under the trap door we lose ourselves between chemical lies
all the colors of sadness disappear before creation
faces beyond interpretation to string my values
step to stand still against an emotional wall
dreams pressed so severe you leave me crawling against time
shake my introspection behind street scenes
paint the discoloration of a secondary relapse
push apart the sky with a gift burning for freedom
a skyscraper to dodge secrets buried from time
behind amplification pushing to describe a lost sequence
we need them here too long to understand
outstretch my hands to paint sidewalks because I miss you
lost in the streets to fall victim to sleep deficits
hide away from siren screams
men walk through supermarkets to reveal every moment left alive
you confuse love & morality but wear the same mask
blocked by the only passerby we duck every scene of your march to hold onto their life
We stare across secondary crowds to film seconds disarming from an outburst of rejuvenation

“The Color Wheel”
to make me feel again
clutch the atmosphere with this distant voice
memories lost in a criminal world
a mind to out-sharp the distance
burning before desire breaks every inch like brittle determination
stare at all the colors lodging from your back
all the colors of the fortitude
I caught a glimpse of your footstep
to out-shadow… to distrust
the dust of your refusal
a distance they refuse to touch
only in my mind you set me free
locked away for a hundred years
I feel the shadows reach out from the lake
to burn my freedom apart
when time hopes like an epidemic to witness
God at my feet
when you use your device to control my multiplicity
to embrace all my fears at once
to break apart the feeling lost in my heart
to stare at the dust…
when we used to feel in the dark
holes in their memory
when we witness pride
in the mirror’s garden every dream came true
to withstand the beauty to control
to walk across the bridge in magnitude
to color your dreams with mine
to witness the future
more than an obsession
more than an observation
every hour spreading from your wings
when we push all the colors apart
to choose the distance
to lose you forever
I’d rather be alive alone with this memory than to never have known
the color wheel
lost against your heart
the damage to leave so suddenly
all the days paved away in Gold
every hour we have had against the light
every word written in Heaven
I see you in every word broken through glass
like the butterflies stand for freedom
blue the color of your dreams
green every depth of your heartbeat
silver like the words lost in the wind
the calamity of your fortune
to recreate your heart across the sky
everyday of brilliance
written upon the stars
to outshine
to redefine this urgency
apart of the freedom locked behind harbor’s door
to suspend the disbelief written across your eyes
If I could withstand your beauty
trust can only happen now
I hear the sense drifting from your eyes
I hear a million frequencies written across the stars
to make me feel alive
to strike the match into the shadow’s eye
I see all the days define the broken pieces
we stay in this world
every vice determined
you are my fortitude
my final guidepost
to pull apart every secluded dream
a neon circus
I see you break down illuminated doors
to dream away tomorrow
you haunt my every move
“engaged to the only part of me”
black & stopped
I hear this face drowning me from the inside
I had a sense of freedom
trapped against the veil
all the voices reaching from the sand
tangled with this memory
can’t get away
can’t disguise my thoughts
I am inept to move past this regret
all the pieces lay against the floor
are you the only one left inside my mind?
can’t redefine it all
don’t we doubt falling through September
a piece of desire
I hurt myself against the mirror
all the days trapped behind silver screens
put apart a piece of all the rest to control my sense of urgency
If you went away to drive past this town
down to pack up my bags
does freedom every last?
stare against the screen
words floating against the sky
you inspire my every existence
to dissolve this ride of passage
to go on this time
all bridges we broke
to repeat the balance
to trap the desire
I’m losing this sound
a game I can’t play
to re-describe… to put it all away
numb my voice of all accusations
run through your town
I hear it all go away
words can’t describe my fate
to pick through the colors
to desaturate the forgiveness
save up my days to where we belonged
only you can make it true
engage my sense
stumble up & down to remember how we met
to get away from where we evolved
don’t tell me where I don’t belong
all the time burning in my head
the only way I can express myself
to dive into the balcony
to push apart every desire
to withstand every day defined
madness broken like a lost forecast
cars drive past every feeling inspired with freedom
stand on top of the buildings where we once belonged
still we smile like strangers
engaged to the only part of me
did you leave me in this place until now?
“Paint the Photographs on the Wall”
I’m staring through the window one more time
all the colors press against my heart
Every blue and white shapes the shadows away
all the days gone by
watch the ice strain through the distance
Children push their nets through the streets
Like a circus ring we never have to pretend
The games we used to play
run to whisper through the light
Light up the days
Christmas edges close in the air
when we used to dream in the dark
spark the light against the mismatched distance
everyday when we used to pray differently
if I could hold a difference through your eyes
Shake my lost understanding
I still see the outline against your back
all the bridges we used to break
I watch you paint the photographs on the wall
All the words breaking the shadows away
Colors bleed from you hand
Every part of imagination you persuade
When you used to remind me of the past
I never had to shut my mouth
Now I know the future is here to stay
The children don’t have to hide their words deep inside
If we could start this all over again
Suspend this time forever in our hearts
You make me wonder why
You make me wonder why
Everything that we could ever be
You just make me stronger
Everything that is possible
Like a ghost we walk the streets
I know things are better this time
Burn through the focus and stare against the light
Jump against the air
Doesn’t it feel right this way?
Doesn’t it feel right this way?
Shake the shadows into thin air
If I could feel again
Watch the horses cross the sky
Do they have secrets left to keep?
You never lied to me
I feel so much stronger in this place
I feel so much better
Forget when their words broke the glass against your heart
I know you make my dreams come
“Stare Through Medical Lies”
stare through medical lies
days lost
when they use our existence
remember when they broke down the bridges in San Francisco
take back the words that define the solider’s last command
I’m the one hurting to imagine it fall apart before your eyes
save every color fallen from your eyes
words burning through my head
pushing in all directions they shock every substantial lie burning across your skin
years leaving this town
years to prove my faith
shape every detail before we say farewell
before when they were so much better
when children watch ghosts locked away behind words on film
walk through the staircase and lie across the pages of every book in detail
lights burn away every chemical misunderstood
imagination locked behind transparent skies
when sickness falls to the ground
hide away in your own security
places too numb to feel
conversations buried away
pick away at this disguise
pick through the amnesia
colors driven to the shoreline
we watch all the ships sail towards this lighthouse
a million letters to my best friend
I can’t wake you now
when we can’t feel tomorrow
Closing Cell Video “Breaking Through the Neon Sky”
“enumerate cathedral walls”
i’m at the stoplight trying to remember it all…
before we crash against tomorrow…
Fuel up my insides with disbelief
I hear all the photographs talking about the lost collapse
a million sounds lodging through my brain
fall through the stairs to skin my eyes of sin
One more pinprick to control obscurity like design
shuffling past all the days written in your head
try to imagine a future without recourse
I see the aspiration written across the depth of instability
To conquer a million mountains for you
to withstand the longevity sparkle through your eyes
watch us roll down the hill to burn instinct beyond infinity
walk through time to wash away every ounce of pain
step across monuments with a million lost gifts inside
drive to stand still
enumerate cathedral walls
we watch them describe a piece of faith to amplify every ounce of self control
streetcars chase the sky
step through the broken staircase
faceless values turned around
locked within a trance
colors brittle to the touch
fall through separation
stop apart
don’t wake the dead this time
chemicals spilling from your eyes
lock & turn it apart
like each day chosen before us
men fall from the sky
a paralyzed reaction driven through battle
loose this memory deep in your veins
this situation is endless
houses burning on empty streets
children run towards open bridges when we find a way out
when we paint it in gold
when we write it in silver
when we focus on all the details
situations endless
a feeling left to control
a justification split apart
voices half memorized
a future locked behind the past
a future written in your disguise
pictures adhered between their eyes
transfixed with your true control
yesterday they broke all the walls down inside
alone with degradation
stand behind the rain
try to face to light
every distant past buried behind segregation
capture faces like flags in the dark
this house runs across a million dreams
can’t focus on every detail
stand to listen to every hour
capture my sanity before it dissipates
grow past my youth
stand behind the light
every call hitting me closer
years behind an electric glare
fuel burns through my hands
spark a guide to instinct
every hour inside your head
crush the ghost where none of us belong
run past the traffic lights
wish apart every secret we are yearning for
confusion spins through your spine
i’ve seen you crush your eyes with instability
I saw you break the glass with your eyes
when we start to hesitate I can’t crawl back to the empty spaces
every distant shore that shakes the hours away
do we burn away the time
count every step through the wall
when we kept a million days awake
cross the streetcar
look away & try to believe i’ve seen you shut it apart
i’ve seen you shut it down
break apart every inscription when they guide us further away
a face in the distance where we try to believe
cross the hours away
I imagine their minds in black & white
to redesign every impact to a thoughtless disguise
chase the scarecrow to pin his wings
I felt winter drop across your eyes
when we turn the pages and try to forget
is it everything I try to feel at once?
I start to stare across faces lost against the window
shake their hands over and over to remember it all
never try to realize we pretend too far
never try to realize it is all a disguise
I am shopping through yesterday trying to remember my name
stand like a ghost for days
burning time like angels
look across a million reflections but I can only see you
playing chessmen to win it all
but I lose my game for you
I lose my game for you
what words can I say
every hallow reaction numbed by time
impossible dreams I can’t realize
lose my doubts from this crime scene
paint a million faces to color their days away
submerge all the thoughts holding me from falling
every discovery in the dark
turn to control this vice
fading against time every color I can’t feel
sickness slipping through my skin
every creation lost in my mind
build a million sandcastles to withstand my days
unlock a million puzzles to lose illusion one more time
turn against my true instinct
an Alter for every sin
a fortune controlled by filters in a cage
redesign the loss to win it all
reevaluate every impact gone wrong
hear a million voices through this room
every amplification to escape
overcompensate this hidden values
I saw you laughing in the dark
every substance I can’t feel
try to categorize every emotion and paint it through the wall
lock away every insecurity
a million keys spinning through your head
to break the lock against my heart
they are lost in the field to hunt their eyes
we look inside for doubts
witness every reaction to distinguish each crime
chase the scarecrow to pin his wings
Between The Needle And The Thread
you hold me across the rooftops lost in memory
choices we don’t know why
counting the time left in my head
years wasting away in our youth
on top of the brightest sky
can’t carry the distance
can’t choose the relapse like the needle to the thread
so far away I can’t touch the waves
so far away I can’t find single soul
walking through the sandstorm
remember when the mistakes kept us hidden
remember what breaks me
remember what wakes me
so far divided between the needle and the thread
call the telescopic eyes
washed ashore burning the truth ahead
words bleed with past lives
wasting away in machinery
walking through the train
footsteps creek
