Mismatch

mismatch. good times
i'll rhyme the lines

car crash. ask why.
try living a lie

soon to be, never was.
we'll see, just because.

time ticks, clicks with
a simple beat that won't miss.

riddled rhythms don't win
they never will, they just spin.

wrap your head around this
i wrote a long list, called loveless

and it seems to me, you're on it
you're off it
you're on it
stay off it

they say don't quit
but hope did.
its just another long lived
drawn out dying flame that i thought God lit.

but in the end, that's the point
that there's an end.
whats left to mend?
it's pointless
it's just a mess.
so what's left?
time to rest

rest my body
my heart, my soul
before i go back, back to the old

or if the old comes back,
i can't help but question the fact
the fact that's now a trap.
we might just be a mismatch

One Life

one life
is all you need
one life
is all you see

what you dream it to be
is not how it seems
to be playing out.

watch as i leave, you'll
look out for me, no
you won't you don't
you can't you won't no

in time
they said to me
it goes by
well not easily

i'm waiting for a map to guide me
i'm asking for the light to blind me
you're lost between the night's and day's dreams
even if by chance can you kiss me lightly

what you dream it to be
is not how it seems
to be playing out.

watch as i leave, you'll
look out for me, no
you won't you don't
you can't you won't no

Weak

can you take this disease
it's been ravaging me

took control of my mind
like a hand's grasp on time

met you, and with me
there's no doubt that i see
what is meant to be free
but what is more like a dream

it rids rhythm from design
so the seconds tick slower,
than the minutes they mime

reluctantly i fear
that you might overhear
my illogical beat
which sent streaming the tears

Slumber

wait
i've been here before.
but why is it different?
there is so much to adore.

this bark, it's old.
this grass, it's fresh.
that dandelion died,
ready to grant its wish.

this is a place,
where dreams exist.
where wonders and worries,
all seem to mix.

hide and seek.
tag your it.
i think this pile of leaves
is where i'll sit.

Swim

Out of place.
Out of line.
Since when was it right
for you to decide?

First hide.
Then confide.
Then spread,
the vicious lies.

Conform.
I'm torn.
Wrote rules for peace
provoking the war.

I stood chest-high,
mid-stream I screamed.
A current of tears
washed over me.

Ripped me away
from all my dreams,
pulled me downstream
towards destiny.

Crash

Come in, come in.
commit, commit.
I just can't get over it.

Why is it raining?
it's the wrong time of year.
please stop the car,
please turn around here.

I'm wet, I'm wet.
my cheeks are red
the water, it's cold.
do you remember or regret?

You're blurry, you're blurry.
I cannot see.
it's not worth trying.
I'm starting to bleed.

Just me, just me.
broken glass,
shattered dreams.

Wake up, wake up.
Get up love.
You have no idea,
what I've been dreaming of.

I've Known You All Along

brought forth
to the front of your mind.
you'd spent so much time
trying to leave it behind.
but not this time.

when i pick up a piece
it shatters again.
so many
too many
scattered within me.

i see where you are.
lost in the dark.
and i'd be that light,
but not this time.

there's another beside you.
and you think he's the one,
but he is lost too.
now look what you've done.

you have the map,
i've got the light.
they work better together,
but not this time.
