................
my heart was pounding like winter rain just one more to ease the pain one last time or i'll go insane if i can't escape then i'd rather pretend where's that angel heaven was supposed to send time heals everything or so i am told such bullshit but i guess i'm sold it doesn't make sense but it sounds alright let's make believe we're real tonight as all our thoughts vanish into thin air i'm all wrapped up but i feel so bare society never gave me time to prepare for all its silly irony and how nothing turns out the way it's meant to be that the earth spins in circles and that's how it will stay everything is the same every fucking day i want a one way ticket to constant change i never want to see the same familiar faces i want to be a new person in different places i don't want an identity anymore i just want something worth living for i can see the sun resting on the ocean's surface all this talk of fate it makes me nervous perhaps there's only one way out maybe if i stomp and scream and shout i can get what i want or what i need or perhaps if i beg and plead i can get some sort of answer just to see if this world has any kind of plans for me or if i'm just a waste of breath what is life but constant death give me some sort of meaning show me the things that i'm just not seeing i want it all and more just give me something to fight for

skyline
heaven collapsed as it hit solid ground
the sky caught on fire like the fourth of july
everything was moving but i couldn't hear a sound
it was like watching a highway from a window inside
all the miracles they just weren't enough
we had nothing to save us but the power of love
no more stars to wish on in the black abyss above
we started longing for the simple things
the weeping of a guitar string
the joy that summer love can bring
all the times that we would laugh and sing like we never had a care
in love and war all is never fair
i though i'd seen despair but it was nothing until this night
people giving up without a fight
if only we had tried to make things right
but we took every single breath for granted
mother nature laughed as if she'd planned it
i thought of all the dreams i'd never fulfill
the rivers stopped flowing and the ocean was calm
the wind kept blowing but the trees stood still
in tragedy lies some sort of beautiful sadness
you kept me alive in this world full of madness
and in the end we still wonder where it is that we went wrong
perhaps that was the problem all along

i open my eyes to the blinding morning light
and walk across the room to the mirror
i wipe away the dust and stare in awe
at a stranger that starts to appear
another day to waste because of a night that meant nothing
perhaps if i keep trying i'll start to feel something
but until then i won't even breathe
this misery i'm feeling well it's not even me
maybe it's something i'm just not seeing
something lost in the dark such an empty feeling

whirlwind

hold on tight darling we are going for a ride
with no means to return so recite all those tearful good byes
we're going to a place where earth and heaven collide
something you won't see with those pretty waking eyes
we can laugh at all those people who told us not to believe
we can escape this world obsessed with vanity and greed
to a place that holds more secrets then the deep blue sea
more promising then all the stories we would always read
you can't look back you must know the old world was full of lies
it was full of emptiness wrapped up in some beautiful but vague disguise
we're going to a place where we can simply be
we're going to a place where we we can finally be set free
