I wanted to be honest even though you didn't show
Kept the freezing promise but she'll never even know
I had perfected it, I had erased and added words
You left me where she's standing and it still hurts

she whispers softly i am here
say you're not going anywhere
reassurance tucked behind my ear

streetlights have faded out on cue
while the sunrise fades into view
and one more morning here with you

i see light in your eyes
but
they go dark when you look in mine

star light, star bright, first star i see tonight
i wish i may, i wish i might have the wish i wish tonight
you say, hands together, eyes shut so tight i'm sure it hurts
"your turn" i hear, but i'm stunned and can't think of a single word
you already have my wishes
i wished for dreams to be true
and here you are, in my close hearted arms
i don't need to wish for you

i want to get lost in a world of my own dreams
wheregrass is purple pink and skies are green
blank-stared and waiting for another nuisance to disract with
so people won't notice i'm utterly helpless

time and time again i am proved life is a grain of pepper
pepper and salt and dying asphalt, seeping into the corners of forever
but the speckles sparks know; they sing choruses in my ear
is it really worth doing, though,
if it doesn't make your body ring with fear?

a flicker in the distance
the drop of her hand
path of most resistence
clean, thought out plan

every step with caution
nothing but complex
mess up this concontion
and you'll be next

i find a life that's scared is only fair
you will regret touching her cheek before you kissed her
i find a liar knows when others lie in bed
on the phone, you laughed and said you won't miss her

and now she's fast asleep, who knew?
the moment she crashed onto you
a single tear rolled down her cheek
her body limp; limbs weak

Many times did I tell you to go
Many times did I plead
But how many times did you ask if it was fine
to take something so special from me?
How many girls took their bras home with them?
How many remember what you did?
How many liked their futile objections?
Behind doors and headboard, they were hid.

How many times will remorse cloud your plans;
the ones you've memorized with blatant fun?
How many times has an innocent been calm?
said, quietly, please - just one.

You smoke all night long
And ruin my furniture
But it's quite alright you choose
To ignore my ringing drum
I know you're having your fun
