I've been dying to tell you
In darkness I write
It took a long time to get here
So many years of looking
til I finally could see the light

You gave me a name
you gave me my face
you gave me your love
your the only person I can't replace

Some may seem to know you
but your heart is deep in me
there's much I want to tell you
too much I have to see
I know I'm not the first
but your mine today
ever since my birth
I had so much to say
your the one thing that understands me
I will never go away

She might seem cold to you
she's warming up to me
I might seem alone to you
I'm as crowded as can be
the day looks like the night
the night feels like the day
I wish I could forget
I wish I could know just what to say

you unearthed this simple passion
the taste can't go away
so many words to chose, but there are never right ones to say
I am the dirt on my sneakers
I am the hope in your eyes
I am a tear from your past
I am the fear of the future
I am the thing that will last
I am the want in your eyes
I am too many yesterdays
I am one more tomorrow

Had my window and missed it
I didn't make a move
I didn't make a sound
I would have jumped out
but I know I'll never hit the ground

I'm sitting in the church at sunset
waiting for the world to end
listen to the words of light
waitng til we meet again

I only feel alive
when I walk among the dead
there's no place left to hide
from these feelings in my head

Breath cold like dying
death is walking fast
I'm running out of hearts
somethings weren'n meant to last
the clock is angry
the clock is a lions head
she is the winter
I'm alive
but I feel dead

Hidden from the noise of sunshine
crying in the dark of night
abandoned by your passions
too broke and tired to fight
homeless, lost, and hungry
crazy from the pain
looking for a home
seeking shelter from the rain

Silent like a gravestone
as sweet as sugarwater
lost like lightning
lonely as the sea
angry like a rainstorm
complicated as a snowflake
happy as a birthday
shy like me

Deep under my skin I can feel you
Your memory etched on my heart like a name on a stone
deep inside my dreams I can see you
we are seperated but not apart
I will alwys be lonely
but I shall never be alone
you are always with me
I am a part of you
