~D~

you make me feel like a lavender sweater
when I’m caught in a bad weather
you make me feel like a complete work of art
when I’m just falling apart

I’d dive head first till my love is drowning right in your arms where I belong
I’d stop this ferris wheel and climb to the top to steal away your heart 

“whenever you’re heading somewhere, everyone will keep telling you it’s impossible. mainly because they’ve been there, they failed… and they’re afraid to see you succeed” - Butch Walker

gee… thanks Mr. Walker! 

we’re hanging on a wire, jumping on the water
you set me on fire, I’m burned in my desire
but I’m gonna steer away, higher and higher
and higher… 

sometimes, I’m still hoping… 
sometimes, I can’t believe…
lesson learned, never trust yourself 

I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open and fixes all of life’s mistakes. I wanna be the house you were raised in, the only place that you feel safe.

last night I fell asleep a liar
and woke up a sinner 
I’m as empty as a vacant sign
as hollow as an echo
steered away from the deep blue ocean 
where I used to sail 

I keep telling myself I’ve still got time
time’s a human invention, 
the universe doesn’t subscribe to such measurements

judge me from the footsteps I left behind
cause I don’t riot for less 
if you’re willing, take my hand 
exit the light and enter the night 

it’s good you didn’t see the nervous wreck I used to be
I never thought a man could feel so small

the stories are starting to come together.

2012 is gonna be a busy year ahead. 

I saw a spider crawling slowly 
with dead intention to live
I saw a wolf hidden in silence
it creeps from the point of suspense 

I heard a thief from far behind
the robbery of false words
I heard the footsteps of a murderer
with love as his perfect crime

he kills from the skin,
to the heart then right through the bone

like a kid locked up in the basement
I’m a cat caged inside these four walls 
the shallow grave I dug for myself
so I bend my body and chill into the night

this heart of steel is corroded 
weakened by the storm that’s raging 
in this serene ocean 
soon it will sink and find its grave 
deep down on the ocean floor 

maybe someday I’ll dance in the perfect harmony.
