Blue is such a dreadful color
Never meant to be
The sky not honest in its claims
Only what you see
Where could color come from
In the dawn with morning sight
Would not the nothing up above
Be hidden as in night
The lies that spoke such volumes
That only dark reclaims
When brightly colored nothingness
Is all we've set to fame
The beat that calls itself a day
Is nothing but a stage
Shedding itself gone away
When hours turn the page
It never claimed to be much more
Than phases of the moon
Poets written ancient lore
And sung such solemn tune

What I lived for, I'd have died for
Wishing never seen
Never doubted, nor rerouted
Found yet never been
Failed once, forgotten trust
Told she didn't care
All existed, still persisted
Don't deny this cross I bare

No more lies to hide my eyes
While I know you seem to scream
Undying love from stars above
Settling within a dream
Loss and lies, they hide my cries
Never for another here
Fighting in the inner circle
Altogether full of fear

Where is your heart
Does it beat with the steps of others around you
Where is your heart
Is it cold and hollow, alone until they've found you
Where is your heart
Are you the embodiment of love
Where is your heart
Does it give you the power to rise above

Here is my heart
I hand it to you, still beating from within my chest
Here is my heart
Though there are many like it, mine to give, unlike the rest
Here is my heart
I will not pretend it is the strongest
Here is my heart
But I will leave for coasts where tides are at their longest

For joy does not live here, among memories of tears
I know your moments, mine too, do applaud each other
Happiness and heartache will be one, facing fears
In hopes together we stand until, one day I find another

There is nothing here but stale air, the breeze that I choke down
Refreshing breaths, I'll rise above the clouds
I realize it's ours, the one I know, this town
But I also know it's time to make them proud

Inspired by the dark, watching the whispering walls as they turn
Shadows of an arc, shapes that swirl and dance as fires burn
Learning how to breathe, knowing the real is what we perceive
Unthinking as we heave, pressing further through what we believe
So many more creations, so many more, so far away
As we sit so calmly at our stations, moving blissfully through our day

Moments in time frozen only in memories, what we see
Passions and purpose known only to you and to me
Each fallen grain of sand demanding to be reset
Finding it's place among the millions it has met
Climbing through thoughts like a spider on the wall
Each one I have of you, losing grip to let me fall

I'll never want to know why you've become a ghost
For all the passion and heartache my mind played host
I've let go of all devices and decided to move on
This bitter world had broken once, a goal I'd set upon
Remember this and promises that time has long since killed
For all I've meant to find is now a faded, passing thrill

Passion, compassion, heartache and blood
Your fashions that injured me rising above
I am my own man and I'll be as I am
I'm more of the kind who watches Kablam
No floor to my foot, throttle in hand
So much more to this than you understand
Attempted to turn me into a niche
Well, now I will prove that I don't need your leash
Love is a drug, the only one needed
Hearts filled with joy cannot be defeated
Bitter and spiteful, slicked back like Travolta
Never for me to be one to insult ya
You have your love and I will have mine
Causing a smile in our young hearts, divine
You can be cool, and I will be happy
Causing a smile cause each one does entrap me
My hair is not short, nor shall it be ever
Down to my elbows, it should be forever
You can be less than impressed with this statement
But I see all your dressage as unpleasant relatement
Now all of this blandness and all of this fault
Is thrown to the wind like the roads take the salt
I am in love with the person I am
For all of your wanting I steady my hand
My home is within me and this will not change
You'll now and forever accept me as strange

Been a while since I've been round here
Feeling better now I'm found here
Looking up the skies are bright
With sun in sky and stars at night

Trees that whisper winds that pass
Branches bare and covered grass
Snow that crunches 'neath my feet
This yearly cycle on repeat

How could any find this daunting
Many winter's ghosts not haunting
Only there to show us wonder
The chilled embrace of white from under
