Siren sounds and caution tape
fear in their eyes
will you be kind?

No finger prints or evidence
unknown alibis
a beautiful crime

So I'm on the run again
with no place to hide
I'm caught in search lights

But if I'm the one surrendering
My hands to the sky
Will you be mine?

Cause I don't kill what I don't shoot
And my iron sights weren't aimed at you
So you can stay or leave but I've cut you loose
and you're innocent like I'm bullet proof

Our hearts are like hostages
and love is a bribe
But I've done my time

So I won't need oxygen
to know I'm alive
I'm sketched in chalk lines

My heart won't grow cold
Won't shrivel won't slow
My hopes and my scars
are miles apart

So i'll just be a honey bee
that stung you and died
you'll be alright, You'll be just fine


Honey Bee

Daylight, Finite
Lead me like head lights
Blackened, My eyes
Questions on my mind

Answer, Silence
Or leave me with my sins
Shutters, Eyelids
searching for distance
 
I am awake for the firs time
 

flatline progress
goosebumps and cold sweat
reminders and regrets
i'll come back i promise

 
Although you feel alone
I am wherever you go
on Those winding roads
Speed through thoughts and  streets
an empty passenger seat
So don't fall asleep


North Star shine bright
don't bleed out from moon light
a fraction a far cry
a glimmer of daylight


I am awake for first time

Untitled

I stand on stilts towering so tall 
Nothing can pull me down 
But one minor motion can make me fall 
I’m teetering to the ground 
With my hands and my feet I have all that I need
But greed still reminds me of more
So I’ll sit and pull teeth
At the bits of my piece
And wait for something to form

Cause thin limbs can’t hold like cards to a wall
But my head is in the clouds	
If others dreams fold this hand I will hold
So please will you hear me out


Every picture  I paint is a memory displayed
Each pigment a different result 
if the colors do fade or if the canvas is frayed
I hope it’s still beautiful
So I’ll set the tone even if its monochrome
Cause the devil is in the details
And the details alone are connected like bones 
So the memories will never be frail

So this one thing I’ll hold if the image erodes
when we take our final bows
And  the picture Erased leaves a scar on the page
So you can’t mark me out
