"She was beautiful, in the quiet way that lonely, unnoticed people are beautiful to those who notice them."

Lord boy you’re killing me
And I swear you know just how
To make me cry
I guess it’s not that hard
Tears come naturally to you
Unlike the happiness
Which you can’t understand
And you’re not sure where
Inside of me
It begins
Because you are no catalyst
No beacon of light
You are so sure
That there must be someone else
Lifting me
Giving me what you can’t give
Truthfully – there is
Someone who loves me
Gives me what I deserve
Tells me I’m beautiful
Never fails to make me smile
There is someone, boy
Someone you can’t chase away
Someone who doesn’t fear you
Someone who you shouldn’t fear at all
Because it’s me
And I think that scares you
More than any stupid boy ever could
You are startled by my ability
To be happy on my lonesome
Afraid of my strength
You know I don’t need you
You know when I need reassurance
And someone to hold me
That I don’t run to you
And instead run to myself
Maybe that’s wrong
Maybe I should go to you
But why should I run to the person
Who is bringing me down
You know that I treat myself better
Than you can ever treat me
And you sure do make sure of it
Because, boy, you’re killing me
And I swear you know just how
To make me cry

What are you angry for?
Do you even know?
Where do you go to escape,
All this deep seeded hate?
Happiness is not always a smile
But it finds its way
Into everything you are
And that’s okay
It should be that way
But that means you keep telling lies
I may look dumb, but that’s just a disguise
So I can listen to the echoes of souls
Do not mistake anger for happiness
Do not mistake happiness for stupidity
Do you even know?
Where do you go to escape,
All this deep seeded hate?
Happiness is not always a smile
But it finds its way
Into everything you are
And that’s okay
It should be that way
But that means you keep telling lies
I may look dumb, but that’s just a disguise
So I can listen to the echoes of souls
Do not mistake anger for happiness
Do not mistake happiness for stupidity

I’m no perfect human being
It’s just me I’m being
And soon you’ll be seeing
Just what you had
I don’t pretend to know all
I don’t want to watch you fall
But you’re determined
So I won’t stop you
Maybe it’s not that one person’s right
Maybe it’s not that we fight
Perhaps we’re just different
It could be simple
How long are you going to hold on
Even if we both know it’s wrong
Sometimes you have to let go
But what do I know?

Blinded bats navigate the light
Feeling their way home
You walked right into the sun
Mistakenly thinking you could fly
Feeling their way home
You walked right into the sun
Mistakenly thinking you could fly

I gently shake you
To wake you
Up
I lay kisses on your eyes
You open your eyes
Slightly
You turn over on your side
Try to hide
Everything
You tell me to shut up
You shut me down
Every night
It’s funny how
When your subconscious appears
Your love disappears
And out come the tears
From my skies
Don’t “they” say
That it works this way:
Your true feelings show
When your conscious lets go
So…
What excuse do you have now?
