it’s always the stars that fall down
that never reach the ground
all you do is lie and deceit
don’t you know an eye for an eye
is a bad habit? so keep the receipt
i need them to see,
but this is deeper than me.
try having a secret to keep
with a backstabbing grit in your teeth
but want the whole world to love you
as their favorite mystery piece
how can you blame a single person you meet.
i’m no angel you see
i fly high with devils
born with no wings
my love embezzled
by impermanent things
we are all sinners unique
and purpose we seek
so keep the ground on your feet
because we’re all here fighting gravity
memories
the only possession we truly retain
when other things leave us
we grasp on to what remains
to strip you from your memory
the ultimate theft
a sentence worse than death
miss u papa
her skin is cold, our fingers fold
and i hold her in my eyes
as she moans
“you saved me”
she wrote
if i’m being honest
i have to let you go
the southern sun is setting
sinking ships below
backwards i’ve been running
downwards i have flown
heart is getting heavy
you say it’s overgrown
some people take life too fast
some too slow
here i am in between
trying to find the balance
of everything i know
and she was beautiful
and vibrant
and most of the time
a riot
but what i think
you’ll truly never know
secrets to keep
i understand alone
seldom asleep
so when a dream comes along
comatose
never wake me up
some things are,
better left untold,
im too old for feelings,
and feelings have gotten too old,
i dream of dreams,
and im dying to know,
what they mean,
or what they hold,
for he was a silver boy,
and all she craved was gold.
