Summer's Rain

Another child bathed in summer's rain
Another cloud rised in horizon's plain
Another piece broke from your crystal heart
Another piece broke your consiousness apart

Chasing after the brightest eyes
Where have you been all my life?
Perhaps you've been a thorn in my side
Perhaps you've been a flower to revive

And here we are, adrift upon summer's sky
And here we are, adrift upon our bitter lives

Though drowning in summer's rain
No longer, no longer, no longer
Now that we've found the urge
For memory to remember

And forgetfulness to forget
For all our times to spend

A Fictional Loss

How many times have i sat by your side?
How many times have i cursed my life?
How many miles have you crossed today?
How many miles since yesterday?

How many things have you wished for?
How many things have you adored?
How many people have you held dear?
How many people around here?

Holding on to a picture
Chasing endlessly after
Love without a frame
Love caving in

Confused and distort
Surprisingly bored
Not a single memory
Was captivating

Un-Innocent

Seeing all of these faces
Trying to switch places with you
But there is nothing that i can do
I've just got to swallow the pain

In need of an explanation
While in rejection of the truth
But there's nothing that i can use
I've just got to accept it this way

Innocence is a lie!
Nothing's justified!
Nobody's the victim!
Everyone's falling in love
Everyone's falling in love

Beauty is s a crime
In everybody's mind
And it's naturally cruel
Yet it's the source of joy

Swim 2

Searching for better views
I've never been this much reduced
And every road I've crossed
Has brought me back to where i was
And all I've loathed I'd trust
To drag forward towards you, love

And there isn't much to say
That i haven't already said
Now all the pressure in my veins
Is merely bursting out of my head

But your touch, it heals
Pain is no longer what i feel
Within the depths, you are true
And there my soul trembles for you

Wondering, just wondering
Maybe you're the line that separates our worlds
Maybe you're the light that guides us forward

Ultimate

It's been a while since i've scarcely moved
The earth vibrates through my skinny shoes
I think i heard a voice, not long ago
Stuck in anxiety for tommorow
I think i glimpsed a smile, not long ago
It breaks down, an angelic halo
You're not alone....not alone

Be gone, he fades
I wonder if he'd run away
I miss his dashing steps
I miss his shiny compliments
Yesterdays without an address
The ultimate sunset...
My ultimate sunset....

Oh, inhaling obsession
Fading depression
I turn my lights on,
Denying aggression
