Picturesque
03:25
|

Unattainable.
When you walk against the wind
So very soft in the eyes
Tough beneath the skin
And I want to tell you I
Will drown within the memory
Of the time you spent in my
Cemetery
You're a pipe dream
Stained but not inside my head
Picturesque and terrifying
But I will win you yet

Awake
04:24
|
|||
I lie inside your head
Adrift a river wild
Spend the day in bed
Pushing for your smile
apart from everything
you're pulling me away
from the morose maelstrom
I sink in everyday
When I see you.
I know I seem awake and
I know you look complacent
and I know both are falsified
and I know but I'm lost in your
You tell me of the harm
The damage you have seen
You fear it never ends
But there's a light I know you'll see
For now I'll steal your glance
I'll hold you higher than
The river you've been drowning in
I more than know I can

Don't Nikkie
03:24
|

You feel your own salvation slip away
nothing ever seems to fit when the pieces are in play
you try to pretend that everything is fine
things have scattered things have changed but all will shape in time.
the river bends the river shakes
it depends on the path you take
but right or wrong its not your own to decide
the river pulls, the river turns
it may be cold or it may burn
above it all the river always must go on
you know, this may be a rocky road
the world outside may crumble and this machine might explode
but know that an answer can be found
although the walls may topple like a fault line shakes the ground

Bake Sale
04:42
|

I'm so far from where your awake.
Measured in meters, but covered in tape
Intricate lines caressing the blade
I'm indecisive when I can't relate
You say your sorry but I don't mind
I'm perfectly content taking my time
Tortured and torn and hurt and crying
I'd adjust the words to save you.
It's two o'clock but not feeling late
You tear at my head with words of debate
I dream in your head just like I'm in space
I find all your pleasures and let them escape

Stay
05:15
|
|||
You have barely gone
But still your pulse remains
Along with all the scars
Along my open veins
More than a passing thought
You linger on my tongue
It makes it hard to speak
I'm not the type to be so stunned
and when i pried you awake
the thought occurred to me
if i bring you to the day
You'll be forced to leave
And it seems a little fast
But I would have to say
I wouldn't object at all
If you decide to stay.
My pieces scattered then
Aloof from the design
Thrown upon the ground
From things now far behind
They slowly start to mend
Maybe they could change
Inside another shape
I'm just the type to be so strange
I promise not to be
twisted and insane
despite my outer shell
despite my every day
I'd never be the kind
to try and chip away
your beautiful design
or leave you to decay

Consume
03:15
|
|||
Eyes so bright it burns to stare.
I can't be here but I want you there.
Chains can break and lives can change
I'll tear the reins from everything you do.
To be. With you.
Etre. Avec Vous.
You move like water in control.
I stare. I stop. I regain hold.
You pull me in and shut me up.
My medicine, You spill.
I just consume.

Discretion
03:08
|
|||
I think about
the hazy cold discretion
and it's place in my life
I think about
the tell tale signs commencing
will the truth pour through the lie
And it's not my place to say
Here's a cold one
Drink it down
the world is a perfect shade of grey
I'm holding my tongue
like a clown
misdirect them from the blaze
in my mind at the sight of your piercing perfect eyes
i might just make it.
I think about
the pent up adoration
making waves against my mouth
I think about
My comfort in this station
I'd rather this than be without
I'd not object to staying

Watch Me Burn
03:09
|
|||
A lie. a jagged scar
each word construed with malice
you're my delusional
picture perfect smile
I'm not the type of boy
To stay above the water
I like the taste of my
screams against the tide
This world spins lightning fast
and you look so concerned
You're on the sidelines
So stand back and watch me burn
Inch closer to me now
You feel the weight I carry
I'm not a tiny bit
sympathetic to your cause
I find you razor sharp
dry wit to cut the wrists of
everyone in the club
you wish to be part of
This world spins lightning fast
and you look so concerned
You're on the sidelines
So stand back and watch me burn
My life in photographs
Your picture in the still frame
I'm sorry I can't do
Everything you need.
My will is hard to see
Buried beneath the kindness
It's hard as fucking steel
And for you it bleeds.
This world spins lightning fast
and you look so concerned
You're on the sidelines
So stand back and watch me burn

Astronaut
05:12
|
|||
never could see thru the color blue
and pale as it maybe it looks good on you
and i feel like i could leap an airplane
you seem to be the right type of eye candy
waking up each section of anatomy
and i feel the early stages of debauchery
i hold my breath for a little bit
and dance away all my inhibitions
now i feel unstoppable
i run my fingers thru your hair
i bet my hand against your incapacitating stare
and i feel complete
rock hard fox giving everything to me
And i am not afraid of anything
I will only go as far as you think i should
I'll drink you down just like you're medicine
oh, it tastes so
the trails of delight float across your eyes
clawing at my head as im clawing your thighs
as you seem to trip along with me
the measure of a man brushing by your camp
i kiss your lips as i take your hand
i cant think of anything better
the sexy little universe in front of my face
im an astronaut in your ultraspace
and i taste sweet love in its purest form
carefully i brush along
every dainty saintly curve of your form
and i take my time and wait
rock hard fox causing me to change my shape

For You
02:54
|
|||
id make it rain in here
to see you smile
i'd swim the sea of fear
for you
and heaven
is not so good
heaven is not as pure
as you
i'd stand against the sun
to hear your laugh
i'd bridge the galaxy
in your name
