How To Start A Fire

let's set this city ablaze
we'll burn down the
monuments and build
mountains in our place we
could see everything
we could start a fire and
all shine in it's light
shine so bright we burn in
eyes and heal the stories
ending

this is the last
time we will ever bleed to
feel alive

consider
this a rehearsal
your heart of hearts rekindled

catching the fruits of our
labors and holding our
hearts in our hands
waiting for you to sound a
prayer in the form of a
anchor replied by holding
you up in red skies bound
by love

let's set this
city ablaze we'll learn
how to start a fire shine so
bright we burn our eyes

The Sound

If I only had an ocean to compliment the sky
I'd pull it down
and paint it for you
and I'd never question why
cause red would mean you loved me
and blue would mean you cared
but black my heart when left alone
to cold and killing stares.
This is the burning of a dream.

The sound now turns to silence
but I'll keep spinning around
naked in the rain of my own tears
as they fall into the
bucket of your apologies
while closing everyone else's eyes
because your own are shut
not to see the volume rise again.

Feels like I'm waiting in the last hiding place on earth
Hangmans's noose tight round my neck
but I'm saved and
for 100,000 memories
been washed ashore
be swept again by forever
and sailed away from you.
Now that the rain has ended
so the sun...can shine thru me

Only you could row my boat ashore
If only you could set my fears at rest
but until lack of sympathies regress
I'm still waiting, I'm still waiting
for your call.

A Blank Page Empire

Thoughts pass by like a river flow
Must be hard to keep track
Where you came from
I'd float down
Stand right next to you
But something is causing a lull
In the traffic
An empire is moving the grass overgrown
I'd blow this whole world to pieces
To not be alone
This shovels been digging all day long
Can't even seem to make a scratch
In the surface
But what is the purpose
I'll always be stopped by the why can't i
Why can't I be you

And put those hands away
I go through this everyday
Sounds like a radio tuned to white noise
Softer slowly softer
Can't this thing go any faster
And for everyone to see
It's only killing me
Awake in this cold cell i
I just hope you're happy
Awake in this cold cell
I break my body against the wall
Awake in this cold cell
I am my only devil why can't I be you
And put those hands away
I go through this everyday
I am my only devil

Against My Better Judgement

with starving appetites for arguments
you remind me of a secret
i was never supposed to tell
the time is up
the verdicts in
everybody's right
everybody wins
the time is up
the verdicts in
everybody's right
everybody wins

did you know you were a saint
what a shameful fall from grace
but ill catch you
ill catch you

everybody's waiting for that something they can hold on to
while tripping over our own words
to self-dug graves for an excuse to fall
cause every failure's just as sweet as the last
the time is up
the verdicts in
everybody's right
everybody wins
the time is up
the verdicts in
everybody's right
everybody wins

did you know you were a saint
what a shameful fall from grace
but ill catch you
ill catch you

everybody's waiting for that something they can hold on to
while tripping over our own words
to self-dug graves for an excuse to fall
cause every failure's just as sweet as the last

as a dream comes when there are many cares
so the speech of a fool
when there are many words
the sun it misses summer in winter
didn't you know we wear the same
the same pretentious name
lets trade for awhile
i'm so curious

everybody's waiting for that something they can hold on to
while tripping over our own words
to self-dug graves for an excuse to fall
cause every failure's just as sweet as the last
every failure's just as sweet as the last

I Am

i am the water
i am waves crashing on to you
i am the blank wave
i am the madness
the loss the dark the hunt the cage the race

i am rejection i am redemption
i am desire for obligation

i am forever
i could be never if thats what you want
i am the desert i am the oasis the strength the weakness
for arguments sake

i am rejection i am redemption
i am desire for obligation
i am one step closer for you

please tell me when you're through
cuz i may not be through with you
your loss to sustain
but i will remain and true to form
if this were the last breath i ever took
would you take the time to look and would you know

cuz i am the water
i am waves crashing on to you
you could protect me
but you will kill me when you're through

Pride War

You'd trade our starving eyes for a tar and feathered heart
a 25cent execution
to hear your anthem praises played
on frequency decayed
a breath of frigid self-made winter.
Sing out and sing loud
we'll sing as loud as you do
and hold on hold on
cause this is the end of the line
I'm not falling.
Of beautiful and sacred things
and your immaculate disguise
I'm trading it in
for my pride war emblem.
As if id fall to pieces
in the wake of your design.
I'm not falling.
Sing out and sing loud
we'll sing as loud as you do
and hold on hold on
cause this is the end of the line
I'm not falling.

On Legendary

now that were one now,
softly whispers,
saving grace,
6:19 as i awake,
and stronger than last year,
my eyes closed,
the stars can see me
the stars will meet me on the ground.
(on the ground...)

summer's gone
and winter is never too far now
and my poor arms (my arms are breaking)
outstretched so long that my bones are now breaking
but there...
you come
with a smile thatd send any man to his knees,
and i feel
ive begun now that were one now.

you graciously add to
i graciously add you to my heart.
(to my heart...)

Insincerity As An Artform

It's been a long time since I felt the rain upon my head
It's been a long time since I felt the rain upon my head
A moment in seperation the foreground don't seem so bright
These angels in my head are in between the shadow and the light.
Were my arms to short to ransom you from broken skin and black and blue
Unstitch your eyes so you could read this forever
Dead and broken and I'm backwards turned to love
My heart in a box I send to you
for a sky held up by stars
Were my arms to short to ransom you from broken skin and black and blue
Unstitch your eyes so you could read this forever
It's been a long time since I felt the rain upon my head
Your varying degress of grayness tugging the deepest of heartstrings.
Were my arms to short to ransom you from broken skin and black and blue
Unstitch your eyes so you could read this forever
Were my arms to short to ransom you from broken skin and black and blue
I'll unstitch your eyes so you could read this forever.

The Deep

You'll be a wolf
Devoured by a lion
Cuz you look like a lamb
Baptized in fire
Fearing yet hoping
The best has swallowed you
Sleep once again

I should go sleep
Fear I'm running out of time
Sometimes I feel
I should sever my limbs
So I could never crawl home
Back home to you
Waiting and watching
To see if you'll follow me
To my grave

And I should go sleep
Fear im running out of
Time waits for no one
(Time) time waits for no one
(Waits) time waits for no one
(Time) time waits for no one

I might not wake up next to you
Excuses, excuses, excuses
Made excuses for eating your young
Lets lick the wounds
And find out where we came from
When copperas have faded out
I hope you'll still be by my side
This is not dystrophy
But desire
Desire for comfort in the dark
Call me a mocking bird
Call me a mocking bird
And it's done
