As The Oceans Moved

There was penitents
In the movements we made
Every empty stare
But we were happy just the same
I felt the weight in your steps
The cold of your embrace
Yet every word I read
This all would change
We were safe
We were risking nothing
As the oceans moved
And every sentence left me, empty
And as the days have piled high around me
I’ve realized that I was drowning in a place that I both truly longed for
but wanted so desperately to escape
How love and loss can co-exist
How you find heavy hate inside brilliant bliss
Will forever be lost on me
Our lives are filled with a curated love
And we chase it down like a tiger seeking prey
Without thinking for even one second that this love
This fucking love
Is nothing more than the ice that will so quickly dissipate
And now I see
With open eyes
And complete clarity
We were safe
We were risking nothing
As the oceans moved
And every sentence left me, empty
I never saw the skies in you
I never mapped these stars
But you showed me
How words can be this empty
Left me empty
EMPTY
With stolen words
On pages not meant
FOR ME
NOW I SEE SO CLEARLY
We were safe
We were risking nothing
As the oceans moved
And every sentence left me, empty
I never saw the skies in you
I never mapped these stars
But you showed me
How words can be this empty
How words can be this empty
Empty
How was words can be this EMPTY
EMPTY
THIS LOVE
IT PASSES THROUGH ME

True Romance

I’ve such a way with words
This honesty may feel like lying
And this love may be trivial
But if not for love then what are we dying for
And in seconds as these letters turn to words
I feel slipping through my fingers
Every lesson that I’ve ever learned
I see nothing in everything like the colour of her eyes
But I don’t even know her name
You see, I’m just reading my lines
Please don’t wait for me
I found heaven in letting go of every answer that I had
And there’s nothing more romantic
Than the bottom of this glass
Please, oh my god
I couldn’t swallow a word that you said
Please, oh my god
I saw you coming from a mile away
Please, oh my god
We can marvel at the mess that we have made
Please, oh my god
I saw you coming from a mile away
Logic is paper thin but I
Can’t help but let you in as we play this game
Lovers will never win but we
Keep sinking hope in sin
I won’t play this game
Break my heart
Or leave me be

We move mountains
In hopes to find pieces of honesty
But distance will only deepen this disconnect
We’ve broken our only language
Coz we’re both sleeping in this silence
Drowning in the words we left unsaid for so long
And if patience is my virtue
Then we’re both dead and gone
We place filters
On every word we’re saying
It’s never ending
But distance will only deepen this disconnect
We’ve broken our only language
Coz we’re both sleeping in this silence
Drowning in the words we left unsaid for so long
And if patience is my virtue
Then we’re both dead and gone
Coz we don’t say a thing
We don’t say a thing
They say that everything that happens will happen in time
And this fate counts for nothing we’re just reading our lines
When the romance is ending
When the gentlemen lie
We’ve abandoned our hope year we
We let it die
You said that truth counts for nothing but still I will try
And if distance is wanted then distance is fine
When the romance is ending
When the gentleman lie
We let it die
Coz we’re both sleeping in this silence
Drowning in the words we left unsaid for so long
And if patience is my virtue
Then we’re both dead and gone
Coz we don’t say a thing
We don’t say a thing
Say a thing
We don’t say a thing

Black Coffee Blues

I’ve stumbled upon this place
This great escape
Now fifteen years have passed
And i am still the same
We represent this life because it’s all we know
And what if i’m left wanting
There must be something more
Than this emptiness i keep filling and re-filling
Another night is left with nothing honest
In my veins
And questions go unanswered
I’m left with no-one else to blame
This clarity, oh god, this clarity is killing me
Patience sinks through the floor
As this vacant love just mirrors yours
And i’m still reminded who i was
Like letters in lockets and screamed applause
We watched the days bleed into darkness
A beginning with no end
In love with love and yet we settle
For this silent supplement
But what of life
If all we really know is loyalty unlived
This clarity, oh god, this clarity, it’s all i see
And what is left of me?
Patience sinks through the floor
As this vacant love just mirrors yours
And i’m still reminded who i was
Like letters in lockets and screamed applause
We’ve buried these bottles
Now all we have is this honesty
Patience sinks through the floor
As this vacant love just mirrors yours
And i’m still reminded who i was
Like letters in lockets and screamed applause
Patience sinks through the floor
As this vacant love just mirrors yours
And i’m still reminded who i was
Like letters in lockets and screamed applause

In an empty room
Under perfect light
And surrounded by another 2am inside my mind
I can set the stage
I can plan it out
But i wanted something more
Than this fiction
So i’ll get gone get gone
Put poetries aside
These images are wrecked by definitions redefined
I’ll get gone get gone
I’m seeing now this existence
We taste blood on our fingers
While claiming innocence
And this world we envision
Will all catch fire as we waste our days
As we waste away
It’s all the same
And i never thought this was an innocence
But now i see
I’m living in this life i built on ignorance
And this patience is a burden
And i need to let it go
So i’ll get gone get gone
I’m seeing now this existence
We taste blood on our fingers
While claiming innocence
And this world we envision
Will all catch fire as we waste our days
As we waste away
It’s all the same
The paint was peeling from the walls
As the room filled with water
When i realized i’m nothing
But an empty page
We taste blood on our fingers
While claiming innocence
And this world we envision
Will all catch fire as we waste our days
As we waste away
It’s all the same
It’s all the same
It’s all the same
It’s all the same

Lessons

You wait for the light to speak it’s truth but
I see black and white in all it’s beauty
We’re so intertwined for just a moment but
I see through your eyes and realize that
Life was playing all my lessons
Was playing all my history
It was clear to me i was wrong
And seeing my decisions
Enveloping what’s left of me
It was clear to see i was
Missing
Like a perfect ending
As clarity fell like a burning building
We breathe in the silence
It feels so succinct
And marvel at all the colours we see
Life was playing all my lessons
Was playing all my history
It was clear to me i was wrong
And seeing my decisions
Enveloping what’s left of me
It was clear to see i was
I was missing
I was wrong
Life was playing all my lessons
Was playing all my history
It was clear to me i was

The words will disappear
And the page returns to white
I’m wasting my time
And every time I find a new scar I realize
I’m holding the knife
Remember when we were fifteen
We saw so clearly
The skin wasn’t peeling from our limbs
Now here we are
It’s down to you and I
It’s always you and I
On this sinking ship
The words will disappear
And the page returns to white
I’m wasting my time
You see the distance
You said you wanted to be focused
But everything you see is anything but
The pen falls, I’m giving up
This isn’t promising
But this is a promise
Oh poison
I need an antidote
Some kind of medicine
I won’t make it through the night
Where were you
When I needed you
This is everything
And it’s all going down again
When all you need is here
And the days are laced in spite
You’re wasting your time
You said you’re waiting for a moment
But every day is left in waiting
This is everything
You know that much
Now dig into your ribs
This isn’t promising
But this is a promise
But I’m the anchor
I’m the one who holds me down
Remember when we were fifteen
We saw so clearly
The skin wasn’t peeling from our
Remember when we were fifteen
We saw so clearly
The skin wasn’t peeling from our
Remember when we were fifteen
We saw so
We saw so much
So much

And just like that, in a moment
You saw through every word you read
You were so sure, you were certain
But look where certainty has lead
These dying words
You always thought you could believe
Were the images of every image
As it brought you to your knees
I wonder how you sleep at night
But in a moment i wake
And reality’s unchanged
I’m nothing for nothing’s sake
As the words unwind you finalize it
There’s nothing left to say
I won’t let you fall
This wasn’t fated after all
I won’t let you fall
And just like that in a moment
You saw through everything she said
You were so sure, you were certain
And now that certainty is dead
These dying words
You always thought you could believe
Was just a second chance
But every second spent
Were nothing more than empty speech
I wonder how you sleep at night
I wonder if i cross your mind
But in a moment i wake
And reality’s unchanged
I’m nothing for nothing’s sake
As the words unwind you finalize it
There’s nothing left to say
I won’t let you fall
This wasn’t fated after all
I won’t let you fall
This wasn’t fated after all
There’s nothing left to say
Nothing left to say
I wonder if i cross your mind

I Can Play the Outlaw
03:06

We wait in line
For just a glimpse of what the royalty will show
We paint ourselves in colours darker than we ever thought we could
And now I know
Perhaps the images are skewed
We purchase paper planes in hopes we’ll fly
We just ignore the truth
And with a single breath, I wait for your reaction
But all I seem to find is distance
Still with your sycophants, I long for your attention
But I don’t care
I don’t care
I don’t care anymore
Listen in, you’re nobody till somebody hates you
So give me hatred
We’re blocking out the sun
We long for heroine love
But I never said I’d wait forever
So water down
The formula till nothing feels the same
But in the end I know I only have myself to blame
I’m not a wanted man
But I can play the outlaw
Coz I don’t care
I don’t care anymore
Listen in, you’re nobody till somebody hates you
So give me hatred
We’re blocking out the sun
We long for heroine love
But I never said I’d wait forever
Forever
Forever
I know it feels impossible
But I know you
I know you
I know you feel invisible
But I see you
I see you
Listen in, you’re nobody till somebody hates you
So give me hatred
We’re blocking out the sun
We long for heroine love
But I never said I’d wait forever
Forever
Forever

And while I know that everything has to change
I hope you can see that what we have now
Is nothing more than a watered down version of something real
We all spend of our waking lives avoiding a reality
That, in the end, we know we truly desire.
And all I keep coming back to
Is the fact that we’ve traded our courage for a keyboard.
We’re so incredibly disconnected from one another
We’ve forgotten what romance really is
Coz we’re just so fucking scared
And the open air we breathe in
Is getting thinner as we’re all
Waiting waiting waiting
For one second but the second never came
Those days are dead
And with open eyes, she said
We can’t go back
Those days are dead and we’re all fighting for the exit
Still we go round
This empty world we live in
Before inevitably we go
Down down down
In the ground
And we never saw it coming
Lately I’ve been wishing
Someone would stop this song
But you play and play inside my head so simple
Wake up
You can’t replace this
Lost love with chemicals
So sing me something
Something that could
Lessen what we know
And once again we’re lonely
We’re begging for connection
As we feign this interest
And I wanna scream this in your face
I laid my body on this beach
I wanna see you now but you’re gone
You’re gone
Wake up
You can’t replace this
lost love with chemicals
So sing me something
Something that could lessen
What we know.
Waiting waiting waiting
For one second
Waiting waiting waiting
For one more.
Waiting waiting waiting
For one second
Waiting waiting waiting
For one more.
Every action has a cost

We take pride in possessions
It’s like a present we can’t keep
And now i see wear caught in the tension
And all i wanna do is sleep
Coz you know it’s just a
A mark we can mention
It’s like a means without an end
But i feel there
Must be a lesson
And i will break before i bend
What if tomorrow never came
What would you say
To a reflection of yourself
And the price that we pay
When everything you know is wrong
And you’ve paid for it
This day could be the greatest
And we can’t wait for a second
This is immediate indeed
Because we want, we want, we want
And we’ve forgotten what we need
Brace for it
This isn’t permanent
We lost ourselves inside the thing that we covet
What if tomorrow never came
What would you say
To a reflection of yourself
And the price that we pay
When everything you know is wrong
And you’ve paid for it
This day could be the greatest
Breathe
Just breathe
Forget this mess and just breathe
Just breathe
What if tomorrow never came
What would you say
To a reflection of yourself
And the price that we pay
When everything you know is wrong
And you’ve paid for it
This day could be the greatest

Did you ever stop to think about the day
That we met
Where we were
It’s funny now, it seems so far away
Like your picture
In reverse
And day by day the time would pass
Till you and i were there at last
Alone, alone with nothing left to say
I kissed you then and i could see
That you and i’d forever be
So close and still we end so far away
Far away
At midnight you would still be on my mind
I would call you
On the phone
And hand in hand we’d wander through this night
To your door step
To our home
Your eyes would tell me so much more
With each and every kitchen floor
A moment filled with unforgiving truth
And now what can i do
When everything reminds me of you
Coz you are a skyrocket
Blasting off leaving nothing in your wake
And me, i’m a falling bomb and
I only end in one way
So i’m sorry for the things i said
And the words that you have never read
For the way that we refused to feel
And the times that we will never have
