Shack

If I Won the Lotto, I'd Buy Forgiveness

From Dusk Till Dawn

Distant You Were In Tortured Dreams

*Even My Imagination Won’t Let Us Entwine*

Your Eyes Spoke Miles of Unavoidable Truths

*Honesty That Should Only Exist in Reality*

Every Night I Loved, Every Day I Lost

*When Will This Ache End?*

You Took Away My Rest and Left Me Exhausted

By Your Commitment to Haunt Me


*At Last Illusions Evolve to My Hearts Contentment*

From the Touch of Hands

Now Those Nights Could Never Cause Resentment

Escape These Walls

You Build These Walls To Make a Home
For Yous Both To Live In
And The Day She Left She Dug a Hole..
How You Wished You Never Let Her.
Now You Stand In the Rain Because You finally Realise...

...She Was Your Shelter!

And All You Can Stand To think About
Is the Last Day...

..That You Felt her

But I'll Be Here For You
Because The Day I Built My Walls...

....He Left Me Too..

Months Pass On And You Wake To The Sun
And Oh God How You Wished You Felt It,
And Though The Rain Has Gone
You Still See The Hole She Left Up On Your Ceiling..

But I'll Be Here For You!
Because The Day I Built My Walls...

    


 He Left Me Too

Poetic, Painful, Panic

The Heart Pounds,
It's not Mine,
It can't Be.

It's Unfamiliar.
My Chest Expands
To A Beat Thats Overpowering.
I Don't Understand Anymore.

Poetically, Painfully, Panicked.

Put My Hand To Your Heart,
Slow Me Down.

Time Stops.

I Have Inhaled Pure, Paranoia Concentrate.
I warn you
My Heart Will Stop
I Can't Make It Through This.


Then, My Heartbeat Drops




Thank you.

Bricks To Build With

The Lights Reflects my Best Intentions
But Even I Don't Know What's Best Anymore

I Once Tried My Hand at Construction
Constructing a Place Where I Belong
Where I Can Fit
But Even I Can't Lift These Bricks Anymore

I Scream at my Default Setting
LIVE, LAUGH, CRY, SMILE
.......nothing..........

I Try Not To Always Write So Darkly
But Soon Everyday at Half Five I'll Be Surrounded By It

I Walk Through History in a City That Knows Too Much
"You've Taken Something from Me, You've Taken My Light"

Can I Run Again?
Because I Feel Like I've been Running My Whole Damned Life

The Grief of Doubt

Ties to what should have been
She leans into his structure

It came to a close in warmer days
But now regret seeps and it will rupture

Crying out for a hand from whom she feels she needs
But her burning desire for a ventured man
Is laced around her greed

Push him away to save your heart
Wake up in pain from grief of doubt

Isolation

They Say it Takes a lot To Taste This
The Clarity of Isolation
But I Feel the Quality of Peace
Is Lost in my Frustration

Seasons Turn Into One
And I Can Not Break Until It's Done
But There's No Hope For me on The Outside

So I'll Stay Isolated

Love Frustration

I Whisper Through the Shadow of Today,
If Ever I Could Demand To Yell,
No Echo Would Reach These Halls,
Of my Seclusion.

Reach Me!
Try to Declare Some Truth Spoken
With Impenetrable Lips.
I Am Not My Keeper.
I Am But A Part Of An Entity That Could Hail Storms 
To Devour Hearts Of Pure Love Frustration



To Love Is To Live.
It Brings Paranoia to Hearts 
That Never Told The Tale Of Having One Being That Is Themselves ,


No Heart Has Any Wealth When One Cannot Love Thyself

Once the King Was Shot

Complete.
This Atmosphere They've Created Makes Me Soar
I Am High From Their Melody Lines.
They Have Taken Nothing And Yet Everything From My Limbs As I Gravitate Towards Them.

I Have Longed For This 'Feeling'

  *Just As He Sings This word"

Forget What You Knew, Forget The Basic Theory Behind This...
It Just Cannot Be Calculated!

Emma's Song

A Man With A Broken Voice,
Yet He Always Had The Choice To Speak His Mind,
If Only He Could Find The Time.
And She Was Just a Lonely Girl,
And Her Only Claim To Fame
Was To Fix His World

But She Could Only Walk Behind
As Shadows Cast Her Face
Of Ghosts That Haunted His Life
And She Could Only Be Denied,
And Stand by his Side and Cry

But I Won't,
No I Won't Be The One
To Walk Away.
Why Don't You Stay A While?
Please Stay A While

How Could I Let Him Down?

But He Was a Mystery,
He Got Lost In The Lust Of Wanting More
And Though She Found this Such a Bore,
She Still Stood Strong.
Not Confused By All The Things That He Did So Wrong.

And Still She Only Walked Behind,
As these Shadows Cast Her Face Of Ghosts That Haunted His Life.
She Could Only Be Denied And Stand By His Side
And Cry.....
