If there wasn't a single breath
If there wasn't at least a spark
I'd simply
Fade
Away
from
you
"Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting that speaks." Simonides, 6th-5th century, B.C.
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
Nothing can be done here
but we will try anyway
nothing can smooth over
the unending crushing weight
We try to make it right
try to make it just so
but the effort falls too short
And the progress is no go
We work to make it good
but nothing every goes through
How do we
Soothe the ghosts
of the past we
want to favor the most
How do we
Soothe the ghost
of feelings never shared
I think I hate this the most
Nothing can be said here
words, they fall too short
Nothing can start here
the end began before the start
We try to make it right
try to make it so
but the effort falls too short
we try to make it work
try to make it good
but nothing every goes through
How do we
Soothe the ghosts
of the past we
want to favor the most
How do we
Soothe the ghost
of feelings never shared
I think I hate this the most
I close my eyes
picture a time
when everything falls into place
I take my time
and open my eyes
to a feeling I cannot replace
We try to make it right
try to make it so
but the effort falls too short
we try to make it work
try to make it good
but nothing every goes through
How do we
Soothe the ghosts
of the past we
want to favor the most
How do we
Soothe the ghost
of feelings never shared
I think I hate this the most
Influence
Is fleeting
The things we can change
Are within
We cannot push the boundaries
We cannot change the past
Accept what it is
Accept yourself
Others don't influence
What makes you, you
The death of you
Dwells within
I hoped to accommodate
The wishes held deep within
I hoped to accelerate
The fire burning within
I was wrong
So very wrong
The fight
Is in you
I can only provide the basis
By which you can choose
If it's me or you
Or the death of me and you
I am still here
not that it matters
I am still here
Longer than anyone
I am
Not enough
I am just an imposter
For you
I am
The one who had been here
I am
The fool who believed
I am
There is no control
1, 2, 3 ,4
I feel the beat
The drive to the melody
I felt the verse before the chorus
I lived the verses in order
I forgot the holdover
The hook, the cut, the memory
I forgot
me
You wanted to find love
It's been so very long
You want to feel the freedom
You want to be wanted
Little did you know
That the secret to love
Is inside you
It's been there forever
The only thing to know
About love
is that you get
what you give
What you give
I tried to be a hero
I was wrong
So wrong , I can't explain
You wouldn't get it
There is nothing
Stopping your love
There is nothing
Keeping you down
Little did you know
That the secret to love
Is inside you
It's been there forever
You get what you give
What you give
Whatever you are willing
To connect with
To part with
To be with
To alleviate
To elevate
To be a
Part of
Love isn't something you get
It's something you give
