Words Collapse

souls in part
you fell at heart
holding your possession
holding all you had

folding time
all those lame rhymes
give away this idea of life
give away to get the other

words collapse under thoughts
heavy fog, why you forgot
none of this means anything
none of this saves me
you've taken what you need
left me here confused

needle points
directions irrelevant
look down paths to follow
look down options in sight
hold on to your feelings
then let them out at night

You Hold Me Down

A friend's love is like an anchor, 

they hold you down. 

They care for you when you can't move forward. 

But sometimes you have to set sail...

that is, until the one day when you must again find a safe harbor. 

That day is when they will be right back at your side, 

to hold you down...making you realize that you never should have left in the first place.

elusive.

i've been here before.
full but wanting more
give up too easily
and it shows up at my door

don't let yourself down
or yourself might not come back around

no one understands
you've convinced yourself of this
but you'd be surprised
from all this pain comes bliss

don't let yourself down
or yourself might not come back around

and happiness is elusive
as is everything else
so quit being static
and search for it yourself

inside out

build up walls and let no one in
if you play that game you'll never win
I'm here, here to listen to anything
tell me your thoughts at least begin

i love you, we all do
what do you see in you?

its about the things that you do well
those beautiful blue eyes and that pretty smile.
you always had me beat
but underneath those pretty teeth...
there's something inside thats worthwhile.

i hope you see it too.
i hope you see it in you.
i hope you see it too.
i always do.
i always do...

worlds apart

drop the world you hold in your hands
someone will pick it up
just to see you fall again

i may not be able to see the sun
but it still shines on the face of someone
around the world who i have never met
they too won't know its secrets until theirs has set.

worlds apart but not too far.

drive

i let you drive
here i sit to the side
tell you about my desires
tell you about my fears
hoping you are listening
background noise,
still i hope you hear

and sometimes i close my eyes
i put full trust in you
though i don't know where you take me
the trust builds stronger the farther we go

ingenue (big words are more specific)

i wish you were lucid
i wish i understood
these nights i lie awake
i've done everything i should
but your lack of specificity
is quite confusing for me

i wish this not to be ephemeral
i wish this not to be an imbroglio
you imbue this feeling inside me
and so im curious to see
where this all may lead

though i find our situation serendipitous...

i dont want to play the part of the ingenue
that just happened to fall for a guy like you

[the ingenue that fell for you
the ingenue that fell for you]
