I look to myself for the strength to erase what was
but like water on thin cloth the weight of my past tears piece by piece
every inch a name and with every name another thread unraveled
you could cut my life into a thousand pieces, each one a different memory
paste together the perfect picture and stitch back together this rag
with passing days the wind carries flames
and through smoke and ash I'm left with incenirated remains
I search within time hoping to find a missing frame
in the sand standing next to the edge of the sea for a strong tide
that it would carry me out to the deepest depths
that serpents would rip into my skin and violate my sense of life
place peace in my heart with the venom of your words
I'll find a place for me in sky below your eyes
with the clouds that drift under currents and the thoughts that sift souls from stones
I'll find an end to this ghost...
if you could fall from one star
with one thought filling your mind
before you hit the ground
would you wonder of the moon's sad face
as you fall past
would you wish this wasn't happening
like it wasn't real
would you give up everything to make it right
just one more chance
would you swallow the words you couldn't say
to tell them how you feel
if you could spend one night
with one pair of eyes staring at you
before it was over
would you take another drink
erase it from your memory
would you press puase
hoping the moment could last eternity
would you ever stop and think
if you told them the truth they would understand
would you ever stop and think
that maybe this was how it was suppost to be
if you could watch the world burn
did you know i would be sitting right next to you
and if the time came that it was our turn
i would jump in the flames first giving my last seconds protecting you
a preminition from coma
awake with wings clipped
my eyes saturated from the tears held back
throughout a diamond sky sunclouds fill with rain
in all that you offer
grim words bring the brightest hope
i was content in shade
once you were my water
my mouth dry,
rust rips into all things eternal
this neckless noose
my heart glass
an empty mirror
if now i become only to find i am without you
awake with wings clipped
my eyes saturated from the tears held back
throughout a diamond sky sunclouds fill with rain
in all that you offer
grim words bring the brightest hope
i was content in shade
once you were my water
my mouth dry,
rust rips into all things eternal
this neckless noose
my heart glass
an empty mirror
if now i become only to find i am without you
the sea like your eyes
i stare into and the closer i become
i would walk 100 steps without looking back
if distance could take me away from (you)
she could take me into
shelter in comfort
wings so cold
if all i see is tides
if promise lies in a path yet to unfold
at the bottom of her soul i'll find sleep
with no heir to recieve i found a place for me
i stare into and the closer i become
i would walk 100 steps without looking back
if distance could take me away from (you)
she could take me into
shelter in comfort
wings so cold
if all i see is tides
if promise lies in a path yet to unfold
at the bottom of her soul i'll find sleep
with no heir to recieve i found a place for me
tonight i sleep with the stars
empty as they glare back
how could anyone hurt such a beautiful face
no answers, no thoughts, just silence
the depth of an endless sea at my reach
...and if time is my biggest enemy this world really is too small
someday i'll see you again
someday i'll make things right
empty as they glare back
how could anyone hurt such a beautiful face
no answers, no thoughts, just silence
the depth of an endless sea at my reach
...and if time is my biggest enemy this world really is too small
someday i'll see you again
someday i'll make things right
tonight I paint a smile on the mirror
I thought I could rest forever on this bed of nails
pleasent as it was perfect
it seemed as if heaven remained empty
...you would always be here
atleast ...i hoped
I thought I could rest forever on this bed of nails
pleasent as it was perfect
it seemed as if heaven remained empty
...you would always be here
atleast ...i hoped
you would lose sleep staring in my eyes
my thoughts, displayed without words for you to read
if eternity was to pass in a second
you would live forever a thousand times before turning away
to see your reflection in my eyes
as if we are one
an incomplete embrace
how could anyone ever truely kiss you
i once sought love
and now...
the memory of an outline no longer there
my thoughts, displayed without words for you to read
if eternity was to pass in a second
you would live forever a thousand times before turning away
to see your reflection in my eyes
as if we are one
an incomplete embrace
how could anyone ever truely kiss you
i once sought love
and now...
the memory of an outline no longer there
i have taken nothing
blank as clear sky
traced the outline of you
creased at the edge
a bridge built to cross neither land or sea
patch the reflection of you into me
with one hand i cut to the corner
with one hand i held us together
your frame would match mine
debris blown stencil lines
vivid as it is white
a paper boy and a paper girl
pieced from the heart of you
...and thought of me
if nothing else exists
we will hold hands endlessly
blank as clear sky
traced the outline of you
creased at the edge
a bridge built to cross neither land or sea
patch the reflection of you into me
with one hand i cut to the corner
with one hand i held us together
your frame would match mine
debris blown stencil lines
vivid as it is white
a paper boy and a paper girl
pieced from the heart of you
...and thought of me
if nothing else exists
we will hold hands endlessly
seclusion crushes them
sleep eternal, i've seeled them in dreams
in hopes they would never have a memory of you
you breathe the world stroke after stroke
painting a peacefull home
a place they would run free
out of my grasp
my withered glass heart shall never shatter
...and your faith soon carried in the wind
away from this
like rust promises become distance
the courage they seak, given in illusion
after everything is said
after you have been forgotten
...if it were me, I would die in this assylum as a coward
than taste the heaven that is you
sleep eternal, i've seeled them in dreams
in hopes they would never have a memory of you
you breathe the world stroke after stroke
painting a peacefull home
a place they would run free
out of my grasp
my withered glass heart shall never shatter
...and your faith soon carried in the wind
away from this
like rust promises become distance
the courage they seak, given in illusion
after everything is said
after you have been forgotten
...if it were me, I would die in this assylum as a coward
than taste the heaven that is you
