Dive in
Kick the smoke
Hit the switch
Systems go
Sing and scream
Into the night
Turn the key
Out of time
Except for my own fate,
Destruction’s not the way,
Too late to change what’s at stake,
Forsake me.
You know it’s not your fight,
Go on and live your life,
Just leave me hanging upside down,
You’ll thank me.
If we lived, in the after life,
Would we outlive, the end of time?
Just a thought, for what it’s worth,
Adjust the clock, ease the hurt.
Accepting my own fate,
Destruction’s not the way,
Too late to change what’s at stake,
Forsake me.
You know it’s not your fight,
Go on and live your life,
Just leave me hanging upside down,
Or save me.

Danger Is
04:38

Its a fleeting, washed out memory,
dancing toe-to-toe with deja vu.
You sense it drifting out endlessly,
paranoia has its eyes on you.
You sketch an image of your life,
knowing nothing’s ever black or white.
this reckless reckoning won’t fade away,
there’s only so much that can ever change.
Don’t forget that I’m treading on thin ice.
But when it’s just you and I,
I’m free and so is my mind.
So if I fall, where will you be?
And if I call, will you hear me?
Often times my feelings take me by surprise.
Could it be my demons are running out of alibis?
Maybe I see angels, greeting me in disguise.
Lately I think danger is keeping me... alive.
It’s a lonely calm before a storm,
whispering a prayer in your ears.
A moment’s notice, chance to be reborn,
yet everything remains unclear.
Yeah everything remains unclear.
Yeah everything remains in fear.
Even when these lights are fading,
echoes stirring inside my cell,
and before I crawl into sedation,
at least I know this rapture isn’t Hell.
Don’t forget that I’m treading on thin ice.
But when it’s just you and I,
I’m free and so is my mind.
So if I fall, where will you be?
And if I call, will you hear me?

Sirens

All the sirens sing
come follow me
to the deep end.
But it all depends
is it me or them
playing the victim?
Wanting what’s unknown to us.
Is it ever enough?
Post-trauma mixed
with dirty politics
is thievery.
Like a train derailed
senses will fail
it’s no mystery.
As long as I walk without dread
There’s no room for dissent.
Wanting what’s unknown to us
is it ever enough?
It’s never enough.
What have I become?
Sirens in my head
Never seem to end
But it’s alright.
Alleviate the mind
by hitting overdrive
to blur the lines.
Dusted one by one.

Everlasting
04:26

Up across the sky,
I feel the moon sway to the night.
Down along the street,
I hear the wind crawl through the heat.
Watching days go by,
with lows and highs,
we smiled, and cried, and laughed.
If you ever leave,
I just can’t help but think
I’ll be stuck in the past.
For all the things
that mattered to you and me
but wasn’t meant to be.
Forever dream
‘cause life keeps happening,
just hold onto what you believe and--
Live like its the end,
that’s what I’ve been told
but its hard to begin.
It’s easy to love, easier to hurt,
yet where is our cure?
Is it our shallow minds,
and our fear of heights,
that leave us blind and astray?
Though if our passions burn
and its ashes help us learn,
maybe that’s our way.
For all the times
we wanted to unwind
but found nothing of the kind.
Forget the signs,
erase it from our minds,
we can make things right,
even if we fall behind.
What is the truth?
If this world ends with you,
where does that leave me?
Can’t shake this feeling.
Let it go or let it be
is what they said to me.
If only it were so easy.
It’s not over yet,
call of all bets,
still time left for a change.
And though I’ve had enough
at least we have our trust,
that’ll never break
For every beat
your rhythm and melody
I’m always listening.
Forever be
more than a memory
‘cause you’re worth remembering
you’re everlasting.
