Invincible

A moment
Few hours
A second
But it's ours

The place that
I'd been waiting for all day
A memory
You can't take something like that away

Airborne

'Cause it's a whole lot better,
I have somewhere to move
And if this is our life,
Then we swing to the tune

You'll twirl me 'round a few times,
And there's no one else there
I think we might have been flying,
We were born for the air

It comes easier each time,
And I don't have to look down
Well, I'm certain in this monent
We were not touching the ground

Do you hear that, love?
They're playing our song.




He is We
Owl City

Sky

Sometimes what you've mistaken for fog
Is the cloud you've been flying right through all along
We're up in the air, just like in your song
We're gonna get there, we're so far from lost

All the Right Letters

Just the words I needed today
Just the things you happened to say
All the right letters, all the right ways
Maybe I'll say what I mean for a change

*Waits patiently and tries to sleep*

Excitement runs through my veins
Down to my fingertips
It pulses from my heart and makes
It's way through every bit

Capes

Headphones in, he's singing along
Pauses to ask me if anything's wrong
That's when I find, and maybe he knows
That sometimes being a brother is better than
Being a superhero

So pick up your sword and stand up again

The end is still something you haven't met yet

Almost Good.

I'll try, like I tried yesterday
But all my struggles come in waves
And last night sleep just never came
So for tonight I'll wait and wait

Let me sleep sometime tonight,

Alright?

Thantophobia

I found the sun inside of a room
In the corner, sent to its doom
So I sat down right by its side
And watched it cry

Under papers, I found the truth
That a year ago I'd written to you
So I folded it up back again
To never send

In the woods I was walking through snow
Feel my heart beat from under my coat
So I kept still, folding my hands
And there I stand

Is it really this late in the night?
I'm already losing my mind
When the covers don't cover my thoughts
I should take a walk

And if you told me there was a cure,
I wouldn't try to find it anymore.

The River of Time

They pulled out a body from the River of Time
The body had drowned, and the person had died
When I looked a bit closer, I wasn't surprised
The person was me; the body was mine

Ocean.

They told me a little salt
Wouldn't hurt the wound
And they told me that the future
Wasn't all that soon

Every Night These Days

I see you every night these days
Dreams and nightmares both the same
Call it weird, I'll call it strange
And brush it off with that one phrase

I'm turning on the light these days
To find my room's a messy place
Still haven't unpacked that suitcase
But I'll brush it off, and call it strange

Fading

A peer into the past
I see her fading fast
I'll whisper back to her
And tell her it won't last

Strangers

There they are,
The two of them
They look so young
They're so different
Forever ago
And so recent
But I recall
That one moment

And Belive Me, I Don't.

I'm trying still
I'm doing my best
I'm trying my part
So please do the rest

But it still hurts
And it's still hard
It doesn't help when
You don't know who you are

If this is my life
Then I see the trees
The light overhead
Is waiting for me

I'm going to try
I'm letting it go
Got to remember
You know when I don't

Wind

No shame
No shoes
Please don't leave,
I'll miss you

No blame
Bad news
Why did you
Have to choose?

Remember.

With every hour of sleep I lose

I'm losing another loved one too 

My mind knows me, and it is cruel

And it kind of hurts that this is nothing new

My dreams like to bring me to Neverland

I'm not as scared there, but sometimes I am

Make fun of my mind and my fears with no plans
It's easy to mock what you can't understand
Sometimes feelings make you think
And sometimes darkness helps you see
But arrows find their marks on me
So I'm just trying not to freeze
I had a dream the other night
That reflects my current life
I woke up from the deadly fright
Hoping you were still alive
My legs ran not to race
For I was being chased
Afraid for my life,
I found hope when I saw your face
I screamed out as I ran
And you begged to understand
Someone still behind me,
I reached out for your hand
You stepped in front of me
The danger you faced
That's when I realized
My biggest mistake
No, no, no
Let me take those steps back
Get away from him
Or I'll die just like that
I should've run somewhere else
Kept him safe, turned in myself
A regret that could never be mended
And that, my friend, is where the dream ended
You never knew
Well, how could you?
When I saw you that morning
You had no clue
(But I was relieved, and you were okay)
I feel quite like the sky
For I cannot decide
What colors to show,
And if I should cry
I'm bursting with blue
The joys aren't few
Then I'll turn different shades
With different hues
I'm the poem that was never
Put onto this blog
I'm the lyrics that never
Made it in a song
Is time my ally
Or not so much?
Because it's too long
Yet I don't have enough
Do you remember
When we were young?
And we could hide under the bed
When we lost track of the sun?
Standing on a chair
Was our way of being tall
And tumbling down the stairs
Was the worst way we could fall
Now that we are older
It's not like that at all
But a lot of things are better
I put them on the walls
I'm getting how much I need You
A little more each day
You're more than just a life vest
You are my only Way
You pull me from the rapids
Right before I drown
And give me these friendships
When I'm calling out
When I was a little girl
I wished to write You a note
And release it into the wind
To thank You for what I own
I'm finding the urge again
To give You more than a voice
Remind me You can hear me
And that I'm not just noise
It's funny how this works
Because I've lost so much
But I have so much more
And You're the One I love
I examine the lives
Of the little ones I teach
And their innocence and joy
Is really teaching me
Adjectives, you're good at those
And when you describe how I feel, you know
The words you used, they told me so
Because I cracked them a couple months ago
Broken, worthless, and whatever
Well, you couldn't have said it better
But I learn when we are together
So I'll close my eyes now and remember

The Street

And you
You make it hard to breathe
Yet make it so easy
But you don't have a clue
About the life you've freed

And you
Help me stand in this street
Yet sweep me off my feet
And do you have a clue
You deserve more than me?

Well, you
You make me keep my ground
And you keep my faith sound
Promise me you know
I'll never let you drown

Windows.

The shadows creep along
Their only joy to haunt
Their only joy is wrong
So sing their haunting song

Have they come from my own?
See all those shadows
See all those windows
Open from my being alone

Is this more than I can face?
I can fight, I can escape
And my eyes open again
But I find I've been awake

Ready

One step more
One step at a time
Believe me, I know
What we could find

This is nothing I can't take
I'm already here
I'm ready for anything
I can take your tears

All I want during the day
Is what I'll never have at night
Maybe one day I'll find
My peace of mind

I

Here's my head
At the end
Of my bed

Soft

The blanket is soft
My mind is not
If I tried to stand
I know I'd drop

This same old spot
This thing I've fought
I could pretend
You're not my thought

Safe Square

I grabbed a little stick

And drew into the earth

I made a safety box

'Cause you know, safety first

Inside of my safe square,

I cross my arms and laugh

No one's getting in

So safely, I sit back

That's when you make your step

And gently come on through

I should've seen it coming

Not them, but only you

Maybe you're just too clever
When I push them away
Because you're still present
I guess I'll let you stay

Stolen.

An everlasting chance

My heart will start to dance

A deck, a patient stance

A smile, a stolen glance

Like Before

When the sun rose this morning
Over the world
I was so far away there
In a bunk I was curled

The sunlight was beauty
We worshiped our King
And friendship immersed me
In loving all things

This heart was at home
I'd want nothing more
Better than the ones
That came before

Now the sun sets
Now I'm back here
I wish that the sickness
Would reduce me to tears

Tears make things easier
Every once in a while
But as we lose daylight
I'm trying to smile

Because now we're not
Singing those songs
And now we're not
Running along

Yeah, now we're not
Hiking through trees
And now you're not
Walking by me

I don't know what to think
Not anymore
The breeze whispers to me
"You're not like before."

Clean Eyes

Look in the mirror
And ask your soul
If you're alright



Twenty One Pilots

Echoes.

His eyes meet the room
He walks on the floor
Believe me, I know that
He's been here before

Familiar sounds, and
Familiar places
New age, new team
No familiar faces

The things that he's learned
He patiently shows
And they are prepared from
The things that he knows

And they can't match his stride
Almost too short to meet his eyes
But he doesn't pass them by

Yeah, he's gentle and he's kind
Kinda reminds me of the time
That he taught me how to fly

That grin on his face
He walks through the door
Believe me, I know that
He's been here before

Earth to Brain

Would someone please tell this
To my mind for me?
That thinking and sleeping
Are not the same thing
You can't give me these thoughts
And expect me to sleep
You can't substitute one
And be rested, you see

Okay Again

I never have the words to say
What I'm writing on this page today
Because English loves to leave my brain
I can't express myself in any way
But you seem to vanquish all the pain
And you've got my nightmares running away
You leave me with this homesick ache
That makes me wish that you could stay
I know we're facing hurtful days
I think we're both a bit afraid
But hold on, we will be okay
Just don't let anyone make you change

?

You don't get it,
And neither do I
But I see you when
I close my eyes
I'm not too fond
Of our goodbyes
Like starting a flame
Without any light

Back.

All that's lost inside my mind

Someday soon I know I'll find

Say that these things just take time

I know you're right, but I'm not fine


I once heard we're on our own

Bullets through a telephone

People lie, well now I know

Just a sec, we're going home

Imprisonment

It's like living in a thunder cloud
I think my thinking's far too loud
I know that soon I'll make it out
But "soon" doesn't seem soon right now

My only God's pulling me through
I pray and I talk in my room
I know He hears my fading tune
And how I'm dying from this "soon"

I'm worn from this predicament
I think I've had my fill of it
He tells me that I'm innocent
I can't help but feel different

The wolves never travel alone
So worries weigh on me like stones
It's not like I can grab the phone
And say "I'm sorry for breaking your bones."

I'm sick of this predicament
The sorrow's seeming infinite
He tells me that I'm innocent
But this is my imprisonment

Through the Mountains and the Storms (and everything else)

I thought maybe
Getting on a train
Would get me help
It's simple, plain
But it started to move
It carried me off
Why hadn't I read the name!?
This was my Train of Thought
So here I am
Still mad at myself
The Train of Thought's the last train
That'll get me help
But here I am
So I've gotta write
I'm still on this train
I'll be here all night
Oh, someone let me out!
You are here, you know
But silly me, I'm tired
I guess you really don't
Well, let me tell you-- you are
You're one of the reasons I stay
On this train that takes me far
And now I'm far away
But it's horrible, you see
Because you don't don't look at me
You're just a memory
And I can't change a thing
Do you know why
I hate this train?
Because it's connected
To my brain
And oh, my mind is
An awful place
The world's exploded nine times
Now bits in outer space
There was a shooting at
Your school today
And "Panic Attack"
Became my new name
But now you're fine
You're good, you're safe
But golly, do I
Hate this train
It takes me to places
I don't want to go
It zooms up the mountains
And straight through the snow
It dives off the edge
Into tomorrow
You'd think since it's my train,
I'd be the conductor, right?
But I haven't had control
In several thousand nights
"Emily, oh Emily,"
They say to me
Smiling sympathetically
"No, you don't need therapy."
Oh just wait, you will see
Say in a few days
I'll be all good and free
Tell me I'm okay
But you'd have to lie to me
So walk away, I'll let you go
But I'll still be here when you leave
I talked to people today
(They told me I was okay)
And some of their words were helpful
Some of them will stay
There are two dogs in front of me
Only enough food for one to eat
And now I choose which one I feed
Pressure, pressure, Emily
No one knows I'm worried sick
But how should they when it never slips
None of it would pass my lips
But maybe my pen could handle it
I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what to do
But the only thing I want to do
If I'm being honest and true
Is just sit down and talk to you
I'm okay, but I'm looking for proof
So how can one expect to listen to God
When they don't even listen to their parents?
"No, you don't understand."
No, I think I do
Do you really believe I've never walked
In that same pair of shoes?
What's right is right,
What's wrong is wrong
Doesn't seem like I should have to
Put that in a song
But oh, I'm done
(My mind is not)
Can someone please just
Get me off?
I don't need this
Train of Thought
My heart is scared
My bones repaired
My stomach aches
With worry's wears
If you were on this train
A couple years back
Maybe you'd feel the same
As I did in that
You would feel alone
And you couldn't see
A couple years ago
Yeah, that was me
You'd walk on your own
And you would not believe
(Anything)
Things are different now
From before
Now I'm facing
Different storms
The ones my train moves
Right on through
Without solving anything
Yeah, who knew?
But that's okay
I'm not alone
And I believe
And I've found home
Maybe if I close my eyes
I won't meet my demise
My thinking will subside
So in that case, goodnight!

I Don't

So give me another chance
But I don't see
How I can do this over

If you could stand
In the place of me
Would you really know her?

I've got empty hands
Can't you see?
But don't call this over

Dream

I don't think
I can speak
And why is it
Hard to breathe?

Things I keep
Hidden deep
Surface when
I fall asleep

Last Hope

It's just a spark
But it's enough
To keep me going




Paramore

(I'm Sorry)

Lock me up
And take me away
But I can't do this
Every day

Now a thief
I live my life
But I've shot down the sun
From another's sky

Slam the hammer
Proclaim me filthy
I'm without witnesses
I know I'm guilty

Unaware

Here you go
I don't even deserve
To get the chance to know
Anyone quite like you

And here you go
You're my thousand stupid smiles
When I'm alone
Thinking of you

So here you go
Because half the time you're unaware
I crack codes
But so do you

One Day

That looks like the sky
We'll fly off into one day

the reason

Take me back
And I can see
Everything
So vividly
A little girl waits
In front of a window
Stuck between songs,
She missed the shadow
"All I Wanted" and "Amsterdam"
She was still dreaming of Neverland
She blamed it on the rain, you know
The rain outside of that window
And as I'm looking now,
She fades away
Like the chalk on the sidewalk
In all of that rain
And the past is gone
The girl's not the same
But I guess I still see her
Every few days
Here's to the stars in your eyes
Here's to our hopes,
Here's to tonight
This year is already so bright
We walk along now
We leave things behind
'Cause all that dark,
Guess it really got me
Torn apart,
But that never should have stopped me
Have I said too much yet?
Moving full-speed ahead
I've learned how to mend
And beautiful things come with
Those who've been bent
I read today
The comforted comfort
We all deal with that stuff
You and me, him and her
The truth is...
Hard to tell
And if it were told
I'm not sure it would help
I thought I saw a light ahead
But it's hard to focus in a nightmare
Maybe I'll tell the truth instead
But I don't think I'm making sense
There's me,
And maybe I've said too much
Maybe reality's there
And I'm just out of touch
But I think the problem is that it's all too real
But how can I think
When I only feel?
I'm afraid that you'll leave
I'm afraid that you'll stay
I think over all,
I'm just really afraid
I want to be stable
I want to be brave
But I fear I'm unable
To make it that way
I'll stand in this corner
With a sign around my neck
That reads, "Am I more than
"You bargained for yet?"
Get this, understand one thing:
I'm not strong enough to be the reason
She doesn't see the sun anymore.
And now I'm sure,
I've said too much.

Schizophrenia

So maybe you should open up
That Bible on your desk
Instead of your unruly mouth
Whenever you're depressed

Houston, we have a problem
You may have become a thief

Today

I hope the clouds decided to part
And I hope the sun shines where you are

(Get up, Johnny boy.)



Twenty One Pilots

Broken.

And my words
Spewed out like a broken faucet
Too many and not enough
Thinking perhaps maybe I lost it
But I got something out
Hopefully you know now
That I'm listening, I'm listening
I'm never gonna get out

Yesterday

Leave me here
Juggling
These thoughts
Left me here
Struggling
I'm not
Listening to Tyler and Hayley
Two of the four who get me
I'm not
Missing anyone in particular
I'm not
Mopping a floor
Closing these doors
I'm not
Missing someone spectacular
I'm not
Holding anything back
Fighting, under attack
I'm not
Trying to fix my bad posture
I'm not
Keeping myself busy
Staying away from pity
I'm not
Wondering if I lost her
I'm not
Watching myself run again
Avoiding all their eyes again
I'm not
Missing anyone in particular
I'm not
Lip-singing rhymes
That could have been mine
I'm not
Going to miss the commissioner
I won't be
Writing about yesterday
Tomorrow when it's far away
I'm not
No, I'm not
But I am
Good at lying

Gold

Because forever would have been nice
If we never finished last night
But we left all the same
And you were gone with the rain
And I feel like I missed the goodbye

How can I leave such a beautiful year?
The thought might reduce me to tears
But I leave with these hopes
And I won't let them go
And you know, hope can cast out all fear

This morning's when I got the news
And you're always gone far too soon
Now you're driving away
Won't be back for four days
But it feels like four years, in all truth

But I'm confident in what He holds
A new year, and soon you'll come home
It's beginning so new
Not an end, as I viewed
And it's beautiful, a year full of gold

2014

Bittersweet,
It captures me
There are thoughts of the year we leave
Memories
I can't believe
Joy, trials, and victories
Now I see
What was happening
And I'm so glad for 2014

Familiar

I entered in this year with you
And by your side I left it, too
