To be around you
To be in your presence
Is such a gift
The mask can slip
It's no big deal
I can take my time
Running down stairs
To maybe think about
Opening the door
Letting the warm breeze
Of your gentle gaze
Rest on the corner
Of my soul
To be around you
To be in your presence
Is such a gift
The mask can slip
It's no big deal
I can take my time
Running down stairs
To maybe think about
Opening the door
Letting the warm breeze
Of your gentle gaze
Rest on the corner
Of my soul
Coming to the surface to catch my breath
I don't belong here
Where they rest
And see the sun
Corpse floating to the surface
Decomposing flesh
If you reach in
To save me
I'll drag you down with me
Coming to the surface to catch my breath
I don't belong here
Where they rest
And see the sun
Corpse floating to the surface
Decomposing flesh
If you reach in
To save me
I'll drag you down with me
Can't swallow it down
If I don't do something
Soon
You'll see it
See me for what I am
Broken
Rotting
Out of control
Expired
So heavy
Dragging me down
Heart in my throat
Can't catch a breath
Can't catch a break
Can't swallow it down
If I don't do something
Soon
You'll see it
See me for what I am
Broken
Rotting
Out of control
Expired
So heavy
Dragging me down
Heart in my throat
Can't catch a breath
Can't catch a break
Softly
Gently caressing
Heart of the tree
Beats for me, for you
For us
Slow
Steady
Sure
Softly
Gently caressing
Heart of the tree
Beats for me, for you
For us
Slow
Steady
Sure
Each step an impulse
One foot in front of the other
I see the tree in the distance
Your tree, My tree
Our tree
Sunbeams shine down
Illuminate
Giver of life
My spirit wraps
Around the tree
Here, I belong
Each step an impulse
One foot in front of the other
I see the tree in the distance
Your tree, My tree
Our tree
Sunbeams shine down
Illuminate
Giver of life
My spirit wraps
Around the tree
Here, I belong
As I learn over time
I'm no safer alone
Than with the people outside
As I learn over time
I'm no safer alone
Than with the people outside
It's lasted for years
Winter is coming
It's already here
How long must I wait
In this dark, dark cave
Burning and burning
Birthed again and again
Will I ever be strong
Strong to roll away the stone
The stone of my creation
To keep safe, alone
It's lasted for years
Winter is coming
It's already here
How long must I wait
In this dark, dark cave
Burning and burning
Birthed again and again
Will I ever be strong
Strong to roll away the stone
The stone of my creation
To keep safe, alone
The Foundation
Long Cracked
Is Opening Wide
But in that space
Light is Reaching Ground
Hidden for the Last 500 Years
And Soon Green Shoots will Rise

into the pit
the hole
the vacuum
scrambling
for a ledge
a vine
something
to hold onto
but there is nothing
where you once were
you left
and disarmed
my sense of self
can't count on you
can't count on me
and I can't stop
this cyclone within
I don't even know
where to begin

Just what I could give you
Is it my fault
For not letting you in?
How could you love
What you didn't know
Was there

Love
All love
Sigh of contentment
So sweet
All sweet
Velvet nose
Wow
How special
Radiating
Golden Light
Wash away the day
How could I be so lucky?
Kiss your soft
Warm
Furry little paw
Bliss
Do cats burp?

The alreadys
The been theres
No surprises
But that's also the sad part
Decomposing
Stirred in the compost
To grow something new
Maybe better
Hopefully better

The more I am stuck
I can't outrun
There is no escape
They're always with me
The only control I have is
Changing perspective
Perception
Shape shifting
Maybe it's not so scary
If a good thing is pursuing me
The more I am stuck
I can't outrun
There is no escape
They're always with me
The only control I have is

staring at the sun
Melting my defenses
Already undone
Vessel running over
Radiating golden warmth
Floating through the doorway
Stoking fires in the hearth
Intertwining streams
Vibrant orange, calming blue
Is it my imagination?
Could it all be coming true?

In my glory and gore
You take it all in
Leaving room for more
You tell me your feelings
No need to ask why
You show me through actions
You see all my sides
I'll seek you out one day, but only if
Dreams do come true and you're more than a myth

You'd journey through anything
Walk right into hell
You think that I'm worthy
Believe it, no doubt
Take care of my needs, couldn't put me down
You'd journey through anything
Walk right into hell
You think that I'm worthy
Believe it, no doubt
Take care of my needs, couldn't put me down
The way you look at me- honeysuckle on the breeze
When my tears and my feelings escape their cracked jars
Run through gentle fingers to land on your heart
The way you look at me- honeysuckle on the breeze
When my tears and my feelings escape their cracked jars
Run through gentle fingers to land on your heart
Make sure you can't hurt me
More than I can hurt myself
You don't want to
Get too close anyway
Right?
My fear is gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
Make sure you can't hurt me
More than I can hurt myself
You don't want to
Get too close anyway
Right?
My fear is gonna kill me
If I don't kill me first
Please don't wake me up
Trust me to tell you when I've had enough
It's just a little bite
Please don't turn me in
I'll never forgive myself for showing weakness
Please don't wake me up
Trust me to tell you when I've had enough
It's just a little bite
Please don't turn me in
I'll never forgive myself for showing weakness
I'm not scared of it when I'm already in hell
It's hard to remember those moments that are worth it
Until they come around then the guilt starts to set in

Numbness that eats me and leaves me to rot
When I feel it all and nothing at once
It's impossible to decide what I want
