i read your note and i know just what you want to hear. it hurts less over time, but i’m not getting stronger i just leave pieces behind. i can only fall so many times before i’m broke, unrecognizable. now all i’ve left to give is the piece that still remains. and you bring the pieces back, love it only reconstructs the pain. as time fails to elapse i’m finding you were everything to me. now my future and past are ending tragically the same

there's trouble out there, i have seen it in your face. all the madness it leaves an empty faith in you. the little things can start to take over your life. and i admit they sometimes keep me up at night with you. for you, i'd split the world in two. hold me close, don't leave like the rest. 'cus i spend too much time inside my head. i'm a mess; i'm fragile at best. the heart is only as open as we allow. and mine can't keep up with how i'm aging now. the past is nothing more than visions and ideas. imaginary places, imaginary fears. and i'm way too young to be this bitter sort of man. so wake me up and help me do the best i can for you. for you, i'd split the world in two. hold me close, don't leave like the rest. 'cus i spend too much time inside my head. and i struggle with the words to make amends. when i'm feeling down you've got to keep me close. 'cus i'm way too tough to let my feelings go

you, the wonder of this city. made of limestone, strong and gritty. they came for you with arms and tanks. fired from behind their hidden camps. the war-lit sky, gold and silver. and you wound up deep in the river. a cable bridge stood in your place. before you could return to grace

standing on two feet building walls between you and i is harder than i thought. hold you up to me and tell you how i feel. i let you down when i said i'd hold you up. but i said right from the start. we're just an arms length apart. i mean this when i say to you. that my lungs they breathe and my heart it beats blood into my arms. just enough to reach. you shake me like a thunderstorm. you pull me like a fire alarm. you put me down when you said you'd pick me. i take you with a grain of salt. but you're water so it just dissolves. i should have known by the way you walk and talk and function. but i said right from the start. we're just an arms length apart. i mean this when i say to you. that my lungs they breathe and my heart it beats blood into my arms. just enough to reach

the river burst its banks and made an island of me. a fall of rain mistaken for the coming of the sea. as floating gardens flourish where there once were forest trees. so we're all stretching up on tiptoes for the surface, trying to breathe. will icecaps melt and cover us in snow, four fathoms deep? winter come to keep me warm while i lay down to sleep. or rusty rain to hide my face, give me some relief. my hands are parting, cloudy, in a sky of disbelief. is a rose by any other name still a rose? if you go by any other name, will i still know you? if to be human is to falter, what can perfect ever mean? some nascent thing that man won't give the time or space to breathe. an image of an idea of some insubstantial thing. no search for grandeur in the kitchen when the plates went clattering. just disapproval, wringing hands - 'shrug off those childish things'. is the blackbird still a blackbird if you cannot hear it sing? will they wake once again, at dead of night, all chattering. or leave me like a bear to sleep the long days til the spring? is a rose by any other name still a rose? if you go by any other name, will i still know you? did you hear the word? in the beginning there was nothing more. is a rose by any other name still a rose? if you go by any other name, will i still know you? if you go ahead and change your face, will i still know you? i could go and fuck up everything, but i still know you.

i'll be your puppet. you can tie your string and tug it. i will follow your lead. and when the devil gets us tangled i won't cut myself free, because i never wanna leave. i'm never gonna leave, i need you. just take this this ring. we'll set a date for in the spring to sign in permanent ink to the terms and the conditions for a permanent link. we'll be fearless as our lives combine and find light. if you ever say that you're craving change i will get up and run away with you. and try to to find a better life i will get up and run away with you, i will pack up and run away. oh the king himself can honor me in royal song and the people of the cities can shout, bob! bob! but i am bored if the voice isn't yours. you'll be my puppet. i will pull your strings. you'll love it. we'll play out the best scenes from your favorite romance movies and my epic spy themes. oh you'll never want to leave, because we're such a perfect team, you and me d. we'll have nine kids. they'll learn to sing and strum and pick. the boys will play in a band and they'll write this song to honor us and our tattered tired hands. oh it'll be the best of heaven, earth and hell as we grow through this. so what if i want to move our life? would you get up and run away with me? i know you'd get up and run away with me. and try to find a better life. i know you'd get up and run away with me. you'd pack up and run away. oh the king himself can honor me in royal song and the people of the cities can shout, bob! bob! but i am bored if the voice isn't yours. i know you know this, but i have to let this out! and tell the world through songs and shouts that i am bored if the voice isn't yours

lay your head down next to mine. put your hand inside my hand. we'll be alright. there is nothing left for us to say. we're too weak to fight. there's a shadow creeping in blocking out all the light. there's an elephant. we're so used to him. we're storing books on his back. we don't notice how fast. he's filling up our whole house. we don't talk we don't even shout anymore. if we stay real still we'll be okay. let the dust settle around our bodies. as we decay. there is nothing left for us to throw. resentments gone away. we are waiting for some sort of truth that neither of us will say

fire, all i see. you're burning for me. red skies crashing down above. black holes swallow me, i'm lost and cannot see. save us, lend me the courage of stars
