His eyes
Feed the lies
They are filled with gloss
And loss
And I feel like they are staring at me
And I feel like they are staring at nothing
As his thoughts pour into the air
Silently
His face
Is covered in sweat
And regret
He falls to the floor
Once he can’t think anymore
And there are shattered pieces across the tile
Shattered pieces of hope
Shattered
Clattered
Minds
Sprawled across the ground
But no one makes a sound
It’s the violence
Of the reliance
That makes the brick
Break like a stick
A twig
His eyes
Open big
Then close
And in that moment
The rose
Dies
And all the lies
Lie with us
Before hitchhiking on a bus
To truth
And leaving us
Shattered
On the tile
What is addiction?
A small child calls out from the crowd
Her voice isn’t loud
But it breaks the silence
And someone replies and says
It’s the violence
Within our own minds
It’s the loss of sanity
Left behind
The gun with one bullet
Aimed at the head
That slips so slowly through the air
And doesn’t make a sound
As if it were underwater
It’s like when the pencil runs out of led
And the writer can’t get out of bed
Because they have nothing left
But just a hollow pencil
Just a hollow body
No mind
No words
Like a bird
That can’t fly
Because he spent his wings on the temporary high
But, above all these things
Addiction is a sickness
That makes you feel total bliss
But only for a minute
Because after it leaves the body
It leaves you feeling spotty
Because you can’t remember a thing
And you know nothing but the feeling
Of your mind peeling away
And falling into the ocean
Losing motion
Of the land
Because your hand is shaking
And every breathe you are taking
Feels like your last
Until you feed the addiction
With your need for a substance
To take you away
From the pain you feel every single day
Verse 1:
I won't spend another night alone.
If it's not you no one else can do.
'Cause we belong together,
You're my shooting star.
Chorus:
All this time, I spent with you:
These memories will never die out.
'Cause I know you by heart,
Wherever you will go, I'll follow you.
Verse 2:
Now, the time has come for me
To put myself into your hands.
'Cause you gotta know: We belong to each other.
Our hearts are continuously set in the afterglow.
Bridge:
If you and me, if there's a possibility
Of beconing one with you,
Let loose and come unto me tonight.
Fall apart or hold on tight.
Last-Chorus:
Every time the phone rings,
I expect it to be you.
I spend each daily liviing like this.
Won't you take me home tonight?
