Wanted

Blossoms on the trees in spring bring home my desire
Half assed wrote apologies invoke my tire
Sometimes it aches
Sometimes it takes me down
Oh my mistake
Thought you would make
It sound better than you did
That’s all I ever wanted
That’s all I ever wanted
My memories burning right into gas
A cloudy existence of what’s in the past
I can’t remember you
I don’t think I know how to
Old souls intertwined in binds of my fleeting mind
Your words seem to miss my ears these years
although kind
Sometimes it kills
Sometimes it fills in space
Oh my mistake
Thought you would make
it sounds better than you did
That’s all I ever wanted
That’s all I ever wanted
My memories burning right into gas
A cloudy existence of what’s in the past
I can’t remember you
I don’t think I know how to
I can’t remember you
I don’t think i know how to
And that’s all I ever wanted
That’s all I ever wanted

Violet Fire

If ice was warm
and winter could burn an iris to it’s core
Cool is the warmest flame
It melts the blame
without shame
We cause violet fires, it seems-
-We’re but a dream
Emerald eyes and purple skies
They gleam
Mountain breeze, fall to me knees
I stare in admiration
Familiar smell i know too well
A love that often bleeds
In two more steps you’ll pass me by
and I’ll awake with tired eyes
And my fears of loneliness are no surprise
I sit on a chalkboard roof
as skies turns a darker blue
And I fill my lazy head with thoughts of you
And I lit the violet fire to clean
In truth I lie
In a freezing bed of longing I hide
Fool is the only name
that I’m to claim
We’re the same
So flows the violet flame again
And there is rain
Majesty and disbelief remain
Holy means your soul’s pristine
Unearthly man redeems
Hubris of a god above
My own relief is love
In two more steps you’ll pass me by
and I’ll awake with tired eyes
My fear of loneliness are no surprise
I sit on a chalkboard roof
as skies turns a darker blue
And I fill my lazy head with thoughts of you
You caused the violet fire
He caused the violet fire
I caused the violet fire in me

The Walk Down Song

I know what I feel ain’t good for me some times but this here feels alright
I know that i am prone to messiness but I hope that you’ll kiss me tonight
Gentle in a way that I can see there is pain
Beauty in a way when you’re talking it’s never in vein
I don’t know how it made me bow but you’ve got it right some how
Maybe I can do it over again
I hope you’ll think about it
Was that something or should I doubt it?
Stay, I hope you’ll stay for a while babe
Stay smiling babe
Smiling with that dimple on your face
It may be that you do this all the time or maybe you’re really just that kind
Oh but me, silly me
I’m not the type to smile so sweetly but I guess I’m just blind
I didn’t wanna feel your heart but I’ve made it this far
You don’t even know that I’ve reopened a scar
You’ve got a comforting way of making me feel okay
But I can’t tell if that is me behind your gaze
I hope you’ll think about it
Was that something or should I doubt it?
Stay, I hope you’ll stay for a while babe
Stay smiling babe
Smiling with your hair over your eyes
Almost made take down my disguise
Smiling with that dimple on your face

Control

Far past the ocean over rolling hills
Yes, marked by a stream
Know what I mean?
She bought and sold the meadow’s golden reeds
I know what it seems
She was dry cleaned
I let things happen sometimes just because I saw it on tv
On a little screen
Mind scattered, hasty, wasting, energy on these magic beans
High on caffeine
I just want control of something please, please
I want to get back at you for things you did in my dreams
Reality is distorted for me
Life has demanding standing standards of physicality
I’m to be lean
Disordered thinking about what I eat
How I sleep
How to breathe
That’s so obscene
I just want control of something please, please
I want to get back at you for things you did in my dreams
Reality is distorted by-
My obsession with food
Oh and it changes my mood
I wanna love myself nude
Don’t wanna be so rude to myself
I just want control of something please, oh please
I want to get back at you for things you did in my dreams
Reality’s distorted for
Reality’s distorted for
Reality’s distorted for me

Unsatisfied

I am struggling
to get down to the beat of your drum
to the sound of your voice like a gun
to get around this place I've held under your thumb
I am struggling not to feel numb
And to you
I'm just wailing and whining like I always do
Forever trying to please you like I always do
Indemnifying for what you've made me lose
I am struggling not to feel blue
I just wanted to clarify that you know why I'm so unsatisfied with that look in your eyes
It's because of your lies
I just wanted to clarify that you know why I'm so unsatisfied with that look in your eyes
It's because of your lies
