Pass My Lips

All this steam escaping my skin.
into your throat, it never gets in.
Words that never pass my lips.
I had tem laid out in a script.
I want you to know, I want you to see.
Everything trapped inside of me. 
The things I cant say
drive me insane. 
They burn through my mind
but cant find an escape.
I know your not reading
You just hear me singing.
Im controlling my breathing.
but my heart is screaming.

One Love Two Hearts

one word
two songs.
meet me in the middle.
I wanna hear someone else sing
And maybe Iv got something to say.
maybe.
one thought
two minds.
lets get together.
I wanna feel a different heart beat
and maybe youd like to feel mine.
maybe.
one love
two hearts.
Im already there.
I wanna exist in someone else
and maybe theres room in you.
maybe.

Grave of Those Hearbeats

I have put a block of cement on the grave of those heartbeats. 
I have carved sins in my skin;
self indused punishment.
I have harbored an entire navy of guilt
and kept the ships afloat with my tears.
I have been drawn in by bait
and ripped my lips on the hook.
I have chewed on rocks 
and tied down my tounge.
I apologized to myself
because you didnt know how to. 
I have sucked my own venom 
and hid the scars.
I have grown tired of pretending
and now the cement is dry.

My Imaginary Friend

Absorb me like sugar my imaginary friend.
You'v got me wrapped around your finger.
Evaporate my skin.

So this time I will cry and never let it go.
I sing that song at night but you will never know.
Toss the lamp and rip the carpets
but I still know Im caught in your net.
I still hear you though the phone lines are dead.
You left your touch sown in my skin like thread.

So this time I will hide and pretend to let it go.
I hate that your inside and I cant let it show.
Burn the nightmares and scream on paper.
But I'll have a good dream sooner or later.

Filter out the sugar
goodbye imaginary friend.
I wont let my teardrops linger.
Shed away my skin.

Sometimes

Sometimes I like it when I bleeding
because when Im dying I know that Im not dead.
Sometimes I like it when Im empty
because then I know theres a space I can fill in.

Like a Movie

this is the part where im supposed to cry 
but those glands are dry. 
you wont ask why. 
I doubt its crossed your mind. 
your just another peron 
living in this world 
Im just another memory 
just another girl. 
but your my never ending chapter 
who my dreams are chasing after. 
even in the daylight 
those thoughts are in sight. 
but Im your eternal victum 
though you havent got a clue. 
I watch you like a movie 
I know all the things you do.

Throbbing

maybe its the enviorment
or the throbbing in my head.
maybe that I have no home
not even a bed.
It could be that Im scared of change
or scared it wont be bad.
Stuborn in my first instincts
I wont leave what I have.

They all say Im not alone
they know just how it feels
I understand that we all cry  
but were crying different tears.
And no amount of pretty words
or harsh lectures of the truth
will change the way my mind is set
and what you know I'll do.

Short

Im still dreaming by the fire
though the flames are growing higher.
Im still gazing at the stars 
even though there way too far.

Moves On

Life moves on 
but I dont think I do. 
You can seal the bandage
but I pick at the wounds. 
Life moves on 
but I dont think I do.
You can walk away
but Im still burried in you.

As Long As They Need You

how unacceptable.
finding a way around the rules.
bending the laws
and stretching the truth.
sinking your own ship 
and saving the crew.
stabbing their backs
and sewing the wounds.
rip them like paper
then glue them together.
tear them apart
so you can give them your heart.
be the villian then the hero
as long as they need you.
the more pain you create 
the more souls you can save.
your two hearts 
with the same beat
keep them all wondering 
which you they'll meet.
Should they be afraid?
and thats the price you pay.
