"My stomach gets filled with clouds
and i'm walking on butterflies."

((from my poem "Contorted Perfection" ))

From the lack of sleep & the bloodshot eyes
To the nervous kiss & the butterflies
Does this make any sense at all
We are not sleeping & Im not breathing
If this means anything at all
I wont let you leave me anymore

So I'll waste these nights for a while
but I'll be holding onto you forever
and this is where my heart is cold and torn
as I hear the words you're saying tonight
I'm falling for them every single time

I can see where you are
I can tell you're enjoying it so far
I would love to escape, but now I'm bound
by the of burn of your eyes
looking on as I'm starting to realize
I'm a pawn in your game and this is checkmate

As the roses lift their heads to catch a glimpse of my demise
you'll be throwing lies around like ocean waves throw down the tides
and they are breaking on my shore
and the rescue team won't save me now I'm out too far

It's a thrill I can't shake
yeah I know we've been writing a mistake
but it's hard to erase the feelings I've drawn
I was caught in an awkward silence
broken down by the sound of your prelude that you played
to open our symphony

I've been sleeping with the sunrise watching hours pass away
incidentally I'm just waiting for the dusk to kill the day
but now I'm waiting for your call
while I bang on this piano like you care at all

In the moonlight
ur face it glows
Like a thousand diamonds
I suppose
nd your hair flows like
The ocean breeze
Not a million fights
Could make me hate u
ur invincible
Yeah Its true
Its in your eyes
Where I find peace

So here we are now
In a place where
The sun blended
With the ocean thin.
So thin, we stand
Across from each other
Together we will wonder
If we will last these days
If I asked you to stay
Would you tell me
You would be mine?

Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
Lets light up the town, scream out loud
Is it broken?
Can we work it out?
I can see in your eyes
Youre ready to break
Dont look away.
