Solace Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm not looking for feedback or anything, I just thought it was funny looking at the dichotomy and similarities. Anyways: Between the steps I take and my beating heartI’m steady against your visceralTheft of anxious stares, your warming handsWedged loosely in mine vacant andI know you’re trying hard, and I’m trying tooI swear I can’t sustain this coolBut I’ll keep my might when I walk you homeBecause I hope tonight I will and you won’tTurn awayMaintain sincere and novelty because I hope when you look up that you won’tTurn awayI can show you how if you don’t quite know, I can show you how When the river comes, I hold my hand close to meBecause I don’t want you to see just yetWhen I stare you down to try to see you give awayA tell that tells your darkest needs And the stairs we take in the steady nightWork to race my heart but I’m keeping sightBecause you’re shivering and I know you wellYour body doesn’t know to quellMy God that’s quite alright, I’m nervous tooI swear I can’t sustain this coolBut I need to show you what I knowAnd when the night gets old, I will and you won’tTurn awayA whisper cast into the air, when you hear it, God I hope that you won’tTurn awayI hate to feel so vulnerable, I know you’d hate to feel I want to hear your secrets love, I want to tell you mineIn a voice that shakes because I don’t have timeI want to hear your secrets love, I want to tell you mineIn a voice that speaks in a stuttered rhyme-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I’d be lying if I said I had better things to doThan wait outside your house as still and quiet as a mouseAnd whisper good nightTo the absence of light But I’ve been hoping you’d stir to find me sitting thereTo catch the shortest view of you admiring me tooYou don’t see the ironyFrom who I used to be From time to time I seem to find your name behind these written linesStaring me down keeping around you never kept in fateIt’s poison in my eyesDespite everything I’ve tried And in the dark I breathe too heavily for someTo soothe the loudest burn that turns in memories discerned Curse your ghost inside my headNever blaming me instead It’s taken all I have to hide it from myselfAnd I’m breaking down in places where I thought that you would beI need to hear you speak to me say anything at allIt’s better than the anxious sweat I get all by myself I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t really mindThe hand you used to hold is now atrophied and coldAm I still just killing youA part of me just hopes I do But I’ve been stolen in these fantasies I getWhere you keep your separate half so warm it never leaves your formBut I reach across the bedFeeling terrible instead From what I see I seem to be impatiently start to agreeThe things I need start to exceed your every painless moveIt’s poison in my veinsIt’s a challenge to explain And in your eyes I don’t know what I need to doTo break the pattern started in the quietest of evesDo I softly say helloOr keep my vision to the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melty Mark Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 I dig it. I can't get past a first chorus to save my life. I come up with a few combinations of words that I like, and then come up with others that don't fit in the first one but would go great in a new song and then here I am with like six verse-and-first-chorus bits and pieces.
