Brilliance

Ignorance gives way to lies
Those words, they tore me up inside
Who knew that he could be so fragile
It's all a mess of shattered dreams
I live the novel's recurring themes
As bombs tick away all the while
But through it all your warmth is in the air
Pale blue and amber gold, I feel you there
And in a sudden flash of brilliance
You are all I see
Oh, how I long for forgiveness
Is it true that I could be free?
I seek redemption in my own eyes
I've fallen for blessings in disguise
But still, I find it all worthwhile
To try my luck and try again
Convey the message I'm trying to send
All just so I can see you smile
Poison turns to medicine
It traces where I am, as well as where I've been
And throughout all the mayhem and the din
You can't always act so masculine
Cause in a sudden flash of brilliance
You are all around
I leave behind all my diligence
Sink into your arms without a sound
Ignorance gives way to lies
Through it all
In a sudden flash of brilliance
You are all there is

Right Here

With you I can't explain myself
But I won't settle for anyone else
You're perfect, as far as I can tell
And well
I wanna take you out some place
Get to know the man behind the face
Have your arms around my waist
As time slips by without a trace
Wanna walk with you and hold your hand
Take me out to see your favorite band
With you I let myself expand
To let in all that I once banned
So why should we go anywhere
When everything we need is right here?
Laughter and a hand to hold when scared
Forget about your worries and your fear
And tell me about your childhood, your music and your loves
I wanna hear about the things that you dream of
Cause the sun is sinking through the trees
And our footsteps fall in line with ease
And words keep flowing fast and free
So spend a bit more time with me
Cause I like your mannerisms
I like the way you smile
And soon we'll be distanced
By miles and miles and miles and miles
So let's just ride this feeling
It'll all be over soon
But I can't let you get away before I know you
I hope that you don't judge me if I act a little strange
I can't exactly justify why I say the things I say
But why should we go anywhere
When everything we need is right here?
I just wanna know you
I just wanna know you, my dear

Snow

Don't act like you don't know me
Don't act like you don't care
I've lost all the friction I once had
I slip and slide as you walk by
The wind was howling around us
Underneath the moon
And from the crook of my arm
I watch you watching me
Don't fall asleep
Don't you dare leave
Just stay here with me
I turn and watch you go
With the burden of what we both know
I'll wrap my aching summer night in snow
By break of dawn
You're going gone

Bluebird

Oh, little bluebird
Won't you sing a little more?
A pretty tune I can't ignore?
Cause I've found I'm lost without you
Trapped in games of war
I revel in your sickness
And I drown you in wine
And while you weep, I insist
That everything is fine
And when the sunlight fades away
There's nothing left to keep the dark at bay
And as you cross my mind
I wish you'd rest, or stay confined
But you flit and flutter, you never stutter or stop to soak up time
No trace of any kind
I know the leaves have fallen
And that crunch on the ground hurts your ears
I know the winds are howling
And they smother the song you want me to hear
But won't you stay a little while?
I swear I'll make it worth your while
Just hunker down a few more miles
And crack a smile, little bluebird
Crack a smile
