Alis Volat Propris

she smiles a true, honest smile
sends her love to those who need it
She sees out of the corner of her eye,
or sometimes full on
Watches him ignore her
A fire scorches her, scars throb
She'll never open up to him again
Never show him how much
It kills her daily
It will get easier, easier to
Not let little things slip
Like the jaded blue flashing
In her eyes
A clenched fist
An open mouth remembering
It will get easier
To the point only the deepest
Lost hours of time
Will allow for her to breakdown
And scream to the walls
It will get easier
It will, it will just take some time
It will get easier

Here - I hold the ground in my hand
Look - it begins to crumble
A lovely girl will mumble
As that beautiful boy turns away
The ghost of a bed where she used to lay
Once composed but now - who knows?
She gains her composure
After an explosive exposure
So she beings to retract
Pushing dream from fact
After all the sadness she has known
Her love wont ever be shown
To he who she respects
A heart needed to protect
There will be no magic to see
When he's passing by me
His presence breaks my heart
But he'll never see me fall apart

Things are chill, things are fine
Enjoying the result of a contact high
Simply watching you walk by
My bad - I mean the smokey haze
Of remembering the better days
Like when I began to feel this craze
And didn't know how to contain it
Didn't try to refrain it
And now I'm livin' with no regret
Hey, with time I'll almost forget
It's such a tragedy, such a shame
But the picture don't fit the frame
And love should never be tame
Yeah, troubles and heartbreak
We all have that scar that aches
But, fuck, gotta learn to see the diamond
In the rough, life is tough
But I'm out of the game, no time to bluff
You're something that's nothing that really
Is everything but right for me
So take a seat and watch me fly
Mister, you're just another guy
Working hard at livin' to eventually die
