I see you show up with the time to spare. I hope to see you walk up just to talk to me. It never happens, you see. Give it up to the boy of wonder, who can tie you up with ribbons of awkward words and phrases to make it all feel so much worse! I see you at the top of the endless stairs. You are the only thing that's shining brighter than the moon in the air. I'll try my hardest not to stare. Give it up for the boy of despair! He'll try to cover up all the sadness with the smile he wears! It's not his fault he's there.

Darling tell me what would you do if I said out loud that I love you? Would you say it back or do a vanishing act would you run straight for the door? I couldn't blame you if you chose to leave but I sure do like when you're close to me. My heart's heavy, my knees are weak, I just can't take anymore. I've found it a nightmare to walk alone when the winding paths are all laced with bones. Oh please, stay with me. Babydoll look into my eyes and know that I don't ever wanna tell you lies, so When you ask me how I feel about you I won't hold back, because I got too much love to give, and to hide the truth's no way to live, and If I even tried to hold this in I might die of a heart attack. I've found it a burden to carry on when I'm wounded in the forest with no glimpse of dawn So please, stay with me. I've found it a nightmare to walk alone when the winding paths are all laced with bones. Oh please, stay with me. I've found it a nightmare to walk alone when the winding paths are all laced with bones. Oh please, stay with me. Darling tell me what would you do if I said out loud that I love you? Would you say it back or do a vanishing act would you run straight for the door?

Oh, shut your eyes. I can't let it end like this. Five years now underground, covered, buried. Let the sun see what damage I've done. Let him learn what a man is capable of. Let him taste my pride, because I have not forgotten. It was her ghost I feared, what it might do. I buried it months ago; I was alone as I'd ever be. The night crept in; the flames went out. I could have touched your fears. The soil rose up from beneath the grass and spoke, Son, I made you what you are today. Your bones were fashioned from my form, and to me they will return. I gave you that pride. It was my hand guiding your tongue when it formed every word.

Well look at my hands they're so tired and lazy One look at my face, and you might think I'm crazy! The sun didn't shine, cause I was working inside Of this factory square, I swear, I'd never lie I'm a machine Working around these old cinnamon grounds I'm wired and tired but I've got nothin' to say Finally someone will see me inside And help me to get high, high, high I'm a machine

Some spirits may appear in order to move The other way of war. But I am sunlight and devestation of success. Very far away footsteps calling their names to change. If the next day won't come, my heart will replace it With an image of past filled, distorted mirror. It may not excuse the failure of being abandoned, after looping into the ever churning misery. Caused by blindness, caused by hopelessly loving And the origin of bursting out the tragedy day after day. So easier to get the stone from the infinite cave of moral day after day.

I couldn't hear everything you said. But you had a way of getting in my head. I didn't think that you would leave him but I hoped you'd come with me. Drop everything, pack your bags, and leave with me. But you knew you were in love when you met me. Yeah, you know you wouldn't leave him from the start. But you thought that maybe I would forget you. Yeah, you thought that I'd forget but you were wrong. I still remember every word you said about the stars and how they're too far away. Well it was like you spoke in tongues you had the holiest of lungs. And when we talked, there was no doubt, we were in love. But I knew you were in love when I met you. Yeah, I knew you wouldn't leave him from the start. But I thought that maybe I would forget you. Yeah, I thought that I'd move on but I was wrong. And now you're breaking my heart and you're shaking my bones. Living so far, I was out here alone. Looking at me when you're thinking 'bout him. Looking so mean when you're out there with him. But you knew you wouldn't come with me 'cause you said you're only seventeen. But you lit me up so I could see how you doused it up in kerosene.

fuck this place and the way it’s been since i came around. fuck the way i used to think of it back when i thought i was far away. i don’t know me. fuck my tendency to keep things inside and let them out at just the wrong time. fuck pretending i hate everyone, till i’m afraid that they won’t stay. it’s hard for me to say what i mean, when my voice is tied to a tree in the woods, i’m spinning and i can’t see anything, and i just want you to call me. i don’t want to be a tiny poem that gives you self confidence. i don’t want to be opened and closed then stored away until you’re hurt more.

Put my head against my hands and hope nobody sees. Gotta get away. Disappear into those around me. Feel free to take my focus and my energy. Blend in with my surroundings. I tend to prefer life in a mob. I know I'm no good at this. I've tried my whole life but never won. I know I'm no good at this. I cried at the time I was surprised it was just for fun. I'm jumping from these rooftops, praying something catches me. I'm jumping from these rooftops and I doubt that help'll be there for me. Put my head against my hands and hope nobody sees. Gotta get away. Disappear into those around me. Feel free to take my focus and energy.
