All At Once

All these little walls
I run in circles -- you catch before I fall
But undercover, I'm on my own
Maybe soon I'll know how to proceed
Beyond what lies beneath.
If I'm honest, I dream of you all day.
But it feels like you're a million miles away.
Keep focus on infinity and you'll never make it.
I bet it's safer inside my head, it's always imagined perfectly.
Perfectly.
And these are the nights I won't care to remember.
A twitch of the mind's eye, to calm down eventually.
If I'm honest, I dream of you all day.
But it feels like you're a million miles away.
Keep focus on infinity and you'll never make it.

Away

Send away for a while
Don't let me keep you
Marble gray, a cracked tile
Breaking apart.
I saw your light - or heaven - or something strange.
Send away for some time
Where I can't reach you
Stuttering hands; a cracked nail
Breaking apart.
Stress repeating
Imprinted in the desk and bleeding.
Didn't you know that I lied when I told you -
I don't feel a thing? Well it ain't true.
Didn't you know that I lied just to keep you away?

Lie

Lie to me.
Tell me every single thing that keeps us weak
Could disappear within a week
If I stop thinking and get some sleep.
Sometimes it hurts too much to speak - but I'm fine.
Seeing red
Your words still whip around my head
But they're no threat if I sit still and I play dead.
They're a pendulum inches from my neck
They may be gone but they'll be back in no time.
In time, to crash right down on me.
Each time, it all comes down on me.
And yet, it stands, I love you more than you could know.

Tunnels

I was lost then as I am now.
Tore a tunnel in thin air and crawled out.
Drove past myself in an autumn crowd when we came home and danced around.
Never knew just who I was - no great excuse but used it up
And recited every year for four - believed the lies at my front door.
And here we are, near decade in
Still feeling I've yet to begin
To know how to be in control
In the tunnel left my soul.
I'm lost now as I was then
Tear tunnels in thin air and wander in
To spend time with my younger heart
and stop the lies before they start.

Love Letter

Forget all of your notions of progress.
Face facts.
The butterflies that swirl in your chest when you're restless have died out.
Your heart now flutters in wake of their absence.
And blood boils, singeing hair off your skin as it burns its way out.
When you were last at peace, tell me how it felt.
Was it forgiving? Cause I'm not.
Until the summer came and it came home.
I missed out on me
Distracted with TV
Careful not to think --
You might fall in.
All the things I can't control end up controlling me.
