oh but i'm scared of the dark
(so scared)
i can hear fireworks in the distance
far away

breath in deep
drift to sleep
i'll hold you here in my arms
god i love you more than life

oh but i miss you so much
like my heart my heart is ripped apart.

quiet now (hush)
i'll kiss you when i'm home.
i miss your skin and your hair
i miss your smile
i miss your laugh

oh but i'm tired (so tired)
time to die
time to slip beneath the waves
surf, sand, and time.

time will pass

love never fades

i love you
(i love you too)

maybe i might.

have you ever stood in the rain
and let the drops mingle with the pain
that streams down your face? and even if you
could stop it,
                    why would you want to?

cause there's gonna be another storm tonight
and my razorblade might slip again
and your blood might freeze and melt and freeze again.

like that day i stood on the top of the bridge
and looked down,
                           down,
                                      into hell.
                           it was far, but not far enough
keep cutting, keep bleeding, keep dying, keep dancing.

hey thunderclap
hey skin and skin that meet and mold
      fingers that touch and grasp and hold
                                                             each other
                                                             together
                                                             forever.

fingerprints     

february 24 2008

so am i a lone observer on this starless night?
the air so chilled that i can't feel my fingertips.
you're whispering these words so close to the truth
That I can even feel you breathing.

stop the world spinning
i need to get my head on straight.
no one can tell you who i am
but you can tell me what i'm not.

why do you act so surprised
every time your world comes crashing down around you?
the most complicated questions
always have the simplest answers.

hey, you with the fingerprints-
love has a million analogies, and i am one of them.
screaming lies
filling the silence
falling from above.

look closer past my blackened eyes
sometimes not even we can get back out of this
wouldn't we like to?
oh, to feel again.
