This is my way of convincing myself I'm right.

Untitled #1

I'll wait here everyday, where you are always invited
Seeing the past through your eyes never felt so horrible
Dropping hearts, saving grace, there's no turning away
Just watching the clock ticking your name over and over again

I'll never see the stars that glisten in your eyes
We'll never see the streetlights at midnight
I'll never be the same as you were in my life
I'd rather just go blind then see you two together

This makes me feel like the life I had was all just to waste
But deep down in my soul, I know, I know
I know you would never throw it away,
Not for him, not for what you think you have

Through the Clouds

We are the skydiver without hope
Falling through the sky felt like so long ago
Holding so dearly his beloved Polaroids
With her in mind, begs for more
Notes, memories, entries flood his mind
Hoping the sky can reconcile
Never giving up, he reaches for the clouds
"Give it your heart," he thought
Waving to the ground coming for his life
Beginning to see the light
Hearing the angel scream brings terror to mind
It will all end once he finds his way to the ground

The piano strings ring on in his head
As plane flies away he waits for the end
The piano strings ring on in his head
As plane flies away he waits for the end
Thinking for his last words, "I'll never let go."
"No matter what I say I'll always be in debt to you,
No matter what I say I'll always owe my life to you..."

Sleeping Pills

I have a sleeping pill that I take every night,
So I can see you, because the only place that I can see you is in my dreams.
But now that I think I've found you, I can throw those pills away.
Because I don't need them as bad as I need you.

Maybe I'm the one you'll like,
Maybe I'm the one that needs you in his worst times
Baby, I'm the one you're like,
Baby, I'm the one who'll catch you when you fall down

What am I waiting for? I'm waiting for you to notice me.
Is it that you see right through me? That can't be.
I can't control my breathing when you look at me so discretely.
Everywhere I go, there's a crossroad that takes me right back to you.

I've done this over and over-repeating what I'd say to you to the mirror.
Because I'm ripping myself apart trying to find the right words to say.
Hopefully, this letter's not too late.

Maybe I'm the one you'll like,
Maybe I'm the one that needs you in his worst times
Baby, I'm the one you're like,
Baby, I'm the one who'll catch you when you fall down
I've spent all this time looking for you,
And now that I've found you, I finally have a clue.
This time we'll make it through,
And this time, I can finally say that...

Oh, the Size of the World

They say , "Give it up, baby"
But do you see what I see when I look into your eyes?
Do you know how it feels to have the world give up on you,
And you can't stop to think what to do?

Oh, the size of the world I'd give to you...
Oh, the size of the world I'd give to you...
Oh, the size.

This is the last time I'll ever follow through.
This is the last time I'll ever think of you.

Sleep me off, gorgeous.
Don't look at me that way,
I'll hold on to these memories.
I'll wait until the day I die to know I'll end up with you,
But the world says it's not worth the pain I'll go through.
They're all wrong.

This is the last time I'll ever follow through.
This is the last time I'll ever think of you.
If this is the last time I ever follow through, I'll make sure to give it my all.
If this is the last time I ever think of you, then I guess I lied.
I guess I lied...

This is the last time I'll ever follow through.
This is the last time I'll ever think of you.
If this is the last time I ever follow through, I'll make sure to give it my all.
If this is the last time I ever think of you, then I guess I lied.

Do you see what I see when I look into your eyes?

Front Row of Every Show

You have the world's attention, I have no one to listen
At the drop of a hat you think you can handle that, but we all know you can't
I'll sit here and count my blessings, you'll watch me and keep on guessing
You feel like a king and with every sting I'll keep on fighting

You will never stop what I'm fighting for
I'm not who you thought I was before

Your downfall is made with the eyes of a heretic
I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back tonight...
Christ might have forgiven Judas, but I'm not forgiving you this time, not for this crime.

From rags to riches you stand, sit on top of the world and demand
The respect and admiration you don't deserve
I still loathe you for what you took from me
You feel like a king and with every sting I'll keep on fighting

You feel like a king and with every sting I'll keep on fighting
I started thinking last night, you know you're right? I'm so pathetic like you said.
I'm not coming back, I'm not coming back tonight...
Make a bet that I'm lying to you, make a bet that I won't kill you.
This is the last time you'll ever do this to me.
Christ might have forgiven Judas, but I'm not forgiving you this time, not for this crime.

Idle Hands Are the Devil's Tools

When you can't take it anymore
When your stomach begins to collapse
When you can't feel your limbs
When your heart drops a foot
When your mind falls to the ground
When your head hangs low
When your footsteps become the beat of your heart
When you think there's no one else who can feel with you
I'll be there.

But when you have to be happy for them,
Yet you can't, because their happiness doesn't lie with you
I'll be with you.

Think Before You Act, Feel Before You Think

Are these feelings mutual?
I drown in my own tainted thoughts
But my life vest is with somebody else
Just tell myself, "I know you don't mean it, I know you don't mean it."
With these thoughts, let me drown
This reoccurring nightmare
Alone in this revolving door
Hallucinating in my thoughts
Still feeling I need more
With these thoughts, let me drown
Show me how to be happy again
Don't let this tear me apart anymore
Help me up and help me let go
My only problem is I don't want to
With these thoughts, let me drown

Sharp Daggers and Prom Dresses

I hope for your sake you are prepared for what's next
My hand was her deterioration and resurrection
By the way you say my name, thinking by actions and acting by wishes,
Just forget the past, forget everything I said
Remind myself to take time to breathe because this is the last breath I'll take without you
Oh Romeo, where are you? Ruin my night and carve out my spine
Jest at the scar that never felt a wound and live to see me one more time
This prick of mine and this gash of yours compensates for all these lies
For everything I'm worth and everything you're not
Dig your own grave and stab me in the back
The vibrations of the piano tell me what your thinking
Just let me know, is that all she wrote?

What we are.

We are the skydiver that free falls with hope.
We are the pilot that splits the clouds.
We are the romance that looks into the eyes of God.
We are the balloon that still hasn't come back.
We are the stars too far to reach.
We are the planets that cannot reach.
And me? I'm the rain on the parade.
