Appease You
The wind blows and I know

I can’t go on digging roses from your grave
To linger on beyond the beyond
Where the willows weep
And the whirlpools sleep
You’ll find me

All you have to do
Is run away and
Steal yourself from me
Become a mystery to gaze into
You’re so cruel
In all you do
But still I believe
I believe you

So may you come with your own knives
You’ll never take me alive
With all the voice of what is true
Is there nothing I can do?

I believe that dreams are sacred
Take my darkest fears and play them
Like a lullaby
Like a reason why
Like a play of my obsessions
Make me understand the lesson
So I’ll find myself
So I wont be lost again

All that I’m living for
All that I’m dying for
All that I can’t ignore alone at night
All that I’m wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door
My ghosts are gaining on me

Guess I thought I’d have to change the world
To make you see me
To be the one
I could have run forever
But how for would I have come
Without mourning your love

Should it hurt to love you
Should I feel like I do
Should I lock the last open door
My ghosts are gaining on me

The poetry
That comes from the squaring off between
And the circling is worth it
Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit
But I watched them fall away
Mildewed and smoldering
Strangled by our coveting
I’ve done the math enough to know
The dangers of our second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow
And strengthen our communication

I know the pieces fit

You are helpless
You are selfish
You are hollow inside
You are hopeless…

Innocence
Lost along the way
To anywhere or anyone who’ll hold on to you
Innocence
Is hurt again
But is it really worth the pain?

You are helpless
You are selfish
You are hollow inside
You are hopeless
