Good Night, Take Luck

It seems too familiar now
Don't bother to finish, I've heard this line before
Good night, take luck, I'll call you in the morning
My heart a trophy now placed on your wall
And I can't bear to sleep, bear to blink or even close my eyes
Your face is permanently scarred on my eyelid inside
And I waited for my walls to come crashing down
Don't take them brick by brick that's all I ask
And I waited for your breath to fill my lungs
But you never said a word
And the fireworks dipped from the canvass of a painted night sky
My ears witness to the story your eyes told
And I even miss the smoke, and I'm dying
I watched you coat my clouds with silver linings
and then I watched them rusting in the rain
This unprescribed medical collection
Am I naive or just pining for your affection
And I waited for your breath to fill my lungs
But you never said a word
And the fireworks dipped from the canvass of a painted night sky
My ears witness to the story your eyes told
And I even miss the smoke of the cigarette that once held,
the heart that I knew once that felt, the memories appear again, the perfect kiss in pouring rain
And climbing in this empty shell and dealing with the cards been dealt, and open eyes the dream's turned old, it's winter now it's getting cold

There's something about your smile.
You took off out the door, you said your last goodbye.
Left me sitting here, minding my own mind.
Cut the power, leave the house, leave my clock on blinking time.
10:03: The last time I saw you there
Don't push me away, I'll still be there
When you turn your head to look away
I can't sleep like I used to, without the songs you sang to me.
Lullabies and dreamy eyes, looming lies within my dreams.
And so you packed your bags, buried deep your heart,
the place where I once held a part.
I really wish'd you'd me, so long to my security.
10:03: The last time I saw you there
Don't push me away, I'll still be there
When you turn your head to look away
I can't sleep like I used to, without the songs you sang to me.
Lullabies and dreamy eyes, looming lies within my dreams.

Endless Sunsets

Another confession screamed to the moon, and my
audience are stars, they eclipse my heart, my heart.
Funny how this newly purchased tie was used to hang my heart.
The grey matches your eyes and it comes as no surprise to me.
And all the words you never said, and all the letters never sent and all the feelings never felt and me. The unread pages from our book and the phone left lying off the hook and me. And me.
To a forever of endless sunsets, it's cold enough to be winter and I think I saw your face again last night.
But it was only the photographs that vacate my wall, and your smile shows no happiness at all.
To a forever of endless sunsets, and I75 points straight like a knife, used to sever my left ventricle. So finish the job and wash your hands and walk away and never look back, never look back.
Funny how this newly purchased tie was used to hang my heart.
The grey matches your eyes and it comes as no surprise to me. And all the words you never said, and all the letters never sent and all the feelings never felt and me. The unread pages from our book and the phone left lying off the hook and me. And me.

For When I'm Flying

The jet wings cut the horizon like a knife
Lost at sea with thoughts of you still by my side
Sounds of Sarge fill my ears as the cold rain falls outside
My eyes begin to feel the weight as I follow them down.
First steps off the plane I felt the warmth from the sun's rays
Found out you were more concerned with the weather from yesterday
Rather write letters to the past and disregard my lonely heart
Just remember to pick up baggage on my way out.
And seven thousand miles for the worst heartache I've ever had, watch me take the trip there once again, watch me lose my heart there once again.
The jet wings cut the horizon like a knife
Lost again, with thoughts of you still by my side
Sounds of Sarge fill my ears as the tears run from my eyes
Learn to keep my instincts held inside.
Don't ever wish upon a falling star.

Leaving

What's wrong, I ask, and she pauses
She says it's nothing but I know and it makes me nauseous
Just hold me closer she said and play these games of hide and seek
It will be alright in the morning but for now I'm going back to sleep.
And she wakes from her sleep to tell me she'll miss me
I'm not going to cover the fact that I'm sad that you're leaving
but I don't want to be the one that keeps on holding you back
I know that the days and the weeks and the months will pass quickly
Just know that I may not be there waiting when you get back.
That's it, I ask, and she pauses
She says emotions and different time zones will make me cautious
Just hold me closer I said and play these games of hide and seek
It will be alright in the morning so she tells me, but for now she's drifting off to sleep.
And she wakes from her sleep to tell me she's leaving
Another bottle reminds me that I can't find the answers so easily.
And this will be the last time I say goodnight.
