I only loved the idea of you
A pretty something
But you were just you
I should have seen it coming
...

I look at you
And the picture you display
Is a reflection of my thoughts
...

Glad to be sad
Sad to be glad
Happy and mad
...

I wonder why you
Dance with free spirited shouts
The sun is fading
...

So quietly sad
Can’t breathe
Just want to talk
To anyone who listens
...

I’m the typical girl you meet
Guys on their knees
Leave you filthy dogs
...

You are making my soul shake
Crumbling into the beauty I’ve never felt
Thank you for talking without speaking
I can feel your emotions collapsing
...

Devouring me
Piece by piece
Bright eyes
Eager boy pleasure
...

Impulses of wires
Shaking the weary minds
For I am only trying to wake
Like rain on glass
...

She’s crying in her sleep
The birds are falling from the sky
Forget what’s moving in motion
Let the whole world stay high
...

Shhh Shhh, keep it quiet
Keep it calm
The world is spinning
And we're trying to fit it within our palms
...

We've got words without meaning
Lovers without love
Sadness without feeling
We've got so much
...

From drama in the neighborhood
Secrets dangle across our heads
Then to a place with no matter
I strive for a happening
...

I’ve been a fool for too long
With perfect wax figures
Of delicate hands holding flowers
Waiting for reality to take over
...

Ravel your fingers inside of mine
I'll take you to a place
Where nothing exists but
The creation of our bliss
...

Wrapped in each other’s arms
Our small steps lead the way
To where stars rest their tips
In our late night hearts
...

Glorious days, glorious days
Nothing to hide
Does that world even exist?
A quiet laugh out of this town
...

Staring at the world
I finally see
how everything was
So overdone
...

Whereupon your hands brush
Pinpoint fingertips tap
Cautiously over my arm
Sliding off into nothingness
...

I go for the messed up ones
To help so selfishly

Needed you to need
...
