Pack me up
Ship me out
Show me love
Pick me up
Dust me off
Show me now
Take my time
Take it easy
Don't forget how
To show me
You love me
Now
"Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks." Simonides, 6th-5th century, B.C.
Pack me up
Ship me out
Show me love
Pick me up
Dust me off
Show me now
Take my time
Take it easy
Don't forget how
To show me
You love me
Now
End all of the nonsense
End all of the pain
Level the playing field
After all, we're the same
Begin to process the future
Begin to take it all back
Be aware of the outsider
And all of his attacks
For tomorrow is promised to no one
And no one will forever persevere
Tomorrow will be our undoing
Tomorrow, oh so very near
End all of the bickering
End all of the pain
Forgive all of the sins
Release all the distain
Begin to process the future
Begin to take it all back
Be aware of the outsider
And all of his attacks
For tomorrow is promised to no one
And no one will forever persevere
Tomorrow will be our undoing
Tomorrow, oh so very near
End all of the agony
End the endless attack
Forgive the innocence of your youth
No sense in taking it all back
Begin to process the future
Begin to take it all back
Be aware of the outsider
And all of his attacks
For tomorrow is promised to no one
And no one will forever persevere
Tomorrow will be our undoing
Tomorrow, oh so very near
Your demons
where do they dwell
Internal or external?
How deep is the well?
You try to balance the scales
With credit you cannot repay
There are wins and fails
What makes you think you can stay?
The darkness closes in
The light fights for every flare
The unseen devours
And the darkness
The darkness doesn't care
Be a hero
Take the walk
Despite the weakness
Be the hero
Take the chance
Despite internal weakness
Time runs out for everyone
Time if fleeting, you got to run
There is no time
for second chances
Or
any more
chances
The time is now
I have problems
And I have dreams
I have desires
But nothing is what it seems
Will you be the death of me?
Should I close my eyes and die?
Give in
I have issues
I have screams
I have credits
Nothing gets in the way of dreams
Will you give life to me?
Should I open my eyes to a new reality?
Gave in
What happens
when there is nothing left to give?
The tank empty
How are we going to live?
Who decides
Where we ultimately go?
Confusion
Does anyone really know?
The ground
Rushed towards my head
Blacked bones
Did you wish I was dead?
Cohabitation
Means nothing
Self-containment
Would mean everything
But life determined a different path
Yours finally clean, mine dark and gray
An anchor to your sunrise
Maybe I should just fade away
It can be funny
As well as a little sad
these moments of clarity
they are all I have
Nothing will end happy
If I prayed, I'd ask for time
I can only hope for moments
And make them mine
A little is better than none
A little is good enough
good enough
The weight of words
Keep me down
And the height of words
Lift me up
But the duality keeps
me grounded
The worst and the best
The bitter and the rest
The best of times
The worst of me
Keep shining bright
Keep shining the light
And I will follow
I wanted to do something right
Out of something so wrong
And I wanted to make you a star
Of your very own song
The worst and the best
The bitter and the rest
The best of times
The worst of me
Did you say a little prayer
To help my lonely soul
Did you keep me close
I will never know
The worst and the best
The bitter and the rest
The best of times
The worst of me
Keep me here
Keep me close
Keep me here
I may never know
Happiness
It's only Tuesday
At the same time
It's the end
Of the world
Can you explain
the end of times
Can you believe
In this?
What did you expect
The world to spin on
What did you want
Everything inside?
Can you explain
What I have wanted?
What I waited for
What was that?
Fly
Away
Fly on your own
Fly
Away
Be gone
It was a magical moment
Brought down to earth
What do you want
What do you need
Let me go
Let's go
Lets go
There is nothing to stop us now
What do you want now?
There is nothing stopping us now
What's Stopping you now?
What?
There was always a moment
Where the light blinded your eyes
And when reopened, yielded
The greatest surprise
Don't look away
Don't turn away
Stare directly
Into the light
There was the ball
In your court
I cried foul
Even if it was right
I took control and
Ruined it, yet again
Best intention
Doesn't mean shit
I tried to make it mine
But it wasn't my time
So I forfeit the serve
And got what I deserve
There is no hope for me
I'm just a memory
I don't know what to do
Tell me what you know
I was without
A net, no safety
I was alone
No safety
Let me be
Let me think
What the hell is going on
What did you think?
I am broken up
I'm broken down
I'm letting up
I let you down
Turn that frown
Upside down
Welcome to my world
It's all crazy
It's all upside down
Welcome to my life
It's all insane
It's all upside down
What more is there
That I can give
What more is there
That I should live with
What more is there
That you say is right
What more is there
in the dark of night
Turn that frown
Upside down
Welcome to my world
It's all crazy
It's all upside down
Welcome to my life
It's all insane
It's all upside down
What am I
without you
an insignificant
Thing
What Am I
With you not by my side
Another darkened day
Where love has gone to hide
Don't pray to your god
not just yet
Don't make any accusations
Don't even jest
Because when the daylight breaks
And the surf is calm
It's on like you wouldn't believe
Like Donkey Kong
Let's get in the drink
No apologies spoken
no warmth in the embrace
the notes tickle my spine
What a fantastic race
The deeper we fall
The higher we ascend
The more we give away
The more we bring in
There's no need to apologize
we all, are
Numb my pain
Numb Numb Numb
Numb the insane
Numb numb numb
Numb the irrational
Numb the faint of heart
numb the struggle
Within my beating heart
Numb it all
Make it all numb
So I can face
Another
Day
Unless the numbness
Takes it all away
The deepest cut
is inflicted by those you love
Not your enemy
But the difference
is negligible
Am I a loser
Or A winner
Or somewhere in between
am I a faker
Until I make her
Or is there any reason
I still scream
Am I an artist
Or a fanatic
Or a lunatic within
When will we ever have the truth
Of what fills the spaces within
The space
within
I keep trying
and fall outside the lines
I keep hoping
but I'm never in-bounds
No matter what I do
It's never enough for you
I should fade away to nothing
nothing
I keep praying
to a God that doesn't exist
I keep plying
A hope that will not resist
No matter what I do
It's never enough for you
I should fall away to nothing
Nothing
And leave you in peace
