Tunnels

And if the snow buries
my neighborhood
And if my parents are crying
then I'll dig a tunnel
from my window to yours

You climb out the chimney
and meet me in the middle
the middle of the town
And since there's no one else around
we let our hair grow long
and forget all we used to know
then our skin gets thicker
from living out in the snow

You change all the lead
sleepin' in my head, to gold
as the day grows dim
I hear you sing a golden hymn
the song I've been trying to sing

On The Nature Of Pink Hiacynths

It's not paranoia, just practicality - never trust a person completely.

Everyone lies, to one extent or another. It's a fact of life because everyone has a different view on the 'truth' spectrum. Be most wary of individuals who claim they will never lie to you - they've succumbed to their own bullshit, and believe their own lies to be true.

There is a distinct line between a person who is willing to lie to themselves and believe it, than someone who is a practiced and/or admitted liar.

Time We Fled

Leave the body, leave the mind
Leave the body, leave the mind
Every promise
Every place
Behind

I just happen to feel so alone
For today, for all days to come
I just wanna be wanna be gone

Leave the quiet, leave the night
Broken feelings of dreams out of sight
Pictures in your head at night
For tonight, for all nights to come
Erased for good and always gone

Leave the city, leave the cold
Young people far too old
Let me cross a very fine line
For today, for a lifetime

I just happen to feel so alone
For today, for all days to come
I just wanna be wanna be gone

Sweet Like Metal

I’m giving up the ghost of love and a shadow is cast on devotion. She is the one that I adore, queen of my silent suffocation. I won’t give up. I’m possessed by her. I’m bearing a cross, she's turned into my curse.

Break this bittersweet spell on me. Lost in the arms of destiny, bittersweet. Oh how I wanted you. Oh how I needed you ...
