Fresh from the ashes we hide our eyes
Suspicious hearts begat suspicious minds
We run in circles
We speak their names
We answer to no one
We play the game
Its so complex yet so simple
Just let go and be still

Sweet nothings sway my mind
I fell for this before
Promises you can't keep
You've always wanted more
Entangled by your smile
Distracted by your charms
Deciding what to say
I can't see past the shame
What chances have you left
He'll still wear your last name

I walk these streets of withered leaves and imperfect sidewalks
It seems to me how i could be so young
I left behind and in my mind
Its always my fault (never my fault)
This used to be my home
So let the leaves of autumn pull me down
Regret my friends, my love, my life, my town
I wish the years that passed could see me now
A glimpse of me when you're not around
A void appears this time of year since last December
That's when I felt so young
Believe that time could make it fine
It happened to me
I did it to you too

Pale Blue Eyes

With heavy heart and steady hands
I talk this walk before our friends
Sit down, the front row
Kneel down, head bowed low
Think back to better times
Keep closed pale blue eyes
A beautiful daughter cared for her father
Destiny gave her a child of her own
The death of her mother
and news of another
left her no choice
than being alone
I still need you...
One thing before I go outside
into the cold December night
Give me one more smile
Make it last a while
Think back to better times
Keep closed pale blue eyes
A fox and hound dog
A beast in a castle
A big purple dragon
A sword and a stone
With flowers to gather
Lately I'd rather be underwater than be alone

Thank You

Don't hesitate
Be here now
Remember to breathe
I'm the one in the way
I've often heard you say
Thank you
Selfishly I've held on to my own truth
I've learned to lie convincingly
But you saw right through me

Tonight

|

|
Wasting my time on you
Come to your senses and let me through
But your words cut so deep
Do they make it easier for you to keep lying to me
Endlessly
You're hiding in the shadows of the truth
You hang onto pride
Your eyes can't hide what you feel inside
You say you want change someday
But that's just what you say

Faith has faded over years and separated me from peers
Miracles can happen everyday just like they say they do
If that was true then I'd believe that every word was true
Walk with me
Talk with me
Leave with me
Do anything just don't pray for me
Let my body be submerged without a sound
While one hand holds the cross the other holds me down.
If that day will come where I am proven wrong, I know the spirit was inside me all along
They say it's easy to let go
I think it's wiser not to know
If this is it then I admit
I never had a clue
I stood in line
I spoke my lines
That's all I had to prove

If this is how you want it
Then I won't waste your time
Pretending to be fine
Why do you walk away
This wasn't love this was a masquerade
You were the better piece of me
If you could just listen this time
I promise you'll be fine
Let go of everything I know
Is this what you're telling me
Love isn't everything or so they say
It takes a fool to play this game

What's done is done
What's said is said
Swallowing this bitter pill
Time is on our side
It can wait another day
Twice denied
Denied once more
Somehow I'd hoped for more
The sun shines in my eyes
I hear my own breath
I reach for you
Time marches onward
Time stands still
In this house
Farewell innocence
Accept the consequence
Accept the risk

When I'm with you
You don't know the heartache I feel inside
Being this close I can't tell what's real
And it kills me every time
This is madness
This is crazy
What I put myself through over you
I've waited so long for something so wrong
I should just let this go
But every time I see you I lose myself again
Putting on this show
I've held on this desperation for too long

Chances slim to none
We can't outrun this
But we can run
Drink my poison
Enough to forget
Enough to bury my secret
Restless
Toss and turn
I'll wake tomorrow
My bridges burned
Moving forward
Leave nothing behing
Disappearing into the night
I'm staring at the sea
Forgetting about you
Forgetting me
I'll hold this love inside
And swallow my pride
