Hands held tight in the middle of the night/
I love you makes everything alright/
And I fall...
But not all that far.
I was already there/
When you looked at me.
Blue on blue on these midnight streets.
It's like an arrow set on fire/
The flames grow bright, strong, and wild.
It's like kerosene, match, and spark/
The night is red and our days are marked.
Feathers ruffle lose in my hair/
You grab my waist and we dance like a dare.
I've never been that good and you always knew/
But I don't care when your skins on mine/
Red on red together we shine.
There goes the street/
Flames dark red and neat.
There goes you/
There goes me.
There goes the shadows burning blue and green/
There goes all that's been unseen.
Blue on blue on these midnight streets...

Stay
When it gets the hardest, fight a little harder.
When I can't hear God, I need to believe a little stronger.
When I get pushed I will not stay down.
And if you can't see the starlight then you can't see me now.
When they cut me and my blood pours.
I'll patch myself up and reach for my sword.
I can't see everyone but I sure can see you.
Come on, hold my hand, there's not much more we can do.
If you say that you care, will it make me feel whole?
If you touch my heart will it repair my soul?
If you went away would I even cry?
Could you wipe my tears through the moonlit sky?
Help me rise after I fall.
I can do a lot, but I can't conquer it all.
And I could do it all alone but why would I?
Will you help me thrive or watch me die?
When it gets the hardest, let's saddle it up.
Scream for more until they shut us up.
When I get pushed don't just stand there and smile.
Give me your time, make it worth my while.
And if we watch the stars together beneath a leafless tree.
Will you teach me to breathe?
Will you stay forever with me?
Something that has echoed through my mind time and time again. Will you stay forever with me? No one knows for sure but I guess that's what blind trust is for. Trusting someone is loving them with every bit of yourself never knowing if their love will ever be fully returned to you. Trusting someone is giving them the knife, holding it to your throat, and believing they won't slip. Trusting someone means that if you are in a whole lot of trouble you know that the one you love isn't just sitting back and watching but only planning your rescue. Trusting someone is knowing that they will constantly lift you to the next level instead of drowning you at your already weakest moment. Trusting someone is to know they won't just abandon you in quicksand because it would be so much easier to find someone else. Trusting someone is believing that they think they don't deserve you but secretly knowing they deserve more than you could ever give. Trusting someone is to put your faith and belief and love into them without even expecting them to do the same for you. We just hope. Purely, innocently, and simply. Hope. And with it the world goes around.

Sitting On Gold
That old pendulum swings now/
It has always stood so still/
It waited in silence/
Almost poised to kill.
Beautiful in gold/
A beautiful dart/
An unwed band/
A work of art.
Stand in the quiet/
Life is on pause/
Sing to yourself/
Sing for a cause.
Kiss me in water/
Kiss the dry air/
Know when we get there/
We'll still be nowhere.
Lost in hot sand/
Just like when the princess had went blind/
You'll search the high seas/
For something you'll never find.
Raped by the prince/
Raped from what is safe/
Raped for sleeping still/
Cursed by love and fate.
Oh, the breath has been taken/
By vanity and pride/
Tighten the white corset/
Around the unknowing bride.
The truth is never told/
When you can't let it fail/
It brings out the evil/
In the ones that we hail.
So you threw it away/
For something you hate/
Now your heart bleeds black/
And it's far too late.
You used to be a king/
Sitting on gold/
Now you have fallen hard/
With the demons you hold.
It has always stood so still/
It waited in silence/
Almost poised to kill.
Beautiful in gold/
A beautiful dart/
An unwed band/
A work of art.
Stand in the quiet/
Life is on pause/
Sing to yourself/
Sing for a cause.
Kiss me in water/
Kiss the dry air/
Know when we get there/
We'll still be nowhere.
Lost in hot sand/
Just like when the princess had went blind/
You'll search the high seas/
For something you'll never find.
Raped by the prince/
Raped from what is safe/
Raped for sleeping still/
Cursed by love and fate.
Oh, the breath has been taken/
By vanity and pride/
Tighten the white corset/
Around the unknowing bride.
The truth is never told/
When you can't let it fail/
It brings out the evil/
In the ones that we hail.
So you threw it away/
For something you hate/
Now your heart bleeds black/
And it's far too late.
You used to be a king/
Sitting on gold/
Now you have fallen hard/
With the demons you hold.
