feel like
everything that is good doesn’t have to end
and loosing your way is a chance at something new
timing is an advantage over selling out yourself
history is proof of what you’ve done in error
i know this sounds crazy, but i’m interested in you
tell me, does it sound like something you could do
spend some time with all the memories we’ve made
count the stars back to the day you swept me away
all that i am now is solely compliments of you
for you complete the part of me that no one ever knew
to escape is nothing more than hiding from the clock
every breath that’s savored is a breath that’s not forgotten
melody’s the cure for any heart that’s fallen ill
challenges are pawns to slow you down when your in line
so never stop
and never sell our secrets short
never feed the well
with wishes for what is here
Some things are better left unsaid
just like some rules are made to break and bend
our hearts linger on this moment
waiting for a sign of explanation
for what we’ve all done wrong
for what we’ve done is all so wrong
keeping secrets is keeping us alive
and telling lies are what we are inside
i know i’ve said how were built to break
by design there’s nothing more to take
and we’re on our way down
we’re on our way back down
i wish that we were so much more
than these flaws that we choose to ignore
my open heart, tends to open doors
a closed mind washes sunken ships ashore
take the signs for another grain of sand
Lay awake still dreaming of her hand
upon your face so that it
blocks away the likes of reality
As the words dance upon my tongue
i bite my lip to save the taste
i paint you red as your absence instills
my fever, the shaking, your innocent face
your hands are attached to strings
your mouth is controlled by words we speak
allow me to be your pilot
allow me to act in your masterpiece
and as i suffer, i dare not breathe
i dare not fall from bliss
and loose my sanity
we play these games and marvel
over our empty lines
filled with charms and poison
a built-to-break design
you hover flirtatious smiles
and challenge the bond bestowed
i never believed in serpents
until this tempting secret showed
and as i suffer, i dare not breathe
i dare not fall from bliss
and loose my sanity
and as you find yourself caught
between this and misery
you loose your patient footsteps
and loose who you used to be
“Just keep waiting.
Waiting for what? I’m not even sure what I’m waiting for anymore. A sign of what’s pure and true? A lesson: behave and become what you’re looking for. Ignore what’s been written and your no longer attached to it.
Am I lost, have I yet to be found? I have tried all that’s left, do even make a sound? When I’m showing my heart and my patience’s abound, my screaming is sharp and my faith has drowned.
Give me anything to pick up and believe that promises are golden and friends are real. I’ll find another place to hide and bury my patience with everything else inside.
I’ll still love the sound of her voice, the comfort she gives. She provides the absence with the truest of authentecy, and reads my dreams like a book.
The end of this journey never seems near, yet the voices remain and the visions too clear.”
-Christopher Blake “What’s in My Head?”
