i've been denieing my emotions,
telling my heart that it's for you,
it seems easier to hurt myself,
instead of hurting you.

I miss the shine before the rain
I hear the sobs before the pain
I feel the flame before the burn
And make mistakes before I learn

I know melody until a song
I know I'm right until I'm wrong
I know I'm innocent until I feel relieved
And I'll miss you long before you leave

Superheroes don't cry
They're not famous
They do not fly

Instead superheroes weep

They walk like you and I
But have a heart that bounds and leaps

Superheroes are the everyday stranger
The dust that stays loyal to abandon houses
The drops of water in a desert

A day like any other
I am your soul

You were a bump
In the road, a lump
In my sore throat

If I was an ocean, or a single wave
You'd be the moon.
I'd be your slave.
If I was a day, or just the sighing noon
You'd be the night,
Thoughtlessly turn out the light.

Though there is only pain and sorrow,
We can still hope for a better tomorrow

Certain things can't be taken away,
Those are the things that make me believe you would stay.

Hope is in our minds,
Hope is in his heart.
Hope is what he finds,
When darkness shifts apart.

Birthdays
Celebrating when we took our first breath
Counting the years
Until our death

you could never see me the way that i needed you to see me
and i could never see you the way that you wanted me to see you
and so we stumbled past each other
blind
groping for something
we'd never find
and never hold
