Stretched out and warped this love
It keeps creeping in
My dreams my heart my blood this love
Settling down before me – without me
You left me
Save my dreams my heart my blood
This love
I bleed
My love
I bleed
Cut with tongues of serpent speak
I crave your salt be poured on me
So to be transformed
I seek
A lesser evil – a time less bleak
Shelter me from this dry and drab
Pour rains upon me of what I once had
Illusive is what's held in hand
Slips through my fingers like time and sand
I tighten my grip and try to keep
This love, of which, to you I speak
So I'll dance tonight with you my love
I'll hold you close in my dreams my love
I'll keep you in my heart my love
I'll continue to bleed
To bleed this love

Freedom
Freedom lives in a box like the rest of us
It sits beside me along with regrets and past tests
Didn't think that they mattered so I cheated along the way
Cheated myself straight into this common gray
I felt I said it all so I put down my pen
No use trying to squeeze water from a rock again and again
Instead I hang on your words as you speak them to me sweetly
Could you please dip them in chocolate and slowly feed them to me
I'm coming to terms with missed opportunity
The wise mans a fool but knows far more than me
Sometimes it makes sense
Sometimes I catch a glimpse
But the throb in my temple won't allow me to think
So I'll stay in my box and compartmentalize my fears
My joys
My insecurities
It's safe in here
It's freedom
It sits beside me along with regrets and past tests
Didn't think that they mattered so I cheated along the way
Cheated myself straight into this common gray
I felt I said it all so I put down my pen
No use trying to squeeze water from a rock again and again
Instead I hang on your words as you speak them to me sweetly
Could you please dip them in chocolate and slowly feed them to me
I'm coming to terms with missed opportunity
The wise mans a fool but knows far more than me
Sometimes it makes sense
Sometimes I catch a glimpse
But the throb in my temple won't allow me to think
So I'll stay in my box and compartmentalize my fears
My joys
My insecurities
It's safe in here
It's freedom

The Same
And in the end we are all the same
We turn to dust we shed our shame
We hope we loved and were loved the same
We hope our lives were not lived in vain
And at the start we are all the same
We thought our hearts purity would sustain
Our eyes were wide we judged all the same
And all who looked upon us were shed of pain
And in between so much was changed
Deprivation of growth from a lack of rain
Mysteries never revealed what's plain
We could never cover up that mortal stain
And what was learned and what was sought
Conflicted all that was taught
A lesson for you a lesson for me
We are not the same
We were never the same
We turn to dust we shed our shame
We hope we loved and were loved the same
We hope our lives were not lived in vain
And at the start we are all the same
We thought our hearts purity would sustain
Our eyes were wide we judged all the same
And all who looked upon us were shed of pain
And in between so much was changed
Deprivation of growth from a lack of rain
Mysteries never revealed what's plain
We could never cover up that mortal stain
And what was learned and what was sought
Conflicted all that was taught
A lesson for you a lesson for me
We are not the same
We were never the same
