Grounded Forever

I know there is no way to change the way you see me
incomplete in a life that is slowly losing control
title me and strip away my freedom my wings have been taken
listen to the ocean play its melancholy song your eyes so deep
I see you next to me holding so tightly onto my hand
the need to fly is pushing me towards the edge of the night
but your hand refuses to let me go keeping me grounded
/\/\/\
Words pour out of your soft lips expressing a future for us
you wrap your arms around me believing I am completely yours
but love, my blue eyes are focused elsewhere on this perfect night
my heart beats for a life never held down by words or memories
wish on a number see a shooting star but see they never come true
my stomach twists and tightens as you ask for me just to be yours
but all my ears hear is my freedom taking flight without me
/\/\/\
Take my hand with a smile that lights up the blackest night sky
never will you know my truest feelings I would rather tell a lie
for destroying the look in those blue eyes would be the death of me
as the waves crash I promise just for tonight I'll be all yours 
waking up next to your body sends a bittersweet joy through my soul
but love, my heart is torn between you and the open sky
tears pour down my face as I burn my wings for no one but you

Broken Shards

Press the broken shards of my love to your lips
this frightening moment wraps around your pitiful existence
my soul was banished so long ago in vain you try to find it
bury every thought that burned a hole in my heart
my fingers slip through yours in one last attempt to save
I cannot push myself any farther this is the last goodbye
***
Let the emotion bleed scarlet from your parted lips
 spit your love in my face doubts and regret never ending
my wings were broken long ago in vain you try to touch the stars
angels continue to weep as your secrets continue to crawl forth 
your emotion suffocates my very breath rip apart my night
send your letter of despair across the sea and watch it drown
***
Your blue eyes hold the ocean as the pain mixes with the qualm
begin to break your sentiment against my untold mysteries
my love has been dormant so long never will it change
save your breath over this heartbreak it was meant to be
my smile slips from my face your last attempt meaning nothing
I cannot lie any longer this is the last goodbye
 

She Left

pulsing scarlet shimmers pouring from your lips
smoky black lies shadow the cold blue of your eyes
burnt out smiles so long forsaken rarely remembered
memories fade away your mind no longer holds onto the faith
scream at the top of your lungs as the small children hide

}{
let the back door slam behind you the rain now never ceases
uncontrollable fears become a wall that separates you and me
rip out the love even the angels will feel forsaken tonight
life slowly fades away at the edges this has become the last dance
my heroine has turned away from my side the wind howls emptiness

}{
pollute the sacredness you've trampled on this vow walk in shame
spinning confusion hits the pavement rip out the pages of my story
careless words spew from your lips begin to destroy hopes
walk away from everything you've known desecrate the meaning
your ghost continues to haunt even after your memory has faded

Can't Make You Go

I can make you go but I can't make you stay
burn the witches to the ground this is a delicate beginning
be my flesh and bones go ahead and turn my day numb
before the lights come on whisper if this is what it was meant to be
the eyes lie but the crime and the penalty are the same 
fading colors that streak across my skin fairy tales exist but not here
~~~~~
once in a lifetime your story begins and your story ends
precious moments struggle to find a way out pray for your sins
the sky might fall run from this by my side without regret
drunk with air smoke like milk begin to live this chapter unseen
dream lover of the alien in the city you promised me to be here
beware of the secret stare nothing is as it seems to be
~~~~~
sing me a ballad as I'm slowly dying small effort little hope
it was nice to meet you on the edge of this unfamiliar world
words fell out through my lips naked in your mind thrown to the wind
thoughts never wrong become secrets always hidden new age begins 
tell me a secret to break my addiction at the time you were innocent
when the voices tell you to go let the memories make your choice
