Runaway Hearts

 

baby, take the road ’cause nothing feels right

your eyes on the sky, calling love just light

freedom sounds cheap when we run through the night

but honey, I still come back pretending it’s right

run the road, run the road with me

kiss me hard in the moonlight, honey

nothing but the sound, nothing but the heartbeat

yeah, I want it, I want it

telephone wires shaking like we lost the fight

streets look alive, but we laugh out of spite

your inside smile says we’re gone but still bright

but baby, we keep running just to call it a fight

say yes to Heaven

say yes to fire

come and take a walk

higher, higher

baby, the sky feels gone

freedom sounds real small

I hold your hand in the rain

and pretend that’s all

Beautiful Disaster

 

I wiped the lipstick stain off borrowed glass,

The morning light was cold and fast.

You watched the rearview mirror burn,

We treat the past like it’s already ash.

You handed me the keys without a sound,

Knowing every place the guilt still clings.

We wear the secrets like cheap lace,

In every city we’ve come undone.

We are always running, chasing the edge,

The world is teetering on the ledge.

You’re the beautiful disaster I allow.

No future’s holding out for us right now, right now.

The only loyalty is this heat.

Sweet. Sweet. Sweet.

We don’t own a photograph, not one,

So nothing’s left beneath the sun.

We traded slow decades for smoke,

Our kind of love outlives the sun.

Say the ritual, quiet and low.

Where we begin, and where we never go.

Hold my breath.

Own my debt.

We only know the way out.

We only know the way out.

The way out.

We are always running, chasing the edge,

The world is teetering on the ledge.

You’re the beautiful disaster I allow.

No future’s holding out for us right now, right now.

The only loyalty is this heat.

Sweet. Sweet. Sweet.

The car is cold.

You are breathing slow.

And darkness is the one true thing we know.

We dissolve.

The Lie I've Grown

 

She asks if I remembered the old keys, 

I say they’re on the hook, 

where they should be. 

A flicker in her eyes, 

a strange unease, 

She claims the hook’s been empty since July.

I bought the sweater blue, 

to match your coat, 

But on the hanger, 

now the color’s grey. 

I’m sure I saw the thread, 

the subtle note, 

I must have dreamt the morning light away.

The house is built of silence, 

stone by stone, 

A lighthouse in a storm I sail alone. 

The ground I walk upon is not my own, 

And everything I know is just a lie I've grown.

She talks about a promise I once broke, 

A conversation I don’t recall we had. 

I watch the memory dissolve like smoke, 

And nod that I suppose I acted bad.

Did I lock the door? 

Did I turn the light off? 

Did I say the word? 

Did I drive the fight off? 

Is this Tuesday? Is this Sunday? 

Sanity is not for me. Sanity is not for me.

She smiles and says the moon is made of glass. 

I say that’s beautiful, 

and let it pass. 

I watch the dishes dry, 

the seconds crawl... 

I don't remember any of this at all.

Pawn in the Game

 

 

She says I lost the car again,

I could have sworn it was the den.

My mind is like a broken pen,

She pours the tea and counts to ten.

I brought her tulips for the vase,

She says they’re weeds, she makes a face.

I must be slipping all over the place,

I’ll plant them in my suitcase case.

So let’s drink the red wine ‘til the carpet is soaked!

And we’ll laugh ‘til the ribs in my chest assume broke!

Yeah, there’s blood on the ceiling and fire in the smoke!

I’ll eat the whole cake ‘til I gag and I choke!

Excess! Excess! It’s a wonderful joke!

She claims I never had a name,

I guess the passport is to blame.

To argue now would be a shame,

I’ll play the pawn inside the game.

Check the lock. Check the stove.

Did I stay? Did I rove?

Left is right. Up is down.

King of fools. Wear the crown.

Spin the wheel. Take the pill.

If she won't. Then I will.

THEN I WILL.

So let’s drink the red wine ‘til the carpet is soaked!

And we’ll laugh ‘til the ribs in my chest assume broke!

Yeah, there’s blood on the ceiling and fire in the smoke!

I’ll eat the whole cake ‘til I gag and I choke!

Excess! Excess! It’s a wonderful joke!

She says the moon is made of cheese.

I fall politely to my knees.

I’m sorry that I start to freeze.

Whatever you say, honey. Please.

Infinitely Close

 I see you standing, a heartbeat away,

Close enough to touch, but you slip away.

Every word we say feels like déjà vu,

Two stars in the sky, orbiting but never through.

Fate draws us together, then keeps us apart,

An infinite dance, written in our hearts.

Infinitely close, infinitely far,

Parallel lines beneath the same star.

We’ll never meet, but we’ll never fade,

A love that exists in the space we’ve made.

You’re the song I hear, but can’t sing along,

The echo of a melody that feels so wrong.

Every glance is a promise, a story untold,

Two fires burning, but left in the cold.

Bound by the stars, yet lost in the gray,

Forever running, but never to stay.

Maybe in another life, we’ll rewrite the end,

A universe where we don’t have to pretend.

But here in this moment, we know the cost,

A love so profound, it’s forever lost.

Two hearts beating, but never in sync,

Forever apart, closer than we think.

Infinitely close, infinitely far,

Parallel lines, that’s just who we are.

Into the Unknown

 

Trapped in the dark, I can't escape,

Shadows in my mind that refuse to fade away.

Your silence pulls me under, I’m drawn to the pain,

The fire in your touch Burns through my veins.

Your whisper's a spell, it pulls me near,

Falling through silence, consumed by fear.

Deeper and deeper, I'm caught in your spell,

Into the unknown, surrendering my soul.

Late nights alone, I can't break free,

Your echoes in my head won’t let me be.

Your gaze, a heavy tide, it pulls me below,

Yet I keep reaching out for what I can't let go.

Your whisper's a spell, it pulls me near,

Falling through silence, consumed by fear.

Deeper and deeper, I'm caught in your spell,

Into the unknown, losing all control.

Even kingdoms fall, reduced to ash and flame,

Raining from the skies, the world won't stay the same.

I'm falling, deeper, into the storm,

Losing all I was, becoming something more.

Your whisper's a spell, it pulls me near,

Falling through silence, consumed by fear.

Deeper and deeper, I'm caught in your spell,

Into the unknown, where I’m beyond control.

Late nights, alone in the void I remain,

The silence consumes, I call out your name.

Deeper and deeper, I fall on my own,

Into the unknown, where shadows are my home.

Lost Souls - "Together"

  

I’ve been searching for a light to see,

Met her by chance, was it destiny?

I asked her the path, but now I see,

She’s just as lost, no place to be.

Will we ever find the truth we need?

Strong hearts that still bleed.

Souls drifting, no light to lead,

How can we find a way to believe?

I don’t know why we crossed this line,

A question haunts both heart and mind.

If we could stop and take a breath,

Would we find peace, or dare to believe?

The stars above, they’re burning clear,

"Sometimes the answer lies in the fear."

Through the dark, we walk hand in hand,

Maybe together, we’ll make our stand.

Maybe the journey's where we belong…

Writing our story in pain and song.

Lost, but together, we’ll make it through…

The way begins with me and you.
