-
paint the smile onto my face.
cracked like plaster
broken like shattered glass
eyes filled with tears
just paint it on.
ignore the hole in your heart
bludgeon the thoughts of being free
pick up the knife
and just paint it on
eyes see all
but mine know nothing
- - - -
hidden soul
escape your hovel
spread out the weak hands
don't turn from the light
clouded eyes of murky blue
blind to the truth
spread the wings that are torn
count your breaths
take a step
show the world
just exactly who you are
- - - -
bits of string
i'm held together by nothing more than
my hopes and dreams
simply brittle strings
tugged and broken by the shadows
of fate.
- - - -
one sky.
under the same sky, the moon shines differently
you see a face
i see memories
- - - -
gilded wings melted in the eyes of god
we keep trying to fix it--
better yet, i keep trying to fix it.
with our eyes to the sky, we can only wonder
how close we can fly to the sun
before our wax wings will melt
but isn't it strange? the closer i get to the sun
the farther away it seems
maybe what i want is unattainable
maybe you just don't see the world like i do
live like me for a day
see how i feel
because the day will come when my wings will melt
the day will come when your wonderful dream will crumble
the day those fantasies will fail to become realities
the day that your golden wings crumble to nothing but the remains of ash
but by that time
won't it be funny when you realize that
i've already fallen too hard to think about fixing you.
for why should someone held together by tape fix the one made of glass?
- - - -
starfaced.
twinkling brightly
those eyes of yours could kill
the crooked smile of yours
innocence is your biggest crime
warm embraces
morphine kisses
ignore the glare of artificial light
face the sky
when i've gone falling
don't look back
you're a starfaced beauty
and i was the frog.
