Vive L'amour

Come crashing down
The sound of your voice is in my head
No matter how I try
I can't stop this and I cry
the thoughts of you leave me awake
at night til dawn
And I'm left holding nothing but
a figment in my head
Left alone I pray for return
my heart still beats for you
and you alone it needs
Left alone I swear I'll wait
for your bright smile
and in the end I hope I can make it
worth your while
Oh I need
something more
my heart yearns for touch
the clock is ticking and you're still gone\
Hold me close, though your not the one
my heart yearns for
I can't wait any longer , my lover has forgotten me
Oh what regret I feel my heart is in half
The memory of you is hanging merely by a thread
She holds the scissors
I guide her hand
Is this suicide? or a murder scene?
If hope ever brought about a tangible reward,
Could the suffering we know all too well ever be enough to even out the score?
And even if we reach the shore, we aren’t prepared to fight the war that’s waiting for us,
Forcing us to push on, reminding us we’re never free from the remorse,
From the heartbreak, from the pain, that comes with love
But maybe someday we will be loved, perhaps someday we’ll see the sun,
One day we could win the war, one day we’d mean so much more,
If only what we had in store was truth then we could live! We could be free! We could be loved!
Vive l’amour!
I'm sorry for the thing I've done to you
the wounds I have opened
but suture I will
if all my life it takes, to stitch these wounds

Repeat; Regret

Just when you thought that the end was near
You hear the last thing you want to hear
A soft murmur, a voiceless tone
Reminding you that you’re far from home
Something strange in the way she walks,
You hear the words but you can’t talk.
The feeling grabs you and bites your guts
This is the part where the music cuts
I was the one who saw the whole thing
The bridge collapsed and started folding.
Everything fell into place, and then it fell apart.
When you’re running an endless race,
how do you tell the end from the start?
My patience is wearing thin.

Forget Me

We destroy the things we love
We think that we know what is best for us
How can we tell what's wrong or right
When our minds and our hearts only ever fight?
I can't handle the pressure of
Dependence on me to provide love
I never wanted things to end this way
But I can't stop my heart from going astray
I can tell that you're not impressed
By my constant need to change the subject
Back and forth with this war in my heart
I should have known this would all fall apart
Don't look to me for the answers
Complacency has lead to this disaster
No more can I hold this thing together
But I'm a coward so I'll blame weather
Just forget me.
I wish you could.
Just forget me.
I wish you would.

Empty Spaces

Breaking down these walls to find comfort in empty spaces
Riding trains just to see unfamiliar faces
Tell me where I lost it
Tell me where I go from here
Tell me everything I need to know
About this life I fear
Ever since I was a kid, I thought the world
Was wrapped around my finger
Ever since I had a broken heart, I’ve learned
That life keeps getting harder
Never tell me who I am
Never tell me what I can think
Never tell me I don’t care
I know I've made mistakes
(I'll just have to find my own way,
I'll just have to take my own blame)
I know I’ve made mistakes
I know, I know
But I never meant to let you go.

Ghosts

The lonesome have lost all they have
lets find some words to make us strong
We'll take these words to our grave
never letting them steer us wrong
I'll close my eyes tight
lucid thoughts run wild
breathing deeply in the night
while nothing seems real
I can't help but hold my head up
when rain is pouring down
I'll try to light this match
no matter how this deluge drowns
and then we'll repeat our mistakes
like a furious cancer
we'll take all you love
like a fire in the woods
we'll leave nothing left
like a man in the cold
just trying to find some warmth
He'll keep moving forward
no matter how he shakes
Harmonious we sing
how dissonant the notes we chose
the voices ring out
in a soft prelude
like lovers on their honeymoon
they keep getting louder
like a train off the tracks
it's destroying a path
(We're all just trying to find our way,
We all have ghosts and memories.)
