Eraser

Does it make everything
Blurred, for you to see?
Erasing anything
Drawn from you and me
Because with these fading days
There's unrest in the waves
Flowing from the radio
And they just make me so
Blurred in mind, in vision
And they bring me down
Right down to the collision
Of the broken soul's sound
Yeah, yeah sing it with me
The broken soul's sound is
All that I've found in
Ever silver lined cloud this
Sky has ever offered

Fall To Nothing

Where did it all go
So very wrong, before
We even had a chance
To heal and hope
I'm sorry I couldn't
Save you before we
Got carried away
With every fight
Every hurt we made
I'm sorry

Heavy On Your Conscience

Weighing you down
Like the thousand
Thoughts you made
That you brought
Into this world
With all you said

Lies

I'll tell them for you
Never to you
Find the truth behind them
Never conceal it with them
Lies, lies, lies
What truth defies
Yet still defines
I'll tell them for you though

One More Incomplete Ballad For The Masses

Would you let me come and save you
From this life of solitude
We could catch the next train coming through
And be gone before they even knew
It's a promise I can't swear to not keep
That I'll fly right in to sweep you off your feet

What's Your Corruption

A half pint of you
Mixed in with
Just a dash of
Trouble that
Won't seem worth
It in the morning
But it's my
Poison, shaken
Not stirred, served
On the rocks
Salut

New Score

Hopefully if I
Can hit the keys
Of this piano just right
I'll play you
Into existence
Into my arms
That've been empty
For so long
Too long

We Were

Somewhere where every word
Passed between us stayed
Just like that, between
The two of us, never
To be heard by another
Ear, or so it seemed
To trust you with me
Is to break me in two
One part for you
A small memento
The other for the ground
To receive as it falls
Yeah, oh yeah, just
As it falls

Deluding Myself

V1.

I was sitting in the park
When I first saw her passing by
With a glimmer in her eye
Betraying every tear she'd cried
She swept right by without
So much as a by your leave, and
With that she stole my heart
Gone in an instant, like a summber breeze

Run Till You Drop

To the setting sun
Falling faster
With every step you make
Slipping over the
Horizon

Good Enough

I'll be anything
The first laugh you had
Or the last tear you cry
Just tell me what you need

Cause I'll Run

Thousands of lights
Shining the way
Blinding movement
Binding thoughts
Now only one light
Remains shining away
And I'm caught
In all faulty glory
This is why
When that light burns out
All you'll hear
Is distancing footfall

Surface

Something
Underneath this
Realistic
Face I've
Always worn
Can you notice
Every crack?

Tuned Right

Turn back to the
Same songs that
Drive me back to
Sanity and safety
There's a comfort
In the way each sound
Pulls a different
Heart string into
The place it belongs

You Know It

Everytime they tell you
That nothing's sacred
Nothing is the way it
Should be, what we lost
Along the way to experience
And wisdom, and was
It all worth it?
I'm hoping it will be

Straight From The Playlist

I think I'll lie
With my ear to the floor
And listen to the beats
That reverberate from
My speakers so small
And hope they can
Comfort me in all this
I'm so sick, chasing the
Feeling, dreaming with
A broken heart, and as I
Wait for the rain, the
New divide that spans
The width of my heart,
Day by day I'll look
For the shooting star
That seems so heartless
In its bids to evade me
I won't apologize for
All my false pretenses
But I still hope
You'll miss me when I'm gone

Breaking Trivialities

Emptiness is what
You're left with
When everything
Around that surrounds
And clouds your thoughts
Becomes whitewashed,
Nothing to be seen
You're all alone
With space to hear
Your echo

Time To Make

All these secrets I'm
So desperate to keep
But holding them in is like
Not being able to sleep
It's such a long drive
Back to town in the night
The streetlights are out
And every sound made
Is coming from you and me
Where we're out of sight
We could talk about
Whatever we want, stories trade

Check the clock again
Thirteen o'clock never came
So fast before, so fast

Hey There

When it tickles your fancy
You'll tune your ears to hear me
Fake your deafness more, come on
I dare you to not hear this
Because some bad news came along
And it's all about you, it is
Meanwhile, you ignore what falls
All around, brilliance in the starlight
Can you hear it, as it calls
Out your name, in this silent night

Over Again

Then he wrote another
Yeah, another love song
Which, in itself
Is just another way
Of saying "I miss you"
Like all the other thousands
A bottle of cliches,
Happiness and heartbreak
Sold for a dollar a download
Let's listen to it
Till we're sick and tired
And want to hear it some more
