Eyes

Your eyes hold all my dreams

Nothing seems as it should seem

I try not to stare

Your looks leave me bare

All my secrets exposed

All I am to be known

Just please stay with me

Stay and see all I see

As I sleep in your shirt

Forget all the hurt

Just please hold me near

Take away my pain and my fear

This love is no surprise

As all my dreams are in your eyes

Demons

These demons that lie inside

Wait as they hide

I feel their touch and I tense

Know too well what is next

Unexpected they show up

Ready to pounce when not enough

When emotions inside are confused

They know it's time to make their move

When all I should feel is bliss

They secretly know I can't do this

Insanity

I've found so much normality 

In my lifetime of insanity

Always not being enough

I'd turned into someone damaged and tough

Not willing to shed a tear

I'd lost hope you'd appear

But you came along

Stopped to write me a song

Something to hold in the bad

It'll be here when I'm sad

Because I've built a lot of walls

Along with some dark shadowed halls

That block out some of the light

Sometimes hard to tell day from night

But despite the lifetime of insanity

And all it's normality

You came along

And make  it so easy for me to belong

Struggle

There's a struggle in my mind

A truth so hard to find

When blinded by emotion

Caught up in the commotion

I know what's wrong from what's right

But I never expected this fight

My head never wins over my heart

Knew I couldn't let go from the start

Please be here with me

See all that we can see

Because I keep losing this struggle

My heart causes me this trouble

Love

Love lost it's meaning
I don't know this feeling
It's broken and battered
My heart's been shattered
What happened to rainbows?
Is this how it goes?
My skies lost their stars
Can't see past these scars
What happened to dancing on clouds?
Everything that allows
The butterflies to fly?
Bats now have come to reside
I can't see past the rain
This love so full of pain
Not what I dreamed of in dreams
Of how love always seemed

Leave

You bruise and scrape
Have an ability to hate
But these I leave behind
Go forth to free my mind
Of the hold you have
You take this sad
For you get to keep it
With you I leave it
I get to go on
I get a new dawn
These things I leave behind
These words for you to remind
Of how you had a hold
Of how you can stay cold

Now

Too many what ifs
This isn't how one lives
Regretting the past
Thinking everything went too fast
Go back a few years
Maybe avoid all the tears
But where would I be now?
Still questioning why and how?
 It's life's lessons
Endless sessions
Of what not to do
Of how we couldn't stay true
But that was yesterday
I knew it could never stay
Live today for the now
Learn to stop questioning why and how

Dawn

Haven't been sleeping
Reality comes creeping
Too dark tonight
Too dark to fight
There's no moon
It all came too soon
To handle the shadows
The truth that follows
All the silence brings
I want the birds to sing
Sing that new song
To bring a new dawn

Fatality

Lost my sense of reality
You caused this fatality
Of my spirit
You split it
Left only with dreams
Nothing is as it seems
Take what I can get
You seem to forget
That I need love too
Can't make you brand new
You want the attention
Go find your redemption 
I don't have enough to give
And maybe I can't forgive
That I'm not enough
That I can't stay tough
You break down that wall
I'm just waiting to fall

Bliss

I'm so in love with this
This that brings me endless bliss
Because what I feel
This here
Couldn't be more real
I could just say no
Could just turn and go
But what would I be left with?
Believing this love is myth?
I don't care if it isn't enough
If they say all you do is bluff
Because I want to be here
To believe that this is real
To believe in this bliss
To be so in love with this

Pray

Take me in your arms, say it's ok
I still feel you like it was yesterday
I could've said goodbye
I could've made more of a try
I keep living with that regret
Something I can't forget
So take me in your arms, don't let me stray
Because I can make it through day by day
With the love of people you left behind
Finding peace where it is to find
Where the foundation keeps me ground
With the love of this family so profound
Please take me in your arms, show me the way
I hope you hear me all the times I pray

Imagination

Figment of my imagination
So much frustration
To believe you were real
To believe you could feel
When all you bring is pain
I leave only with shame
With all my trying and failing
You have my heart
My body's left trailing

Mortality

Hide away from reality
No sense of mortality
It all just disappears
All I want is you near
No need for the world
Your call is all I heard
Possibilities of what night can bring
Hiding away from everything
Let's chase the shadows
See if love follows
Tell the secrets within
Each and every sin
I want to hide away
To forever stay this way
