Apple & Spices

Your feet know where they're going
Even when you can't see the stars
If your mind is a prison then
Reach your fingers through the bars
'Cause there's wind in your hair
And there's sun on your skin
And this land doesn't care
For your sins
There's sweat on your brow
And there's honey in your kiss
From where I stand we don't
Need anymore than this
And maybe we're running
But that's what legs are for
Not every ship
Needs to reach the shore
Home is the smell
Of apple and spices
A shot of whiskey
When the nights are cold
The bottle's still full
Though winter has started
What could be warmer
Than a hand to hold ?
You can't fix the past
Can't predict your future
But the present is yours
Like a tree to nurture
It doesn't feel like giving up
To keep you by my side
Love is not a secret
To hide
The night skies know our fears
Better than our dreams
With your lips on mine
We can smother the screams
If you need to leave soon
I just want you to know
That there's nowhere I want
To go
Home is the smell
Of apple and spices
A shot of whiskey
When the nights are cold
The bottle's still full
Though winter has started
What could be warmer
Than a hand to hold ?
You're welcome to make
Of my arms your home

Lack of Oxygen

I don't believe we are meant to be
But I believe we could have fun
I don't believe we are meant to
But I am too tired to run
And please don't think this is passion
Please don't call this mess love
From where I stand it is poison
And it won't ever be enough
If I coat my lips with chocolate
Will you grant me this
Accidental meaning
I don't want to pretend
That I can't feel this
Flame in my chest
You don't deserve these ashes so
If you ever get
Trouble breathing
Cut me off
Send me packing
Blame me for
The lack of oxygen
You think you know where we're going
If so why don't you take the lead
'Cause I can't tell what I'm doing
It's just so easy to bleed
And I tried to warn you I'm bad at this
At caring for things that matter
How can you think I'll do us justice
How can you think we won't get hurt
If I coat my lips with chocolate
Will you grant me this
Accidental meaning
I don't want to pretend
That I can't feel this
Flame in my chest
You don't deserve these ashes so
If you ever get
Trouble breathing
Cut me off
Send me packing
Blame me for
The lack of oxygen
I'm torn
Between wanting you
And wanting what's good for you
Owo
Is it better if
I leave the choice to you ?
If I coat my lips with chocolate
Will you grant me this
Accident
I just want a way to pretend
That we can decide
What this meant
If I coat my lips with chocolate
Will you grant me this
Accidental meaning
I don't want to pretend
That I can't feel this
Flame in my chest
You don't deserve these ashes so
If you ever get
Trouble breathing
Cut me of
Send me packing
Blame me for
The lack of oxygen

There's a little love
Small enough to be tucked
Under my chin
As the rain pours down
Over the world, washes it
Clean of its sins
And we lie awake, lie awake
Come on my love
Won't you please
Have mercy?
I will keep you
Safe and warm
I won't leave you on
Your own
There's a little love
Violent truth
Spilling out of its skin
And I drink it down
Make a sea of my liver
For all to drown in
And we lie awake, lie awake
Come on my love
Won't you please
Have mercy?
I will keep you
Safe and warm
I won't leave you on
Your own
'Cause there's fire and brimstone
When I am away
There's a heart that's in pieces
And a million mistakes
There's a monster that roams
In the night
There's something scary
In your eye
And we hide away, hide away
Come on my love
Won't you please
Have mercy?
I will keep you
Safe and warm
I won't leave you on
Your own
There's a little love...

An Empty Room

There’s a song
That plays when someone calls
Me on my phone
And I know the words
Only to the first line
It never rings further
There is an empty room
Where the notes echo
Like so many arrows
Through my heart
But I don’t have time
For the things that are mine
I owe it to the world to be fine
There's a man
I don't really like
He has eyes just like mine
He's not enough
He walks 'til he drops
Still the pain never stops
He has a heart of gold
That's what they say
For all the good that it does him
He cannot see
That the path that he walks
Will lead to a dead end
That's paved with half-assed intent
Never knew I could drown
'Til I went for a swim
Never know I need to breathe
'Til my head starts spinning
Never knew I could love something
When I need it just to survive
Never knew I could dream
About not being right
You asked me how I was once
I didn't know what to say
I'm not used to that question
From someone who cares
You said
Pick a flavor of ice-cream
I know we're getting dinner soon
But there is more to a good thing
Than being on schedule
You said
You hate the bare walls
Your job and your cellphone
Why not try to love yourself
A little
Bit more
