There's only one way forward
Its only a matter of comunication
And those doors are open
Its in hammering the nail on the head
And securing the doorframe
She's too easy to access
She's too open with herself
I'm too hard too please
I'm too ill at ease.
Its all oky
I'm not hoping for a comitment ceremony
Its just one of those days
Where she lays on the bed,
stairs at me with those eyes
Bursting with smiles
Saying its all here,waiting
Wholesome girl next door
I lift a glass
And prapose a toast
Flow your hair down to...
And those doors are open
Its in hammering the nail on the head
And securing the doorframe
She's too easy to access
She's too open with herself
I'm too hard too please
I'm too ill at ease.
Its all oky
I'm not hoping for a comitment ceremony
Its just one of those days

Bursting with smiles

Repunzel
I want to see you
There's nothing to see
Al these comprami$es
Have hidden what was something to me
I want to hold you
There is no hand in reach
All these faces,and I'm not recognized by anybody
Your opening statement
Has traces of a search for more than"it could be"
Repunzel,Repunzel
Let down your hair
I need your kind of woman,to take care of me
A softer you
A battle scared me
A world of maybe's.

Distance
The distance grows
The silence knows
Of the pathways that don't lead home
I've been knocking at this door
With nuckles swolen from trying
Ignoring the feeling
That doesn't go away
Your already gone
Not the one,u were anymore
Not the one I'd do anything for
She smokes more than she talks
A nervous walk
Like there is something to run from
Who is spinning the barrel of the gun
Who are you dying to escape
Restless leg syndrome
Amnesia
and selfdefence.
That has no trust,
In those who say they...
The silence knows
Of the pathways that don't lead home
I've been knocking at this door
With nuckles swolen from trying
Ignoring the feeling
That doesn't go away
Your already gone
Not the one,u were anymore
Not the one I'd do anything for
She smokes more than she talks
A nervous walk
Like there is something to run from
Who is spinning the barrel of the gun
Who are you dying to escape
Restless leg syndrome
Amnesia
and selfdefence.
That has no trust,
In those who say they...

Fingers crossed
Everything is floating to the surface
10 years ago,3 months ago
Last week...
Childhood afflictions
Pushing your body back
For being something they couldn't understand.
The places sand gets into
When u find yourself on the ground
with mud cakes made from drops of blood.
Althou this is far from child's play
Even this cloud has a silver lining
Those re acurring dreams.
Of when screams were folded into layers,
and packed away in skin
Forgotten with the stolen toy cars
Of the neighbors kid.
I have to take...

Hers
I miss her face
I miss her smile
I've build this thing into a mountain
That I cnt climb
I've followed u everywhere
But ran when u turned to me
I follow u still
But I'm in terror,for you to see me
Uve seen that I love u
Ure happyness made u aware
Amongst nothing,there was fullness
Because I was there
In earlier days,we said oneday
In this later stage,
Oneday stays with me
As this goal post
To reach when my legs can make it there
I'm sorry for years lost
I'm sorry for unanswered questions ...
I miss her smile
I've build this thing into a mountain
That I cnt climb
I've followed u everywhere
But ran when u turned to me
I follow u still
But I'm in terror,for you to see me
Uve seen that I love u
Ure happyness made u aware
Amongst nothing,there was fullness
Because I was there
In earlier days,we said oneday
In this later stage,
Oneday stays with me
As this goal post
To reach when my legs can make it there
I'm sorry for years lost
I'm sorry for unanswered questions ...

When an insult
Is more comfortable
Than a compliment
U must know,u've lived at rock bottom
U must be aware,u've been surrounded by damaged people.
U must know they are wrong.
The captive,falls inlove with he captor
The abused becomes the abuser
The victim becomes what hurt most
Cycles in cycles
Chain links,linking on and on
Only truth sets you free
Only calling it by the name
Starts the process of ending the influence of the enemy.
Resist the repressor
Is more comfortable
Than a compliment
U must know,u've lived at rock bottom
U must be aware,u've been surrounded by damaged people.
U must know they are wrong.
The captive,falls inlove with he captor
The abused becomes the abuser
The victim becomes what hurt most
Cycles in cycles
Chain links,linking on and on
Only truth sets you free
Only calling it by the name
Starts the process of ending the influence of the enemy.
Resist the repressor

Another man's tale
U use me as a cautionary tale
Without the story being concluded
U use me as a "what would u do"
Without the answers being given
The distance from your eyes to your nose is the furthest your insight goes
Speaking of right and wrong
As if you grasp,what things really mean
My head is heavy from what you haven't seen
Take stock
Asses damages
Tally up the score
Some believe they win
And in that thought alone they've lost
Without the story being concluded
U use me as a "what would u do"
Without the answers being given
The distance from your eyes to your nose is the furthest your insight goes
Speaking of right and wrong
As if you grasp,what things really mean
My head is heavy from what you haven't seen
Take stock
Asses damages
Tally up the score
Some believe they win
And in that thought alone they've lost

Fresh off the Backburner
Dreamt you were dead
Woke up with the sadest feeling alive
Started questioning my life.
Stared in my eyes
Wiped the mirror to make things clearer
Woke up stairing in my rearview mirror
Woke up searching for you
My favorite hues,french ultramarine blue
All my mind conjures is you.
You knew
All the things I'm knowing now
You saw
All the things I'm seeing now.
Ps.My eyes want to rest on you.
Woke up with the sadest feeling alive
Started questioning my life.
Stared in my eyes
Wiped the mirror to make things clearer
Woke up stairing in my rearview mirror
Woke up searching for you
My favorite hues,french ultramarine blue
All my mind conjures is you.
You knew
All the things I'm knowing now
You saw
All the things I'm seeing now.
Ps.My eyes want to rest on you.

The Aries
You make skin and bones look good
U dazzle behind ciggarette smoke
Where humour makes your beauty eternal
all jokes aside
These small remembered details
Are steering me to madness
She creeps up on me
In dreams
In off topic conversations bout random things.
Her name rolls past me
In the end credits of the final scene
I see her sillouette in the woman
who dances on the screen
I see flashes of her everywhere
A nightmare of haunting praportions
An echo that goes on without end
Each day,again and again and again...
U dazzle behind ciggarette smoke
Where humour makes your beauty eternal
all jokes aside
These small remembered details
Are steering me to madness
She creeps up on me
In dreams
In off topic conversations bout random things.
Her name rolls past me
In the end credits of the final scene
I see her sillouette in the woman
who dances on the screen
I see flashes of her everywhere
A nightmare of haunting praportions
An echo that goes on without end
Each day,again and again and again...

A Hugg that holds me
Inclined to pull away
In huggs that rub my back
As if someone died
There is too much pitty stairing at my eyes
She says let me take a picture
For when your gone and I'm alone,
I say if I ever come back you would know this is my home.
I'm swolen with tears
With years of holding every crippling fear in
Of making the best of things
Of fucking,myself free from loving.
I want more now.
More than what whent wrong.
More than looking away
In those moments that should cement us together.
I've concluded ,I only want...
In huggs that rub my back
As if someone died
There is too much pitty stairing at my eyes
She says let me take a picture
For when your gone and I'm alone,
I say if I ever come back you would know this is my home.
I'm swolen with tears
With years of holding every crippling fear in
Of making the best of things
Of fucking,myself free from loving.
I want more now.
More than what whent wrong.
More than looking away
In those moments that should cement us together.
