December 14 Burning IslandsYou burn up every single second Standing still, earning the right to be in every moment No man is an island, so why try to go it all alone? You work from a dangerous place in your mind The whispering winds remind you not to be careless again Swept away only to be brought in by the tides You've survived the waves; the yin & yang of hope and fear that washed over you Shadows can't see past me because I stand before them Blocking the sun from my eyes I see the light bathing everything with intense purpose And I see only what the light wants me to see - Where I want to be Repeat after me I am following in my own footsteps Take me there before day breaks with me in tow With a million grains of sands for each one of my questions I know that falling is not an option You may be invincible, but you're not fearless You're afraid to close your eyes, only to open them to a reality full of whys There's that feeling again, buzzing in the air Who am I now that I'm alone? Am I what I see in the shifting waters or am I what the flames tell me I can be? I've put everything into you with no expectation of ever getting it back You can keep my identity, just let me hold onto my certainty Because I fear that I'll go too far too fast with no compass to guide me And in my desperation for your company I'll call you even with no sign of a signal until my battery gives way Give me an answer, a sign that's true One day I'm going to start a fire that can't be ignored Near and far they'll all see my heart and maybe someone will find a reason to come save me Look out for me MagnetismSome say that marriage is the only war where you get to sleep with the enemy In my mind that just doesn’t sound right, but here in my bed that’s what you look like tonight Turn me on, tick me off, flick off the lights because we don’t seem to see eye to eye tonight But when neither of us can’t stand to sleep alone in the same bed anymore somehow our bodies draw closer and say all the things that we’re just not willing to say Out loud I could say that I love you with ease, but in my silence my love should speak volumes all the same I’m just throwing this in the air and you can leave it on the floor if you feel like The chase should gain intensity the closer you get and not lose steam while she's at arms reach Your persistence should rely on more than just the distance But let’s be real, it’s never her person that you miss It’s her energy, her magnetism that pulls you into her range Sure attraction puts you on the radar but commitment keeps you locked on target So ready, aim and fire while she's still in your sight You can shake your head all you want but some dealings are best handled under the table If you want to keep her in your custody without all the cuffs & media circus court cases make sure that you handle your business in and out of the sheets Excuse me, but excuses have no place in your conversations when she really needs your strength to help her stand straight with her head held high You can’t deny that you’ve denied her of the thing she needs most And that thing would be you if only you had a clue Truth be told there was no mystery until your history of complicating simplicity reared its head Remember when you're thinking of her, that it was you that let her go If you knew all this before, you wouldn't be without her right now So commit this to memory before the night is through And maybe when you awake this time, her absence from your life will have been nothing more than a bad dream December 06 AcheI guess I'm not the fighting kind When my courage takes the back seat to the shadows of doubt in my mind that sweep the world from under me As I swallow my pride and apologize for thinking that I was right to do wrong by your side Passing from one to another, emotions build like clouds ready to release Something heavy rests on my heart and my shoulders were the first to give out I ache when you say my name expressing everything you've felt I collapse at the sound of your name And for all the good it does me, I feel like fighting back the tears These eyes are more honest than I'd ever admit And your memory flows down my face as I think about those days I do love you, just never the way you wanted, when you wanted it When you had your way things were so much easier Who I was and what I knew came to me while I was with you Enough of your time has gone into hiding what I already know you feel But you seem so adamant about holding on to holding it in What's the worry, where's the fire? Don't retire from this relationship I ache when you tell me that I have to trust myself before I can let you in Like the air filling my lungs or pen to paper that makes these thoughts clearly known as line by line becomes more defined Like a countdown to a new year or a sunrise telling us that it's a new day I simply can't stress this anymore We both know where I'm heading The question is will you let me go? There was a time when I could care less about love My pride and privacy couldn’t even begin to consider someone actually needing me for once Some things turn around for the better and I’d like to think that this was one of them When I met you, I felt something different and as I got to know you I became someone different For all the good that losing myself in you does, I just can’t help but to catch myself smiling And in time living with this feeling won't seem so odd December 01 LessonShifting through the possibilities It’s endless, all the ways that we could be good for each other One look from your eyes touches me like no embrace ever could It's obvious; I can see it in your eyes You're taking me apart in your mind, you've got it all figured out All the pieces are in place except when it comes to me Who am I to you? What do I make you want to do? Look and you'll see that I'm the closest to your heart Why do you insist on running on empty when I could fill your every day? At a moments notice I'd find my way to you and that's no secret I can't live without you in my life How did I last so long wanting you like I do? I can't live without you in my life, believe me I've tried You keep living in my head since you won't let me in your heart I want to be more than another nice thought I need to hear you say that you need me too We continue to wait for love even though it’s never on time, but that's alright This isn't the time for games, so please quit testing me I'm sure you could teach me many things, but I'm afraid that I might learn my lesson If you want me in your life all you have to do is say so I can not do it for you; I can not prove that I'm right I might be wrong, but I won't rush to change anything Just give this a chance to set in I'm no stranger to the dangers of falling and I know we're not quite sure what this is But we'd be fools to pass up on this I don't know about you, but I can only walk so far With you is where I want to stay - Turn around and look my way if you feel the same I can't live without you in my life, believe me I've tried |
