I watched the time tick by slow
As I remember my eyes in yours
But you still hold my strings so tightly
And I'll still pretend that I'm yours

I'll trace my footsteps back
To the place where we first met
And remind myself not to lose myself
Over and over again.

I can't remember anything without you
But all I wish is to be free of you

This love that I grew

In a forest of embers of a life I once knew

And as the angel said to astronaut:
'You've started falling back,
Falling back to me.
And I swear I felt this once,
So stop pretending this is love'
And white lines dot the sky,
As comet tails come to an end
And amongst all of this confusion
Find a place to rest our heads

... and words fell loosely from your sinking lips

I found a heaven in your barreled eyes

A glimpse of a love that I'd never seen

But while you fed me heaven, I gave you hell

And now hell has found a home inside of me

This time the thread frayed

And I don't have it in me to tie it again

I left my bones in the bed of the ocean

To rest my head on a sea of stars

It took so long to finally find myself

When all along I was inside of me

You write a million words each time

But my scribbled lines grasp ( Read more... )

Sometimes I'm invisible

Sometimes I'm erased

Sometimes I'll watch your hands shiver and change

You take that picture well, and I can tell that

You know that I know that you know

And you expect my mind to follow

Just like my body broke

And you want my heart to swallow

Every single frame of you whole

You're the queen in your house of screens,

Pictures facing pictures in a room full of mirrors

I wonder if you'll ever know,

How far you fell for ( Read more... )

And just like that the powder fades

Seamless colour, blurring the lines away

And at times I knew this would come

And at times, I ignored my own advice

I'm done with the glances

I'm done with the lies

Never again will you find my eyes

Such a distraction for an impossible attraction

I knew all along what it would bring me to

I've walked through ( Read more... )
