Goodbye

Feel the rain on your skin
And feel it for me again
This time I won't be walking with you

Goodbye beautiful day

Night time you won't see
My face here any more
And daylight is lonely

Goodbye beautiful day
Sorry I'm not ok

The window, I wrote you
This song to keep you awake
So some times you'll see
Just what you meant to me

Goodbye beautiful day
I must be on my way
I'm sorry, I'm gone
I have to go this way

A ghost's hand I held
You held just as tight
Remember who I was
As he makes you smile

Goodbye beautiful day
When I'm gone, close your eyes
You'll see me in the stars

Goodbye innocent girl
And goodbye beautiful world.

Here's to the misfits

Don't practice what they preach
It won't help you sleep tonight
But you just might last a while
You just might catch a smile
That follows just like you
And learned all the same moves
It just might be heaven
But we all know the truth

So here's to the misfits
And all the maligned
That grow away
And leave you behind
Here's to the crazies
That wrote their own rules
Alone in their cells
Never alone in their minds
Here's to us all
That broke our own hearts
So we could rise up
And tear the whole world apart

Lost in Translation

That run through the park.
Where trees hung in shame for us
Swept the grass of all it's filth
Shaky windows and sullen statues

I remember when
But do you remember now
The lines we lost so perfectly
And all the night is meant for us
To waste away eternity.

Drop your guard as you say you love me
Through bitter teeth you cry so lovely

Though the winter came, it was always there
But was never noticed.
The trees held back their tears
So the flowers could grow a few days.

Do these roses mock me
They haunt my dreams so cruelly

I walk the snow in my own footprints
I made so long ago.
And avoid the rotting castle
That I love to crumble still.
