Turn me over,
to my own side,
push me over,
my own borderline,
every time this year,
jailers change their tune.
Bleeding heart,
you may be right,
we were born to forfeit this fight,
angel kid, stay low tonight,
kiss the hand that throws the fight.
Sudden Soldier,
just for the day,
left your corner,
broke off from the shade,
bring me down a fire,
shine a card to play.

This World I've Made
04:23

The line dividing sleep from wake can bend and erase,
wide-eyed, I hear my grinding teeth,
I blink entire dreams,
each night the brain races the blood,
I make shadows for me to outrun,
but now all the wires have crossed,
when I wake I can't turn them off,
each scowling killer that haunts my nights,
just stays and watches me all day.
Each day the brain tangles up my mind,
it's too knotted to ever unwind,
and have you sprung from my head,
how am I to know?
I'll run away from this world I've made
of monsters, memory, and shame.
I'll run away from this world I've made,
with voices screaming my name.

It wasn't you
calling out
It was an echo,
Inside my skull
carving my name
chiseling through the bone,
just an echo, a hollow echo.
All my life I've strived
for nothing inside
fortunately light
just like spiderwebs
torn away by the wind.
And all my life I'd light
this attic on fire
trying just to fight away
spiderwebs, all away.
All my life I've strived
for nothing inside
fortunately light
just like spiderwebs
float away on the wind.
Still this sound is drilling through my ear,
and nobody was near
but that was no echo, no hollow echo,
a live spiderweb,
it grows in my head
with gossamer walls,
a personal home
I can live in alone and all away.
All my life I've strived
for nothing inside
fortunately light
just like spiderwebs
torn away by the wind.

Even though there's no light,
Not even when I die,
It's enough, enough for me
Can't even show you my mind,
Don't even know myself,
It's enough, enough for me,
It's enough, enough forever.
Because you,
It's because I know you,
It's because you know me through and through.
And even though I'm silent-eyed,
and even though I'm a wreck sometimes,
I'm enough, enough for you,
I'm enough, enough forever,
Because you,
It's because I love you,
It's because you love me through and through.

The Still Sargasso Sea

I stayed awake my way,
was spending the nights by my side,
for while they sleep like angels,
they wake with crime in their eyes,
so I hid away, in the shade,
a self-made spy.
It's not enough,
I'm filling up a boat,
to float an ocean,
and find a new home,
the currents slow,
dragging through the gulf stream,
the still sargasso sea,
where every reed
makes the song of silent seas,
when played by the high winds,
for uninhabited islands,
a music all for me,
or so it seemed.
One night the sea spit and stung,
my ship split, black water filled my lungs,
and as I sank something fluoresced,
a jellyfish, no, a woman's dress,
and she pulled me up on the sand,
and I confessed:
I don't know if you can really hear me,
and are you near me,
or only in my mind?
But, I'm glad that I'm alive,
to see the color in your eyes,
you look like a sunrise,
but how did you get here?
"Well" she said, "I feared,
with everyone around me,
bloodthirsty and howling,
I sailed away from town,
I'm glad it was you that I found,
you didn't seem a stranger,
and were in terrible danger,
with nobody around,
I grabbed you before you went down.
And now that's through,
and now we've found,
it's better as two,
let's sail back to town.
