And I know that we're in trouble here and that people had their doubts they say that everyone, everywhere deserves someone dear but I just have no faith in that So I will bandage your wounds I'll cover your hurt take back what I said things you did not deserve but now three days later and I've still had no word no message or warning of things you have learned days turn to weeks and I forget your face I'm sorry my love I lie here disgraced so I'll do this for you I need you to feel it it will hurt but it will heal how I wish you'd believe it don't say goodbye there's just no good to it this space in my chest I have nothing to fill it and the feeling of sinking goes on it goes on until I reach your shore there is nowhere I'd rather belong And I remember it Andrew that story you told those words still ring inside my head no they never, they never got old I should tell you that the feeling never left me when you showed me your scars and we talked about the night you nearly died I could see there was an absence of God from the look in your eyes Well it seems there is nothing I can do no there is nothing I can do reaching out to touch it so desperate just to clutch it my knuckles turn to white and my blood begins to run to the floor So where is your compassion dear? do you have to hide it away? is there nothing you have trapped deep inside? like a bird in a cage so desperate for you to set free now I'm starting to wonder here if your heart is so small that if we kept on going in circles it would shrink and it would fade until there was nothing no heart at all

Treasures 03:37
And I would wrap my arms around you wherever you are wherever you are And I'd keep you as safe as I could put your heart in a box and your thoughts in a book do not turn stay stay straight there's so much to relate Tell me now how long do we have you've been so very brave you fought it throughout now there's just one thing left to do now have faith in our God that there's a way out (A way out) There's a fork in the road and I don't know where to turn I look to the sky and hope to learn But his words they were just works of fiction I wish I never read that book and I know its such a contradiction but my dear I'm telling the truth Take back everything you should have said the promises the promises now there's nothing no treasures left just emptiness just emptiness It all came together only for us to fall apart I still hear your voice in mine and I carry your heart in my heart

A Menagerie 04:07
it all came came to me when sitting here writing but where to begin to tell of the story of two lovers entwined in hopelessness and tragedy and a past they can't hide constantly beset by misfortune unimaginably torn at by forces with jealous eyes and a menagerie of lies and deception their pursuit of perfection is hounded by demons and a fear of rejection he took her hand said to be strong looked into her eyes kissed her tears and carried on

Letters 04:27
I've given up writing you letters stop telling me I am better off I thought time would let me forget her Well dear this time I've had enough So go hide with your walls and your friends I can see I can see through them all For you I'd spill my blood on the concrete But I fear you'd feel nothing at all This is a battle This is a war I am forced to fight This is a battle I just tried to do what I thought was right This is a battle This is a war From here i can see the horizon I'm pulling myself up from the depths you don't think I see but I see you I'm trying to reach out before I forget You said to rise far above it but I'm falling short falling way beneath I'm tired and I'm truly disgusted at such a lack of self belief Take one last breath and focus on the good take one last breath I'll be the man I should I know that we've been misled but these lights will guide you home its not like when we first met but I'd give you all I own I've given up writing you letters stop telling me I am better off I thought time would make me forget her Well dear this time I've had enough So go hide with your walls and your friends I can see I can see through them all For you I'd spill my blood on the concrete But I fear you'd feel nothing at all

I refuse to to let this burn out to flicker and die and turn to memory I can't regret when I grow old there will be peace in our hearts if we hold this close inside And every night I spent I spent alone did I ever stand a chance? when you wouldn't let me drown When it fell through my hands when it tore through my head I would die just to know if you're even alive And remember me remember your place here as broken as I am I am Alive
