The Runaway Romance

We're in deeper than we ever thought we'd be, she's searching for shelter, I'm trying to help her, but I never seem to have quite enough of what she needs, despair or ecstacy, arrogance, humility. Run away hunnie stay with me, we'll live above the scene, giving up, giving in is always easy. Far away from where we used to be, there's mothing there waiting, we've had too much of not enough. Listen to the sound of everything you know coming to an end, around you, you're going to find that you need me, more than you wanted to admit, on your way out. We're moving on.

These Gray Skies

These fireworks sound more like gunshots. They've brought me to the floor tonight, just pull these gray skies over my tired eyes, will this song touch your heart like I once did? You left these butterflies in my stomach, they're spelling out my soul tonight, but I know it's killing me, I remember the way we used to be, I will follow your shadow.

Feet of Angels

I thought I saw the end because the sun felt so close, but in a tragic glance it was far away, but still remote. If I could kiss the feet of angels, I would scorch my lips with the warmth of their light, the embers of my lips would never close, burning for today and long into the night. I heard the song from the angels, I swear I knew every word, but within all the silence, after it all, I am sure of what I heard.

You're Not Alone

Let the blood cover us. When I found you broken, tearing at the seams, our insides fell out only holding us back, I would love to be red with you. Our torn hearts show, with the pieces missing, we're draped in the snow, left reminiscing

Psalm 39

I said I'd be careful of what I say, I will be careful of how I act, I kept very quiet, the anger grew inside of me, so I spoke, when will the end come? How long do I live? What hope do I have? You are my hope, save me from my sins, Lord hear my prayer, listen to my cries.

Distance from Regret

I dreamt a dream last night, it was so vivid, awoken by my own heartbeat, I've been in a trance ever since, dying would be easier than this, our paths will never cross, and it will never be just fine with me, I have my faith to keep me breathing, hope is all I have. I can see you there, I can touch your face, being so close has never felst so far, I will regret this, you're singing me to sleep, I have never felt more alone

Mob Scene

The whites in your eyes are just as fake as that smile piling your words into sentences, measured in distances of a mile, and I will scream your word at the top of my lungs, until my tears are blessed by your grace, I could never let this go, until the warmth's leaving my face, if my hands could reach the top of the sky, drowning in an everlasting faith, just to get one breath beyond those clouds, or even just one cry so you could hear me, you asked why I was speechless when I returned from that seaside town, I told you I was leaving to glorify another's crown, and I will scream your name Lord, and I will scream it at the top of my lungs. You asked wht I was speechless as I returned from that seaside town, until the warmth of life bleeds from my face, I could never let this go.
