I want to, I want to
Leave this place while still breathing
I got a taste of life, we laid
Out in the sands of endless summer
Oh me, blue and green
So young and naive
And the world it wants to watch me bleed
Abandonment will I break or bend
Will I get the chance
Day to day I dance
A fine line in between living and dying
Oh darling, it's too early
My life was never mine to lead
Write me everyday so I don't fade away
Thinking of life with you could get me through
If our luck runs out and we draw our last breath
Our souls untethered we could go together, together

Shadow or a Silhouette

I reckon that I'm seldom looking back
Thought that I could extract a time or mood
What my empty hand once held had gone through
My knowledge and my skills are spread so thin
21st century kid lacking subtlety
Cause his overloaded sensory
I slow down, I'm thinking do I live my life
Like a shadow or a silhouette
I walk like, I talk like, I do everything that you like
If I could I would be you
Sit on my hands and count to ten
Stuck inside some kind of dead end
Can't get out of bed, I'll just consult the web
I'd rather lay in cold embrace of facts
Anything too abstract I can't contain
Fire on my heart and on my brain
Winds of change I long for your caress
I'm feeling so...compress me wave to line
So meekly go, so weakly flow through time
I'm slowing down, I'm thinking do I live my life
Like a shadow or a silhouette
I walk like, I talk like, I do everything that you like
If I could I would be you...
Now I feel like a shadow of someone I never knew
Think on the life I want to live
Just a glimpse then through a sieve
Doing what I'm told
I've turned so cold

Easy Come Easy Go

The sky is like a bruise
The trees my bleeding veins
Where we were in spring
Girl it ain't the same at all, at all
Cursing the green wood
Cause it never burns
She said it with her eyes
It takes time to learn
It's easy come, easy go
Like everything
It's easy come, easy go
Like everything
Easy come
Tell me does it hurt
Oh is it the worst
Follows you like death
Oh but it's your birth
It's easy come, easy go
Like everything
It's easy come, easy go
Like everyone
It's easy come, watch her go
Like every girl
You long, you long for her

Sunset

Blue or red
About all that's been said
My dead buried
When I look at you it's haunting
Moving on
For me it's the long haul
Clean cuts heal fast
Why do I make it last
Yeah I run myself through
When my regrets set the mood
Yeah I was dead wrong
I held it in too long
If I was your prince
It was just a glimpse
Stand tall
And then you watch me fall
Yeah I'm a sunset
Till there's nothing left
Oh all the days that I've rued
Oh I'm trying to change my tune
Well I just ran myself through
Yeah my past mistakes set the mood again
