Untitled '05

Feeling the weight of your breath on my chest

I gasp in search of another ounce of life.

Why do you rob me of my pleasure

Why do you rape me of my pain

Why must you swallow all my passion

And always leave me in the rain

I take back what I said

I know it was wrong

Fuck your stupid ass dreams

And screw all those dumb ass songs

Claw your way out of that hole

And wreak havoc on the world

Simmer down with the devil

And watch your destiny unfurl

Give me back what has always been mine

Let go of that shit you lock deep down inside

Ride your way to somewhere

Anywhere but here

Suffocate yourself with greatness

And allow me to steer



Blood will boil

Night will fall

Change will vanish

And rekindle us all

Fly with the big boys and dance in the sun

Play in my reality

And make me the one

Bark up my tree

Lie in my bed

Fell the wet inside me

And drink what heaven said

Suck from my pride box

Let it fill your mind

Because it’s all we’ve lived for

And what makes this world so blind

One of our songs

The way it carries me though

On the roughest of days

Calms my corrugated fears

And exploits my tainted ways

It bashes weary tears

And then floods you with guilt

Tears the hinges off your soul

And lets all of loves petals wilt

At just the right moment

It will turn you around

Fill your eyes with love

Then shove you to the ground

How dare you, who are you

To say all my words

All the things I live to know

All the feelings that never want to emerge

I give this to you

No, I give this to you

No you gave this to me

Because it says it all

I'll live by this and you live by that

Rest my heart on a tune

Or a word in a note

See the place that we went

When that song was wrote

Nothing ever changes

And nothing ever will

the song will always be ours

but the words sustain our heart

and another voice

will always come along

and grace us with another

one of our songs.
