Hanging
I remember everything, even the type of ring you wanted.
The type of things most would've forgotten.
I was there listening, came through with everything I promised.
That's knowledge for you.
That’s knowledge for you.
You were my favorite subject and I passed all those classes plus I’d hang right after school.
Always hanging onto you, but now we let go and I can’t hang to an excus...

Colors
Chestnut floors we picked over pine.
Hazel almonds enveloped in your eyes.
Coffee beans to feel a rise.
Dark Chocolates are uncovered for surprise.
Amber streaks within your hair.
Lavender fills around the air.
Sky blue like the memories we share.
White noise for all of these moments we stare.
Ruby regal on your lips.
Inside all of these burgundy bricks.
Cri...

Other People
Cause I'm not like other people, she tried explaining things.
I've dipped in pure evil, the rain hasn't poured like my sins.
Hasn't washed the urge away.
Fractured my morals, as I just stood amazed.
Impacted by photos and being latched in her choke hold.
I could ask for tomorrow, she’ll just lash out and wallow.
I relapse because I’m hollow, all of those innocents she’s strung...

Simplify
When I touch your skin, I feel infinite.
As if these minutes had no limits and true love was surely imminent.
As I see you bite your lips with enjoyment, I feel like the sins of all my choices have slowly become voiceless.
The story in your eyes, will satisfy, cause what you signify is all I want to simplify.

Lock & Chain
Have you ever dealt with empathy?
Remember our times were like a child.
Tucked inside all of your energy.
Do I get to comment?
Am I allowed all of this therapy?
Doubt you’ll stick around.
It’s timeless all of the times you’ve picked an enemy.
Or stayed by one.
I could’ve rhymed that, but whats the lesson if you’ve never got one?
And I know a broke heart, when I’ve seen ...

Monster
As I walk towards the evil, I see a jungle filled with branches, going upheaval.
Will I remain myself or just a see through?
I’ve never acted out.
I don't want to free fall from innocence, so I'm moving with diligence.
Hearing the sharpness in their instruments.
All I feel is a rush, knowing I'm considered an immigrant, to sorrow and the mischievous.
There's no looking back.

Growing Pains
This feels like growing pains.
I start to get to know you, but I refrain.
This feels like growing pains,
You open up to me and I embrace the stain.
This could be different from the rest and lord knows I want different from the rest.
Can I past the test?
I want to uncover all of the intricacies,
Cause the more I know, the more people don't.
Growing closer to you, cause I don...

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...
