Dancing in the dark Between the river & the spark Afraid of the sun Of becoming undone Holding my fist in the air

Floating in a wave of obscurity My heart is a world of secrecy Giving my hopes to the wind Relinquishing my dreams for clarit… I never meant to hurt you

Twenty five Afraid to live Afraid to tempt fate To want what others have– How sinful of me

Killing questions with shade Sipping cool-aid under palm trees Watching haters burn & fade Into the sea Dancing stupid under flashing ligh…

Wondering what I did wrong? What’d I say to make you walk awa… I guess we both weren’t strong eno… Maybe we’re better off this way Me sitting alone in my apartment

Swimming in a sea of wonder Waking to the crash of thunder Running till the fear ceases And light creases Bending but never breaking

Staring into your auburn eyes Wishing I could bathe in your lov… Dreaming of you when I’m awake My head spins whenever we kiss My Body quakes

Painting skies In hazy eyes Writing lullabies Watching truth become a lie Hungry for a morsel of honesty

Reaching in the frigid cold Searching for a hand to hold To give me hope To give me strength In the hallows of my mind

Dying a little bit each day I’m a… Yearning for your touch Like the desert yearns for rain Trying to pretend I don’t need yo… That I don’t miss you

Dreaming in black & white Bracing for a fight Chasing shadows through the night Trying to avoid all light For fear of being hated

Feel the need to dance away Feel the need to sail away Flying over tree tops My mind all in knots Feel the urgency to runaway
