Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
Can you taste me?
I’ve lost myself
Somewhere inside you
And I don’t know where to go
Forget me
Forgive me
Or never let me know
I feel you
I can’t keep it together
Anymore
I shed no tears
It’s all inside
Building up
Until I choke
On the words I couldn’t say
I mean this when I say it
Please just stay away
It’s simple
And real
I can’t be touched
Nor can I feel
So do as I say
One day you will realize
It’s better off this way

embrace

Here I stand, disoriented
In all these unfamiliar places
Sick of people and their two faces
You will not find me here again
I'll disappear in time
Leave nothing but my words behind
Forgotten just as quickly as I had escaped
I always wanteed more than this world could give
Afraid not of dying, but to never have lived
I tried making the best of what I was able
Enjoying the times that were shaken and unstable
The ride is always better than the destination
So reached out in my salvation
My reflection a stranger
Myself unknown
I've felt whole and complete
I've felt alone
I've been real and I've been an illusion
I've felt welcome
I've been an intrusion
Life is often misunderstood
We always search desparately for an answer
Perhaps it doesn't exist
And in our constant questioning we've missed
All the things that might give us meaning
That are full of truth and comfort
I'm in no hurry to know
I'll take my time
As time lets me go
I will lead a life fulfilled
For I did not live in fear of the end
But learned to enjoy the thrill

breathe in, breathe out

i saw it all
it passed me by
i let it go
you asked me why
i never cared
i told you i
was never there
it's over now
dead and gone
time lingers on
kindred spirits
broken thoughts
empty souls
forget all those
forget me nots
i swear you were
a waking dream
drowning in
an endless stream
left behind
never mine
never yours
never ours
cross your heart
you told a lie
all was lost
broken and torn
helpless and forlorn
an untraceable cost
i do not feel
the day is quiet
the night yells
first in heaven
then to hell
now i cannot tell
sheer delight
beaten to despair
what is ugly
was once so fair
i cannot bare
my soul to share
another moment
with another
or to uncover
another mask
a simple movement
with an endless task
i choose to be
on my own
i choose to be
alone
