nothing makes me feel more alive
than when i'm gliding through soft snow

zooming down the cold, icy mountain
...

escape
we're all just trying to escape

milky smoke entering our lungs
...

i sit in my room and wonder
how will everything change when i leave?
i know how things will happen for me.
my soul will condense and my heart will bleed.
...

throw my ego in a paper shredder
stick pins through my eardrums
you goblet of terror
take a bite out of my heart
...

a familiar being
that i must have met before
one that my heart flutters for
the light that emits from inside
...

there are no words that can even begin to explain
the love i feel for you
its like a hurricane
strong winds that lift my body into the air
...

Lift
Lift another weight up on your shoulder girl
Sink
Sink down deeper into the ocean girl
...

life that changes,
lovers that push you to grow and take the darkness out and shake it
clicking fires and smiling faces
tell me you love me under the warm welcoming stars
...

oh, we all know
nothing is easy
but
your ability to lift up the corners of my lips sure is,
...

if i had a melody
it would have a tone that pulls you close
playful piano keys
bright green grass and dandelions
...

I wanna hold his hand'
and feel how it fits mine perfectly.
I wanna look into his eyes,
and see my future.
...

The sound of home isn't an
ordinary sound.

It's the sound you hear
...

I wont give up
No, not so quick

Ive been through so much
...

Well its been a month
and ive given up
Ive got better things to look foreword to.
...

What do you see when you look at me?
Cause I see a little grain of sand lost in a sea.

This little grain of sand thats so small and tiny you can barely see it.
...

Will I feel this weight on my heart forevor?
Cause it eats me alive everyday.

I physically feel it pushing down on my heart and sinking it down to my stomach.
...

I miss him.

I miss looking into his kind eyes.
I miss hugging him, his arms shielding me
...

...

I used to always think of you before I drifted off to sleep.
Most of the time I'd close my eyes and imagine my head on your chest.
If I concentrated enough
I could hear your heart beat in sync with mine,
...

My mind scares me.
It forms faces in the dark,
ominous and disturbing.
From the corners of my eye
...
