
Because they have nothing better to do.

Every time we say goodnight
Every time we part
Ever time our lips touch, just once
Something happens within my heart

Every time you caress my hair
Ever time you hold my hand
Every time we sleep together
I try to grasp, to understand

Why it is I ******* us up
Why it is I took that chance
Why it is I’m drawn to you
Why it is I can’t understand

I tried to tell you countless times
I tried to make it count
I tried to help you see what I see
But it went all it did was go in and out

I loved you, alright?
I love you, still
I can’t help myself, really
And it’s starting to ****

Me inside and out
It’s starting to take
A toll on my mind
On my heart, just make

Things easier on the both of us
End things completely
Cut me off, and spare me
From this pain, already.

Every time I see the stars
Every time I stare at the moon
I think of each night we spent together
And I wonder if you think of them, too.
A trilogy of love: bared, shared, pared
Lust's shallow wave: crests, cascades, crashes
Deeper, emotive swells: rise, rumble, release
Conflicting currents form rip tide: tugging, tossing, tearing

Amor's undulating rhythms pulsate
Low tide, latent fantasies surface ego to ingratiate 
High tide, a endless churning of desires our longing cannot satiate
Libidinous breakers scour lecherous bottom; a brackish foam doth emanate

In the deeper recesses of our minds, a rational connection percolates
From the depths, a heart-felt ****** rises; a growing bond initiates
Two, constant minds mutually sharing space; each hope, dream resonates
Surface tension increases; two hearts mount each obstacle, common course navigates

Nearing balmy shore, strong winds of indifference blow
Into eroding channels untested lovers unwittingly row
Selfish goals drag the unstable pair into the undertow
Corrosive fears, unmitigated doubts sever trust placing love in escrow
