Got a little space Between the soul and the heart The gaps between my ribs It all belongs to you So if I could pay With my weight tears For a single day with you I have earned us a lifetime And maybe March Will be kind, will be merciful And we will celebrate Piscean births

Unlearn 04:25
You could rip your heart out Have it beating in your fist You could say you did it for love But I'd never get the gist Cause why you wanna a girl like me? Battered, bruised, and burned like me? Oh why you wanna a girl like me? I'm damaged goods oh cant you see? And you could scream it from mountain tops Your proclamations send You could say it all for love But I know that all love....ends So why you wanna a girl like me? Battered, bruised, and burned like me? Oh why you wanna a girl like me? I'm damaged goods oh cant you see? Cause all I've tasted is bitter Bitter ends on rusted spoons Cause all I've felt is useless Like life on a dessert moons But maybe things are different Are you the bleeding heart of home Who does it all for love? Stop my tired soul a roam And maybe soon I wont ask why Oh maybe soon I will believe That broken toys have earned their love A love that I can conceive For you For you For you For you...

Oxymoron 03:11
I lie on the floor Wood grain my only embrace And all I want is simplicity A simple sigh, A simple word And I stand With my feet bare And dance the dance of lee A simple sway, a simple twist And I don't blame you You are well schooled One word turns to a hundred A complex mind, a complex tongue And I don't want less You are necessary excess One emotion turns to one hundred A complex heart, a complex feeling And I need simplicity But simplicity is complex Complex to hold Complex to reach And don't you see I simply need....you And I don't blame you You are well schooled One word turns to a hundred A complex mind, a complex tongue And I don't want less You are necessary excess One emotion turns to one hundred One emotion turns to one hundred A complex, a complex feeling...

Just wanna learn to be a human being But survival is the hardest lesson to learn Can't write it down on paper Can't learn it in just one course So wouldn't it be great If every day had a sitcom ending? A laugh track for your troubles and your woes A happy ending to eternal eternal days And I wouldn't say it to your face But watching friends become wives Become mothers Feels like salt in the wounds Of my cliche failures Cause everybody's got a purpose Got a focus that isn't them To distract from the fact that they haven't found themselves And they know they never will But sometimes there's relief Find love is morphine for the hits Like a blindfolded kiss after you've been beat Life becomes Neverland despite the bruises But you can get hooked on unfeeling Love can become the pain And all you ever feel becomes love and its jaws And you wished it'd all stay the same But you can't excuse yourself with youth Too old to make this many mistakes And too young so unprepared Twenty something you're unfair So cut me in half with that double edged sword Cause I finally figured it out.... Survival is taking the torture, the beating The risk, the empire fall And lifting your splattered soul off the pavement Be ready to begin again Be ready to begin again Be ready to begin again

Never You 04:52
I still thank the tiny vessels Who pour the blood into your hands Kept them idle Kept me waiting Kept me hoping for a plan And I love the fake affection That your love has now become Kept this idle Kept you waiting Kept me safe from harm And I'll mourn myself in night time Mourn the hours I have lost Mourn the love that I have given But I'll never mourn your cost Cause you're yesterday's nightmare I got new dreams to unleash Keep me going Keep you losing Keeping hope at reach And I'm thankful for myself Mistress warm and still resilient Keep me living Kept you breathing Kept myself from harm And you're a phantom limb now A vacancy within my chest Love forgotten You're forgiven But don't put me to the test So I'll mourn myself in night time Mourn the me that I had made Mourn the me I had forgotten Never mourn that which I gave Because what the fuck did I lose That was ever within you? Sure I lost my time Lost my feeling But I never lost in you And I'm taking back what's mine Everything that I had given This is my heart This is my love This is my life that I'm livin' Cause I'll mourn myself at night time Mourn the years that I have tossed Mourn the daydream apparitions But I'll never mourn your loss Cause I'll mourn myself at night time Mourn the years that I have tossed Mourn the daydream apparitions But I'll never mourn your loss ,...no I'll never mourn your loss

One day I will awaken Mere minutes from 80 and dust But for now I feel 80 and dead Cause life has seemed to pass my by Oh I let it slip on by And Destiny, she was calling Loud, strong, and clear But I fell into waves for fear Static roar drowned my baby's calling Let her sink to the ocean floor And there she will lie With my sunken treasures My sweet Courage My lovely Esteem My radiant Faith My beloved Drive Let them all rest in peace Oh please let them all rest in peace And one day they will all break the surface To kill me with one swift blow For being a murderous lover For letting them sink to the ocean floor Oh the ocean floor And one day I will awaken Lying next to you dear Destiny 80 years too late for your love But please kiss me dear anyway And take me to the bottom of the sea And there she will lie With my sunken treasures My sweet Courage My lovely Esteem My radiant Faith My beloved Drive Let them all rest in peace Oh please let them all rest in peace
