Tuning In
Tuning Into you;
letting you breathe and wander as you might while I wait for that time.
See when I said that I got you and you said that you're mine;
I thought that was a promise not just easily spoken words on a line.
My heart is on the line..
hook, line and I'm sinking into my head and we both know that's a dangerous place for me to stay.
I can barely reach you;
who is reaching you?
who is corroding the path we created with corrosive manipulations?
Here's what it's like to be blind;
The grass isn't greener on another side,
no matter how pretty the smell of a lie.
Might as well wear a collar;
let you drag me around the way I'm obediently abiding the time that it takes to realize you are mine.
I despise the silence that I loved because its meaning has changed direction,
because it screams loudly what I should be saying but instead I'm escaping….
Escaping into my mind and thoughts that I don't adhere to or respect.
Just lay my head to rest on your chest and let me count the heartbeats as they sway their way to my lips.
Consequence in the mist of a storm that plays with our toes attempting to step through the wrong doors.
Close the door and let me waste away with you, let what loves me kill me so I know what life is for.
The things that flow from the outside are prejudice of what they do not understand.
Our thoughts are simple when left alone in the moonlight.
Would you rather stars die?
I am galaxies,
you are all around me,
in the breath that I bleed from these veins, in words that I spill in the silence…
on this page…
But only if the past can be wilted to the abyss and flowers be planted in their place…
Am I your place as you are mine?
Does a slow but inevitable bloom appeal to your pallet?
Are you ready to drink more then poison and collide to death for life with me?
Do you like the way the future tastes?
letting you breathe and wander as you might while I wait for that time.
See when I said that I got you and you said that you're mine;
