Buying Time

A single thought to sum this feeling
I can't define
The permanence is left here for you
I hope you'll find
It is adequate and carefully crafted
'cus you were on my mind with every line
But if it's not enough speak up
Speak up
I take my time and let it open wide
To find the heartbeat glowing
Traverse divides in search of something else
I guess it makes me feel alive
I need you, you need me
Hear our pulse in beat
The subtlety speaks so clearly
At least we meet
I've been building this up for this very moment
Buy the time to look inside
I hear you. Can you hear me?
Hear me

Back Home

After all this time
We can't say it's how we thought that it would be
Here we are face to face
Suffered scars on the way
Back home to seek starting brand new
I never meant to hurt you
Despite all that I've done
Circumstances could've been different
There's no going back
The funny thing is
I thought I didn't need to treat you well
My bags were packed. I was ready to run
I couldn't walk away
It only took a moment
For you to bring me to my knees
Beads of sweat loss of breath
I bowed down to you
You gave me no choice
Sometimes it's hard to look at you
The shame and guilt, disbelief
I know it's not your fault

The Devil On My Shoulder

Every body breaks sometime
You don't have to be ashamed
Holding on to all this hope
Is it really helping things?
I'm so glad you came inside
Let me get you right. Sit tight
You feel familiar
And I'm sure you heard those promises of
Fences painted white, such a perfect life
Yeah right
You can keep dreaming, dreaming
It's why I say
Why waste the time these days
Crawl back into my cave
Happily chained
Oh please, won't you stay and watch the
Shadows on the wall
Perfectly adept at making you feel
Home in my presence, your harbor for respite
This chair was made for you
To take a rest and stare at the ceiling
Accept this as healing
You and I can stay here
Forever be free from
Letdowns and bad breaks
We're safe from the heartache
I can make you warm, blankets for the storm
Keep calm
You wouldn't leave me
So don't question it, see
I'm crawling out
No more shadows
I can save you

Set in motion the ceremonial
Supernatural, sentimental sway
Underneath the stars
Watch the world dissolve
We are rhythm intertwined
Heartbeats synchronized
Stay close
Push and pull apart
Find us in the dark
Our embrace is everything I want
Everything I need
Here

A promise I make to you
I'll give you the best of me
It's unconditional
Know that I'll never leave
I'll go to the ends of earth
That's what you deserve
I won't let you down
Little heart of mine
You always seem to make me smile and
I remember when you asked if you can touch a sound
It blew my mind
I hope you find these sounds are touching you
It's good to know you aren't afraid to take a fall
And get back up. Don't let anything stand between you
And what you feel you need to reach
To fulfill your heart's desire
When I look into
Your eyes I see your mother staring
Back at me. Those eyes hold keys to having me
Lost in how sweet and beautiful it is to have you near
I try to be the right example. I will show you how
It feels to be adored and cherished for just what you are
A shining light, my warrior
Keep walking your own path

Like Son

Here we are now, my son
Healing our wounds, undone
I'm so sorry no choice was given to you
And it's hard sometimes, I know it is
Stay strong
You've come so far, so much more ahead
This won't define you
And all I want is to.....
Take it all away
So it's all over now, I want to
Right now
Just know I love you so

Sound Asleep

You and I
Sound asleep
Safe in our dreams so deep
We always knew this night would come along
Can't we just dream for now
Let's lay it all down
We'll have to wake up soon
But for now let it sleep in sound
We should let it sleep it sound
In here we drift along the wind
Tethered by our immunity
Surrounded by the radiance
We are free
Everlasting
Tomorrow, it may never come
So why should we let this chance slip away
Tonight is our only guarantee
You and me, boundless energy
I don't want to wake up
'cus it's you and I and we're sound asleep
We're safe in our dreams so deep
