hey sweetie

hey sweetie, why can't you see
that i'm the only loser you'll ever need
i'll spit out blood and break my back
be the one to fill the things you lack
hold you up when the tide comes in
be your sunshine when the day begins
listen close to your endless rambling
i'll be the songs you love to sing
if you trip you can fall into me
i am the only loser you'll ever need
you break my heart a thousand times
but i come crawling back a thousand more
i am the star watching you at night
while you sleep tight
because you'll never know
never ever know
never ever ever
you will never
ever ever know

weathering the storm

for the times i am all alone

oh lonely sun, how do you cope

with the fear of dying all alone

oh lovely sun, where is your hope

for the miles i have yet to walk

oh restless clouds, where is your home

so many words but i hate to talk

oh righteous clouds, i know why you roam

for the memories that cease to fade

sweetheart, what do you dream at night

the foundation was made but the price we paid

sweetheart! i'm glad your soul is bright

for the endless sky that engulfs my eyes

i pray to god you'll never change

i will fight and cry and live and die

just promise me you'll never change

kevin the warrior

oh, to have eyes as true

as the stars in the sky

i would fight for a million years

dying to try and keep it alive

i would build bridges sturdy and tall

cross storms with my eyes shut tight

if i climb, let it be only for the light

to illuminate my eyes and keep them bright

and by chance should that bridge crumble

give in to all the weight i chose to carry

the stars will come down and carry me away

without all the guilt i chose to carry

feed me dreams that bring relief in the morning

all my demons would drop dead at my feet

i am but a weak warrior full of character and hope

putting my faith in all the stars i will meet

senseless patterns

curious soul, is that you?

i've been sowing all the seeds

to try and get to you

picking apart the abnormalities

of what's already come undone

the sky is grey and i want to stay

within earshot of every moment

that tends to my deepest desires

and if by chance all this is true

i hope to never fall asleep

allow my senses to lose control

breathe in senseless patterns

and hope it leads to you

get this

you and i are fields of flowers

you and i make the perfect path

you and i are peaceful nights

you and i are passing clouds

you and i calm the violent storms

you and i are taller than mountains

you and i make the earth shake

you and i are moments of serenity

you and i are two wolves at night

you and i are matching stars

you and i make everything great

but you and i are left to rot

left to wait

change in the morning

left to rain

left to succumb

left to crumble

left to fall apart

left to wander away

left to starve

left to stray

left to leave it alone

and what a waste

what a waste

what a waste

what a waste

what a waste

what a waste

what a waste

what a waste

what a waste

what a waste

don't let it go to waste

balance

for this balance i am elated
into old paintings i have faded
simple hints of reaction
lulled into beautiful attraction
curious of this winding road
for this reason i am sold
if i lay down to sleep
or dig a hole too deep
i can never grow
like i was long ago
our minds wander with curiosity
pulling at things so the eyes can see
i want to feel everything
to know what time will bring
my heart races so fast
wishing for this to last
i am a mighty tree
confident in all that i'll be
i make the sky shake
and i know that i am awake
the world is so dense and full
i wish to fall into it
and as i watch the surface fade
i know i will be swayed
by my unmistakable happiness
because i have come to learn
when life picks you up to let you fall
you must get up and continue on
when the sky grows heavy and falls
you must keep your composure
these things are simple
these things are deep
all things set to motion
because that is how it should be
what an amazing feeling
to be in love
what a comforting realization
to have eyes so bright
what a curious life
i have become lost in

you

you are the steadying
of my ever shaking composure
and every single word you speak
crawls down my throat
and settles inside of me
how wonderful are you
and the things that you do
that never seizes to
leave me grasping for more
you are the nights
when i lay in bed alone
dreaming my day away
you are a sentiment
of positive emotion
sweeping me off my feet
and every single time you speak
i am listening
with all that i have

save our souls

save our souls
it's death outside
where spirits die
if they aren't careful..
walk! towards the light
if you want to be clean
for the kind of dreams
that settle your bones
tremble clean
with all you have
for when night comes
there go your plans
save our souls
there is no misery
just no recollection
of the scary things
if all your friends
can count the hours
and if you alone
can retrace the steps
find a way
to make it all better
draw up a reason
for it all to begin
over and over
the record repeats
all of the steps
careful synchronization
i stared beyond
what i could control
and there it was
i knew what it was
climb the fence
to the other side
where spirits go off
to dance through the night
if i was there
i'd be dancing too
because when the night
is over far too soon
into the walls
where i cannot go
save our souls
it's death outside
so into your arms
i will climb
save our souls
make it worthwhile
let there be no reason
for this to end

sorry about the ghosts

you found me sitting here
waiting for your light
patiently and graciously slow
i will never know

when the time is right
penetrate my wonder
illuminate everything
turn my eyes into dust

sorry about the ghosts
who escaped through my mouth
now my soul is empty
the walls are so cold

oh, but how you found me
full of eager hope
all my silent secrets
printed on empty reels

makes me a nervous artist
standing all alone
with everything on the wall
framed so nice and neat

i bit off my tongue
watched it crawl away
so now i sit and wait
desperate to sing again

weathering the storm
this is terrible weather
anything but this weather
please not this weather

i will dig my way down
till comfort hurts no more
stop and cross my heart
so i can hope to die

my heart is my treasure
touched by something pure
honest through and through
you're a beautiful being

sunday evening in your street

i like the thoughts that invade my brain
and the way i go and perceive them
when the world spins a little too fast
i just wait for it to pass

i like the things that circle my life
and the way i stitch them to my heart
when the world decides to fuck with me
i just wait and see

if i could go off and disappear
let my skin breathe new air
if i knew of a place better than here
lay my fears open and bare

i like the things that make up my life
and the way i go about it
when the world becomes clear in my view
i hope i am who i wanted to be

a cure for my spirit

this night is calm, this night is pure
a sure disposition with the greatest allure
and tonight i have never been more sure
i am desparate and eager to find a cure
breathe slowly, never waver your spirit
although it may hurt a little bit
you are so beautiful through and through
something i realized as we slowly grew
all the places i now call my own
every doubt that is now well known
meaningful words carefully constructed
from our lips straight to our hearts
over our heads are never ending skies
captured with our curious eyes
and when night comes, i am glad it is pure
something this sure has the greatest allure

hi, we're whisper

i whisper because i am never certain
eyes drifting to the skies
if i wanted to kiss you
you'd never see it in my eyes

i whisper because no one can hear
eyes that long to sleep
if i leaned in to hold you
would you help me fall asleep?

why i feel weird

all the little things that set you apart
honest feelings i took to heart
a lack of balance that played its part
as everything came apart

there is doubt in planting the seeds
because nothing is guaranteed
honestly, what is it that we need
to be happy and free

i know that we rise to fall
hurts that nothing was ever my call
you make the world seem so small
and i see nothing at all

all that you'll be

carefully dissect your deepest desires
how the world should spin
beauties that set your heart on fire
distant places you've never been
are you out or are you in
so many things i admire
not a sound but still inspires
so breathe carefully
tread without worry
make yourself free
your happiness is key
and soon you will see
all that you'll be
