Sacred Heartbeats

Once upon a time you were so naïve behind the mask
here comes the sun I'd rather dance with the wind in the sky
eyes of a dreamer sleep comes on tiptoes adrift in the milky way
fearless short notes fly you can't seem to find the air to breathe
so lets leave this city behind all that noise steps feel like flight
.....
Intellectual dreams a disappearing act once begun now finished
venture to my wonderland hidden away be still my love is glittering
smiles that make me color outside the lines silken butterfly wings
pretty sounds and sacred heartbeats a century shadows your eyes
so soon will you become the missing piece to my so lonely memory
......
Once upon a time this sparling feeling was eclipsed by rainbows
watch the milky moon rise take my hand dance amongst the stars
petals in the air blue birds watching body snatchers with curiosity
I'm only sleeping so I can hold your hand in my dreams undaunted
so lets fly on butterfly wings to my wonderland never to grow old

Shallow Lives

Spread words about me without truth tonight we drown
another morning another place starlit eyes slowly glaze over
fake that you are in control they don't look close enough anyway
these blatant emotions won't keep us together made up lovers
once the prettiest girl now she is but a skeleton slowly adrift
;;;;
Slowly hold me in a pressure choke hold tonight we drown
you've got me love sick this disease refuses to leave my mind
rebel against the stereotype that is forcing you to become a lie
pray for the unknown let the moon hear your wishes sing a lullaby
become an empty shell sleeping with forever shadows watery depths
;;;;
Silently addicted to this black and white murmur tonight we drown
killing with glances tangled up inside strike out with vengeance
we are broken beyond repair yet you're too young to die
the grudge is held captive in your eyes feel the electric shock
throw me a life saver I can't stay afloat any longer shallow lives end

Save the Hopeless

This is the calm before the storm hear how the silence echoes
no more attractions we are dying slowly this is where you're wrong
shadows creep through the moonlight blow the candle out
this dark romance twists around my beating love so many secrets
much like falling we are unable to rise mistakes I haven't made haunt
'''''''
The crimson sunset on my skin see how my heart is eclipsing
held captive against the will a dream catcher you become
exploded feelings splattered across the page this is a tortured rebirth
flow like water give me hope the world is now ours for the taking
take this sinking emotion turn it into something worth breathing
'''''''
So much past violence yet there are no legible signs in your eyes
our souls turn against us once again give my memories back to me
days fade slowly my walls fall this is a love hate transmission
sing songs you once used to sing whistle to the heavens
catch me if you can this is how you save a heart

Tragic Movements

Tragedy unfolds tonight as the stars twinkle
sever my skin from my body let the memories overwhelm
forgive my hesitation never once did I believe this could happen
take one glimpse realize that no matter how much pain there is
my heart will never stop beating for you and only you
...
My armor is cracking and you have found the weakness
hide the secrets in your head we are falling apart tonight love
let this myth become something more watch the world blur
stop this child's play turn back from the corrupter the sky is falling
this empty shell has been brought to life by the sun in your eyes
...
Wish into the wind let your whispers fly up to the heavens
hummingbirds fly in between lilies as you catch my swinging hand
feel the rainbow teach me how to breathe tonight we drown
never take these heart shaped glasses off color my shadows
movements between the silence tragedy unfolds as the sun rises

Dormant Lovers

Beware of a secret stare lets not disturb the peace
the ghosts are around us begin to reminisce in between fog
I waited alone under the willow puff frost into the February air
no more words watch the world fall from my fingertips
breathe in the cold dormant flowers and lovers wait for spring
***
Hidden secrets strip my mind of its virginity naked exposure
familiar feelings leave you wishing for a way out of this
discover a way to hell let this become a legend long remembered
brilliant drops fly from the sky flashing rainbows bring the warmth
the delicacy of an unrealized dream slowly bring me to life
***
Midnight poison just like innocence we'll be dreaming
negative symptoms to this wonderland immaculate
lets handle this frailty with care rushing only leads to tears
such a happy mess break me in the shadows where no one can see
chills creep down my spine in this February air waiting for spring

Give Me Wings

It's a kind of magic this going out of my mind
twisted telephone wire has become the only connection
life becomes but a movie in slow motion kids on overload
playing fingertips in the strangest of places ignore the privacy signs
cupid's arrow flies swiftly by my eye unscathed yet still captured
===
Play my heartstrings until the night sweeps us away
we all know the sad songs lets create a melody worth living
motion sickness plagues my bones my head is light with dreams
something once given up long ago becomes a hope unexpected
dormant hearts slowly awaken to the dawning sunshine
===
This picture frozen in my mind we will never forget
mean every smile that lights up the evening darkness
phantom lover whisk me away on the last train for home
the sky has captured me I want to fly but my back is wingless
take my hand whisper so softly I will give you wings

Monsters.

Your screams send shocks down my spine to my toes
this has become such a communication breakdown
eyes watering from the whip lash my bones begin to hurt
your head is in the clouds but there is nothing left to feel
forget about the monsters creeping under your bed
'''
Learn how to disappear completely survive off of prison food
bang goes my mind breathe in these stories of silence
become just another pretty face in a crowded room of uglies
every mess invented pours from your lips like it's make believe
it's not that we're scared we've just forgotten how to love
'''
The way we come undone is a mystery to every scholar
let this daydream become routine strangers dance in the sky
this is important if we meet again let the tension go
constellations spin around lose me when you connect the stars
I have fallen for a monster creeping under my bed

Eerie Flight

Breathe in hope and breathe out tortured doubt
like a lark launching into the blue sky let your love take flight
lightening never strikes in a single place more than once
give up on wrapping your mind around the unexplainable intent
life is nothing but a twist in this fairytale of mine
<>
Make believe that this will somehow be worth all the lies
shake your fist at the world then curl up and disappear
splatter the canvas with the ashes of your own crumbling heart
this world may get you down but it has set me free
red lipstick all over the forbidden fruit become an elimination
<>
Breathe in submission breathe out glorious freedom
don't disregard the thorns on the stem of my scarlet rose
you lie to the mirror so your poker face will not waver
laughter resonates down the hall eerily echoing in your head
take a leap off the cliff spread your wings escape this nightmare

Colorless Imperfection

Discover a town that has long been forgotten cold and gray
memories past corrupt the minds of the innocent
remember what it was like to bleed from the inside out
kiss the one that brings nothing but discord into your life goodbye
sing a song no one knows as we run towards the nonexistent lights
::::
This life is a melody played by angels on the highest cloud
you move in your own way to placate the inner demons
fall for the hope of a beating emotion that eludes your understanding
darling lets not put up walls when they only get torn down
scary things you predict slowly throw me out of control
::::
Lady winter wraps the world in her blanket of frigid cold
what was yesterday is not today lets cherish the memories again
love letters have gotten lost in the sending no place to call your own
dream of aliens and butterflies imagine the intent of horrors
hold your breath this is the truth of my unborn life

Shadow Oracles

Darling I've let you so close yet you're still so far
the phone rings I just want something to call my own
tie a satin ribbon around the very beating of your emotion
I don't need any more heart ache angelic whispers drip lies
keep the deceit inside your pictures of crimson and crossbows
,,,
You're an addict to the ever spinning manipulations
keep the lights on at night so I can find my way back home
gulping goldfish flounder on the sand so far from their watery air
twilight sheds an eerie glow on their still forms walk slowly by
it's a pity you never could find it in yourself to save a life
,,,
Become caught in the glaring headlights inevitable car crash
you look so peaceful when you're asleep in my arms
lets not burn these bridges quite yet make a wish on a shiny star
when you leave me for dead I promise you will never forget
twisted lips become the ghosts of your haunted future

Pray for Your Life

Heated wax slowly drips onto your scarlet letter
seal it with a kiss and the fire of the moment
before the chill wind sucks all the warmth from your skin
create an emotion that hasn't been discovered yet
let the screams shred your lungs cough up a wine colored flood
///
Toss the dice play your cards take a chance on the gamble
sly eyes and devious looks cut the tension with a knife
lock the doors when you slip up more than once imprisoned joy
become the one that dies at the end of every movie
refuse to let life give you the four leafed clover play it like a fool
///
Pull the precious air into your collapsing lungs stay afloat
feel the deadly ocean dragging you under to Atlantis
forever become one with the fish and seaweed mermaid unspoken
pray for someone to recognize you are slipping away
some say they have seen the dead wandering the watery grave

Six Feet Under

My silent eyes reveal that I am in love with the idea of love
dear I never wanted it to be this way pain laced whispers
tell a tall tale of caresses and open eyes purge your doubts
sleepless nights mixed with an understanding that makes no sense
fall out of this meaningless atmosphere hit the ground never rise
===
Lets not make this chaos into something we will regret
honesty fades with this pressure stealing my breath
erase the memories you're six feet down you can't hold on
cut my bond to humanity watch the scarlet ashes fly away
fall out of this meaningless attachment hit the ground never rise
===
My strength begins to disappear shake with the pin prick
the idea of love suddenly seems so tempting cursed words haunt
this is the end of everything I have struggled to become
ghosts arrive to be my only friends sleeping never waking
fall out of this meaningless life bury me six feet under never rise

Run Away Girl

Scream silent words of agony let the air rip your lungs
slowly contort your body till it fits the desirable size
this world is changing you from the inside out bloodshot eyes cry
don't take this relationship personal I refuse to become the critic
tell me a secret let the disbelief scream from my tortured past
...
Fragile hands hold the key to my very existence
penetrating eyes crawl down your spine cold hugs left unnoticed
happiness becomes a ship left to sail on your horizon hate consumed
don't take this relationship for real I refuse to become a stereotype
lies a soft gray turn a disturbing black impossible aching
...
Shadows consume the light let it kill your hope of happiness
words have no meaning on this last night of pain
this fairytale has ended there is no rewind button wasting away
don't take this relationship seriously I refuse to become a game
when I walk away don't hesitate to reach for my hand it's the end
