Arson & Alchemy

I once believed divine decree
But all the years have poisoned me,
With a flagrant apathy

Oh I never lost control at all,
I just gave into the greatest lie that the world has ever known

I could’ve been so much more than I am

Well I’m still breathing
though not all I was meant to be yet
Can you heal me alchemy?

Make me a sire of gold
And I’ll set fire to the world
Cause I’ve got years to burn
before I’m gone

I used to fan the flames but now,
I want to be the wind that blows from the hand that wrote it all
I’ve been first star wishing
For a Midas Affliction
From Chrysopoeiate addiction
But I’m still so far off

I want to be so much more than I am

Well I’m still breathing,
Though not all I was meant to be yet
Can you heal me Alchemy?

Make me a sire of gold
And I’ll set fire to the world
Cause I’ve got years to burn
Before I’m gone

Hurricane

You shimmer like the Northern Star
And I’m just the guy with the
Telescope on the ground
You’re rushing like a waterfall and I’m just the
dribbling of a faucet that won’t turn off
I got concrete shoes, and you’re
strapped to rockets,
If it’s sink or swim, then I’m swiftly drowning
I’m on the ocean floor and you’re out of the atmosphere

Why do I not see this coming?
The more I try, the less you’re enamored
When it all plays out, well
who was I kidding?
To say you’re out of my league
doesn’t start to explain it
I’m a drop of rain and
baby you’re a hurricane

I whipped out the big
guns, aimed to impress,
centered those cross-hairs on your chest
crossed my
fingers, pulled the trigger
just hoping for the best
you probably wish the
bullet had caught my head
but it landed in my foot instead

Why do I not
see this coming?
The more I try, the less you’re enamored
When it all plays
out, well who was I kidding?
To say you’re out of my league
Doesn't start to explain it
I’m a drop of rain and
baby you’re a hurricane Those chemicals made synapses fire,
made illogical seem probable
Like a cannonball,
I’m bound to soar and fall I’m just a lead balloon, you’re
anti-gravitational.
And I’m out of my head

Why do I not see this coming?
When the more I try,
the less you’re enamored When it all plays out,
well who was I kidding?
To say you’re out of my league
doesn’t start to explain it
I’m just a drop of rain and
baby you’re a…

But if I had what I
want, I’d get you off
and I’d turn you on
And I’d have what I need,
to bring down a goddess
to her knees I’d sell my soul to know,
what to give to the girl who’s got it all
I’d conjure the winds to blow
and knock you off of that pedestal
I’m calling your bluff,
and I bet it all so you better fold
If I don’t strike gold,
what’s left to give when you got it all?

Ghost

A single ray of light is dancing in a darkened room
it penetrates an eye close-by, but the black is not removed
the face in which the eye resides is a mix of cloth and stone
a pale linen veil draped over withered bones

She hovers like a moth over the flame,
But it’s not the light she needs, only the heat it brings
And as I watch the powder start to change
I know where seven years have gone to waste

I would give the world
To go back all those years
And stop you at the start
before you disappeared

I’ll be there for you when I can
just show me there’s yet something there
that’s still worth fighting for

The world around her is just spinning like a carousel
All attempts to revert back to normalcy have quickly failed
As her immortality is sizzling on a silver spoon
She’ll contemplate the point in space and then create the wound

I do not know this solemn ghost
It’s not the human I recall
her shell’s remained the same
But all the hope in her is gone

I would give the world
To go back all those years
And stop you at the start
before you disappeared

I’ll be there for you when I can
just show me there’s yet something there
that’s still worth fighting for

"Save me, Save me, Save me"
Come on say,
"Save me, Save me, Save me"
and I’ll replace the flame

my little ray of light is dancing in a cloud she made
I wish she’d come back down where it is safe
And stay

Thick & Thin

In the glow of a street light,
when the night cloaks her shame,
she looks for love and the
comfort of a hollow embrace
And though it offers her gold,
and brief escape from the cold
She’s after something much more
than simply warming her bones

She says,
“a few lays, alleviate the sharp pangs of hunger,
But a heartbeat’s still all I have”

And she says, “I want someone
to love me just the way I am,
just the way I am”
She says, “I want someone beside me
whether lose or win,
through thick and thin”

In the blaze of the limelight
To unanimous pride
She outshines every diamond in a starlet’s sky
But she’s shrouded in darkness like a waning moon
she knows there’s much more to her than is seen by the world
She says, “I can’t find peace of mind
when nobody knows me
And a heartthrob is all I am”

And she says,
“I want someone to love me
just the way I am, just the way I am”
She says, “I want someone beside me
whether lose or win,
oh through thick and thin”

“When the light fades to night
brings the cold rain and thunder
When a desert sun, is burning up
every drop of hope there under
Be an anchor in an ocean of change”
And she says,
“I want someone to love me
just the way I am, just the way I am”

“Say to me, come on and say to me
Say you’ll love me just the way I am,
just the way I am
Stay beside me whether lose or win
oh through thick and thin”

Navigator

I like the way you look tonight
Wearing only moonlight
You sparked a fire
And I am smoldering
You feign indifference darling,
But I feel you trembling
You’re trying so hard
To not be physical
Why even fight it child,
When it’s this natural?

When we’re all alone
and no one needs to know
Without a single light on

Let me be the navigator, and I will guide you
I know you’re scared to fly, let me ease your mind
If I’m the navigator you’ll be alright
we’ll find euphoria before sunrise

I like the way you hesitate,
Often lust so prolonged can be
the right kind of wrong For you,
You say you’re bound by a circle
so you can’t acquiesce
You should rely on your senses
cause it’s senseless distress
To deny what your conscience screams is
A consequent-less trip
Cause no one needs to know

We’re all alone, so why just dip your toes?
Why not breathe in deep and dive down?

Let me be the navigator, and I will guide you
I know you’re scared to fly, let me ease your mind
If I’m the navigator you’ll be alright
we’ll find euphoria before sunrise

Drip drops that poison thawing from her mind,
Adrift at last, she’s swimming in the sky
And all her doubts are far behind
And she falls in love
Her body ebbs in the undulating tide,
Blanketed in stars, she whispers the night
That all I am is all she needs
And she falls in love

All I Need

Twenty years running,
I’m hopelessly caught in this maze
Well I dart around corners
through corridors that all look the same
I’m revived by the sound of your voice
as you whisper my name
With each step that I take
I more fervently taste my escape
I can feel it like it’s pouring through my veins
I give all that I have
Cause I’m hoping this maze will unfold
Right at your door, baby
And when I get home you’re all that I need
And when I grow old you’re all that I need
Azraline, my queen

I spent twenty years floating
and I’m hopelessly stranded at sea
Well I’m searching for green
in this fusion of blue around me
I steer for the horizon at the corner of the world
Where the advent of a zephyr
and the swelling of a purl
Let me know I’m close

I can feel it like it’s pouring through my veins
I give all that I have
Cause I’m hoping this breeze carries me
Onto your shore, baby

And when I get home you’re all that I need
And when I grow old you’re all that I need
I know it’s a long way
But I’ll get there someday
And when I get home you’re all that I need
Azraline

And I know there’s a thousand miles dividing us
And no, I won’t – till I’m standing in your door – give up
and I know it won’t be long
Now that I found out where to go
I don’t need much
Just open up and let me in

And when I get home you’re all that I need
And when I grow you’re all that I need
Oh it’s a long way
But I’ll get there someday
And when I get home you will be all I need
Azraline, my queen

Higher

"Open wide, and stay open wide
it’s a blue-streak, life
but live as if you’ll never die"

And whether wrong or right
It’s an axiom I can’t deny
And I’m beginning to like
The thrill and perils of learning to fly

Some moments are over way too fast,
and I get swept away with them every time
I close my eyes and I get,

Higher and higher
to the borders of Elysium
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
to the borders of Elysium
Higher and higher

Morning light
Hits like a dagger in a waking eye
But at least I’m alive,
With her asleep at my side

Then she smiles and sighs,
And I’m swimming in her opening eyes,
It’s a rising tide that I’m content to drown in
To drown inside

These moments are over way too fast,
and I get swept away with them every time,
I close my eyes and I get

Higher and higher to the borders of Elysium
Higher and higher
Higher and higher to the borders of Elysium
Higher and higher

I wanna be far away and long beyond the apogee
I wanna feel air without the hindrance of gravity
I want me to stall, and be out of control
I’m fearless to fall, cause I know it won’t be long
before I’m thrown

Higher and higher

And love, love is a catapult
Your love, your love is a catapult
Your love, your love is
Higher and higher
To the borders of Elysium
Higher and higher

Flicker

Stop right there,
The part where you say
That you don’t care
And then you start to cry

It’s okay
I understand your pain
Though you’re sure there’s no way
I swear there’ll be better days

And she is flickering again
And I can’t save this flame
If it flickers out again

Promise me
You won’t keep
Crying yourself to sleep at night
And cursing your life
It’s alright
You’ll be fine
Take a deep breath
Baby please try

And she is flickering again
And I can’t save this flame
If it flickers out again

Stay, when everything around you starts to change
And everyone you know begins to fade

Oh god, I’ve never seen you so sad,
I’ve never seen you so sad
I’ve never seen you this way
Please don’t change
Please don’t fade
Please don’t let this tear you down so far
You can’t find your way back from where you came

Please don’t fade
Please don’t break
Please don’t let this tear you down so far
That you can’t find your way back from where you came.

The Meaning of Life

I met an old man today
Standing on the street
Wearing a sign that read:
“This is my last day alive”
So I stopped to ask
If in his long life,
There was anything that he regretted
And he spoke to me words I will never forget…

He said,
“I’ve lived my whole life
knowing one day I’ll die,
and that it’s alright, oh but it’s alright
And if you are wise,
You’ll take my advice
And you’ll do alright
Yes you’ll turn out fine”

Oh, he said “life is just a phase
You can only get out what’s put in
And it’s over in a blink
So why not give everything
Boy are you listening?
It won’t be repeated man,
And this is the meaning of life”

Saw an old friend today
Standing in the rain
Wearing a ring that she did
not have the last time we met
So, out of concern I
Stopped to ask her why
She’d betrayed solitude
Her attribute I’d most admired
Then she spoke to me words I will never forget,

She said,
“I’ve lived my whole life
hoping one day I’d find
something beautiful that I could both share and call mine
and if you’re as blessed as I
one day you will find
Cyclicality between souls is what makes you whole

And falling in love is like an eclipse,
For it only occurs once or twice
And you could miss it if you blink,
So why not embrace it when you become faced with it
It’s so amazing man,
And this is the meaning of life”

Solace

With folded eyes, fading out the world
I flee to find the solace, in the memory of a girl
Her sanctity surrounds me,
it saturates my soul
She's burning like a blue flame,
that melts away the cold
At the sight of her, I'm overcome

There're words we never spoke out loud
But silence would scream the ineffable
And all the fires we can't put out
When ash is all that remains,
i'll love you still

I open fire, target all my pain
Whisper in the wind,
too afraid to speak her name
She's beautiful but so sad,
I ruminate my muse
Linger in the memory
of a moment gone too soon
In a sudden wave, im overcome

There're words we never spoke out loud
But silence would scream the ineffable
And all the fires we cant put out,
When ash is that remains,
i'll love you still

We are grounded but not without wings,
Though we were never meant to fly
We are parted but not without design,
And we're stonger for knowing
why everything changes
Darling yeah, in time

There're words we never spoke out loud
But silence would scream the ineffable
And all the fires we can't put out
Well im gonna love you more and more
Go on, go on you make me whole

Go on, go on you saved me
And I'm where I belong
I'm where I belong
Go on, go on, you make me whole...

The Untitled

Welcome to a world of endless lies
If you’re old enough to breath here
You’re not too young to die
Welcome to a place where time flies
You might wake up one day and find
Your whole life has passed you by

And you’re screaming like it mattered
And all that you want is someone
Screaming like they’ll hear you
But it’s pointless
Won’t you let me live for myself?

Welcome to a world of endless lies
If you’re bold enough to dream here
You’re much more apt to cry
I used to see the world through your eyes
Then I opened up mine
Took a breath and realized
My whole life might pass by
And I never got to be me

Now I’m screaming like it mattered
And all that I want is you gone
Screaming like you’ll hear me
But it’s pointless
Won’t you let me live for myself?

Life is too damn short
Don’t let it get away
Only you create your identity
Mirrors can be changed
No matter what they say
If the eyes you view them with examine differently
Life is one big game we’re fortunate to play

Don’t let it get away

The Only Thing That Matters

I watched as you rushed out
the door and into the rain
Leaving crowded conversation,
lacking comfort therein
And fearing you’d succumb
to grief and be swept away
I followed in your footsteps
and trailed in your wake

So you’d know, you’re not alone

Then you fell into my arms
and cried out between sobs
You said ‘why did this have to happen?’
and ‘why couldn’t it be stopped?’
And staring through the darkness
and into your face I said,
‘my dear there are some things
that no one can change’

But know you’re not alone
just tell me you know that you’re not alone

when everything around you
begins to tumble down
and the world starts tasting sour,
as surely it is bound to
I know it isn’t easy but
don’t you give up on me
Always remember this,
cause it’s the only thing that matters at all…

No one said it’s easy
Letting go, accepting
When you’re hoping that it might change
And clinging to the memories

You say, ‘I’m not a strong girl, and it’s alright,
But I don’t think that I take this much more’
I say, ‘I feel the same way, but it’s alright
Just stay in my arms and
tell me you know

You’re not alone
Just tell me you know
You’re not alone

When everything around you begins to tumble down
And the world starts tasting sour, as surely it is bound to
I know it isn’t easy but don’t you give up on me
Always remember this,
cause it’s the only thing that matters at all…

That you hold on, hold on, just hold on

Well just Hold your breath and look out the window
Know the clouds won’t hang forever
seasons always change, eventually
and as tortured thoughts scream out like a banshee
drain your hope and tear at your valor
think of what I said and promise me
you’ll hold on…

Now breathe again with eyes out the window,
Watch the clouds start to dissolve
Replacing grief with a thousand memories
Feel it coming back again
Forcing all the wounds to mend
And patching all the holes punched in your life,
And making it alright

When everything around you begins to tumble down
and the world starts tasting sour, as surely it is bound to
I know it isn’t easy but don’t you give up on me
And always know that you are not alone…
