Light is only measured by the lens of your eye
time is only measured by the length of your life
let me reap what I sew
black and blue indigo
paint me red like violet pink like cyan glow
paint me out the picture
with your burning brush turpentine
let me cast a silhouette on all the love
that you made mineral for
so long my senses are gone
defences are lost
it’s my sentence to serve
my penance to earn
love sent me below
my porcelain cell
if there’s poison in the water
there’s poison in the well
left to bleed
no more air left to breathe
let me reap what I sew
black and blue indigo
paint me red like violet pink like cyan glow

Got burned for playing with fire
got shamed for showing my heart
I shed no tears when im crying
no drops t bleed there’s no blood
But I try
to be happy in my helpless mind
to be hopeful that we won’t capsize
with every tear drop that I cry
I will try to drain the life out of every lie
I will tell to keep the pain inside
I feel no shame for you feelings
I see your face in the sand
a clock wound back with not heal it
I cannot meet your demand
but I try
to be happy in my helpless mind
to be hopeful that we won’t capsize
with every tear drop that I cry
I will try to drain the life out of every lie
I will tell to keep the pain inside

I just wanna be real
Sadness holds me hostage when you’re near
Like a depression machine
A picture of good health when I go deep
It’s only when o get down
People get pretending I’m a frown
Coping with a disease
But the bright light can’t protect me from a
10mile stare
When I’m not there
Blue mist in my head
Anxiety was made for me I guess
I keep on the inside
Smiling through my broken teeth again
But when I cross the line
I lose myself u leash pure bitter hell
It’s only when I get down
People keep pretending I’m a grown
Coping with a disease
But the bright light can’t protect me from a
10mile stare
When I’m not there
Blue mist in my head
Anxiety was made for me I guess
No memory for forgetting
No commitment in your presence
No solution to the struggle
No forgiveness for your penance

Oh baby when you’re talking I can feel a cloud
that’s turning dark
waiting for the first raindrop
dripping down my face and filling up
trying hard but it won’t stop raining
till you shut up and let me go
stop beating on my heart
now and then I get a window
showing me a field and summer sun
oh when I go to sleep
clouds splitting full of sleet until it snows
I’ve been dreaming of a time
I’m sleeping with a smile
when I’m alone
but you’re beating on my heart
like a bass drum
I can feel the storm
I can feel it coming on
I can feel my heart
beating like a Tommy gun
I can’t keep my calm
Maybe I should end it all
Picture this I know it’s hard
But I used to be happy
Some years ago
Oh baby when you start
You make me disappear into the snow
Maybe I was wrong
Messing with friend
I’m for the end
To take me home
Please stop beating on my heart like a bass drum

Home living in my heart
missing now your gone
and I fall apart
don’t ever show your age
the ember never fades
when your wide awake
Just..
Don’t say sorry
And don’t you worry
I know your days are gone
but your soul lives on
I’ll never let you go
you’ll never be alone
the show must go on
tears rolling down your face
some things never change
we all fade away
I promise to be strong
I know it won’t be long
Till my time is gone
Don’t say sorry
And don’t you worry
I know your days are gone
but your soul lives on

The ghost you left is still inside me
It pulls me out of every meeting
in the pouring rain I get so love sick
a 10 mile stare back to your bed
every time you call I’m awake
keep me still but don’t make me wake I
take me home back then in the past
this goodnight could be the last
you were the first to drink me under
we threw down hard and talked till morning
I left town young and left you back
a loaded gun a broken passion
every time you call I’m awake
keep me still but don’t make me wake
take me home back then in the past
this goodnight could be the last
year on year on

I wish I could be anyone
anyone but me
I wish that I could disappear anytime I sleep
and when I see a satellite
high above the sun
I wish I could live a better life but I find myself numb
singing
isn’t that a big shame
that you promised me your heart
you hit me like a freight train
now the damage has been done
And I promised that I wouldn’t cry
are you satisfied with me
now and then I get a little lost
a little harder to see
you melt me like an icecap
you’re the alibi I need
trying not to let it hurt again
but it’s starting to bleed
singing
isn’t that a big shame
that you promised me your heart
you hit me like a freight train
now the damage has been done
I keep trying to let the blood drain
but your coming back for more
isn’t that a big shame
that you promised me your heart
you hit me like a freight train
now the damage has been done
I keep trying to let the blood drain
but your coming back for more

I keep falling backwards and it never ends
but it’s cool
as long as your next to me
feel love in lightyears
in the summer air
and it’s cool
the way you’re affecting me
cut me out and let me feel the pain
make me never wanna live again
try to tell me who I wanna be
my real friends are my enemies
things are never gonna feel the same
the dead of night will now become the day
try to tell me who I wanna be
I just wanna be
alone
I keep counting forwards
till the ticker melts
but it’s cool
as long as you’re next to me
your kiss keeps leaving bruises on my heavy heart
but it’s cool
the way you’re affecting me
cut me out and let me feel the pain
make me never w hi anna live again
try to tell me who I wanna be
my real friends are my enemies
things are never gonna feel the same
the dead of night will now become the day
try to tell me who I wanna be
I just wanna be
alone
simmer down
you won’t make sound
I keep on drowning
You’re holding me down

I refuse
I refuse to be your dog
I’m a fool
I was foolish from the start
What you find in the dark
Outshines my broken heart
What do you feel
When you extract my soul
it’s a noose
it’s a noose of self control
Don’t scared of the dark
you could Mend my broken heart
so don’t say you think that you can feel it
cos you don’t
what’s the truth
well the truth is I was hurt
by the way that you talk
you can mend my broken heart

I saw a fire in an empty room
From red to yellow turning black so soon
And in the mirror I could see my face
Suffocating let the fumes embrace
in the autumn of my years
let the wine flow sweet and clear
into the fray we disappear
for love
wait a minute
let me catch my breathe
a life with meaning must embrace a death in
so cold to touch
but full of warmth in blood
we tried to make it but we fell so short
in the autumn of my years
let the wine flow sweet and clear
into the fray we disappear
for love

I remember in my childhood near a village there was a place full of dead trees, red and dead from all the chemicals that were dumped into the nearby bay from the chemical plant. That's exactly the vibes I get from this effort, similar in story or not. Morbid! But hopefully a wake up call for some as well.
