A Letter 03:26
The letters you have sent me, Have only just arrived And now I am reminded of when you were alive This weight in my chest falls once more, With the parcel that fate had placed at my door, It reads: 'You've captured my heart, and I miss you so much. I wish there was a way, we could only just touch. You were in my dream last night, and you told me this; That "the past and the future meet in a kiss, Where two eternities lock, where we co-exist Where hope has been enveloped in a deep dull mist" Through the glass the world is blank and stopped, the bell jar has consumed me, the bell jar has dropped.' Hope are you there? I feel you around me. You are in the air that I breathe, and the ocean consumes me. I have been lost for years, since you have left, and I wish I could have followed in your last breath. I was selfish and I let you leave, Without acknowledging, my heart you have weaved, I hope that one day you can only forgive, Because now, without you, it is hard to live. Hope are you there? I feel you around me. You are in the air that I breathe, and the ocean consumes me. I have been lost for years, since you have left, and I wish I could have followed in your last breath. The bell jar has dropped.

Outlooks 03:56
I used to be convinced I knew it all In a world that's only meant for the same I used to think it was all in my head But there's two sides to me, and one's always dead I play those games, I'd play that song Waiting for someone to just come along And show everyone's not like me Stuck on a train that no one can see No one can see... It hurts to know, hurts to know everyone changes And secretly judges like me It hurts to know time waits for no one Moving to the rythym we march to the end I'm falling for no one I believe in nothing No hopes, No dreams Leaves me lost at sea Lost at sea... Until the day I found the one thing, Until the day I found the one thing that means something to me Until the day I found another soul on this train (I'm falling for no one, I believe in nothing No hopes, no dreams, leaves me lost at sea) Maybe it's time to change course And her name is Hope

Revival 04:56
The truth within these walls Gave me security Until my mind created An imprisoned autonomy As the gates slam shut behind me The world opens up and swallows me whole But I'll never look away Until in death I find my home But these walls are white, And never offered any light on this situation There's a solar eclipse that's cast a shadow Am I the only one who knows? The light, The light is shining through But I don't understand... There's a solar eclipse that's cast a shadow Am I the only one who knows? I'm lost in my head And I'll never say Give me reality Cause reality is nothing to me In dreams I lay But I can't stay here She calls my name And I hear... Wake up, Wake up, You've been down for to long Floating in and out of sanity Losing yourself in a black sea Wake up, Wake up, You've been in your mind for to long If you want this pain to end You'll face the demons inside your head I hear, I hear Wake up, wake up I'll redeem what I have lost It's all I have And I'll never say Give me reality Cause reality is nothing to me In dreams I lay But I can't stay here She calls my name And I hear... Looking back There was always A rose in the dirt A light in the dark You gave up your life to keep me alive So I've come to know, Not all angels need to show their halos And I'll never say Give me reality Cause reality is nothing to me In dreams I lay But I can't stay here She calls my name And I hear...

Let go, you can't do this on your own They're speaking lies in every tone, that we speak Far from something we have once known This place seems so close to home, yet so far away Let's get out of here Back to the heart of the life we've left behind Never look back Only forward but remember the times we've had Looking back on everything The truth lies on every wing that we float on How could you sleep at night knowing That you won't wake up Let's get out of here Back to the heart of the life we've left behind Never look back Only forward but remember the times we've had Let go (You can't do this on your own) Let's get out of here Back to the heart of the life we've left behind Never look back Only forward but remember the times we've had

Broken your eyes, Stare back at you But this mirror wasn't made for one You know that when they're here Cause distance Is damage And these words I can’t speak Don’t fade away Trust me I know Things are changing And I know That I'll never fade from you Second retake You’re nervous now The longer you wait you know that they'll Grow farther away Cause distance Is damage And these words I can’t speak Don’t fade away Trust me I know Things are changing And I know That I'll never fade from you So forget the sunset (It still looks faint to me) We don't need anything Just promise me I won’t walk alone I would sing about our love But it would hurt too much Cause new love is gained Only at someone’s loss I believe in you (This still looks faint to me) I believe in you (This still looks faint to me) But I can't sing about this love When all I know is the sun will set And I can't sing about this love When all I know is what we were

She sits alone by the fire While I stare blankly in the mirror She’s sewing the sail, while I’m breaking the boat And I don’t know, I just don’t know And all I know is what I feel... All I know, Is what I feel And all I feel is starring back at me I can't keep lieing to myself anymore I can't keep pretending She sits alone by the fire While I stare blankly in the mirror She’s sewing the sail, while I’m breaking the boat And I don’t know, I just don’t know She sits alone by the fire While I stare blankly in the mirror She’s sewing the sail, while I’m breaking the boat And I’m failing, falling, and dying cause Oceans are wide And I don’t know if I can do this Separation has never done its part In building a chain Cause it’s so tangible This love, is it something we can rely on? We know all the stories of Deceit and Lust, This structure will fall Or is it strong enough I closed so many roads To end the pain and loss But I’ve never been so honest before Just the thought of you walking out the door Should I speak my mind or with my heart? Cause I can't tell the difference anymore They began to co-exist It was all so easy Instead of miles, it was short walks apart But how do I even start? Who knew we would come this far? To be placed even farther You’re my world, And I won't let The horizon take you from me now No, these stitches you’ve sewn me I’ll never forget Cause these stitches are a symbol, Of how you saved me So If you go, And I stay Promise you'll remember me Cause ill always remeber…

I never learned to apologize But it’s no worse then your apathetic lies Your plan hasn’t been slowed down yet But the worst is yet to come Can’t you see this? Can’t you feel this? All falling away with every day that goes by Why do the blind the lead the blind Of bad intentions, your eyes are tunnel visioned If only you could see the world through my eyes Only hearing the words that you want to hear You can’t predict this coming So silence the sea, With your thoughts and reason But natures unpredictable Much like me Like me… Silence… You’ll never know… Analyzing and Criticizing The strongest of opinions hold the weakest of hearts So I move my pawn and wait for hours To finally hear you agree, “Check Mate” Of bad intentions, your eyes are tunnel visioned If only you could see the world through my eyes Only hearing the words that you want to hear You can’t predict this coming So silence the sea, With your thoughts and reason But natures unpredictable Much like me I’m unpredicting, always changing My intentions, just like you You’ll never know, you see right through me You’ll never know, I know more than you Silence what you can’t keep quiet You mean less and less to me

My eyes are weary, From staring through mirrors Searching my remains Of an old changed face Trying to recall What I left and why What have I done? Oh what have I done Carry us on Take all the weight From Miles to minutes From the shore to this Shipwreck of Drowned out thoughts That fall and crash Like waves on me I’m cold, and getting colder Sinking in the sea I’m numb from the distance The guilt is killing me If these letters Are all we have I’ll keep on writing Till the ink runs dry Cause I’m a wreck, As I walk these streets alone Beneath the lights that guide me home I realize that this home is unknown to me Carry us on Take all this weight From Miles to minutes From the shore to this Shipwreck of Drowned out thoughts That fall and crash Like waves on me Cause I never knew the dagger distance held Until it took my heart and sold it to the waves So far from the shoreline that I no longer wanted to know If I could survive without you So I’m coming home to you I’m coming home for you I didn’t know, never knew you Sold your heart to the depths of blue To an anchor that tore you apart Oh, It tore me apart But I believe, our hearts were much stronger And found the currents to navigate The oceans that split us in to They split us in two for the last time I didn't know never knew you...sold you heart too I'm coming home to you
9.
Dear Hope, I promise that I'll Hold my own, don't let us part again Cause the conflict aroused Beckoned me to fall into the sea Like passion cut short The fire spreads Growing and feeding on us Drawing the air out of everything Tell me there's another way The water's so tempting Tell me there's another way Tell me there's another way Breathe in slowly I'm right here The more you know about this world The angrier you'll become So don't believe the words But stay true to what’s at heart Don't confuse fate with reason Don't let anything destroy our Hope Cause it's all we have left... The clouds we walk are ever-changing Until we find how simple it is

You returned to me so weak, This radiation you kept now shows And I can’t believe I never knew the pain you held And I can’t believe I never knew while you were gone away Breathe out candle Breathe into me, And I will never forget The color that left your body And I will never take anyone, or anything for granted again We’re so fragile, Breathe out candle, Breathe into me We’re so fragile When will I loose my own? So breathe out candle When will I loose my own? Hold on, just a little longer to me I can’t find your heartbeat Now I can’t find your heartbeat…

In Memory 06:18
They say the wind makes you turn when a moment suspends in time, You see their pictures a memories affliction The frames share the borders to another story... These pages remain unwritten, ink less But bound still tight by past powers Like the fall of Rome denial saved me The best it could for only so long So ill keep pretending And you'll keep explaining Maybe it's time to finally let go Of everything that reminds me of this... Reminds me of... Gravity, working in reverse Seasons back when the leaves were changing It's so beautiful, but something was missing As a hole filled my chest and my lungs caved in From the pure weight of my heart falling six feet back up So ill keep pretending and you'll keep explaining My head is spinning round and round me I’m loosing grip on what’s real And what’s a dream or false to me So if heavens not real let me die in my sleep So I can live in my dreams next to you Because the sky has never held so much color Since these years passed without you The sky now holds so much more then Average night tales, shooting stars, And all the dreams now lost forever Forgive me cause I'm Slowly drowning without you with me Slowly drowning without you with me

I am the beginning and the end The first and the last The Alpha And The Omega

The Bell Jar 08:03
Where are you? I'm losing sight in myself All these lights are reflecting Going through pyramids, Distorting all colors now They're tricking me with their shadows, They're tricking me with their shadows. I always saw this coming But refused to take notice That my solitude is a prescribed drug That feeds my addiction It makes the shadows, resemble exacatly what I'm missing It's not what I want, but It's what I need And it's always the same thing. It's been two years since the end And I can't feel anything at all now It's like a faulting nervous system I touch but can't feel at all They're morphing and changing I can't help to feel your speaking to me Are you speaking to me? They're morphing and changing They're more distinct and I can Swear it's your shadow Speak to me, Speak to me I can't feel at all. These thoughts, are the echo of a voice I should hear But they dance in the headlights I can hear your voice searching for something, I'm searching for something myself Cause I'm lost, God I'm so lost My eyes are backwards and my mind is dark As the rain that fell that night Behind black shades, In the form of tears above your gravestone All my fears hit me in that instant As the blank faces around reflected myself like a mirror showing every drought-like crack, Cause her body was taken away And that same day I parted my own Now I can't find the spark to this life, No I can't find a reason to live No reason, I can't find meaning in anything I can't find reason in anyone I can't find meaning, I can't find reason The bell jar's falling on me. Dear hope, Can you hear me? Dear hope, Can you hear me? You me me in my sorrow and redeemed all I had left Until the sea separated everything like the sunsets in our heads But the cancer in your chest refused the blood to reach your heart And not a single day goes by I don't completely fall apart I'm alone Black thoughts, my mind was plagued By the only light I knew, Spilling out of me in so many colors I never had a chance To calculate the rate of my sanity failing me day by day So hope I call you one last time To give me a sign or the end is mine Breathe in slowly I'm right here
