his life is not easy; a winding, sometimes whimsical, sometimes tragic journey that ultimately finds terminus in the same common destination for each of us. No matter the brave, fierce constructs we build and serve that would have us believe we are each one of us all alone as we make this journey, we make our way toward the end of all things side-by-side in our community of the living each day defying death. Our paths may be wildly divergent—the way of the hungry and impov
I still hear him inside my head
I'll always be here
It's like he never left
I never did, never will
He brought along so much for me to choose
I showed you paths that no one else could
But now he brings only one
One is all you need
But that path isn't always lit
And yet you chose to continue
Didn't know where else to go
What about another road?
You gave me no other choice
You had plenty before
But now all I can do is move forward
That's a loss and a gain
How so?
This road is such a loss
In that your life is in a toss
But, then again, it is a gain
Continue on without refrain
But there will be obstacles
There always has been
I'm putting you
On hold.
I'm sorry to
But I must.
To talk to you
After all we have been through
Would crumble me
To dust.
I'm putting you
On hold
And driving away.
I'm going to hide in the ocean
Find comfort in the waves
And taste the salt on my tongue
And love you from affar.
I'm not doing this
from anger.
Not because of hate.
But because of
The confusion
And pain.
Because if we talk,
I know that our
Worlds
Will never be
The same.
I don't know what I would do
If the world kept spinning
And the birds kept singing
And the heart kept loving
And you kept leaving.
So
I'm putting you
On hold.
You're fat.
Or maybe you're
Anorexic...
I don't know.
But you're not perfect.
And that's wrong.
You're ugly.
Or maybe you're
Fake...
But you're not perfect.
And that's wrong.
You're quiet.
Or maybe you're
Obnoxious...
But you're not perfect.
And that's wrong.
You're you.
Or maybe you're
like everybody else?
Well.
You're not perfect.
And that's wrong.
V1: Nothing makes sense
Anymore.
No one knew
That it was more
Then just a touch
Just a glance
Nothing there
No romance.
It's all gone
By the time you come along.
C: I was alone
With only you.
With your sweet mile
Bright as the sky of blue.
It's not enough
To fall for you.
I know I have to
see it through.
For you
For you
For you.
V2: It's so confusing.
How did I fall?
I simply closed my eyes
And heard you calling
My name
It's not a game.
I hope you'll see
This is me.
I hope you notice
I'm feeling more than this.
C:
B: We never saw this coming.
Falling over tiny question
Waiting for the time
That you would become mine.
I hoped and I prayed
So this is what it's like
To have a heart so broken
Wasting all your days
With alcohol and smoking
So you
Dream of a way
To put an end to the notion
That your life has gone astray
And to her you mean
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
So maybe I just want to fall
Give me this reason
To forget
It all
Every mistake that I create
Leaves another crack
In my walls
If I let myself
Just waste
Away
Would you see me any
Clearer
If I died today
Would your heart be broken
Or would you turn away
So maybe I just want to fall
Give me this reason
To forget
It all
Every mistake that I create
Leaves another crack
In my walls
Please just tell me what you want
As this is going on too long
Play by the rules but all too wrong
Just breaking hearts and moving on
You're just a scared and tired liar
And you will lose it all one day
You'll get caught in your own fire
Trapped in a game that you can't play
You're just a lost and tired child
You lost your way so long ago
Dust to dust and mile to mile
Now you will never find a home
Please don't play me for a fool
I don't break easy like the rules
I'm not the weakest you could choose
I won't bow down when it takes two
I can bend until I break
You'd be surprised by what it takes
As when your heart already aches
Y
