    forever subliminal

    defeat of emotions brought us
    so far apart but so far together
    it was all bad weather
    the world was scary, baby
    scary without you, i knew all i wanted
    all i needed, but you were lost
    but i loved you at any cost

    the greatest casualty brought us
    so far so gone, so much agony, but baby i knew
    i just knew, you were gone
    your eyes were sad and cold
    not sultry and vivid of great detail
    not gold, green
    but poetry so bad and beyond sold

    you said, what are you looking at
    i laughed and you questioned
    i said nothing and went with it
    i knew you were sad, yet i wanted you
    i wanted you so happy, i guess i knew
    that you were so unhappy
    everything was subliminal
    everything’s always in our subconscious
    maybe you’ll understand
    but gravity made you unconscious

    one day i know you will, i promise
    you know i promise
    i never break, but you broke me
    i promise, i’ll never break
    my promises of love for you
    i swear to the power of all
    greatness, that i’ll love you forever

    your sad eyes, i’ll love them forever
    your sad eyes, i’ll know them forever
    your sad voice, i’ll know it
    i’ll know you forever

    i’ll know this pain forever
    i’ll know this forever

    road to the bay

    so low in the road
    down by the old shop
    where we used to go
    in a time
    when life was free
    you were wild
    and i was me

    unsure how we got here
    unsure how we were
    guess i’ll never know
    but i guess that’s so

    how about we replay this
    undo what we did
    and redo it all over again
    or i guess you could leave me at bay
    again

    fall in and out
    amnesia couldn’t stop me now
    are we different now
    can i take you out
    or are you beginning to doubt
    don’t cash out

    positively recharge and ignore
    all the negative we did
    you’re the chief executive
    but i guess
    maybe it was needed
    maybe it was frivolous
    is there even a need to address

    stop now and tell me
    all about how we were
    i loved and you didn’t
    that’s life
    guess you found the knife

    did you mean to hurt
    platonic love was nothing
    just some demonic love to dispose of
    guess that’s how it goes
    down the lonely road

    love forever
    until the end
    sorry forever
    until the end

    bid adieu

    never overthought even though i was distraught
    but i bid adieu
    to us and to you
    who knew i grew

    i was your keeper, lover, believer and driver
    lived for you, kept for you, believed in you
    wanted to drive you to everything you wanted
    but all i did was grow haunted

    you had those sad eyes, in the deep
    black sea of importance, that was all you knew
    i wish you could agree
    looking now, did you know
    how sad you were
    even so, it was essentially a blur

    positively wrong for assuming
    but what’s wrong is fifty-fifty
    and right wasn’t always right
    wrong wasn’t always wrong
    cause i knew

    oh honey, i knew
    told me to stop assuming
    assuming led to nothing, but baby
    i swear i knew

    i loved your deep sad eyes
    looking back
    what color were they
    all i saw was sadness

    it was summertime and all i saw was sad
    they talked about summertime sadness
    but yours were eternal
    and i never knew why
    you never spoke of it
    never let me in

    positively that’s what broke and tore
    limb from limb
    heart from heart
    but they were never intertwined
    you never let me in

    sad eyes journey

    your sad eyes
    were the window
    to which you never spoke

    i saw it all, i truly did
    inconsistencies in what was said
    the feeling of what was so rural
    might have been just a mural
    to the blankness and frankness
    to your soul
    just a hole to darkness
    was basically cortisone

    a shot to the life force
    of your language which was so hoarse
    always laid down to rest
    so help me express

    from life itself
    what you didn’t know
    didn’t take a blow
    didn’t hurt you in the end
    but you sat so alone
    in the plane to find your soul
    i wonder if you thought of me at all
    in that journey to find your soul

    fourth of july

    love lusted after immorality in this world
    the intelligence lusted after pure gold
    what was the difference
    i guess the absence
    or forgiveness
    i just wanted it to commence
    find the end
    so i could come back again

    morals told me i was wrong
    even the exhausting result
    it was like florals
    fabric
    the flowers looked real
    yet it was just floral

    everything was wrong
    nothing was essentially something
    just a twenty-something soul
    lost in the hollywood bowl
    playing a game of the lonely old only

    blew out what was there
    said goodbye
    and drifted on for the goodbye
    looked at the blue sky
    waited for the night and took a red eye

    might have been a good guy
    next time i won’t meet someone
    around the fourth of july

    in the night

    darkness of the forest
    seer of the night
    i only ever knew you
    into the night

    rare day moments
    secluded in the night
    were you ever mine
    glisten under the pale moonlight

    plane by day
    ruler of the night
    can i see you in the daylight

    forever risen
    take catalina by ride
    hike into my soul
    like i hike into the night

    dark forest glances
    distracted by ever so soft nervous actions
    rough tough gashes
    slight headboard bashes

    couldn’t see sad red eyes
    as i lie beside

    time vs. alarm

    alarm
    didn’t wake you up
    but i heard it
    even though it was on silent
    i heard it

    your heartbeat’s steady
    but i hear it
    can you hear mine
    the alarm
    to the soul and body
    of what was once

    rapidly aware
    but not as rapid as your exit
    to this
    your ill intelligent
    use of common sense
    the ideas and creations
    of us

    that was so hard
    abnormal to us
    unintentional was your game
    but the alarm never went off
    or did it
    guess it was silent

    like the words when you left
    said you’ll talk soon
    but it was never again

    happy birthday
    said thanks
    but no more
    no word
    guess you got what you wanted
    i couldn’t make you feel wanted

    everybody but nobody
    at the same moment
    you were everybody
    but nobody
    at the same exact moment

    one day you’ll hear the alarm
    possibly it’ll hear you
    calling for help
    don’t expect me to be there
    but i probably will
