you pushed me to the point i prayed i'd never have to go
my body shakes with fervor
mind is racing for the door
my heart and my fists beat walls and heads
right now they're neck-in-neck
i've stood by long enough
now jumping ship before the wreck
we find ourselves ashore
both follow footsteps in the sand
you harbor only pain
i've yet to see [your] righteous path
we're both fallen
faces dirty
but i still know what's right and wrong
see how sticks and stones and hurtful words
break more than bones when thrown
so i challenge you
you dare me to
i throw my cards down on the floor
i've not yet won
but just begun
i'll flip your worth to be candor

yellow red arms branch up
illuminating the heavens
whilst the cold breath of morn chills my soul to wake
and the sky lets out a guttural laugh
that bombs through this little town
the war-cry of the siren
unleashing her reign
pouring
forth
into my veins
with every beat
and every breath
drenching my will
every step
harder to take
leaves gather in gutters
like graveyards
still
a comforting place to fall

my lullaby

into your smile
I fell on through
out of my skin
inside of you
I breathed your air
tasted your scent
you melted my world
and taught me
the difference between love
and openness

it’s how I felt
and now
how I hurt
as I sacrificed my soul
for mere moments with you

my constant broken heart reminds me
of the fragility of being human
i am still in love
though if you asked
my mouth would lie
because the heaviness hasn't left me
and my every thought betrays me
as they go where you do

my lullaby
is over

colour me in

standing in the open road
nothing left for miles
brushes in my hand
all colours, every style
waiting

but my heart wails
sound the slow sad strum
as the rain pours

a slow motion blur
washing away my canvas
no more open
no more road
a whirlpool of colours
muddying together

so I walk
the lines are gone
i colour everything
the way I want

except myself
I need your hand
all i've ever needed is your hand
to colour me in

another love song

i'm miles from where you are
but i've lost all my senses to you
in a raid on my heart
a masque

there was a time
i was drowning in my feelings
now i'm floating upside-down
and i'm not fine

so i've got to get back
got to figure out a way
and i pray that someone picks me up
gives me the strength to let you go

but i hear you in every sound
see you in every smile
i serve my heart up on a plate
in just another love song

your fault

paint my future
black and blue
like my insides
scared by you
rays of sunshine
golden hue
kill me softly
like you do

no sleep is sound
all sound is less
all that I feel
prim and pressed
dress me up
now I am dressed
back in my skin
I’m but a guest

you raised me up
then let me fall
I had it once
I’ve lost it all
I stood before
but now I crawl
I love you so

It’s not your fault

they always ask the question
like they can smell it in the air

so i've been running
so hard
so fast
just to meet you in the middle
as everything explodes into flames
engulfing my whole world

and i see you in the light
i've always seen you in the light
on blackened nights
in absense of right
i'll always see you in the light

and you looked into my eyes
my eyes filled with light
and i saw you
turn around and run
so hard
so fast

dawn to dusk
so quickly
so quickly
so quickly

but my eyes still sparkle

i'm riddled with the moments that pass inbetween
as they grow larger
like lamb on the chew
so hard to swallow now

and i'm fine
or so i'm told

and i know, and have known
for too long now
what my feelings have been
because i've mattered not
to myself

but just one wish i own
and as long as it holds true
i will be fine
i will be fine

thought

thought as a lover
but i kill time
like there is no end
thought as a fighter
but i weep
for the love in my heart burns
thought as a thinker
but my words spew forth
with no thought in my head
thought as an actor
and i act
but of my own accord

six word memoirs

my love for you is ready

cocoon

if I should choose to live in my cocoon
wrap myself in me
and cry myself to sleep
if I should choose to protect my tender heart
build a shell from you
steal myself from you

If I should choose to fall apart
don't you think you should let me
if I should choose to die alone
you should forgive and forget me

if I decided I can't do it anymore
try to be so hard
i'm trying to be so fucking hard
if I should choose to keep lying to myself
pretend my mind is telling truths
well I've got my own so who are you
i know
i know
i know

if I should choose to fall apart
don't you think you should let me
if I should choose to die alone
you should forgive and forget me
you should forgive and forget
me
you should forgive and forget
everything

six word memoirs

if i was beautiful like you

really

sitting here
trying to focus
it's all i can do not to think about
it
and i feel the pain
and my fingers start tapping
and i get to that point
where i just really have to go

six word memoirs

if bullets were candy, i'd di(n)e

brick

the clock strikes 12, i'm at a party
it's new years and i'm with someone
i kiss him then steal a moment
i message you
and i am
scared

the months go by, i see you often
it's hard to breath when you're around
i make a move, you make a move
but we're to blind to notice it

i just smile
lose myself just for a while
don't you see
that it's you i'm dying for?

we're on our way down to toronto
the bus is packed but we're alone
i touch your hand
you touch my hand
i can not look up
i am
scared

the night goes on, i try to focus
the moment caught in my head
i love my friends, but all i want is
to be back on that bus again

i just smile
lose myself just for a while
can it be?
is it me you're dying for?

we're at my house a few days later
we're watching tv on the couch
our friends are gone, my heart is racing
i feel your thoughts
and i am
scared

you make your move, my movement with you
i'm caught in heavens afterglow
you break it off, look into me
you ask to take it somewhere else

i just smile
lose myself just for a while
now i see
that it's me you're dying for

our friends find out, you're getting worried
we confirm everything they've known
the smell of cold, i glimps the future
i brush it off
but i am
scared

we keep it up, tell all our secrets
i'm falling deeper in your eyes
i touch your hand, we're out in public
you pull away
appologize

i just smile
lose myself just for a while
can't you see
it's not me you're dying for?


as weeks went by it showed that we were not fine
and i'm feeling more alone than i ever have
she's a brick
and i'm drowning
cuz i am tired
of lying


we're driving back to my apartment
and for the moment we're alone
and she's alone
and i'm alone
and now i know it

i just smile
lose myself just for a while
now i see
it's not me you're dying for
