-Lyrics-

-Intro-

Chorus: If I could just remember the words I said
I would be alright
If I could just remember the words I said tonight
Then my intentions never would be misread
We wouldn’t have to fight
If I could just remember the words, my love…

Verse 1: But abstract eruptions 
of emotions manifest and congest
my inner vision when I try to recollect.
And my breath is getting heavy, 
I bereave the hidden phrases that just
can’t seem to make their way into the forefront
of my blunt mind. I’m running out of time.
I’ve gotta find my way back
to a linguistic type of tongue that’s in tact.
And in fact, if I’m not on track, 
My rhythmic dialect will disturb
our overture of love and words…

(Chorus)

Bridge: But they always leave me. Why?
Say that you believe me!

Verse 2: It’s like every single time I begin, it’s the end.
No more sentencing. I’m slowly losing touch with what’s within.
My meaning is slipping, I mean there’s no definition,
I’m falling into submission, I black out and fade in.
Now I’m closer to knowing the words I was going for 
then out of nowhere I’m stumbling and muttering
nonsense. Can’t seem to clear my subconscious 
mind, I sound obnoxious, the worst part about it is
you and I falling apart in the dark pit that stirs
all of my forgotten words…

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

-Outro-

Absent Mindedness

@Deathvialove @MindsFlawed @THEMpeoplemusic
I really want #deathvialove to be more then just a musical project i want it to be a vessel I want it to be a somthing Somone looks back on and goes "wow what was she thinking?" I want people to hear me and understand me I want them to forget to breathe and skip a heart beat and when they've ran out of air and time stops they come back to reality a little less empty i want them to be able to think for them selves and ask questions I want to feed their curiosity make them imagine i want to see how far does the mind go how deep can it grow I want people to question everything anyone has ever told them and think do I believe this cause I really believe it or do I believe this cause the people Ive been doomed to associate with believe this and if I defy them I defy "god" if I defy them I'm considered ill or mentally unstable I want people to know its ok to be afraid and to cry to love and to leave or be left and to grow its okay to make mistakes and break rules it's okay to test boundaries just don't find yourself testing boundaries for anybody else but your self i want to inspire and be inspired by those who surround me I want to love uncontrollably till my heart explodes and my voice is lost some where between the things I'm afraid to say and the things I've said that i didn't mean. I want people to hear my story and know that magic is real and to never loose sight of what really matters not money not time but love unconditional unselfish no egos no secrets honest genuine compassionate plutonic love That's what matters and to know that even when it feels like someone has ripped that love from your stomach and your heart feels like it's been attached to a million bricks and cast into the ocean life goes on and the only thing left to do is forgive and continue loving and it sucks and it hurts and you'll cry but at least your not alone cause I feel you.

I heard you
I heard you been getting around 
Didn’t deserve you
Didn’t deserve the way you held me so down
Sticky situations I find myself in 
We know what this 
No use in pretending 
With every conversation it gets too intense
Nothing without intention
You play games that you win
And that is why

You
Unusual 
Chaotic but 
So beautiful  
I know you know I know 
I see through the ruse 
Come be my muse
Let’s break the rules 
You go I go you go 

Ice man with the finger roll
Current state looking pitiful 
Down on my luck and down on my knees my view is cynical
Sonically sound as smooth as a baby’s bottom
The bottom of barrels baby I’m beggin you please 
I’m looking over the edge 
(Internet explorer)
Love lives over the hedge and yet I’ve never known her 
Them type of feelings be making you start your day slower 
Make you say you know maybe I’d rather be alone or
At least that’s what I used to think before we met  
I don’t play tennis but it’s back and forth a match it could set 
You point me to new types of things I never could forget 
The day I let you go I make decision I regret 
You know 
You make me feel like all my feelings need verifying
If nothing else I’m out my depths and it’s terrifying 
You got something ain’t nothing like
And that is why
And that is why

You
Unusual 
Chaotic but 
So beautiful  
I know you know I know 
I see through the ruse 
Come be my muse
Let’s break the rules 
You go I go you go

but even when you’re here

you aint done that in a while darling 

an its only a matter of time 
you’ll leave me and i know it
you love her darlin
show it 
an its only a matter of time 
you’ll leave me and i know it
you love her darlin
show it 

cause you’re drifting away
you get further and further everyday
I’m such a fool 
i just keep on
pulling you back
and you don’t wanna stay
but you don’t wanna hurt me 
an you don’t know what to say
you just keep on 
pulling me back

an its only a matter of time 
you’ll leave me and i know it
you love her darlin
show it 
an its only a matter of time 
you’ll leave me and i know it
you love her darlin
show it 

an i’ll make it easy you 
i’ll throw a fit an you can storm out like you always do
and it’ll be like nothings changed
i’ll pretend that you coming back just the same
i’ll pretend you’re coming to stay

an its just a matter of time 
you’ll leave me and i know it
you love her darlin
show it 
an its just a matter of time 
you’ll leave me and i know it
you love her darlin
show it

Trust Me Imma Fly away
I'll fly away from here

To better days
