As I say my prayers
And lay down in my bed
I still have thoughts of you
running through my head
...

I'll have you know that I've been searching my room
for the love we lost atop of the sheets
between the pages of a bible
forced under the weight of pathetic defeat
...

I'm breaking apart, falling into shards of glass across this floor
dreaming again, waking up to this love that I have since ignored
falling in love with my own darkness, because I'm too scared of the light
but now I can't flee, so I'm running from me, as I'm staring into your eyes
...

if beliefs are wrong
then I need to get mine straight
simplicity knocks
yet we all turn away
...

I'm making a conscience effort, but this bullet has flooded my mind
I could see down this path so clearly, but this fog has now clouded my sight
lift me, oh great spirit, maybe then I can see what is right
on the inside I'm still dying, but on the outside I'm feeling alive
...

my heart plays hopscotch inside my chest
tangled in these words built on unrest
it's a slow ease into madness
when we're glad to embrace the sadness
...

Am I only a shadow
of this former life?
Am I but a whispering dream,
shattered at the morning's light?
...

Something as simple as me hearing your name,
Put words in my head that I can’t explain.
We‘re here, and I’m not really sure,
But I see you are all I need and more.
...

The sound of your voice was music to my ears;
so soft, sweet, and clear...
The kiss from your lips made words I could not explain;
it took away my worries and my pain.
...

my torpid flesh reveals
that apathetic thrills
are a waste of time and mind
I am overrun
...

I feel like a wrecked ship
lost in the abyss that engulfs me
dressed in darkness I scream
and dream like the selfish
...

my life is a deck of cards
shuffled and lost in the color
but I am more than two shades of gray
ordered one atop the other
...

does it count
to see anymore
or are we all just blind?
I stand fixated atop
...

I've been waiting on forever
but I can't see a light against this dimmer
please be my life and salvation LORD
I need you so much more than this
...

I wish I could have looked into the future
to see where I am standing now
so I would know that consequences
aren't only for the quick and loud
...

I thought I saw something in the breeze
then a rush of air came down and swallowed me
I leave paper trails behind me
but yet can not conceive these blatant things
...

apparently there's nothing wrong with being wrong anymore
everything I ever do is nothing more than poor
I'm tired of trying my hardest, when my best just isn't enough
all I could ever ask for is just a touch of your love
...

the blackness fades away again
I'm left here, standing dead
in space and time I walk a fine line
as I write all over these walls forever
...

I am here for you
keep your eyes away from me
I'm dirty and ashamed
but I still love you the same
...

I feel your breath breathing down the back of my neck
but I don't know
I feel your heart beat beating inside my chest
but I don't know
...
