Wings
Why is it a thrill to watch you leave?
Tugging at the wings you used to spread on me.
Why do I feel this is a fling?
Maybe it’s the way you’re looking down on me.
Hope you recognize what this means.
We got no more love, those are just soft held dreams.
It feels like you don’t trust me, no more.
I hope this doesn’t tear us at the seams.
I fear I keep losing self esteem.

Teach me a lesson
I contemplate more than I demonstrate.
I often over question, the relationships direction.
I've been analyzing expressions,
investigating intentions,
who am I to mention?
I'm way too invested in my own possessions.
I'm selfish, I need you to teach me a lesson.

Vices
I brought us some liquor, cause this week has been so hard.
You tell me that you feel slimmer, overtime is your new job.
I sit back amazed, I can't complain about a lot.
My glass I keep raised, right where you placed your guard.
I want to give you praise, cause you’re always leaving sparks.
You brought us some tree, cause you wanna take it slow.
Empty the debris, I feel clearer ...

Stolen Memories
You’re imperfect, and maybe that’s why I try.
Digging for secrets inside all of your lies.
I wish you could see yourself in spite of this new guise.
Disregard all of your pride, it’s time to set this right.
In the spirit of love, we both paid the fine.
The tithe, whatever helps you sleep at night.
In the spirit of us, I felt you lost your drive.
You felt I lost a high, new vi...

Bloodshot
With your bloodshot eyes.
Every sunset, you cried.
We trusted the lies.
We loved less at times, both upset inside.
The cassette would rhyme.
Play jazz sets to hide.
The bloodshot in mine.
Saw love’s knots and binds.
Untangle the vines.
A tough spot to climb.

New Heights
And I’m hardly your combatant, but it’s like a battle to the death.
And I question why I’m with you, then we’re right back in bed.
And I know your heart is faraway, but forever near my grasp.
And you never show how close we came cause you’re always fearing that.
So I devote those scary thoughts to restless sleep instead.
Cause if I pull back, then you sense that, and we’re right bac...

Equivalent Exchange
Bloodletting pages & letters.
Siphoning passion.
Blurring reality.
An emboldened hero.
A tale as loose as vines.

Airline Tickets
Gone separate ways, holding airline tickets.
You held the opposite of mine, you wanted distance.
I came back to grab you, to try again and fix it.
Said you found a new passion you had to go and visit.
I was too afraid, living on my own.
All of the sadness you shared, I gladly conformed.
Dancing in the rain, you always loved when it poured.
Now on rainy days, I can't go dancin...

Salt & Sea
It's a lesson to learn, something about our love.
With all the past I've explored, it's no wonder it feels this tough.
Cause we once walked together, now we walk away.
It takes a man to see his mistakes, is something I oughta say.
The man I could be, was something you tried to frame.
But I never changed you, I liked just how you came.
The sun gliding off your hair, your smile, s...
