Mortals

The fragility of mortals
The delicacy that is their lives
Invincible one second
Then gone without a trace 
My heart beats faster
It's too soon each time
Nothing more than flies
But I love you too much  
Are morals bigger than mortals?
But I hate what I leave behind
Full mouths, empty pockets
Full egos, empty spirits
Full buildings, empty homes

A love song

I want to write a love song
A little more than I ever felt
A little less than eternity
But love is what love does

A story about someone falling in love
Falling for the first time
Falling for the last time
Not because they don’t want to
But because they can’t help it
Not even if they tried

A song for the lonely hearts
The ones who wander alone
The ones who are alone despite
Perfectly perfect partners
Looking for strangers who see
The mess that makes them perfect

I want to write a love song
A little more than I ever felt
A little less than eternity
But love is what love does

if you never knew before

The smile of your lips eclipse the honesty in your eyes 
I’m sorry it took me so long to finally see
I promise I couldn’t tell the truth behind
But there’s strength in the tremble 
that your lips seem to be holding back
There’s a storm that’s forcing its way
Hoping your courage has a tiny crack
I forget to see you’re struggling sometimes
To wake up to a yet another new day
To will yourself to hold it back in
To not break down each time you just can’t
And spill out the secret demons for all to see
I know you want to save me from the pain
I know you want to hide the weakness
That you’re struggling to carry alone
But maybe you’re not aware, too scared to believe
But I promise I’ll prove every single day
That I’d move a thousand mountains
I’d go to ends of the earth and more
To be the person that you need
To make things a little better
Even if it’s only a little
Even if it’s only a bit

your attention

She walks around the house
Like a ghost lurking about
May seem a bit scary but
She just wants your attention

She makes no sense most times
A disconnect when she does
But to anyone who’s willing to hear
She would love your attention

She carries a deep sadness with her
Surrounding her soul, in her eyes
She feels guilty that she’s so sad
Guilty that she needs your attention

If you could just give her a little bit
Maybe your time, a smidge of your heart
You could see her sparkle and shine
Once you give her your attention

The rebels are coming

The walls are breaking down in a way never before
The rebels are out in the streets and you can’t ignore
All you might see are broken bones and smoky streets
But all I see are beating hearts in cages of steel

The gates are opening up, never to close
The rebels are coming out armed with weapons
Umbrellas, face paint and strong lungs
Rainbow colored flags in hands of thousands

The door to acquiescence is finally shut
The rebels are saying things unheard of
They say their differences are not handcuffs
And they seem to have heard enough

The rebels won’t stop without a fight
The rebels won’t stop till they find
The freedom they’re looking for
The rebels can’t stop without a fight
The revels can’t stop till they find
The love that should be theirs

No matter what you do

They’ll hate when you’re not yourself
They’ll hate when you’re any different
They’ll hate when you’re not trying enough
They’ll hate when you’re on the mend

They’ll hate you no matter what you do
They’re looking too hard from their glass castles
Waiting for you to do anything they wish to do
They’ll hate you no matter what you do

They’ll hate when you dream of finding love
They’ll hate when you want to be on your own
They’ll hate when you seem more strong, less meek
They’ll hate when you step out of your homes

They’ll hate you no matter what you do
They’re looking too hard from their glass castles
Waiting for you to do anything they wish to do
They’ll hate you no matter what you do

If it makes you makes you sleep at night
If it makes you feel a bit better too
You’re not the only one they hate
They can’t help it and neither can you

They’ll hate you no matter what you do
They’re looking too hard from their glass castles
Waiting for you to do anything they wish to do
They’ll hate you no matter what you do

It was time

Like a rock by the river
Just a foot from the riverbank
Her life passing her by
Without ever participating
Her pages nothing but blank

She waits for the signs
Neither a four-leaved clover
Nor a shooting star
Nor a harmony of heavenly trumpets
Could ever convince her
That it was finally time

She’s been waiting for so long
And it’s getting too late
She knows she’s stalling
And waiting means nothing
But she’s just so scared

Wild Eyes

Never thought I’d meet someone
Someone like you
Someone like me
I need a minute, maybe two

Halfhearted has been enough before
Heart out my mouth
Right into my hands
All my well-laid plans rushing south

I’ve been in safe arms for so long
But your wild eyes
Give me stupid ideas
Jump into arms already occupied

Maybe you are a few years too late
Or a lifetime too early
Maybe you are on time
For someone that cannot be me
