The Garden of Roses
07:15

Pull me under these wounds.
I'm frightened for my life.
Give me another one
So I can actually feel
Your sweat from fingertips
That will never lose grip.
Honey, I see God.
He's reaching out His hand.
My friends are laughing at me.
They're shaking their heads.
I'm nervous.
I'm shaken up.
I'm useless.
"Stop acting so worthless."
I see everyone dying.
It's not just me or you.
It's the symmetry
That's absolutely killing me.
The more you suffer,
The more I see darkness.
Just put me out of my misery.
Just walk this garden of our roses with me.

Another Autumn Lost
04:45
|
|
||
Waiting here, behind closed doors;
Pressing feet onto the floor,
Reprimanding, hopelessly,
All the faith that I possess.
Put you on a pedestal,
To satisfy my weary mind.
A lust for ardent fellowship
To pour out all this spiteful blood.
Another autumn lost
To torture and remorse.
A branch of burgundy
And a hair I once have felt.
Another hope I’ve lost
To distance and lament
But all I really did
Was try to understand you.
Now it’s cold and now it’s dark;
Lonely and dejected,
I gaze out toward the trees
And wonder when all these colors vanished
In my life.

Slept
05:51
|
|
||
I lie here and hope for you
To capture love and innocence.
I hide my pain, but show it too.
Love, I care for you,
But you don't make sense anymore.
No more, no longer.
So I sleep. I sleep to dream,
About a life we'd share as one.
And in this bed, I will love you,
And hold you close as you and I
Become one.
Bodies separate.
Minds unclear.
Heartbeat aching.
Vanished, my dear.
(I awaken.
I'm afraid.
I'm so cold.
I'm alone.)

In April
05:47
|
|
||
Waiting for you to come,
And dismantle my solitude.
Please, welcome me with open arms;
Your bright, soft lips should fix my attitude.
But still, I’m trapped in April snow.
Supine and clear, it never leaves.
And all my thoughts of you lie here, too.
They’re nestled, stagnant, and anchored down with grief.
Spring is still beyond my reach,
Blooming south and spreading freely.
I’m longing for the warmth of sunshine
And equal radiance from blue and burgundy.
But I cannot see clearly now.
This picture-perfect world that’s so ideal
Is not quite what it seems
When you’re there, up on the hillside
And I’m still here,
Lost and spacing out.
This vast and unholy distance is far too real
To help us fortify
A shelter from the snowstorm
That’s headed my way.

Every Heart Is a Hole

Separated by fifteen miles,
And stitched together through one shared heart.
But we were searching for different answers;
The growing confusion that tore us apart.
And now, all we have left is the memory of our former selves.
Losing grip on what's important,
I drink away the remaining sorrow.
Yet your lush fingers curled 'round me last morning.
I'm hoping that I'll be alright by tomorrow.
But now, all we have left is the memory of our former selves.
Never wanting to kill these feelings,
I'll hide forever to shadow fears.
But always wanting to feel this body,
I'm better off just wasting tears.
And now, all we have left is the memory of our former selves.
Burying my last sane moment,
I'm starting to regret my dishonest escape.
Doubting the seconds as eyes start to open,
And brighter hours wouldn't remain.
And now, all we have left is the memory of our former selves.

Forever Burnt

Spoken Word:
"...The overthinking; I feel the sadness crawling throughout my skin, sucking out the very happiness I had, the happiness you created. I remember the days where the sun would shine upon my face, but I was oblivious to its everlasting burn, where orange turned to red, and white turned to black. I thought that you would be a light for me; a guide that would lead to peace and joy, and unbelievable ecstasy. But surely, these emotions will never be reflected towards me. I will never feel the warmth from your touch. I will only feel the cold you possess; frozen, like I'm swimming in a river from point A to point B to point C to point you, a destination that is impossible to travel to. And as I stare at your irises, I see nothing but darkness, like midnight; a horizon devoid of stars - no glistening, no twinkle in your eye - there's no spark, and if it's present, it's most likely light years away, and probably already gone. And in this room, I must not go by a name. I am just another passerby that has nothing more than false hopes. And whilst we dance the dance, I realize that it is nothing more than a celebration of my insignificance to your life. You see, we built this bridge, and I thought that it'd be one where we would both walk across, but it looks like it's beginning to collapse right at the seams. And the fact of the matter is, I, out of the seven billion cells on this orbiting sphere, am truly the unluckiest man in the world. And that's why you need to be forever burnt."
Back when we were young and careless,
Without much reason or intellect,
I grabbed hold of your perfect mind,
And through inexperience, tried to connect
With you, and express my honest, deepest sentiments,
Avoiding every resentment.
But I over-analyzed, and fantasized
A wondrous story, seen through both of our eyes...
That's why you're forever burnt.
And through this forest of ripened green,
These leaves, they flowed with your elegant shape.
And I kissed your sweet hands, your shining skin.
But that's all inside me; a futile escape
For my weakened soul; a shell, now, of what it used to be,
Stuck in agony, impotent, and drowned in misery
I never wanted my young life to go down this path,
But these misfortunes, they point towards an awful aftermath.
That’s why you’re forever burnt.
And all the musings that live inside my brain;
They are the catalysts for all of my pain.
And every argument that's ever emerged;
They bloomed from terror, with my aplomb submerged.
Yet I still hold on to toxic memories,
And I still see you, with utmost clarity.
I talk to you, I look at you, and I still care for you.
But I know, somewhere deep down, I should just let go of you.
So, please, be forever...

Untrue
04:34
|
|

Here I am, still searching
For a soul to cross my way.
But every now and then, I pick up all the puzzle pieces.
I examine them closely, and I try to make them fit.
But when I do, it leads me down an untrue path,
And I wonder why I cared at all.
So I'm left with nothing,
Or no one to love or die for.
But this is what I get for ruining a perfect mind.
I deserve to be unseen and I deserve to be untouched.
But while I count up all my regrets, it is you that I cannot forget.
I just wanna be yours.
And this is what transpires when I panic and I say too much.
I lay here on this lonely tile as my reverie disintegrates.
But while I count up all my regrets, it is you that I cannot forget.
I just wanna be yours.
God, I just wanna be yours.
I just wanna be yours.
