(unknown)

She's awake, time it tricks her
Ticking over as the sleepless surrender their thoughts
Night is the time when thoughts turn to dreams and dreams come to life
And in her mind it wonders and in her heart it flickers
It tussles with her soul,

Soul tries to hide it
Sometimes she fights it
Kicks and punches her feelings away

These Eyes

These eyes are wide open 

but they can't see a thing 

I sit around hoping

waiting for the phone to ring

No one's calling, no one can see

I'm still blind to what is right in front of me

I know I'm young and restless 

I know I need to change 

I need to practice patience

and forget about the pain

I'd go around in circles and do it over and over again
Speak with my eyes and see with my mouth
I'd understand the beauty of silence and nothing
Of knowing so little and feeling so much

My eyes are wide open, can you see?
Can you tell I'm really asleep and my life hasn't started yet
And I'm craving for love and recklessness

Running

I feel bad for running but then again I don't
I had to go 
Had to get out from under your spell 
I couldn't do it anymore
Drunken I love yous 
I couldn't do that anymore
My pride couldn't take it 
my mind couldn't shake it, shake you off 
So now I'm forced to deny it and try and fight it 
act like I never felt that way for you before
The affection you wanted I couldn't give you
My attention you stole it, I couldn't fix you
So I threw you away before you took over my heart completely 
And you had too much control over my emotions
with mind play and trickery
I knew you'd make a fool of me but I wanted to believe 
that you wouldn't deceive, that there was something genuine
we were something worth waiting for but instead I'm just running 
trying to outrun myself and the feelings I felt 
running away from you all the crazy shit that comes with you 
I won't feel bad for running 

(unknown)

I stood around waiting,
waiting for you to notice me

Hung around smiles
Came across kisses
You chased me 
Down lonely streets,
in empty corners
You'd chased me
Tried me. And held me 
And now you haunt me, now its late

(I was sure I knew what I was doing)

I can put myself together again 
How does that feel 
Taking the pieces you left behind
for me to pick up then drop

I stood around waiting for long enough
