Shower Floor Nights

Please Remind me
Of how dark turns to light
How the sky's not always grey
And how I have to win this fight
Cause those shower floor nights
The steam of your scream
Left my brokenness there
But it still in my bloodstream
Not a fleeting thought
or a haunting ghost
It's the peace at last
Oh the quietness
Oh the quietness
Cloaked like the reaper
Hidden where crows don't fly
I just fell in his hole
He waited for my cry
Footsteps follow my escape
A shadow leering behind
He can't take me
They can't be mine
Not a fleeting thought
or a haunting ghost
It's the peace at last
Oh the quietness
Oh the quietness
But a pounce is only
For a second then gone
Life is but a glimmer
That's rarely shown
The relief of the silence
And darkness that fled
His voice is gone
And his feet don't tread
His voice is gone and his feet don't tread
His voice is gone and his feet don't tread
Dangerous thoughts
In a dangerous time
All along
The shadow was mine
Not a fleeting thought
or a haunting ghost
It's the peace at last
Oh the quietness
Oh the quietness

The backlights dimly glow
Counting the price of our time alone
Oh it won't last I know
Once you make it back home
So close again is but a tease
This bittersweet moment of blissful glee
Wraps its web around me
And pulls me down to my knees
Our time in up as you stumble in
A homely house that no longer is
Again it's gone and the numbers spin
It doesn't matter how long it's been
The pain is back and it's going to last
Reminding me of a forgotten past
Flooding back so fucking fast
Because for a moment you were back in my grasp

Dreaming of You

And I cry out for I have succumb to the inner demons of my mind
My inner poet is grinding its teeth, yearning to feel
Screaming out into the heavens having been overcome with grief
The ground is up at my chest yet I still got lower to kneel
Kneel down for you
And I feel my soul rain into this empty cage
Its tears soak my hollow while pouring out the sides
Please tell the bags my eyes have packed to leave for good this time
Because they come and go too often like the changing tides
Just like you changed your mind
Take me to the abyss that you fell in so long ago
Where the jagged edges bruised and cut you far too deep
But now we're lost in the mists which never seem to end
And just like every other, tonight I will burn in my sleep
Tonight I'm dreaming of you

With smoke in your eyes
And tears in mine
You say green never suited you
But now I'm colourblind
I shouted to the heavens
until my face turned blue
Because everything i knew
equated to you
I gave you my love
And you made my heart hurt
Because when i needed you
All I got was one word
Taken by surprise
With nothing left to say
Stuck confined
I just wanted you to stay
Hold your lighter to my heart
Singe the edge, Take me apart
Say there's nothing wrong with me
Then find somewhere better to be
I dug a rabbit hole
with no end for you
Because it was hard
to let you loose
But I let you go
And you didn't come back
Lost so long
I fell through the cracks
Say may name
Like you did last year
Because that's what
I've been learning to fear
You wont come back
But if you do
I need to be ready
To say no to you
Hold your lighter to my heart
Singe the edge, Take me apart
Say there's nothing wrong with me
Then find somewhere better to be
Hold your lighter to my heart
Singe the edge, Take me apart
Say there's nothing wrong with me
Then find somewhere better to be
This darkness in my core wont go away
I've never felt it there before
Brought in your baggage when you came to stay
From something so white and pure
I am an atomic bomb
With a short fuse burning long
You are the trigger pull
Happy finger ready to lose it all
You tossed me down the rabbit hole
Then collapsed all the walls behind
No way to escape now
I guess I should have seen the signs
Hold your lighter to my heart
Singe the edge, Take me apart
Say there's nothing wrong with me
Then find somewhere better to be

You asked me how I'd been
And I lied when i said I was fine
You asked me what I've been doing
And i lied when i said not wasting time
I faked a laugh
And you faked one right back
Because the world hurts a little less
When laughing at everything
You built up your wall
So you couldn't look my way
I said that I love you
And You said not today
You said i'm pathetic
I said i agree
Staring over this fissure
I swear you're standing where I used to be
Maybe ill jump
I cut my hair
I burnt my clothes
Broke my mirror
Trashed my home
You never loved me
I suppose
I cut my hair
I burnt my clothes
Broke my mirror
Trashed my home
You never loved me
I suppose
I cut my hair
I burnt my clothes
Broke my mirror
Trashed my home
You never loved me
I suppose
I cut my hair
I burnt my clothes
Broke my mirror
Trashed my home
You never loved me
I suppose
Broke my heart
I've made my bed
Day by day
I've slept in it
Pull my hair
Get out of my fucking head

Darling please don't cry
When you hear of my demise
It's the second time I have died
And I survived the first time
You've taken up residency in my mind
The eviction notice is on the door
But you've just gone deeper inside
As much as I need you I need you to leave
Why can't you leave?
There you are judging my every thought
Browsing my library of words unspoken
But I guess that all means nought
With my cuts open and my bones all broken
Why can't you leave?
You're gonna save lives I know
But consider me your first casualty
Please wear yellow to my funeral
To show just how happy I used to be
You've taken up residency in my mind
The eviction notice is on the door
But you've just gone deeper inside
As much as I need you I need you to leave
Why can't you leave?
There you are judging my every thought
Browsing my library of words unspoken
But I guess that all means nought
With my cuts open and my bones all broken
Why can't you leave?
For every part of me that hates you
There are another ten that love
You may wrong me but you can do no wrong
Because the truth is you embody every note in this song
