I've come an end
I've reached my decision
I am made out of shapes
I am not an incision
You call this your own
I am built from treason
You've broke through the walls
And the children listen
All the ghosts in the hall,
I've cast them aside
From your blood to your bone
All the ships in the sea,
I've called in a storm
To drag you to me
Now it's time to admit
That the seasons are changing
And the reason is clear
This is a mess that we're making
Can't remember the last
Time I truly remembered
What it was that I had
Not engrained in forever

Silence slows the room
When no one speaks
Far far from the light
Emotions linger
Patiently
Upon the empty night
On a shore, on a whim
Grasping at the cold
Lying there, whispering
Words that fell unheard
Mouth moves, wandering
Like thoughts done up in red
Bows his head as stillness takes
All the words he left unsaid
Remnants of dreams scattered in the waves
On a tide that's only seen in greys
Reaching out, hopelessly, just to find a one
Coming short, aimlessly, falling from the sun
Am I the last alive? Am I the last alone?
Am I the first to die or the first to know?
Is this the distance I must go
To reach out and crease the fold?
All we are: the dust of stars
All we are: the dust of stars
Bone to bone
Days to weeks
La-la lovely sight
Elegance,
So naturally
Composed of green and whites
On the edge, in a dream
Breaking up the ice
Peering out, stitch the seam
While pulling to the right
Eyes swell, lovingly
As if there's been a change
On his knees, faithlessly
But nothing looks the same
All the pieces are torn, and set a blaze
Tints of blues are seen in the flames
Reaching out, hopelessly, just to find a one
Coming short, aimlessly, falling from the sun
Reaching out, hopelessly, just to find a one
Coming short, aimlessly, falling from the sun

I walk the ancient path
My compass points me home
The sun rises to the west
And the air grows cold
All the animals whisper
They whisper my name
All the trees sigh heavy
And dance in the rain
No I will not, I will not glance back
To see my prints vanish into the black
And my fear swells as my thoughts believe
What I first sought is now hunting me
No I will not, I will not give in
Become a regret, damned to the life that I live
And my heart pounds, steady as she goes
Daring and doubting as I dealt the last blows

And if I walked alone
Would you notice?
Would you be strong?
Could you be the deep blue sea
Brewing something?
And in the dead of night
My thoughts will wander
Fight or flight?
I am not what's inside
It was all set on fire
I get so lost when I descend
I get so lost without my friends
I get so lost, let's amend
I get so lost, they're all dead
And if I cease to be
Could you recall everything?
Can I be a memory hiding somewhere?
And at the right time,
Your mind will stray, rot, decay
But I'm right inside
Adding fuel to the fire

Ancient Icarus

Dark times, young blood awaits tonight
And if you're the last alive, would you please turn out the light?
All smiles, eager to come aboard
Hold tight, brace yourself for the fall
Wake up, we're here to settle the score
And if you've crossed the line then your back's against the wall
Slow down, this bird was meant to fly
No sound, we cut quick through the sky
Sometimes we need a little more from life
When straight lines are beginning to intertwine
Silent, we move across the brink
Violent, the children flail as we sink

All along the fields of fire
I watched you with a smile
You grinned, content
Laughing as I spat desire
And we sat through the stranded years
Motionless, meaningless
Repented thoughts caught in a sieve
These were days that you had lived
We fell from heights, from wings of wax
To land so hard to break out backs
And now that smile, it has no teeth
No matter, it feels good at least
I waved "hello" from a horse's back
On the mountain tops, your wings did flap
Your talons clenched as your fever writhed
And I never saw the monster inside
I never meant to clip those things
Stuff the mattress and mend the springs
They looked so pretty within your cage
But I got so scared when you escaped
Shut the door, look within
Your broken mouth, that wicked grin
I'll keep you safe 'til the day that we die
And I never saw the monster inside

Metronomes and bottle caps
Sort through a love that cannot last
World is open, space is vast
Sort through a love that cannot last
Peering through the window's glass
Sort through a love that cannot last
Colors melt as you move fast
Sort through a life that has no past
When you are not alone
The emptiness is just a ghost
Longing for a sacred home
When you are not alone
So this is what it's like with company
Hiding in the lines you've cut for me
Distant, bitter feelings from the past
Sort through a love that cannot last
So someday, maybe, take a chance on me

Nostalgia peeked around the bend and cut the throat of all it saw
Narrow passages complete the path we wandered from
Nostalgia peered around the bend and slit its wrists at what it saw
Narrow passages complete the path we started from
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie too much
Sometimes I lie
Sometimes I try too hard
My fiction comes full circle
Collusion and connection
Distant, bitter feelings for the past
Fondly remembered
Kindly dismembered
Try and make this illusion last

Cancel all your plans
Leave a note beside the phone
Disregard the flashing light
No one was ever home
You always know best
I don't have to think anymore
Better than all the rest
So what's the final score?
Subtle shifts of images permeate the waves
Never mind the photographs, this is your escape
Echoes of your footsteps linger down the hall
Omens turn to memories that you won't recall
Shadows of a different name
Haunt a space that remains
And though memories may change
I know we stayed the same
My regrets may turn to shame
I know my moment fades
