Scarlet

every moment of my past
fades to black, leaves a permanent stain
i tell myself that time will wash away
just one breath splits in half
my faceless mask, leaves a word unerased
scarlet letter trapped inside my chest
how many years must i walk this path?
til it disappears
til my bones are ice in a cave
candles in a grave
shut my eyes figurine
magdalene, so that nobody knows
just keep my secret til they find me out
how many years must i walk this path?
til it disappears
til my bones are ice in a cave
candles in a grave
bones are ice in a cave
candles in a grave
and every night i try not to remember
the black you poured on me that december
and all the while i hold on to my heartbeat
just trying to stay alive
til my bones are ice in a cave
candles in a grave
bones are ice in a cave
candles in a grave

Maybe

i like the smell of incense burning sweet
splits this room in half like cutting shears
helps me remember what i'm doing here
helps me forget all the pain and fear
i kinda like it when you talk that way
bits of glass smooth like chardonnay
tell me that you love me, tell me that you're sorry and
i'll hide my face, forget the other day
maybe this time around you won't talk to me that way
maybe this time around i'll find the strength to fly away
maybe
your charm sneaks like thieves through your teeth
and twists and toys with my head
stealing all of my breath, all of my soul
til i'm left stranded alone
maybe this time around you won't talk to me that way
maybe this time around i'll find the strength to fly away
(you're sorry and, i'm sorry and i'm
smell of incense burning
smell of incense burning
maybe this time around
maybe this time around
maybe this time around
maybe-)
maybe this time around you won't talk to me that way
maybe this time around i'll find the strength to fly away
maybe this time around
maybe this time around
maybe this time around, and
maybe this time around

Squares

we live in squares here
we like the boxes, cages, rules, and pages
that tell us what's pleasing, what's right
but now that i've left the shapes behind
my mind's confused without the lines
all i have left is a tangled mess
with nothing but scraps and fragments
nothing but scraps and fragments
i lied to myself
to make it fit, to make it perfect
i aligned my heart somehow
with a system that tried to kill me
slowly
i am deflated here
all my efforts to please, constant fight to succeed
have left me empty and vacant
but now that i've left the shapes behind
my mind's confused without the lines
all i have left is a tangled mess
with nothing but scraps and fragments
nothing but scraps and fragments
i lied to myself
to make it fit, to make it perfect
i aligned my heart somehow
with a system that tried to kill me
slowly
i missed my life with my heart confined
all my time's been lost, suffocated to dust
i missed my life with my heart confined
all my time's been lost, suffocated to
i missed my life with my heart confined
all my time's been lost, suffocated to dust
i missed my life with my heart confined
all my time's been lost, suffocated to
dust
i missed so much life
with my heart confined
all my time's been lost
forcing my heart to adjust
to what?

Our Hearts

summer winds dance on our skin
feel the sun's pursuit
rains rip through the clouds, spilling over
they touch our dry and thirsty mouths
i can hear the sound of laughter
from the children as they dance and play
my heart is beating faster
ready for your open embrace
our hearts
are beating, beating to a song
we're singing, singing
let's break every wall down
til we're falling, falling apart
and we listen to the beat of our hearts
light bleeds through the walls
reaches every corner in the dark
sun shatters the fall
tears apart the knots we recall
our hearts
are beating, beating to a song
we're singing, singing
let's break every wall down
til we're falling, falling apart
and we listen to the beat of our hearts
my heart was deaf and closed off
bound up tight in a locked box
but then you came and set me free
you unveiled my eyes
and i see your light for the first time
feel the sun's pursuit
feel the sun's pursuit
feel the sun's pursuit
feel the sun's pursuit
our hearts
are beating, beating to a song
we're singing, singing
let's break every wall down
til we're falling, falling apart
and we listen to the beat of
our hearts
are beating, beating to a song
we're singing, singing
let's break every wall down
til we're falling, falling apart
and we listen to the beat of our hearts
