Getting caught up choking on the air
These bones, they're black and charred from all the heavy years
We've lost control and life just so unclear
It's starting to feel like every day's the same fight
I know you just want to burn out
So, bright and be more than what you are
This half-life that you're leading, it just seems so ******* demeaning
Blocked and clouded by the smoke screen
But, I know you're doing all you can to stand again
The smoke will lift and you'll find what you've been searching for

Throw me
Throw me a life line, baby

Say that I'm really sorry
Just please pick up the phone

Show me
Show me, that you really want me
Hold me
Love me
Need me

I can see blood in the water
It's none of the worlds business
How she's got me loving in the morning
Singing in the pouring rain
Finding it perfect in the palm of your hand
So, pardon my manners
Something about you
Turns me into a savage
If I'm going to be honest
I'll do what I need to
To always please you
My dear

Lately, I've been yelling up at the sky like "What is my purpose?"
Forgive me, everyday I'm reminded that I'm far from perfect.
And lately I feel ashamed to feel pain, I keep to myself.
And what gets to me the most, is I know there's more to life than to dwell on my own ******* self.

I can see blood in the water
I can write anything honest
Is anyone else trying to bring love back?
Still find myself fishing
Sadly, there's a couple things I keep pent up
Alone in my room with nobody around
Gather the thoughts
Just keep wondering why we fought
It seems that's the generation's way
It's just what we believe we were taught
Join me, be the change
Refuse to be the same, cause let me tell you
This generations ideals on love is not my ******* way

When it comes to your love, tell me who's the most consistent
When you need love, I'll always be persistent
Keep me at a distance
Just ask and I'll be home in an instant
Wasting all of this time
The thing is, I don't mind

Trying to make something timeless
Begging to stay tireless
In the hour of devastations
Words and self representations
Fed up and I'm tired
Book isn't finished and I'm thinking of retiring
As I'm not sure when to stop and what you demand of me
Is my soul and mind the fee for you to be complete?
How far are we gonna go? There's only so many sides to me
So, dear reader which side do you wish to see?

My hands knew the way of the keys
And the keys knew only my name
For when they sang, I could feel love
Colors rain when they scream out in harmony
In a world of monotone hues
Black and White keys resembling Doves and Ravens
Bring out the best of both worlds
A perfection of symphonies
To allow your beauty to shine
With your perfectly drawing smile
Your glowing spotless skin
Those big brown eyes in rays of sunshine
Perfect eyebrows and subtle laugh lines
Did you know you have small wrinkles around your eyes, when you smile so hard?
You might find imperfections in your reflection
To some those might just be among the perfections
I think I could stare at you for hours if not days
The piano is the only instrument, I could think of
To match such a magnificent creature

There's a certain simplicity
In taking five minutes
Just five simple minutes of solitude
To think back on all the good the world has to offer
To be humbled by your failures for the day
That the patter of rain or the sun coming up brings about a gentle peace
I've come to learn that the best medicine is to laugh and enjoy the moment
For she is in this moment undeniably life warming
With a fever rush smile
And eyes that smile brighter
Happiness temporary for sure
But, with her around, it seems to be more common than ever

A constant circle of being human
Trying to make eachother feel something
Bittersweet years gone away
Lost sense of taste
Colors most days seem to fade to grey
When you're alone in the bed you've made
So, dear if you're going to stay then stay
But, love if you're going to go
Make sure you make me feel something

You seared me with the rays you emit
Burned my wings to darken splits
Stressed out all day
Inside my head all night
Trying to make sense of the ever so senseless fights

You've got me barely holding on
Loving from a far
You're the one just making this so hard
I'll take my chances, burning up like Icarus

Strawberry lips
And soft fingertips
How I hope to be the flakes
That land on your tongue
While it snows in October

I know you hate me
And your imperfections are quaint
And I'll probably fall short
So, break right
For your love, I'll always wait
When you have a turn
I'm all yours on all fours
I'll drive you crazy
You'll always return
They never teach you growing up
That loving is such a bloodsport
Cause' things get so ugly
But, were still a team
We sometimes break from within
That's why you're stronger
And that's how you always win
Fighting love's war

To the other
What about you is so much bettter than I?
Why were you deemed worthy?
To get to see sides of her I was suppose too
And all you have to do is be you
A repetition of drug induced self dissections
For love is a hell of a drug
And my souls closest love must be the scalpel

I will always run to the gorgeous sea
It seems to be
The only place that misery
Just can't follow me

Deep sea, beauty
Drown me in the water
Find me in the dark
Drag me down to the deep

Island fires
Boy's I'll never deny
That she's a high tide come to wash over me
Find your woman, and dance in the moonlight
Let your love rain down the valley's
Let your waters wash over me

All a little lost when it's over
You're reciting heartbreak philosophies in the shower
Alone I'm walking through the beautiful flowers
I think I might just take off for a while
Cause' tonight we're freezing
Everything that you wanted, was everything I needed
I'm sorry for last weekend
It'll be quite the shock realizing you don't need me
You'll be wondering how you're losing sleep
No matter where your soul is
I hope you won't try to fight these feelings every night
You still have every right
To breathe
I didn't know you were golden
Till I tore your heart open

I just wanted to get lost
Somewhere in your desires

You were born in a castle
Next to the sea
So, how do you plan on waking up next to me?
A boy born somewhere hidden in trees
Paradise is a place far from home
And lately all I ever see is everything I've ever known
I hate all the things I love
And I love all the things that don't make sense
Like loving you

I think I lost my mind a while ago
Modern day Davey Jones
Cut my heart for you
Lost in the open waters
Tethered to deliver
The heartless and broken
In the depths of the locker
Bound to be the lantern in the drowning dark

From the sunset highs
To the moonglow lows
Hopefully you find
Yourself dancing in the star fire
Surrounded in firefly kisses
Deserving of better loves
Soft glances and softer whispers
December welcomed lips
Playful Summer eyes
Sacrificial smiles
This world isn't exactly
What your heart expected
Regardless, your constant demand
To be free
How refreshingly bound to empathy
I can't help, but be attracted to thee

No ground beneath me
I fear my heart is
Sinking.

I miss your pain
That constant loving drain
I miss your kiss
Already
Well, I hope dear
That you don't think I'm weird
Just miss your plane
Come stay at my place
Cause I miss your brain
You're like a the best ink mark stain
I miss your kiss
Already
