somehow, one thing always stays with me,
besides the shaking valleys in the depth of what makes me.
i've gone through shit, and it's sure not yours, and i'm sure as hell not yet free
but it stays that i still want the world to see.
no matter how much i embrace nihilistic truths,
i keep coming to this conclusion, that i just want a "you"
i can fall down hills, and scrape my skin, and even die a bit
but still, i'll always want to be a hit.
i see that it's cheating, how i use these simple words
it's an insult to poetry-- see look, "birds"
but i've got to use this loophole, to get to my own path
because without this sweet discovery, i've got no desire to get past.
moving on'd be nothing to me, without a future to reach
one that meant something to me, so i'd appreciate the breach
of falling to pieces periodically
so much that i don't see freedom as of plausibility
so i'll keep on trying, to use these cheating rhymes
and finding golden linings, between the silver lines
rely on vagueness of beauty, and manipulation of time
to see this world as something not priced a dozen per dime
i'll never think i'm good enough, but maybe some will still think i'm great
at least i can get some love, even if it ain't
i'll pretend that i've been through shit, and hope that i will go
but for now i can only story-tell, and hope that i'll need hope
cause for the time being, life's not too much a thrill
i haven't tasted mischief, i haven't made one kill
but my head's taken me into traps, and maybe that will count
for something, cause for now, i don't how i want to count

We're in Heaven in Hell
A7 D A7 D
A7 D Dm A7
coming back in, from the darkness
trying to save you like i know where i'm going with this
trying to show you the light around us, even if that light is made of fire
don't you know, i've been watching you
don't you feel my shadow on yours
don't you see that God put us on this mountain, to see what i think you don't yet see
don't you feel the water in the air is from the ocean,
the only source of the sea on this landlocked island
Bm C#m D E
Bm C#m D D
but i know, i want to go home, just like, i think, you do
i know you look into the sky and see hell on earth in our heaven
and i now that you might be afraid, well so am i
so don't be afraid
i know that you might be confused, well so am i so don't lose
this illusion of control
don't lose this illusion of control...
so back to what i was saying, when i implied that i was praying
that one night you'll be in my room, and you'll sneak up on me and it won't be too soon
(i wish that one night i'd walk in my room and my surprise would be you)
i wanted you back in my room, again
Bm E C#m D/G
i miss you, i do, and i'm not afraid to say that to you
i'm finally facing my fears, the ones in my heart-closet for years
D E C#m Bm
these fears got nothin' to do with you, but facing them does
D E A7
i wanna say this to your beautiful face because...
D E C#m D
i'm falling for your like a petal in the fall,
D E C#m D
i'm falling for you like some crazy price at the mall
Bm E C#m D
it's not justified, but it's a beautiful, necessary thing

trying to figure out lyrics to this song i recorded almost 3 years ago...
i'm gonna be, honest with you
i'm so glad i'm with you
i'm gonna be... honest with you!
i'm tired, i can't breathe....
watch me down around the bend
watch me show how to show my friends
i've got those things, yes i do....
i've got a world, all on my own,
since i found you...
i just wanna show how i can do it too
i don't want to trust you at all
but i don't like it what the world,
stop spinning, just stop spinning...
stop spinning...
this can't be happening! no...
oh...
i've got this world, come to mine
i don't know to like you in my time
take all my time, take all my schedule
filled with everything you do
i'm so glad i'm with you
i'm gonna be... honest with you!
i'm tired, i can't breathe....
watch me down around the bend
watch me show how to show my friends
i've got those things, yes i do....
i've got a world, all on my own,
since i found you...
i just wanna show how i can do it too
i don't want to trust you at all
but i don't like it what the world,
stop spinning, just stop spinning...
stop spinning...
this can't be happening! no...
oh...
i've got this world, come to mine
i don't know to like you in my time
take all my time, take all my schedule
filled with everything you do
