Peaces of the Moon

There's a ring of roses around my limbs
They're sunk in water to help me swim
I break the surface when I'm not all there
I maintain my focus on wilting air

The weights strapped on pull me home
The drips above tell me to go
The orchid that birthed me must never know
I'm static between the depths of the ocean below

I hear the skip of stones above my head
Sailing from the hand of someone undead
I trace their presence to the shore
I emerge and breathe like never before.

Our mouths ajar with naught to say
We drift together in a different way
We're new, we're young and not afraid
But the roses around my arms will always stay

Ring of roses

Tenant (piano demo)

The cave 'twix too much and too little is easily missed
Somewhere between the two in the middle I dug my own ditch
It's filled with gifts and romance that I fire without a thought
I peek above the mud and glance at where they stop

'Cause I decide where my affections lie
I live a decree that I abide by
My hazy eyes see through the lash of the whip
My brain is fried but I won't quit
It's just another day

The burrowing snake starts to rattle and spits out new ideas
The craters of battles seem much less of a waste from here
You say that it's perspective that matters and not the cost
But behind you the broken chains begin to add up

Yet I decide where my affections lie
It's plain to see it's bleeding me dry
Is it hard to tell if I'm blind to this?
Would it help if I said sorry after every kiss?
Or should I wait?

Now I look and I can see clearly where it all went wrong
I drove to hard and burned my spirit and let it drag on too long
"I'm in control" is another lie I say to pass the day
The snake, the chains, the blood and the slave are thoughts too little too late

But I still decide where my affections lie
I hear it's a shame to love too much and die
What little claim I have to this husk
I tried to change and still I'm lost
And will never be the same

The Me Was Stolen From Me / RE: Everything

Might do a few more acoustic covers. If only to stave off writing my own lyrics (which takes me months)
