I Hope You Decide

Hello,
Allow me to introduce myself.
I've come so very far, to feel like I belong.
I know,
I'll suffer the consequences
for all the things I've done, to be who I've become.
I hope you decide to stay away
For the time being
I'm told I'm doing okay.
You see,
There's nothing happening to me.
I can't explain a change
Though you say I'm not the same.
Think back,
It never happened quite like that.
My memory remains intact,
You could at least give me that.

Hand in Hand

Go to sleep, my love.
I know today was hard.
Rest your head on my shoulder,
Hold me in your arms.
You and me, who we long to be,
and I know, we'll be found,
hand in hand.
Slide your hand in mine,
close your heavy eyes
In the morning, awake to reveal
to me your dreams.
The light will pour passed every lash
and I know, we'll be found
hand in hand.

Suitors and Comedians

Nothing goes, nothing stays.
Dust on my shelf, blood in my veins.
I feign interest in unchecked claims,
on foreign subjects from forgetful names.
I shouldn't complain, I'm the same.
Overcompensating for being to blame.
One day I know you'll catch me again
Until then I'll fall, even if I pretend.
Know you're my heart and always in my head
And all things aside, you're my closest friend.
And I always knew it was inevitable
you said for me there was only you
but for what you needed, I wouldn't do.
you signed your name on The End of the World
A gift you gave, an impression made
a memento I'll save
till my dying day.
suitors and comedians made a statue of stone
an edifice to crack, and conquer and loan.
Memories are playful they adapt to the tune
Swaying in time between desire and truth.
But I always knew it was inevitable.

Time and Time Again
03:09
|

You've helped me more than you can comprehend
You've helped me see this through.
I wanna tell you time and time again:
that I love you.
Instead I say, it's wonderful to be with you tonight.
And talk about our fallen friends
and remembering every line
Wishing we could make it up to them
But how it wasn't their time.
So time and time again
You've been around.
To help pick me up when
I start tumbling down.
and I wanna say thank you.
And talk about our hidden joys
and swear to never say a word
Block out all the other noise
and truly be heard.
and I wanna say thank you.

Plateau
03:35
|
|||
|
The breeze brings a chill from the shore
It's been resting inside me, since I was born.
Walking alone towards a plateau
Home has never been this far before.
As long as it motivates me,
it won't debilitate me.
Look back on the past you hide
Let regrets ebb with the tide.
Your countenance betrays
The truth you hide
In the things you say.
Why are you
So afraid
Of the way you are
and the ways you'll change?
My family's history whispered to me
Ineligibility
Love isn't flesh and blood
It's not being used till you've had enough
Don't raise a child out of spite
Don't blame others for your life
The choices you made
Are yours alone.
Not your baby boy's
Not your wife's.

I Still Love You
02:37

I never wanted anything I couldn't get on my own.
Now I see that's illusory
More than ever before.
You fed me, till I had my fill.
You loved me, more than anyone ever will.
A photo of our younger days, you built a family in that house
That I used to laugh and play, look at how we'd gather 'round.
You fed me, till I had my fill,
You loved me, more than anyone ever will.
I still love you
After all these years.
