now is darker in the day
i can see so much more than then
but before me is the now and again
i can try to believe it's the same as when
nothing new and so few we're the same
easy to deceive with eyes shut tight
but before me open eyed in sight
now the joke i see true not real this night
i conceal what is real to me in dark
but before it all came as when here
it was shown to be false then come clear
as the day just as night frightly feared
but to me to be feared in the day
i conceal what is real to me in dark
nothing new and so few we're the same
look to then and then before
now is darker in the day

selfish
could i find another sight?
one that’s brighter than this view
i speak to no one
i cannot tell the truth
when i’m speaking to myself
i’m dodging everybody else
is there consequence to this?
a step inside my bitter mouth
i lie to no one
i cannot bear to lie
can i bear to hear the truth?
those hurtful words could break me apart
i’m seeing nothing
i’m seeing everything at once
when i’m down inside myself
i’m dodging everybody else
i am feeling something wrong
it’s been inside me for too long
i’m too weak to lift this weight
it’s so much easier to hate myself
and love everybody else

cop-out
some people have nothing to say
what message does that convey?
you have nothing to say
at least that’s what you said
there must be something
alive in your head
i watch your eyes dilate
your thoughts go unread
you don’t speak
you chew on your nails instead
you want me to pry
all this pain out of you
i see your eyes pleading
when you stand in my view
i tell you to speak
it’s all i can do
you say it’s nothing
but your eyes tell the truth

longing
i’m the one star
beside the crescent moon at dusk
the crescent moon ignores me
do you wonder who i am?
up inside my emptiness
i long to be with you
down from where you are
it must look beautiful
one solitary star
inside a barren hazy blue
but up inside my emptiness
i long to be with you

katie's song
you don't have to be scared of me
have a little faith in me
you can find your way
in this hazy day
let me be your company
have a little faith in me
don't run away to hide
your insecurity
don't push me out of your heart
have a little faith in me tonight
all I want is to hold you
I think you do too
let the love come pour through you
and I'll have a little faith in you

can it go straight?
i’m not sarcastic
most of the time
when you say it is
it is... right?
i was not honest
i didn’t lie
when you said i did
i did... alright?
can it go straight?
can we speak eye to mouth?
you can watch
my words come true
it was not accurate
at the time
but truths change colour
and i predicted it just fine

shiny, shiny reflection girl

stay, stay away from my space
get your light away from here
don’t, don’t invade my world
my tiny little sphere
i felt much more stable
before you came over here

3rd
working hard just to hear a yes
preparing for a let down, unsure of success
high hopes in lower standards
third try on a second guess
heartbroken from receiving a denial
quickly mended for another trial
a ray of sunshine through a broken cloud
comes to burn me
come on and burn me
always burned by happiness
third degree scarred across my chest
third try on a second guess
one more try, and then i’ll rest
i always miss the first
but the first isn’t always the best

insomnia
i’m growing tired
thinking’s catching up to me
can’t lift my head to see
the sun which shines it’s light on me
overtired and jealous
but happy when i get your attention
wondering seems to get me down
but yr smile lifts me up again
i seem to like this pattern
i’ve found a comfort in the yin-yang game
maybe if i sleep
i’ll see yr face again
you wished me happy dreams tonight
this insomnia i need to fight
sleeping always makes me feel alright
i need to clarify my sight
you wished me happy dreams tonight

eternity
you're the only good thought
which enters my mind
through many long nights
of open eyes and wet tears
with your long hair
and beautiful eyes
which stare me down
each time I peer
at your pictures I collected
to say I love you
just doesn't seem
to express it enough
the feelings which are held
deep inside
only for you my love
I will love you till eternity and on

hoping i’m a nice guy
jealous of the nice guy
he’s treating you kindly
wanting for the nice guy
to tag along blindly
nice guy is sad cuz
yr hitched up with the bad guy
but you won’t lose heart
the bad guy doesn’t want it
this is really good for you
but the nice guy wants to be happy too
confused over stupid things humans do
nice guy hopes that bad guy treats you kindly too
best of both worlds
you are gaming in the middle
grip around both worlds
you are gaming in the middle
nice guy is sad cuz
you are gaming in the middle
taking advantage
you are gaming in the middle

squirrel
standing alone
under a barren tree
watching squirrels run
one comes up to me
it has your eyes
it looks at me in fear
is it a squirrel?
or are you always here?
walking through tall grass
watching the sun go down
the wind is howling
it seems to surround
it has your voice
it speaks of love and fear
is it the wind?
or are you always here?
I love your voice
you speak with love and fear
wherever I may be
it seems you're always here

outside (London)
outside
the rain comes down
it soaks the ground
and sirens sound like sick birds
I'm scared
of going home
if you were here
you'd say that you love rainbows
you'd say that you love rain
I'd say that I love you
three years
ago my tarot said that I'm an eagle
are you also?
outside
the rain comes down
it soaks the trees
it gives them hope
to grow new leaves
squirrels like them with leaves
I'd say that I love squirrels
you'd say that you love rain
we'd say that we love trees
I hope that we're both eagles
we'd say we love each other

guardian from fears
a symbol of peace
like sleeping eyes
or a sunlit tree
implicates itself in my dreams
last night
and 200 years ago
i held four of my teeth
in my cracking palm
crying to moisten my skin
shivering to warm my fears
thawing them into hopes
somewhere inside me
was this small symbol
this shining tree
behind my sleeping eyes
though my instincts
my wisdom
crumbled into my hands
this silhouette of peace
lived in me
kept me safe

listening to the wind
little girls sing to me
the wind is little girls
they are outside my window
blowing on my curtain
I sit here and listen
chewing on my nails
wearing only boxers
and I am feeling cold
the little girls tell me
that I'm supposed to love you
if you're wearing clothes or not
I'm supposed to love you

right now I am feeling down
and i can tell my eyes are brown
it's times like this I wish I had you here
right now I am feeling down
my hand's too shaky to write this down
it's times like this I wish I had you here
I keep on looking at the door
I keep on looking through the drawers
it seems that you aren't anywhere in sights
I keep on looking at the door
hoping someone will come in who scored
I just wish I had you here

let me say i love you
it shouldn’t take to long
i can’t complicate things
i am not that strong
my mind is tornado
funneling around you
does the spinning make you dizzy
have i made you fall for me
