Cities scream, unwholesome night some will live, some will lie Its the only flavor you thought to try Why don't we kiss like the lonely do? Echos ringing in my head Something tells me I'll break again like just a fascinating trend I'm just a lover, it's a lonely rule Say hello to the bridge that's catching fire falling through the air, on the ground say hello to the lies that brought goodbyes to your doorwhen you wanted more it was only a matter of time before time was a matter Cities dream, the longest night a darkened room lit by cellphone light I wait for you to no avail Why did I say that we were through? Voices singing, they're not from me they tell me live and just let it be second best, you're pushing me I'm just a lover what can I do? Why don't we kiss like the lonely do? Say hello to the bridge that's catching fire falling through the air, on the ground say hello to the lies that brought goodbyes to your door when you wanted more it was only a matter of time before time was a matter and he's the salt in the earth, the light for the world that's fading he makes a killing with his kindness much too well and so he says hello to the lies that take his breathe in a bite in the chill of the night it was only a matter of time

If I ever keep you up I hope it's because we're talking Not 'cause all the things I've said and done have stopped your sleep from coming If you ever keep me up It's worth it if I get to see The curve of your lips and your cute fingertips lace with mine These tiny declarations Are mastered with patience, they tell me No escape from the feeling that all of my words are lost on your delicate ears And in any other weather I know we'd be together And I love your touch Your smile Your silence Your light So call me a collector Of memories to stop them from fading And I never wanna be the one who is keeping you waiting And inaction will make us slaves of temptation forever So if we weave the dreams does that mean that we're sposed to chase 'em And I love your touch Your smile Your silence Your light And I love your touch Your smile And in any other weather I know we'd be together you aim for horizons that suns thought were better any other weather wouldn't help me forget her And I love your touch Your smile Your silence Your light And I want your love your whisper your broken lines your sighs And in any other weather, I know we'd be together in any other weather, I know we'd be together in any other weather, I know we'd be together

Here I am stuck in the middle like every time I close off Here we are stuck in between and green soon as we take our clothes off Here you were sitting still beneath the warm comforter where we slept Here I'll be living in the memory of touch before you left Come home to me and I'll keep you closer come home to me just come back to bed come home to me 'cause time is a matter come home to me Here I am waiting for change to step into this unwholesome night Here we are waiting for fate to step in but its no paradise Here you were falling away from the home that I'm sure is long lost Here I'll be wishing that keeping this moment could come with a pause Come home to me and I'll keep you closer come home to me just come back to bed come home to me 'cause time is a matter come home to me 'cause your'e all I know home to be 'Cause my soul it sits with willingness to show what's underneath And the clothes we wear will not prepare for what's really underneath

the stain of your poetry on me is silver on the edges of my soul but i know that it won't fix my broken body by the time its all gonna be okay if you let it its all gonna be alright, but there's no guarantee the evening calls you like a devil out of bedlam it's not for sure, but highly likely that you'll lose yourself tonight 'Cause letting go is the hardest part I'm telling you, life gets in the way It's actually good, 'cause you felt so bad as you wear on your head a too-small hat you take in a drink and you let it sit its a potion for emotion to mingle with by the time that you absorb you don't know your name its worth it 'cause the mirror won't seem the same its all gonna be okay if you let it its all gonna be alright, but there's no guarantee oh we've lost another one to the ghosts of the past, and it has begun all through the night, into the day we'll take off the colors that fade away oh we've lost another one to the souls that were trapped between here and the sun all that energy pent up to disintegrate the pieces we once had loved

if you need some company i can keep it with you i don't need the symphony a duet will surely do there's nowhere i want to be long as you are nowhere too if you're ever on your knees if you're lost out in the streets you know we're i'm going to be i will keep you company ---- and sleep gets in between me and those I want to be with so until death conquers me I hope you find a home in me if by chance you never dream if you're bursting at the seams I know where i plan to be i will keep you company

Find the words to fill the spaces 
but she doesn't reciprocate

 Turning over, kissing faces
 hoping that her sleep delays waiting for the ocean to sit still but we're by the bay hands in places your Father'd call a sin 
Not machines, but skin, tendon and skin
 oh we know the consequence of living for the day 
Underneath my broken language 
I can speak the way I think
 scattered into pieces, never clear 
like a church mosaic 
We can be such heroes/villains 
we're Cartesian dualists
 Put my body over mind
 We will turn this darkness into light tonight oh we know the consequence of living for the day you live for in the moment so live for the moment

Is it true that what was done in dark will soon come to the light? Is it easier, forgetting you, in higher states of night? Does it take a breaking voice to ease slow burns and change for better? Does a sleepless night mean I want to mend the ties I thought I severed?

Black.
          It was all he could see. No matter how wide he opened his eyes, he could see nothing, no one. Maybe there wasn't anything at all, anyone at all. Of course he knew this was wrong; she still in the room; he could still hear her breathing, it was labored. He reached out, feeling for her, but instead felt humid air engulf his palms with moisture.
          Neither of them could leave. Neither could see the other clear enough to see each other's expressions. Like rats in a cage, they lay, both thinking of a way to navigate out of this most unpleasant maze of pleasantries. She started to say something, but instead trailed off. What luck, good or bad, could have brought them here?
          He got up to feel the cool breeze of the window; he ran into something, probably the waist-high dresser across the room; doubled over in pain, the wind knocked out of him he leaned against it to take a beat. She, on the other hand, sat up ever slightly in the bed. She wasn't sure what to make of everything.   It was silent for a long while. He was wondering what she was thinking, and she the same. They wondered whether or not things would be the same. They contemplated the gravity of decisions and actions. They hoped that gravity would be forgiving, for once. 
          Someone moved; it was obvious because the carpet made that characteristic scratching brushing noise. It seemed to echo even in such a small room. Maybe it was imagination. The door opened, and closed. 
           More silence. Though now it felt like the comfortable variety,
           He strode across the room, fumbled for the switch. Then, light. 
           She had gone, disappeared, like a dream before the breaking day. He couldn't believe it, then he did. She had gone. --- It's been a long, long while since I've been lost inside my head and this may be the safest place to be lost with you I can hardly talk so I am singing this instead but this may be the easiest way to get through to you it doesn't matter what the clock tells for time it doesn't matter what the calendar marks today I'm falling faster than the stars from the sky I need you to listen when I say Be careful with my heart, I'm begging be careful with my heart, I'm begging
