Expiration Date
Howling deep into the night
From a room as far as the moon; red the eyes
Swirling ‘round the will to survive
I took the path with wind at my back to revive…survive
The constant pledge that no soul could draw you away
Came with an expiration date after all
This mourning blends into the night now
Beds are made and vows betrayed; the truth alight
Hasty I forgave
Numbing scenes of how you behaved
Amnesia wishes self-induced to get through
The constant pledge that no man could call you away
Came with an expiration date
A promise made with conditions hidden in the shade
That were spoken in a way to stray
And came with that expiration date…after all
And if I let you in again
The defences are pulled back
Be I a fool for it
Or just closer to closure
I don’t know if there is a difference at all…

I Could Be Wrong
Deeper into the black pool now
The dream has been realised
Beneath the flower lies the thorns that
Can pierce a heart like a knife
I know this time may be different
I could be wrong
I could be wrong
To hope feels like an experiment
I could be wrong
I kinda hope I’m wrong…
Thoughts tornado ‘round my mind now
Revolving seldom landing
The moves you make can raise the stakes when
A heart is part of the game
And I know this time may be different
And I could be wrong
I could be wrong
To hope feels like and experiment
I could be wrong
I kinda hope I’m wrong
And I know this time may be different
I could be alone
But I could be wrong
To hope feels like and experiment
I could be wrong
I kinda hope I’m wrong

It’s Time
So it’s happening again
Cue a solo violin
The duet’s done
And the echoes have begun
Riding tandem to the brink
The bike was severed by a sphinx
Warning signs that beast eats Valentines
Were obscured by reassurances and trust
When you offer all
That’s what you lose
Sifting through the rubble
Finding long lost shadows of yourself…
It’s time…to pull them from the shelf
It’s time…reintroduce yourself

Wild Dreams
Your heart colossal
Nothing short of magical
His lies were contemptible
So indefensible
Oh I know
In my wildest dream
I forgive everything
In my wildest dreams
It is gone
Such a selfless being
You gave us everything…and more
Oak Harbor was a tragedy
Oh so clear I see the strength of love
With our lives confused and upside down
We packed up and left that town
Not looking back
In my wildest dreams
Requite you for everything
In my wildest dreams
It is enough
But it’s impossible
A kindness unmatchable
Still I try…
Oh I’ll try…
