I'm a filthy liar telling tales in white to keep us all together. / Spinning fables like "Its alright, we'll make it through, I promise." / When in reality we're two birds of the same feather, you see? / Toss one stone so light, and take us both down, both down to bleed. // What do you believe is on the other side of everything? / Pessimist always saw the glass half empty, optimist had better things to do with his time like stare up to the sun and blind his eyes. / What do you think is on the other side of everything? / Don't over exert your voice when you sing. / The miracle will leave you breathless; Its closer than expected.

Kings

You're a god made of man, not a man made of god. / A good man can have anything he wants and it looks like that's what you've got. / So show her off in that dress you bought. // The simplest way that a tyrant succeeds is his subjects feel that they are free. / Are the men in the room kings Or merely jesters and pawns? / Let's dance like everyone can see In the courtyard, you and me surrounded by the sounds of this kingdom crumbling around our feet. // Anxiety is eating me from the inside out. / Ripping off the paint from the dry walls around my heart. / Buildings empty inside now, the support has busted out. / The ceilings falling now, this empire is going to collapse. // Like a burning house. / A burning house. / Burn me down. / Desecrate me.

Calm down, just breathe You'll be alright I promise. / He won't be around much longer./ Break down, in tears telling me that he'll be sorry For throwing everything away. // No, I'm not trying to sleep with you I just want to lie in bed. / And dream next to you in the master bedroom. / This king sized mattress is nothing without a queen. / So lie next to me and fall asleep. // I always wanted to speak my mind But bit my tongue instead. / So lost inside silence to find The moment where it ends. / Take my time I've been moving slowly these days (Take my time). / Cherishing each second as it flies by. // Take my time.

Funeral Clothes

We're gathering data for the record books. / Go about your business as usual. // Juxtaposed to your tuxedo / Little black dress incognito. / Intimidating as she's slinking down the aisle toward the altar. / Brain is pacing heart is racing. / Will your soul let her in? / Diving deep while fast asleep down the darkness in your head. // The power and control you feel in Funeral Clothes. / Pseudo sophistication to conceal your lesions. / Hiding underneath the single suit that you keep clean. / 'Cause God is always watching everything that you have seen. // Take off your jacket and just relax for a while, ok? / Converse with me about everything that you have seen. / Submit into me your deepest darkest insecurities. / Pull a string from your tie and unravel your life, I'm here patiently listening. // Her hands are shaking from fear. / She's trembling./ Just let your hair down. / Oh darling calm down. // Go about your business as usual.

I moved states away but you're stuck in my mind like remembering the breeze and how the light shines. / Shimmering I, fell apart inside my cage. / Realizing nothing gets easier with age (Nothing gets easier). // The storm has passed the rain is gone. / Move my feet and move along. / Stuck in place I've been here far too long. / Forever's come and passed me by. / Packed up fast and moved along. / A few too many times I've apologized. // Well I'm not sorry! / Its over used I'm so confused by what you mean. / Hold on to the thought before it's lost, / Wake from dreaming // I moved states away but spend every evening cataloging conversations staring at the ceiling. / Remembering I lost my pride and dignity. / Transcribing sentiment to trade off like commodities. // Well I'm not sorry, not sorry. / (I feel out of touch with myself and everyone else. / I wish this distance was the only thing keeping us separate)

When all the leaves die, will the roots and branches stand their own? / Drain all of my energy, / hollow body void of vitality. / Essence is a masterpiece that dies on display. / Remember my colors and not a fancy frame. // Can we antiquate this life again? / When the fall leaves die, what's still within? / We're defined by the groundwork we laid! / We're derived from the soil and the rain! // Germinate and break through the gravity that's holding you down inside your soul. / Never grow up, never grow old, never move on. / Locked inside my shell, Release me from this hell. / Morning light, sunrise. / Awake, stretch to the sky. / Or decompose at night. // Time came and went but I never moved an inch, / You came and went but I never moved an inch. / (If it ever worked, we'll never know. / Do you ever wonder? I'll never know.)

The Golden Scene

The sun burns for thousands of years, but light through our windows stays 'til the evening. / We go to sleep when daylight leaves, escape from the world unconscious / so our hearts can truly speak. // Sleep child, your mind is golden. / Your eyes reflect the land I see. / Sleep child, your mind is golden. / Your eyes inflect a hand in need. // When we're awake our eyes are open, but they see better when they're closed. // We set sail on open waters to find an ocean to cross or a mountain to climb, end up under stalactites. // Close your eyes and wake up in the nearest cave. // Open wide, this daylight is here to save you.

I'm the artist you're the clay. / Let me mold you to my desire. / Pull you in with my touch again. / I've always been your favorite liar. / We're young and impressionable. / So love, I impress upon you. / Progress starts with a single step. / Life's easy when you move / forwards and passing through. // Kimberley don't do this to me. / Standing alone on the corner. / Bruises turning black and blue. / Your innocence is shining through. / Kimberley don't do this to me. / You always gave the green light. / But goodnight and sleep tight. / I'll see you in the morning, or not. // Hold on to what you see. / Grip is slipping on reality. / Don't fall asleep just yet. / I'm telling every story off the top of my head. / Casting dreams and movie scenes of you in my bed yet I'm sitting at the red. // Passive aggressive, jealous of others. / Manic obsessive, what do you lack? / Wreck of emotions, hyperventilating / Suffering from a panic attack. / Broken mirror, bad luck for years. / Getting wasted on soda and liquor. / Drying your tears, this always happens to her. / Try to forget him by burning your pictures.

My train of thought is derailed from your two cents on the track. / Focus fading on the exhale you're picking up the slack. / While I'm picking up the pieces but each puzzle piece is black. / And I'll never have the answers until they're all reattached. / And without a word goodbye I slip into the night. / It's not what it seems, Trust in, trust in me. // I can almost see the stars but I'm not inspired. / I can't close my eyes, I'm everything but tired. / Still this smoke and movement hanging in the air. / I'm ready to have a heart anywhere but here. // If you could crack my skull to release all of the pressure. / It's been crowded in here lately, questions come and go at leisure. / While the answers all avoid me, Simultaneously lingering. / I'd speak if I could mutter something But I adjust, but I just... // A piece of her heart is my peace of mind The pieces won't fit without you by my side.

I've felt disconnected far too many times. / Separate from myself, immersed in social context. / I've felt attached for way too long, I'm cutting ties to right my wrongs. / It's high time to break free // I'm going off the grid to unplug and unwind. / To back when we were kids with something left to find. / Static and white noise overrunning all my technology. / Tangled up in cables, new human anatomy. // Staring at a screen, Let the computer think. / When did we become so dependent on everything that we created? / Attached at the hips, like lovers or twins. / Respond to me! Control, alter, delete / You received this message in error.

The Earth is my boat, It's weight on my shoulders. / My legs can't hold up any longer. / The voice in my head whispering lies. / Ruining me, I wish I was stronger. / The boy who cried wolf can speak no more. / It finally sank his teeth in my skin. / The vessel crashing into the water. / Bringing up an early end. // As this ship casts off on its final journey across the horizon, who will see it depart from us? / Go down like sunsets . / They finally close their eyes. // Firework eyes burn into me. / Her laughter echoes in the dark. / Hold my hand, just one last time. / Don't leave me now, not yet. / And though I smile, I'm cold inside. / Like raining when the sun is out. / The light, it tries to fall asleep, but it comes back tomorrow. // And if heaven rejects your soul the skies will scream your name. / The clouds will cry in sorrow. / In our hearts you will remain. / And if heaven rejects your soul the skies will scream your name. / The ground will tremble for you. / In our hearts you will remain.
