Wrapped up in the shell
Of himself, he stares
Out the broken window
Pain, observing all the
People as they walk on by.
Each and every one of them
Too afraid to give him much
More than a fleeting glimpse.
For he was an undersireable,
In mitigating circumstances out of
Reach of himself. And any who
Would dare to hear of his story.
A hellion, solicitor, Murderer.
Atheistic lover of the god in himself
Daring to go against the laws
Of tradition. Customs and societal sense.
With a broken body, with eyes
That are alive burning fervent
With a desire to live the life,
Which they've stolen from him
They; naysayers, pharisees,
Hyprocrites. Who'd rat
Imagine
If we lived in black and white
Escaping all the goddamn grays
That makes us almost
Impossible to live
Without the scrutiny
And I can't say the truth
That everything about you
Is imprinted in my frontal lobe
Even that stupid smirk
You'd use for everyothergirl but [me]
A constant reminder
I'll never escalate to more than
Just, "One of the guys"
My constant humiliation
That I've never managed to free myself
From my mastered masquerade
And all the time I'm wishin'
I wish I had another name
Imagine
Sparks fly, as fireworks light the sky
Painting a lovely hue
And she remembers
All she's forgotten, knowingly
Tears fall, against her will
As she remembers
She remembers
She re-members
Time, is nothing but a hindrance
To all, that still wishes to live in love
And love is nothing but
Nothing but
Nothing,
Anymore
Sparks die, no fireworks in the sky
Darkness, is all that meets the eye
And she has hidden
All her problems, very deep
Tears fall, streaming from her heart
She's breathing under water
She can't take this feeling, of despair
This feeling of despair
And I tell her that I love her
And I, pray that it's enough
Remedies, remedies
Bottles, pre-scribed and filled
None could ever shut down
His marathon mind
He stands by his window
Silently watching the city sleep
And wonders where the sandman is
The man who can make him cease
Cease...Forgetting today
{Forgetting Everything}
Forgetting the dangers of the jungle
Even just for a few hours
Where he can dream he's finally achieved
His lifetime goals
{Dreamed up realities are better than no possibilities}
Instead he's faced with the burden
Of seeing tomorrow
Before he's been revived
Of battles fought yesterday
And just like that,
The dawn breaks even
Already forgetting what he couldn't f
I don't know anymore
How to pray for the little things
Life has to offer, but
Just for the strength to survive, fight
For the rights I'm never gonna have
So I'm gonna fight in this losing battle
For acceptance
Recognition at any level
Happiness now a past dream
I just need to be seen for me
I'll stop counting stars
That fall from the blanket of night
And now gaze at the majesty
Of those still filled with life
I'm gonna climb, I'm gonna fly
To heights, higher
Than they think I can
I'm gonna soar with all these scars
No longer picking at scabs that
Remind me, of the hurt I got
I don't know anymore

don't ask, I won't share
Don't ask what's on my mind
For I'll be forced to tell lies
That I'm all love and and no strife
That there's no hatred behind these eyes
Please don't seek to know
My inner thoughts, for what is there
Is darkness bare
Something, unimaginable...
Tattoo your kiss upon my brow
And paint my thoughts with reminiscences of you
Before I can no longer recall how it was to be loved
-for you've left me here to wilt and die
a rose in a field of nonchalance-
Strum my chords once more
To play the song we matched
Word to sugary melody
-touch me again in spaces that make me sing
for I am happiest, skin pressed against skin-
Create a heated wonder that called for an acclaim
This left us both breathless in the end
Unable to describe the glory of what was
-together we were magical
and I am not afraid of dragons anymore-
Not Anymore...

Umbrella For A Lover
Baby I ain't as strong as
I like you to think
I can't run through walls
Or break your every fall
Shielding life's shortcomings
I'm not as selfless as I seem
I know how "I'm not happy" can be
So I'll not pretend
That these skies will never carry pain
Or say you'll never get wet on cloudy days
Instead I'll be the one
Holding you tight
Giving you warmth
After the sky tears fall
Because I know what it's like
To be caught in the rain
