Underneath A Tie​-​Dye Sky

You said gracefully, please remember me, And then you turned and ran ahead. I yelled, "wait and see, you know you love me", Bombs were bursting in my head. What could I have done? I knew I was wrong, I didnt want to face the fact. I directed you, and neglected you, With a fissure down my back. There's no turn around from this point on, No right to find in all this wrong, Every broken promise crossed a line, Every holy moment fades in time. Now I'm on my own, it's no surprise I know, I've never been more self aware. Keep a level mind, try to love all you find, Make amends with yourself, if you dare.

You may turn your back and go. You may tell me straight up, the answer is no. Don't say maybe. A spark may catch, a flame may burn. A chance may reward the chance you deserve. Don't say maybe. A myriad of possibility. In light of many opportunities. It's liable to be something you need. It may even set you free. Within a few breaths, decide what is best. Sharpen your mind and sort out the rest. Indecision plants a seed of misery you mustn't sow it. Make your choice with certain pinpoint razor focus. There and then and here and now, where and when we go. In present moments we reside, the past and future flow. Don't say maybe.

Simple Song 02:54
I'd like you to know that what I say is true. Sometimes my words make light of large issues, So I wrote a simple song to say I love you. Oftentimes I find no words in me. It may not always be so plain to see. So I wrote a simple song to say I love you. I wrote a simple song to say I love you.

A search for warmth yielded flame. A broken promise, buried under shame. I'll shoulder what is true, though eventually I'll crumble, and pummel myself, stumbling back to you. I tripped without a clue, into a permeation of pure contrition, down in front of you. I believe in lieu of me that you will reach your destiny. That all you hope and all you dream will one day be achieved. Drenched in regret, lost in the wake of all thats left. An anvil in my chest, a silent burden I wont soon forget. Everything I do is going to feel a little different without you, and there's not much I can do, to make you see that, Every little thing I do is going to feel so different without you, and there not much I can do.

You've got me heavy in my breathing. You've got me tripping on my feelings. Quick flush we blush and exchange glances. Caught up we rush and miss our chances. We've only ourselves to blame. She combed her hair, stared in the mirror. Pictured him being so much nearer. He dreamed of all the love he'd send her, on cool damp evenings in November. Their spark is now a flame. You've got me heavy in my breathing.

Strange emotions pulse within me. Oddly staring I'm frozen in my place. Strange emotions tangle my mind. Split decision, running out of time. Don't keep it to yourself, tell somebody else. Strange emotions twist within me. Paralyzing every choice I make. Every mistake. Strange emotions rip right through me. Hypnotizing moments all alone. Don't keep it to yourself, tell somebody else. Don't keep it to yourself, anymore.
7.
Heaven knows I'm not angelic. Fighting my demons everyday The story goes, search for glory, or just start to fade away. Drifting along in solemn sorrow. A drop of rain within a cloud. I am nothing I am nowhere. A figure traced into a crowd. Something comes from nothing just as nothing comes from something, in the background of the choices that I make. I'll simplify the reason and then exorcise the demon, in the foreground of the risk I'm going to take. Void, don't tempt me. I am plenty.

Dirty mirror
Foggy mind
Moving closer
Far behind
Never knowing
Wonder why...
