Vulnerability

It tastes like fresh rain hitting the soggy ground,
Where my feet do get wet.
What would you whisper to me through the rain?
If you could, if I would bother to listen.
Would you tell me you love me?
Would you tell me nothing, because you feel nothing?
What if we spoke nothing but pure emotion?

I listen to the melody through the bullets,
I can hear the humming through the sobbing, but barely.
If you could tell me what you want from me,
Do you think I could give it to you?
Am I worthy?
Can...can I kiss you?
Just a little, to taste the rain.
To taste the vulnerability.

Let me stay the night,
I cannot trust you home alone.
Not with the ammo of your thoughts,
No, no, I cannot.
If you could tell me what you want from me,
Do you think I could give you an apple from the tree?
I know it is forbidden, but everything worth having is.

I'm hiding something from you,
But that is a double-sided mirror.
You run through the grassy field, smiling widely for me.
I smile back, it is forced, it is pained.
When you turn around to steady your footing,
I don't know what happens to your smile,
And maybe you like it that way.
No one wants to see a person with sensitivity anymore,
No, that would just be silly.
You fortress your thoughts.
You fortress your feelings.

If we would listen,
What would you whisper to the people in your life,
Through the deafness?
Would you whisper anything at all?
Would you tell us you hate us?
Let's speak pure emotion,
Let's feel nothing but pure emotion,
If we feel anything at all.
Let me kiss you, but only a little,
To be rained upon, to liven my dry heart.
To experience your sad, sad vulnerability.

Games

Playing with fire on cold hands,
There's a torch waiting to be lit.
I'm an eater of hearts,
Tell me where it starts,
Fill me with pretty butterflies,
Tell me where it starts.

American dance,
Foreign romance,
Killer killer cage,
Break me out of this jail,
I just can't come clean.
I was happy yesterday,
And I'll be happy tomorrow,
But today, tell me where it starts.
I'm sick of playing your games.

Look where you're going,
A high wire wraps around your neck,
So tread carefully with your clown shoes.
I'm done with games,
So tell me where it starts,
For I'm an eater of hearts.
Just give yours up,
Be a part of me forever.
I won't get close to someone,
I can't get close to anyone,
I've created loyalty to my fantasies.

Playing with fire on cold hands,
There's a torch waitin' to be lit,
I'm an eater of hearts,
Tell me where it starts,
Fill me with pretty butterflies,
Tell me where it ends.

Quotes From The Nest

“Every one is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody”-Mark Twain

Vulture

I take my throne of flames as my own,
And as I sit,
My lovely vulture takes my eyes.

Darkness

Don't smile for him,
Don't do this to me.
Play along,
Play my heart like a drum.
Ba-bum, ba-bum, ba-bum it beats,
A tune of despair.

Darkness falls,
And the sun,
Falls into the ocean.
Love, a devotion.
Said, a claim,
Exhchanging death for fame.

I look up to the sun,
And as it falls into the sea,
I look to the heavens,
And wonder what could be.
You should be mine, you should be mine.
Hunter's don't stop,
Hunter's don't stop.

Darkness falls,
And the sun,
Falls into the ocean.
Love, a devotion.
Said, a claim.
Exchanging death for fame.

Broken eyes,
Sagging lips,
We're all for one,
And one for all.
With love, this tall.
Darkness will fall.
Hide away with me,
Hide with me forever.

Darkness falls,
And the sun,
Falls into the ocean.
Love, a devotion.
Said, a claim.
Exchanging death for fame.

Secrets

In the end,
We'll still be.
In the end,
There will be nothing else,
But you and me.
If there's an end,
Let it end with death.

Nothing more than regret,
Nothing less than forgiveness.
Nothing but love.

Lonely people hold their secrets,
Afraid to lose what little they have.
What I find funny is sad,
And my pain makes you glad.
At least that's what I take from it,
If you're keeping a lonely secret.

Lonely people walk the streets,
Even together, they are alone.
Walking past their demons,
Secrets wrapped around them,
Chains of silence.

In the end,
There will be no judge,
No jury,
And no executioner.
Only open arms and a bottle of whiskey.
In the end,
Seas fill with blood,
A beautiful flow of crimson.
Velvet ribbons upon land,
So soft and so smooth.
(so soft and so smooth)

Harsh times, upon us.
Lively dancing and murder.
Cheating spouses, hidden bodies.
Violated children,
Divided lands,
All saddened minds.

Moths eat the silk on your sweet lips,
Untying the mouth that has been shut for so long.
Finally speak to me,
Finally speak to me,
Let me hear another voice,
Besides the ones in my head.

But, unlike an innocent moth,
You run from the light,
Into darkness, I follow you.
Then I lose you in the deceit, and you leave me there.
(You leave me there)

In the end,
It will all come to us, softly and rest upon my ears,
Then I will look into the eyes of this hell of a secret.
I will risk all I love and embrace,
All I love and embrace.
(All I love and embrace)

In the end,
There will be no judge,
No jury,
And no executioner.
Only open arms and a bottle of whiskey.
In the end,
Seas will fill with your tears,
As my body bleeds out the bloody tears that my eyes don't produce.
A beautiful rain down upon me, and down your soft skin.
A waterfall that crushes me mentally.
I'll behold the monster you think you are,
And the corpse I'll become,
I'll still love you in the end.
(I'll still love you in the end)

In the end,
There will be a lesson.
In the end,
There will be no more secrets.

Mystery

When was I a mystery?
When I came through to you,
From the protruding fog?
Unleash...unleash me.
Pale iris in my eyes.
Unleash me, upon your loveless existence.

When was I a mystery?
When I broke your reality?
When I became a dream?
I became unforgettable.
You became my desire.
Unleash me, unleash my love.
Behold as the pyre burns,
Your happiness on top of it,
When it dies down, I become a dream again.
A dream again.

When was I a mystery?
When I came through to you,
From the choking fog?
Unleash...unleash me.
Pale iris in my eyes,
But, no, I am not blind,
I see you're lonely,
And I'm your savior.
Unleash me upon your loveless existence.

Pale iris in my eyes,
I'm drowning in the chestnut pool in yours.
Find me through the smoke and mirrors,
I'm only a mystery if you won't care to look.
Find me, love. When I exist more than in your dreams.
Unleash me upon your loveless existence,
Unleash my desire,
Unleash the sun,
Unleash my love upon your waiting lips.
