False Time

When I see your mind finding it real in false time im guided by the way you guide me the dark attracts the misled but youve led me get your face off my cupcake and it's not your birthday but I will say I like those colors on you it projects your shrine let's match sometime I find it hard to swallow sweet but you've got it wrapped in salty meat and honey my mouths wide open when you speak it must be your magical dentistry I'm ready for eternity if you're willing to commit the crime I'm ready for the bags to open and be real in false time cause when the balls find their machine the game becomes a cliche break the rules with me it's time we make the mark and claim the prize it's real in false time we're real in false time

Tomorrow Without You

Hey Mister
I found your words buried in this book
I found that heart you etched
I sketched it on my arm to see how it would look
If I were to say I love you
Cold hands holding my hand
This isn't how we planned
Is it ever going to be good enough?
maybe I'm just not as tough
Or you're riding in the safe lane
So neither of us is to blame for the crash
It's funny how you laugh
When I'm serious about spending tomorrow without you
Just to do something without you
I'll stamp your silly little etch all over town
I'll be your indescribable clown
I'll let you down
So I can watch you laugh
As we subtly crash
If I were to say I love you

Reds & Greens

The suns setting behind the city's silhouette
Your face lit up with lights from the screen
it's not a secret I feel you're falling into me
A silent landing, I'd say, welcome
You've been falling for quite some time
The exit closer than sentences we piece together
and I can only wish to find our escape
Is it fate?
This way we stumbled upon our loneliness
Finding ourselves making sense
Now you're shaking your head no
Because my footsteps inch towards the backlit moon
Quiet waves will punctuate, and I'll get back to you soon
But the unpaved streets call my name
Assuming I should hop a few blocks more
Erase the smeared markings I scraped on your bathroom floor
Now you're looking around and i'm trying to be strong
If I'm wrong, let my absence fade into our favorite song
and I promise to think of you when that song carries on
Is it fate?
How our scrambled words fit together?
That our mistakes somehow made this slip feel better?
Is it fate that I find you to be the most beautiful
In the morning when the suns just peaking through
and the little hairs on your shoulder glow
I almost loved you, you know

Sometimes

sometimes
every day
i see you through you
and I wonder how this could be
how you could not see
that this love is bottled in glass
how long will this last?
and I've got so much time
to sit and watch you dance
holding hands, romance
but sometimes
everyday
i think about you
smiling and holding on tight
sometimes you're just right
a nibble, a bite
a wrinkle in the sheets at night
it happens
you're not even my friend
and i see right through you
looking through me
there is no future to believe
and no past to photograph
we're just a laugh
we're just a laugh
two bottles on the shelf in the back
sometimes
everyday
i think about you moving away
and I can't say that I'll miss you
enough to ask you to stay
it happens
we just met
through irony and loneliness
it will pass
we'll see through this empty past
find a way to make love smash
shatter like glass
and sometimes
on these lust filled nights
i think about
how long this will last

Fatal Demands

Maybe this is just me thinking
but I think it is time I go home
Secrets I've failed to reveal, are real
but not real enough to let you get that close to me
and I'm sorry that I've structured walls
With framed images of us holding hands
it was a mistake and I know you'll understand
You said you needed to know why
when my eyes failed to navigate into your arms
it was a fatal crash and I bit my tongue but I mean't no harm
I drove with all intentions to love you but honey I just can't
and I am guilty of confusion, dishonesty and awkward silence
I'm sorry I've never given you a straight answer
I just smiled and held your hand
it was a mistake and I know you'll understand
And it's been such a time of pleasure, it almost perfectly aligned
but when I look at you I don't see me and it's more fatal to keep trying
It's only fair that I'd be lonely a while, in a watchtower out at sea
You deserve the real thing, not a framed photograph of what was not meant to be
We'll un-mend to be mended again, I am so sorry it has come to this demand
I so much loved curling my lips up to you but it was a mistake
I'm going home
I know you'll understand

Geometric

When there is a time for words
Silence rolls it's tumble weed
on a desolate street
where it belongs
Where do we belong, here?
and why do you know my name?
I feel those eyes watching time
Every step I make is geometric
and you wait for that mistake
I'll make when I fall
for every pleading word you say.

Now when the truth rolls in
I'll lead every sentence and begin
Roll out a blue print
With a map, where do we belong?
By the shape of our palms
You've got it all wrong
because I can never be her
and I can never be the one
Yet, here we are
Filling voids with sweet mistakes
and I know your name
and every geometric angle of your heart
No room for two
So I tip-toe around like so
Careful not to spill my love
Where ever we go
Until you go
Where you belong

Flames

How could I have doubted you
could be the one for me?
I thought I saw a ghost
but that was just me
I realize now, if its not too late
I'd like to build you a castle
and keep you from leaving today

I would throw myself under a train
once those words fall from your tongue
How could I have doubted
that you could be the one
We swallowed the night and watched our home burn
I blamed you but you said not a word
and in your silence flames praised our home
I knew right then you did not burn it alone

How could I have doubted you
could be the one for me?
I thought I saw a ghost
but that was just me
I realize now, if its not too late
I'd like to build you a castle
and keep you from leaving today

I would fight in every war
Once your empty eyes look away
How could I have doubted you
could be the one for me?
I stand beside our river bed
Waiting and collecting stones to throw
count the ripples until you decide it's time to go
I wish I could've been everything
but a ghost, they never show
You have been the one for me
How could I have not known?
