Say we make it a fair game.
I'll give you my heart as handicap
And then we'll be equal,
I really don't mind.

You'll have the first round.
Since you are scared of being hurt,
I'll give you the first shot.
I wouldn't dodge.

Say I close my eyes.
I'll be blind to your flaws
And ignore your weaknesses,
I'll suppress my senses

You don't have to play fair,
The rules be damned.
Cuts and corners, cheat if you want.
I'll be your game.

This time you can be the player,
I'll gladly be your pawn.
Cause the winner takes it all,
The loser is hers to keep.

-

Sometimes in the fall,
When twigs fail and winter blooms.
Like a lonely squall,
My soul rages with yearning for you.
In turbulent nights, when feelings blight.
When desperate hopes, my heart ignites
I douse these flames in broken shales
And sometimes in rum and ale.

-

I tolerate the silence noise brings.
The Anonymity of a million voices
Like a cloak it shrouds my existence.
I tolerate noise In the silence
In the confinements of my head
A million thoughts longing to be heard
I tolerate them all, cause I'm just like that
The antithesis to myself.

A little sailor stood at the shore
with his little yellow raft.
The ocean stretched on for miles,
frightening and blue.
It called for him,
luring him onto its waters
But he feared the deep,
the vast blue thats never ends.
He dreaded the cold,
the raging wind that never calm
But as he waited the storm,
he resolve began to die.
So he stood by the shore
with his little yellow raft,
testing the waters.
And he never sailed.

-

Head pounding,
Brain splitting.
Bladder bursts,
Liver bleeding.
The Sequel, the aftermath.
The stinging re-coil of a foolish path.
Brain burst, Bladder bleeding.
Regrets still keeps on singing

-

Maybe it's the way you hum in the distance, the rhythmic creaking of your blades.
Maybe it's the warmth of your touch, and how I snuggle into these sheets.
Maybe the reason I turn you on is because we're both cold and lonely.
Maybe.
But this I know,
With you, my dreams are pleasant.

-

Was it love if I couldn't say the words?
To say I love you and are my world.
I liked you a lot, you lived in my every thought
But I couldn't tell you, so it just wasn't love.

Is it important to say I'm in love with you?
My feelings should have been enough
But just like the petals on that garland
My feelings too were in vain.

Charlie would make you happy
He'd give you the world
But I too would have made you happy
I would have made you my world

I smile and pretend that I'm happy for you
All the while I die little more inside
But I'd still move mountains for you
Even though you belong to someone else

How can I explain why I love you?
Or just how much it hurts
I couldn't even if I tried.
My eyes sing the emotions of my heart.
Why can't you understand my feelings?

-

Cause I couldn't bring myself to
let you know how much I missed you
In your absence I realized that I need you
But if I tried again my heart wouldn't
make it out alive

Despite how much it hurts when I think
about it and all pain that you caused,
All I wanted was to get to you,
I couldn't wait for you to come crawling back
I had to hold in my arms, Even if for just another day

Although my head told me
I should be careful
And all the signs pointed
I should be fearful
I still went in
And now I know I should have heeded all the warnings
Cause now I'm falling in and I'm gonna be in trouble.

-

Hold a torch for me in your heart
I'll never be away
The flames would call out to me
Wherever I am
It's limbs would reach for me

Think of me and I'll be there
To hold you close
You'll never be alone
Your love is the beacon
That guides me home
