falling through the cracks

the days they get cold
the nights i get lonely,
i keep falling down
i can’t keep you around
i can’t keep you around…

cuz i’m in love with a concept that’s
falling through the cracks
and you don’t know who i am
or what i’m capable of

who said that i would keep you around
who said we could work this out
who said i wanted you hanging around and
you don’t know why you stayed

i love you, i’m leaving

everything’s perfect, when i look into your eyes
everything’s working, you lie
i’m dying inside
can you hear me

my soul keeps screaming, i love you i’m leaving
i can’t take this anymore
my heart keeps bleeding, can anyone hear me
these walls are closing in around me
my life keeps flashing before me
i love you, i’m leaving

contemplating

contemplating the extent of fate and choice
god can you hear my voice, he says
he keeps searching, the truth’s unearthing
in this room he stands alone

although there’s millions of faces
and willing embraces, he struggles to find the door
cuz he’s been hurt so bad in the relationships that he’s had
when you try to get close you’ll hear his voice and he’ll say

and you tell me, that i’m the one who’s got the issues
well yes i’ve messed up, but how am i different from you
we all move forward, and i have nothing left to prove
to you

compensating the dreams he’s making,
with overstressed routine
he’s been so long in this drought,
but it’s finally washed out
if you listen he’ll shout
what life’s all about
and he’ll say,

let me tell you, that everyone here’s got some issues!
we all make mistakes, and no one here is different from you
we all move forward, and there is one thing left to do improve

don’t waste it

she wakes up alone
he sits by the phone
he won’t call
she feels so alone
she goes to the corner to buy a few beers
and he’s hoping that she will soon disappear

and she cries to herself in the night
takes their pics off the shelf
she keeps waiting for something amazing
and he turns his head every time she goes by
she looks away with tears in her eyes

and just take this chance
life happens so fast
hold on to the daylight
it’s fading fast
just make your move
this could be your last
hold on to your dreams
reach out for romance

you may find out that somebody’s waiting
while you’re suffocating
those smiles you’ve been faking
those days you’ve spent wasted

don’t waste it

she stops dead in her tracks
he slowly turns back
he’s debating and she’s finished waiting
the love that they have could save both their lives
but they let go of hope and held on to their pride

and the world is watching
what’s it gonna be
you’ve got 2 minutes left now
before she leaves permanently

7 am

7 am and i can’t sleep again
i can’t get you off my mind
i just get to sleep when that sun sneeks a peak
through my blinds
i open my eyes

and i, yes i, i see beautiful skies
and i, yes i, i want to see your smile

so i pick up the phone,
oh god, why aren’t you home
it’s been another lonely night
i finally get up as i fill up my cup
try to grasp insanity now

so i open those blinds and i can’t believe my eyes
as you pull in my drive
i cannot speak and my heart skips two beats
when i realize
i’m still asleep…

in your hands

the world has turned around
put my feet back on the ground
put my heart into your hands
don’t let it, don’t let it fall down

we’re brothers, who made out with sisters
now our lovin  has turned into wishes
i miss all your good night kisses
and when you’re away, you’re away
oh, how i miss you

and tell me…
is it too early to say
that i love you
would you walk away, walk away,
or just let me hold you
would you hang around
with these cobwebs
i keep spinning round
i keep spinning round…

there’s so much i want to say to you
but i keep it locked inside
i’m afraid if you here it
you’ll walk out of my life
and this fairy tale
we’ve fallen into
won’t end very well
won’t end very well…

i was thinking of leaving anyway

she said i’m sorry
i’m so sorry
i said don’t worry baby

i was thinking of leaving anyway
you just made up my mind
there was nothing we could say
that would make this ok

i’m ok

i said i love you
you know i love you
i will not change that
i still think good of you
just don’t come back

i’m ok
i’m not alright without you near
i’m ok
want you right back by my side

dreaming of you

we sit in the corner of a parking lot
my mind is empty
we keep on trying to talk
but these words are empty

and now i
i’m drenched in this ocean
of dying emotion
i’m riding your wave

i want you to know that i, i’m dreaming of you
i want you to know that i, i can’t sleep without
i want you to know why  i up and left you
i want you in my life
i can’t breath without you

so we go out on the streets
we keep getting nowhere
we’ve got no one to meet
we keep getting nowhere…

rigormortis

i can still taste your lips
feel the warmth of your kiss
then you said goodbye
we died now i’m alive

when you left, i found out who i am
i searched within myself decided where i stand
i lost the need to fit in, no longer pretend
i’m better off now that you slipped through my hands

well thank you, for breaking my heart
for ripping open old scars
imploding my world, collapsing all my faith,
for slicing the achilis, of my belief

i still feel your embrace
the way my heart used to race
i awoke the reality of your insanity
was blind, but now i see

i see a better life for me
i’m sorry you gave up on your dreams
at night i think i hear you scream
i hope you’re happy whatever that means

in the moment

she says just live in the moment
don’t look down that road
lord knows, if that train is coming
don’t worry about your load

if that train comes now,
and if you survive
just live in that moment,
and thank god you’re alive

we fight about nothing
we blow up at space
well i’m always worried,
and she’s full of faith
well i’ve got ambitions,
and she’s got grace
so let’s get together,
and go someplace

so when i wasn’t looking
that damn train arrived
and i was standing in the middle of those tracks now,
i guess i survived

you know it took me some time now
to get myself over that pain
and now i look forward
to those oncoming trains

it could be raining or snowing, a hurricane blowing
and we’ll never know, we keep stopping and going
i won’t try to show what the world wants to know
so let’s go, let’s go
let’s get together
