So close to nothing
til the lights begin to fade
and all I radiate
is all you'll ever need until the day
Saviour Fluorescent
Ill keep you dry in a dark sea
or just a station til you find yourself
something better down the street
Now she's dancing through the street
as if the music never stopped
yeah shes everything I never knew enough to have forgot
whats the point pretending that I'm not here to stay
I'm just a fixture catching glimpses
as she's dancing away.
Staring as she moves so deftly
like clockwork out of time
to the sound of claws unclenching this floating rock
as they place it into mine
and she'd still be spinning if the sun forgot to glow
but for now she's spinning like were everything
and that's all I need to know.
Now she's dancing through the street

Blood soaked in sand
where shadows grow tall
and legions lay leveled with the drop of your jaw
To charge into hell to rise from the crawl
I'd be your devil if anything at all.
What would you steal should fresh bowstrings not break?
And what would I feel if through new ropes I wake?
These honor bound bonds made from each lock you take
What was my price What did you make?The crowd erupts as cannons
every shot fired's one for you they cry
as much as they would like to see you win
You know that hey would much rather watch you dieNow I scratch at my face
to sharpen these horns
and hate til I'm numb
til I cant feel the scorn
The way this head hangs
once such valiance torn
My past wouldn't guess that I've ever not worn
burn blackened eyes
Of Samson Chained
I'd tear us down if you could promise me your pain
See from my throat,
spill pride as rain
I needn't hope as these columns come fallingThe crowd erupts as cannons
every shot fired's One for you they cry
as much as they would like to see you win
You know that hey would much rather watch you die -
She's the glinting diamond
On the flying trapeze
Silhouette on the pinhole night sky
With the birds and the trees and everythingMiles above the skylines city
Here's the body that heaven boasts
And it soars like she sings
And it floats like a ghost it goesShe'll acquaint you
With the pain of breaking
As the horizon steals the red taillights
And everything gets smaller and smaller and smallerWhatever she reach for
Doesn't have to reach for her
She can shatter just like everyone else
And just like everyone else,
Her mosaic will be built someday -
I'm blessed with sun
Where once had all been dark and somber
Instead of basking
I'm just waiting for the rain
Not everyone was meant to leave on happy endings
Some of us are just allowed less painAnd Now I'm waiting for blue skies to falter
I'm waiting for the black clouds to return
I'm Waiting for the ground to crack from underneath and my feet and take me down
To where I'm safe and sound and watch me burn
Watch me burnYou've shown me colors I've not seen
So many things I cant begin to know the meaning
I'll admit it caught my eye
But when I return to myself
These thoughts will gain dust on the shelf
And in the end it'll just keep killing me insideAnd Now I'm waiting for blue skies to falter
I'm waiting for the black clouds to return
I'm Waiting for the ground to crack from underneath and my feet and take me down
To where I'm safe and sound and watch me burn
Watch me burnOh oh oh (X alot.)
to where I'm safe and sound and watch me burn
Watch me burn

We walk on broken ankles
From the city to the sound
Once the singing of the sirens now the beying of the hounds
Looking for familiar faces in the darkness of the crowd
Cause in the sun Vampires sleep their deaths away.So I rifle through my pocket for a silver tongue to bear
Blades of hate and insecurity 'fore the demons know that there
Be a man who walks among them in disguises that they where
Or so I tell myself So I can sleep at nightAnd we scream til we're stripped
Of the need to forget
Every dance Every step
What was right?
Now what's Left? -
Walking down a dark street
Through a story with an ending I don't know
Leaving behind all of my promises
With just a case in tow
Without a care at all that all the old beat pathways wouldn't show
And nowhere i really need to goAfter some lost time wandering
I began to feel the strain
Despite all I had left behind what I kept still manage to pain
If I continue now I knew there would be nothing I could gain
And there's no reason to feignBecause I'm bolder now than I have been
Yes I'm bolder now than I have been
And these steel locks keeping me locked wont be freezing
When I leave them at my heels
Cause I'm bolder now than I have beenAs the air lifted my shoulders
and the wind lifted my feet
It felt so good to feel so good
that I had refused to retreat
As I continued on it seemed that every man that I would meet
Never seemed as tired as meOnce I chose to remember
I learned that it wouldn't go away
Despite all I had shed what I kept had still managed to weigh
For lack of a better word
The emptiness had long chosen to stay
And I concede there’s nothing strong as yesterdayBecause I'm bolder now than I have been
Yes Im bolder now than I have been
And these steel locks keeping me locked wont be freezing
When I leave them at my heels
Cause I'm bolder now than I have beenThe day I met the ocean was the day I learned the road did end
Now everything was gone and I'd forgotten why I had began
I looked into the infinite and screamed the message I would send
No one really cared to pretend
I looked down at my nakedness tried to remember what I'd known
Time and distance had a way of turning all my tragedies to jokes
But I'll admit I was much too tired to want to be alone
So I turned and started home -
You're searching for another rung to reach out for
Looking off the last edge of the world
As shadows dance quiet across creations eyes
Are you the only who's still surprisedSailing deep waters for each rogue wave you could find
Running from the home you left behind
May not be what you want but maybe what you need
So for now baby lay you head down go to sleep. -
Translucent broken angel clings to shore
Listing lazy long the sea
This gravity is to abhor
Are you impressed by anything?You're beautiful
but you question my taste
I've seen you so regal and full
but my vision is to wasteHow can you breathe with that tight lip purse and stare?
Now can't you see that you're better off down there?Countless every days wash off your back
Careening absent from the fight
Thick yellow cellophane attack
Blue pooled with oil in the lightOn an air you glide
A photoexcitation
Like none other can fly
Expecting admirationThe visage looked upon to set to stone
Is this the fluid work of art?
Is this the skill you choose to hone?
Is this the quintessential start?Free from peer or bloom
Your umbrella shields emotion
When the new tide looms
Will it still be your ocean?What can be helped
When your toxic claws are hid?
Not to push or pull
Like everybody always did.Are you sunken have you drowned
Are you everything I lost and never found
The virtue you're the sin
and I'm everything that won't let me begin
That creeping sense of dread
and tiny voices swimming through my head
Full of lies and all so wrong
Had what I seen been nothing all along
I'm healthy not the hole
you used to dump the remnants of my soul
I'm lucid I am proud
and not just everything that I'm allowed
So much wasted on the tryst
and not a single thing that I will miss
So permittance to exist
Dictates the cry of triumph
and it goes a little something like -
I read alone
To pass the time since you've been gone to learn
How to never be alone again
And I'll take you home
From the hole in which they told you that
You'd never roam no more
A Face like yours
Don't deserve to be hidden awayIf I could step inside
The house we built where I could hide then I'd
Be safe only under caring eyes
And I won't lie
If the skeletons I'm hiding are the only ones you'll find
Don't be afraid of the person inside
