I smile. Sometimes.
Years can’t save the time it’s killed
My eyes are an empty battlefield
You can’t fight your way in anymore
“It’s boys like you who try too hard.”
Fingers wrapped around my own
Numbness knows how I have grown
I came, I saw, I tried my best
Avoid my heart and love the rest
Fallen leaders who were never just that
In desperate need of an invincible scratch
Fitting crossed truths all in a line
Dear night, I’m a window’s mine
Count me in, I’ll end the sea
Skipping bridges like you loved me
Breakthrough dreams with my name attached
Remember when you wanted me back?
Just love as long as you can stand
And keep that pen under your hand
I want to own the place where stares meet
and our best tries are never beat
I’ll try not to buckle under pressure
Needs and wants never had a measure
Boy, lend me that charm and I’ll build it a frame
Yeah, here’s your gift; seasonal fame
Spinning fire and balanced truths
Maybe it’ll lead me closer to you
If it gets all the beatings out
You’ll speak of me without a sound
I’ll live in that place where dreams of ships drowning the earth
Are only expressed “in other words.”
We finally got the clock to work
Still just sparks of hope and a lonely quirk
How do we know who’s our “one” if we never try them all?
Tears set in stone from a weightless fall
Tragic fairytales
Are my handicap rails
Relying on adrenaline
And a body called sin
Bust open my mouth or leave me half dead
I’ll always make your only difference
It’s a runaway’s hell and I call it my own
Chills shot my spine and carried me home
Tickled the leaves down, but not during the fall
Back where I belong we never loved at all.
