Confusion

Trapped in a world where nobody hears your screams, your dreams are just darkness
Hoping that one day you’ll remember what it felt like to know how to breathe
Tragedy surrounds you, consumes you, yet none of it is real
It’s all in your mind, a way to make you feel.

Recall and rejoice the few hours of fun, the moments just before all was consumed
Once upon a memory, a girl had something to which she could look forward
Now she only has pain and regrets and way to make herself
Forget who she is and forget all her dreams.

Used to be able to accept that feeling that used to well up just below the surface
Hard enough to find inspiration, to attempt to do what once was so mundane
Less motivation, more aggravation, no way to escape but to fight through
Alone and confused, but what can she do?

What would you say if I said reach within you, see what is right there, exposed
That hopelessness is the demon that rages inside you, clawing to be free?
If I said that the poem were me, would you lay down beside me?
Would you hold my hand and take this journey?

Let’s be free, you and me, forever, together, you can be my cliché
I will love you and hold you and all that comes with you
If you simply accept that I too come with baggage
Our confusion creates the perfect marriage.

You allow me to see, what once used to be a world full of harmony
I thank you for showing your truth and your knowing
Of what it truly means to be happy
Thank you, for showing me.

Do Angels Know?

Hold me tight, kiss me good night
I've got a yearning in my heart
I've been dreaming of this moment all my life
And I've finally gotten it in my grasp

You know what makes me smile,
What makes me feel down,
You tell me your life story at two AM
And I listen with patient ears

Do angels know how to fly higher than the sky?
Do angels know what it means to fulfill their dreams?
Do angels know how to love with all they've got?
Do angels know how to give with all their souls?
‘Cuz I know.

At night I lie awake and wonder
How this came to be my life
You tell me that I’m pretty and you say it with glee
And I deny it, every time

Tell me that you want me
We’ll stay forever young
You’ll ply me a melody whilst I sing along
And we’ll know true happiness

Do angels know how to fly higher than the sky?
Do angels know what it means to fulfill their dreams?
Do angels know how to love with all they've got?
Do angels know how to give with all their souls?
‘Cuz I know.

Promises are broken, yeah you took it away
My once perfect reality was just a façade
You took my dreams and tore them like my wings
And I know, I know

That angels know how to fly higher than they sky
And angels know what it means to fulfill their dreams
Angels know how to love with all they've got
Angels know how to give with all their souls
But you don’t
No you don’t

And I know.

Hours Into Days

Hello, how are you? What is your name?
Nice to meet you, such a pretty face
I’ll give you all of me for the same in return
Your love is all I have been yearning for

I gave you everything but never enough
Not enough for you not to crush
My emotions, all of my dreams
And now I’m standing in a room with echoing screams

Because minutes turn to hours and hours into days,
Days turn into years, I don’t want to be afraid
There’s a hole up in my heart where you promised you would stay
But minutes turn to hours and hours into days.

You say you’ll be there but you never show
Where you were that day, I guess I’ll never know
I gave you an eternity but with a twist
I wanted you to return my given bliss

I’m left standing in the pouring rain
So cliché, I wish I could just run away
But my heart it pours continuous love
And I can’t help myself from crying

Minutes turn to hours and hours into days,
Days turn into years, I don’t want to be afraid
There’s a hole up in my heart where you promised you would stay
But minutes turn to hours and hours into days.

An eternity is how long I’ll wait
There will always be a place for you
No matter what you did you
No matter how much you put me through

I will wait the minutes and the days
I will be here when you finally return
I will hold you and I’ll never let go
Because I love, I will always love you

Minutes turn to hours and hours into days,
Days turn into years, I don’t want to be afraid
There’s a hole up in my heart where you promised you would stay
But minutes turn to hours and hours into days.
