The thing about a fragile heart
You never know when it will fall apart
It may be strong and smart
But there's always a bigger part
The part of art

Your intentions are pure and true
You genuinely care
But have you thought this through
Will you dare

Declare your heart
or fall apart

Don't let them too near
You felt nowhere
wishing to be elsewhere
Prepare to repair

I don't even have to identify the word
Addiction is a hateful sword
You slowly drift toward
Something you can't afford

The problem is ignored
Your mind is on board
There is no switch board
You became a warlord

The chances to be restored
The thinning of your power cord
You lose your souls harsichord
Leave your potential unexplored

Addiction becomes your destruction
Your very reduction
Induction then destruction
Alien abduction

You leave the people that love you broken
There are no please unspoken
How do you tend to the heartbroken
When their hearts are already frozen
Woven with explosion
Emotion won't reopen

Now your choking
You have to be joking
I knew i would be losing
The one my heart was choosing

Not everyone will like you
You will be their taboo
Say your name
And they'll ask who?

But why do you have to care?
Just because you deny another face to wear
In the end it's worse if you don't like you
If you let them stop you from doing what you do
When they break you
leaving you asking who?

You can't please everybody
Trying to be somebody
You will end up with nobody

Rather be yourself
You can't be anyone else
The right people will appreciate you
Please don't change that perfect you

Not everyone will like you
But who really cares ?
As long as you like you
I know I do

Have you ever heard a story told
One the mind seems to hold
It's a bit old
But worth the told

Her eyes were glistening
My heart was listening
My brain ignoring
I didn't know of the mourning

We slowly start healing
Our hearts beating
My logic falling
Losing a calling
She's now for the taking
And my heart was breaking

The one that got away
I couldn't make her stay
But maybe someday
Love will find a way
And make her stay

I wonder if they see me
Past the face I claim to be
I wonder if they know me
And if they can maybe show me

Maybe they see the obscene thoughts
And try break the countless locks
Try to climb the mammoth mountain
To find only an empty fountain

I surround myself with change
Always keeping it strange
Makes it hard to figure out
I would know
I'm still in doubt

I always overthink
Leaving permanent ink
One thought
Next another
Each and every other
The constant annoying utter

I push backspace
And my feelings start to erase
I get taken to a new place
Where I can't see your face

I became more effervescent
But I still missed your scent
No room for terror or error
A survivor to the exterior

But a feeling like this
How could I resist ?
Face to fist

Stranger to lover
Lover to enemy
I lay here broken
With you my remedy

So I push backspace once more
And my feelings struggle to erase
I hope for a new place
But I still see your face
