matchbook eyes (old lyrics)

people with matchbook eyes

can’t understand which way we tick

seven strikes on film

like the broken bird upon your chest

now I know

stumble through sober breaths

collapse those mirrors

“in love with a ghost”

In love with a ghost

Afraid of the world given to me

Breaking down a memory ward

Voices falling from heaven

Locked in trespass…a room…a prison meant to carry on

Faces scattering watching time burn

Sketching out the hidden souls before they disappear 

Look towards the sky but it’s all allusion 

Mistakes filmed beyond sources agonized through experiment  

Perspectives damages

Treating a disease falling from the asylum pushed past incurable regret 

Disordered thoughts avoiding destination 

Too blind to see the world

Voices demanding solitary confession

Collecting desires…pushing towards the hill

Treating the broken corners driven by unstable minds

Truth slipping away

Empathy washing away their skin

At the gates I can see their faces

Voices breaking down these fences of my heart

Shaking a bell to heaven…don’t let it burn from implication

“skin shedding newspaper print”

Colors masquerade to pivot the clocks

Statues drop through an epidemic

Well aware of the fault burning through the sun

Visions on their minds

Step across madness like discarded emotion

Skin shedding newspaper print like future traces

Shift and collapse to witness imagination

painted across windshields crushed  with desire

Like a book pressing on your imagination

Writing against a hope fascinating a million crowds

break my back to kickstart emotions fueling this crowd

Secrets belong across a billion billboards across the sky

Shaking words in your eyes to dissolve every ounce of doubt half-traced from the timeline

“a blinding light across the waters to bring us together”

lost in the damaged emotions charged against the wires in your mind

stand still across the skies in preservation

try to control my emotions while the world falls against the shores inside your voice

I gave you all my dreams to perspire without a trace

left in the blinding lights on this bridges watching the ground shake with sound

colors beating faster through the streets to trace the ghosts in my vision

you are all that is left on my mind

to write a million letters waiting for tomorrow

all the memories we had walking by like impacted monuments

breaking the footsteps in my mind to watch for the numbing of the needle

when the streets bleed for crime all I have is your voice in my mind

to shatter the glass with eloquence

visions so severe they draw me closer to a time when we can be together

the clicking of the clock across the only sky we had

walking away from everything that mattering hoping to find you

preserved by the only time we had

close our eyes and watch the blinding colors sheltering the voices we have left

we can’t control our emotions or conceal the only dreams we have

driving against the heartbeat of tomorrow across this bridge of time

skies echo like heaven you are my only light I can hold in my heart

the only hope in my heart holding me together through time

to break the needles through futility tearing a heaven so blinding

ingest our youth and pray for tomorrow

my only light carrying me up the hills in the sky

marching across secrecy the footsteps break apart like balloons

struggle for existence but you build me stronger

even emotion like quicksand sinking all the pain away

don’t control the pain because you are all I have left to carry me across the ocean

ships that sail the waves of hope  cast the sail towards the sky

march for what matters

march for what matters


a blinding light across the waters to bring us together

I have found a dream in your secrecy

to take your voice numbing my skin

preserving the final ghost to taste my youth

I can’t replace you

I can’t replace you

you are everything that matters

breaking the needle against the mirror finding my tomorrow

march for what matters don’t let them push you away

break the glass against motorcade

lights that burn with futility

sleeping on top of the sky watching the stars building us stronger

break the needles against the mirrors of time

“pulling us through eternity”

breaking the wing apart through violet walls, driven past devastation

shattering the glass sky between stars burning in your mind 

don’t withhold your heart when they break you to the ground

watching the sunset behind accomplishments written in the haunting waves

headlights flash through discarded breath between windows lost behind wheels that shine in your forecast

the time it takes to run towards the shore and ingest the last memories of summer

coming against the needle breaking apart against a fallen passenger

can’t stop the damaged days until we hear the storms in the lighthouse

can’t stop the damaged days until we find the walls pushing us past limits in the horizon

walking across green oceans to trespass without illusions

fueling up before another crash pulling us together like ropes in binding dreams

chemical control rooms gone astray like the reception in hospital wards

chemical control rooms bleeding apart like crystalized perception casting the hue building across city lights

when we broke futility across the collapsed bridges running from the car crash into your arms

when they saw the flames burning in your eyes half disrespected

bending the note against a time everlasting between the intersections of hallways secluded before perspiration

falling through the ocean skies breaking glass against your heart pulling us through eternity

Don’t Harsh my Mellow II

walking down the street to find my way through the damaged halls

look up at the sky to find a million colors standing in the sky

to remember why we trespass on top of the emotional divide

like acrobats spinning across wires in their minds

breaking all the words in their heads like texturized emotion

on top of the lighthouse matching illusion with the seas of aqua waves building higher and higher

open up all the values of transcending collapse

bursting with emotion on top of the mirrors edge

like a razor running across the seascape

walking across the waves like fences broken like crystalized glass amplified by secrets driven past a witness in the boathouse

illusions building deeper and deeper

lost as sea behind a shipwrecked skyline

A way out above the sky

above the stars in your mind

ships that sail across the ocean illuminating everlasting emotions in your memorized visions like trespass

encrypted memories

faceless against the illuminated ocean mirrors

footprints burn away damaged voices lost behind broken bridges of our past like inscriptions witnessed under motorcade beyond cathedral skies

finding aging film lost behind secured rooms decoded like time-lapsed encrypted memories

every transparent wire bending by bursting matches striked by Parallax

prescriptions written by bursting wheels calculating divisional inspiration through unheard amplified lenses

jumping through trampolines generating blue and green visions forecasting a secret storm

emotions transpired through the rising tides like fingerprinted distances blinding my tomorrow

08/08/2020

watering the sky

I can hear the burning memories through the window

all the days pacing through your heart

when they start to step outside to realize

the sun starts to amplify

when the wind starts to damage the illumination

all the pressure building in your wings

All this desire pushing you higher

When the sky was blue and our dreams were high

a crack in the introspection

when dreams perspire in the distant without contrast

when memories walk through an echoing sky breaking a million mirrors

digging for lost damage in their lenses

breaking buildings behind their mind

create the forecast of comprehension to silence the pain

they fly across the painted ocean with flashlights in their hands

ride through the spinning Ferris wheels without emotional restrictions

breaking all the filters to grow across a dream

fishing through the silver skies

don’t capsize this ability

words won’t come out from their mouth

mirrors bending in the rain

when we can’t control this world on our own

burning the past away

“conquering every dream under escaping collapse”

trapped beyond recognized collapsing rain

the stillness of encryption written in lost magazines

damaged colors in the rain scream from the illuminated screens in your eyes

saving souls with medicated half-lives against written frequencies

withstand the silence when people fall through processed skies

the turmoil burning through your face breaks a million faults of image

a charade of instinct breaking aging keys to heaven

whispers burning against amplified skin

a sense of distracted damage on the streets of ultraviolet streets without a collapsed mirror reflection

break through unheard risks of observed protested manipulations

kneeling against saving angels falling from broken photographs

conversations controlled by television screens

withdrawing from a trauma digging under chloroformed visions captured by a telescopic hue

a lost impact behind the aged paradise

windows that control the future of mankind

cars falling from tomorrow to withstand your beauty

unlocking possibilities without a hue we can understand

a gift they clench from the sky to keep away strangers from the future

to crash a discipled ghost lost in their minds

angels unheard under a hidden eye they watch from stormy eloquences

stumbling colors that find their way across lakes written behind comprehension

reflections unstable to detailed paintings in your eyes… can’t catch the spinning mirrors of time

cathedral walls design a future burning from a lost liberty

voices that crack against controlled relapses aging escape

destroying futility with thoughts from recreated skies

victims conquer amnesty written against absolved paper shaded through value without definition

comprehending times of instability conquering every dream come true
