I feel like a ghost--
Faker than most . . .
Do you remember who I am?
The world was much smaller then,
The tears in your eyes aren't pretend,
Have I been a fair-weather friend?
I feel like a ghost,
Faker than most,
I hope that you know,
It comes and it goes--I miss you so . . .
But you don't remember who I am,
You felt much stronger then,
Holes in your soul don't quite mend,
But the truth in your heart--you can bend
Now I don't remember who I am,
But I felt much happier then,
Stars are my home--I pretend,
Nighttime's my fair-weather friend
I feel like a ghost,
Faker than most,
I hope that you'll know,
When it comes and it goes--I'll miss you so . . .
. . . You?
C6,
Is where we all go,
When our hearts die,
Is when our love grows,
I want to go home,
And I don't want to be alone
. . . Who?
The ghosts up above--they can howl all they want,
'Cause the heart that they lack is the heart that you've got,
They've been screeching for years just to make you believe,
But believing in fear is not believing in me
The gods up above--they can bitch all they want,
'Cause the love that they lack is the love that we've got,
They've been preaching for years just to make you believe,
But believing in ghosts--it won't save you from me
We're realer than those . . .
Love terrifies both . . .
I hope that you know . . .
I'm no fucking ghost--I love you so much.

we move,
in circles,
and we lose,
because we have to
and what to do,
with these holes in you...
you move me,
like the movies,
you sleep through,
when it's me and it's you,
the whole night through,
while i'm watching you
and these tubes,
you breathe through...
keep me and you,
a little longer by you,
a little stronger for you,
and the whole night through
i'll watch over you

Sky burns a hole in her hands,
An off-tilt smile lifts constant whirlwind,
And I find it easy to pretend,
Because I love the wind
And are we fooled?
By her beautiful Rain (Reign)
Sky Lips,
Sky Lips,
Sky Lips,
Sky Lips,
Sky Lips,
Sky
Dawn holds a girl in her hands,
Ignite past night,
You're constant romance,
And I'll see no reason to pretend,
Because I know who I am
Patience
And are we fooled?
By her beautiful Grace (Greys)
Sky Lips,
I'm wireless,
And free
Sky Lips,
If it's part of you,
Then it's part of me
Oh,
I'm so so/sold,
On the idea,
Of you being freed
Sky Lips,
I am wireless,
And free

nightlight tonight,
oh pretty please?
starlight that hides,
under your wing
tomorrow we try,
be all we can be,
i think i would like,
your light beside me
light up the night for me,
where have i gone wrong?
why can i not see?
light up the world for me,
oh Nightlight Kid,
keep the night bright please
nightlight tonight,
and all that you bring,
i know that i hide,
from what you don't see
daylight's a fight,
when you're just a dream,
i know that you try,
and keep the darkness from me
light up the sky,
why does it take so long?
for you and i
light up the world for me,
why does it take so long?
just to fall asleep
light up so bright for me,
oh Nightlight Kid,
keep the night bright please
light up inside for me,
oh Nightlight Kid...
keep the dark from me.

(take me home)
"strength to borrow
love, fear, and sorrow
will you still be there?
today
tomorrow
the straight and narrow
steel, blood, and marrow
will you still be there?
my hope
and arrow
you are not alone"

Do you feel?
Any less in here,
'Cause when you're real,
You disappear
You can crawl your way out,
About any day now,
Have you been without?
A friend,
Again
Do you feel?
Any lesson here,
'Cause when you're real,
You disappear
Or you can claw your way out,
Well any day now,
Have you been without?
A friend,
Again
But she seems to take pleasure in this,
Noise,
But she seems to take pleasure in this,
Boy
. . .
Steadfast--
I'm basic,
A hole within a part,
Within a whole
Tear up,
It's tragic,
And more a part of me,
Than you could ever know
Steadfast--
I'm basic,
A whole within a part,
Within a hole
Tear up,
It's fucking magic,
And more a part of you,
Than I will ever know.

Come find me, (it's supposed to make you feel better)
Now won't you please, (and maybe this time)
Sing your song for me, (feel again)

please,
set this poem on fire,
the bleed,
is hopeless from your eyes
if we,
could just climb a little higher,
would we be given up?
would we feel less alive?
with broken wings,
and broken hearts,
you broke your things,
and i broke my arms,
'cause with broken feeling,
comes Broken Art,
from your breaking end,
to your broken start...
please set this poem on fire,
to see sights hopeless from your eyes,
if we could just shine a little brighter,
would we be good enough?
would we feel less alive?
with broken hunger,
come broken thirst,
with broken buildings,
and broken worth,
your broken children,
get broken worst,
you've broken meaning,
and you've broken hurt...
oh no,
everywhere i go,
anytime you know,
sell it again,
out again,
out again...
when you're ready,
come inside,
it's intolerable,
but you won't mind
so when you're ready,
climb up high,
'cause you're the collectible
...that i can't find

Come what may,
'Cause they are everywhere,
Inside of me
And please,
Don't stay,
'Cause you are more to me,
Than I'll ever weigh down tonight
My luck,
You seem to fly,
With beautiful lips,
And beautiful eyes
My luck,
It seems to die,
With beautiful lips,
And beautiful height
Come what may.

Lullaby:
"Her light's bleeding,
From her eyes,
Onto the floor,
Where I adored you before
You were seeping,
In through the cracks,
Into the spaces,
You don't get back,
When you've gone away
And this place,
Ruins flowers for me,
And you don't care,
But they are everywhere I go
Could you please,
Slow it down for me,
'Cause you're everywhere,
And anywhere I go
Did you expect me to say?
That you were everything?
That I never felt this way until I met you?
Well it's a lie and you know,
As lies often go,
We never say how we feel until it's much too late
Maybe all you need is,
A Generic Love Song,
Baby,
So you can think,
Clearly,
A Generic Love Song,
Baby,
For you and for me,
So we can be
Totally free
So I'll ask you why,
You left us alive,
Can't you hear them cry?
Every Goddamned night?
Until I come in,
And beg you to stop,
But you're yelling and you're yelling,
And you're yelling and you won't--
And you're yelling and you're yelling,
Now I'm yelling and we're yelling,
It's always yelling always yelling,
This yelling and this yelling,
And you won't
Expect me to say,
That you were everything,
That I never felt this way until I met you
It's true and you know,
As truth often goes,
We never say how we feel until it's much too late
Well maybe all you need is,
A Generic Love Song,
Baby,
So you can think,
Clearly,
A Generic Love Song,
Baby,
For you and for me,
So we can be
Totally free."

hey
is that you
by the window
shining through
but wait
it's all you do
can't count on him no
to follow through
angel is falling down
she needs your help right now
i can't swim in the sound
that you all scream so loud
angel is freaking out
'cause her god's a fucking clown
my faith's been burning out
since i stopped looking down
hey
i think it's you
outside my window
breaking through
but wait
it's all so new
where did the wind go
and where did you
angels are falling down
can't get to sleep right now
'cause your heart's been crying out
without making a sound
angels are drowning out
your gods have put you down
i hope they lose their crown
and hit the fucking ground
hey
i know it's you
step back from the window
and hold onto
