The lights didnt recieve me well,
The picture of you isn't enough;
I don't make enough money
To pay for a phone, otherwise
I'd be calling you every night.

The stage is too high up,
The Ipod I borrowed won't charge
All our songs feel weird,
So wrong, like they are
Missing you more than I am.

The microphone couldn't pickmme up,
The story shouldnt have ended this way;
Your last name is all
I have left keeping ,me
In your heart, and that hurts.

The lights didnt recieve me well,
The picture is starting to fade;
Your song is telling me
I can come on home,
But I don't know the way.

I lost myself, trying to be
Something I am not,
Do you still love me
Enough to welcome me
If I came back?

Tonight leave the light on,
Unlock the door, please,
Because
I am

Coming home.

There are seven billion ways to view the world,
Of all I find yours the most beautiful.

Carnation hues blinding you now
Ao you don't show your pain,
Why you hide
......there
I will never know.

Seven billion people live and breathe,
But your breath puts on the best show.

Ebony clouds the words
You do not wish to say
That makes sense I
....., suppose;
They don't seem to understand.

So of all seven billion lifestyles out there
Yours is the one I would like to learn.

Dark sandy eyes and lime thoughts
With azure meanings
Make it seem as though
You found a perfect
.......paradise,
I wish I could join you.

Because there are seven billion things wrong with the world,
And I promise you will never be one of them.

Cherry smiles and lightly
candied hearts fill this
Deep, dark, and dangerous
World, but not our milky
......paradise.
They just don't know it.

One day seven billion people will leave us
Not you and I, for we will live forever.

Golden promises fill your mind
As we face each day,
Just remember someday
We will scream, "oh my god,
.....THIS
Is paradise and it feels
So ******* good!"

Footprints along the shore
Lead me somewhere new;
It feels like
....paradise
And at first it tasted
Good, now its too
...sweet.

Our sand castle still
...stands
Nestled safely farther
Back than the cove.

Sea **** washed up
Again, wove my feet
Together kindly,
Though I did not
....stop
Walking, trying to move
.... on.

A painted sky frames a
Golden sun's decent
As night stumbles in
...again.
Where did you go this
....time.

I thought we were better
For each other than this,
I thought we found
...paradise
For more than a split
....moment.

As I walk tears do
What tears do best...
They fall, drip, and
...slide
While waves crash,
gently erasing
....scars....

If we keep fighting
Just to taste
Dissonance
We cant keep doing
This.

We wake up, smile,
And wonder what lies
To spread around
Today.

They taught us to
Start fires, burn things,
Destroy
Everything we can
Before
someone else did.

Fight
Me to make yourself
Look so big and
Syrong.

Rise up against all
The crazy, falling
World
Just to feel
alive.

As long as you
Promise
That you are the one
To choose your
Actions going
Against
The grain of society.

No longer will I
Allow
You to blame
Me.

Wilting flowers stare from the desk,
Smiling faces lost their playful glow;
So many things cloud my mind,
Mostly questions with answers you should know.

Lately, it seems the light doesn't turn off
And the coffee just will not brew;
Sleep doesn't want me, I don't want it,
I just need a break from you.

I had you for a moment, in my arms,
When I turned around to help my family
You disappeared the way shadows do at night,
Still there, just playing me so foolishly.

Ever growing disappointment in love
Just does not feel right anymore;
You showed me pain, I found hope again,
Don't come back, ill only show you to the door

I know you remember the way
Your parents called you into
Their bedroom, your mother
Wrapped you up safe in her arms
With tears in her eyes and
Sadness cloaking her usual warmth.

After a deep sigh your daddy told you
That your sister took herself away.
No one knew why, just said drugs
Found her time and time again.

Next you looked them in the eyes
And whispered, "I am here to stay,
Forever and always I will be here."
They smiled as they pulled you in
Tighter, so sure youd meant what you said.

Six months later you're addicted to
Butterfly kisses from a steel blade
And alcohol playing with your abilities,
Forgetting that golden promise
You face your reflection and wonder
Why nobody recognizes you.

Without thinking you punch the glass,
Pick up a shard, slit your heart as you
Murmur some sorry excuse about
Do this here and now, you pick up
Your lipstick and write "Death shall die,
Time shall end" on whats left of the glass.

But before you leave I have to ask,
Is the ghost ship worth it, do you
Really want to leave when so many
People love, want, care about, and need



You.

Its so odd to visit the
garden of all out
secrets, where flowers
grow still. Lately,
its filled with an
unusual silence.

Not even the birds'
playful chatter fills
the space anymore.
Crazy squirrels race
through the courtyard,
even that is not
enough for the addict
of normality within
the soul of me.

Maybe if willing lovers
search for me here
they will walk away
before they are
close enough to see
all the excess baggage
you left me with.
