Antisocial

I don't have your skin of lies
The protective sheen of a fake smile
The clothing made of clichés
That you would never dare to mean

I'm an open wound
Ugly and real
I'll bleed for you, but I'm not smart enough
To be able to tell if you're worth it

I keep getting prodded
Scratched at and spit on
So I like to stay at home alone
Under the band-aid you call "antisocial"

If You Were

If you were a book
I'd read myself to sleep every night
The first few lines
Would be your eyes
And I'd quote them to everyone I know

If you were a place
I would get lost in you every day
My favourite roads
Would be your scars
Every evening I'd walk that way

If you were a song
I'd hum you when I'm alone
The bridge and chorus
Would be your name
I'd doodle it on everything I own

If you were mine
I'd cherish you like you weren't
My every word
Would be a proposal
I'd fight, and win you every day

Wait (Vol. 1)

A kiss is not enough
Align the stars in velvet sky
And make the wind sing
Just for you and me

Embrace is an underword
Engulf me in your scent
So the world ceases to exist
Beyond your skin

The more I wait
The more I want
To say to you
Do not just kiss me...
Consume me
Leave me broken
Never to be mended

Things That Are

You are the things that are
Whether you want to or not
I am the things that were
Brittle and broken apart

You are the story evergreen
I am the ink we spent
You are the beautiful melody
I am the words unsaid

You are the burning star
I am the dust around you
I will be watching from afar
As your wishes find you

My Song

I was just skipping along

Mostly happy

I tripped a lot

I thought that's what life is

I was humming this song

That I'd picked up somewhere

You came along

And gave me the words

We skipped along

Mostly happy

Then you went away

And I kept falling

Is this what life is?

I ask the stars and the moon

I've forgotten all the words

I remember the tune

More Than Me

Does the proud mountain wish

That there was someone taller he could look up to?

Does mother earth yearn

For someone to sing her a lullaby?

Does the bright blue sky feel

Someone would hold him when darkness falls?

Does the lonely wind dream

About someone fast enough to chase her?

I have pictured you, strong

Enough to mother me

I have pictured you, wise

Enough to follow me

I have pictured you, kind

Enough to make me glow

I could look after you

And you know, I would

But sometimes I shouldn't need to

I'm tired...

Are you out there?

For Now

Just bathing in the sunset

Just waiting for the sunrise

Wearing a grey dawn

Before the light wakes in your eyes

Just fishing in my pockets

Just watching the birds fly

There are keys I lost

To love I stole on the sly

Just throwing my longings

Into the blue ocean

With all my belongings

Light, I'll join you...

In the sun
