Every Ounce of Blood In Me

And every ounce of blood in meIs begging for you to forgive meI walk these streets barefootBut no broken glass or shattered feelings could keep me from youI know love scares youBecause it scares me tooAnd ill fight the world
with butterfly tears
and I’ll waste the longest years
but here I rest inside your eyesAnd in the nights fading moonI wait for morning but its not coming soonThe dark hours bring aboutThe days that our lives consumeThe smallest dreams come trueAfter I walked all the lines that led to you And in the swirl of your eyes, the beautiful mixtureBlue to yellow to green to blackTake the black from the greyAnd turn the night into dayDrop the sun from the skyAs it fades to black at nightDrift away in this gatewayThe moon bridge over the creekLate evening sun sinks beneath the cloudsAnd brings the colors no one can paintIt was a dark night in another timeThe roses bleed from their stemsThe nails of love sealed the coffin that I couldn’t findTake the glory from the memoriesAnd the pain from all the heart achesIn my arms, you can feel everythingEverything that heals youAnd I think that scares youAnd with this passion you spokeYou bring your silent reproachAnd the dreams you let slideAllows you to sleep tonightBut the short breath of time
brings back its truth not mine
our love is a dream that no one else can seeBecause tonight I lay awake and dwell on the mistakes I made
but if you forgive me I would go back, I would go straight back to sleepAnd the only thing keeping me alive
is the air you breathe for me tonight
the morning brings its clear lightThat was missing all nightBut I think I finally realize I won’t be anymoreI won’t be anything more than a distant dreamI never knew perfection tillI met you and I feel it stillBut I guess memories are some things to forgetI have seen love, and I have sulked around in its darkness
I have seen love, and I have danced in the light of its starlit nightsWe tried to make everything rightMemories and dreams were recollected all nightBut we simply gave upI love it how you play every hand
to bluff, you just don’t understandYou pull the love from my heart
and refuse to help it restartNobody told me
that this would always haunt me
I wonder what has drawn us together
and what will drive us apart
but right now nothing could be better
and we will become, silhouettes in the sunset
And fade togetherYou tell me you hate me
you tell me you love me
close my eyes and stare into the sunLet my heart slowly drift awaySo much of dreams deceitI am not prepared to figure these things outSet your sites for the sunBut fail before the moonFail before you even moveYou’re the noises in my headThe dreams leaving me awake in bedYou’re the memories that make me breakThe love that took all I could makeWords of wisdom, from your loveless heart“Forget you ever loved me-“The morning brings its clear lightNot yet polluted by loveBut the evening sky is all a lieThe smoke clouds of love pollute your eyesAnd all of the pieces that I am looking forYou left shattered, scattered on the floorWatch the sunrise and become the morning starIn my eyes you are the brightest star of allIt used to be that I had an allergy, love I couldn’t feelBut then I met you and things suddenly seemed realI was running from your hearts doorBut I refuse to run anymoreIn the garden of loveYour vines spread all aroundThey tangle me and torture meAnd keep me where I amBut I keep holding onI keep my heart from everyoneOnly to save it for your heart to reconnectThe shattered pieces and the broken feelingsHere is the wasted amount of loveThat I let slide out in the nightI can not explain who I amOnly ask the questions that you think you canThese unrelenting demons want your lifeBut they have no rightIf far away could save your faceAnd dream away this foreign placeHold my hand; I will be your guideThrough the dark corridors and chambers of this heartIf only you could save yourselfThere’s no need to impress the restBut in the middle of the nightYou find yourself aloneWaiting for your worst dreams, to hit your bonesBroken hearts and shattered dreamsThe loneliest kids you have ever seenI offered you my love and you turned me downI feel like a brick of gold never to be foundThis scene is so perfectOf course, it’s only a dreamBut for that moment, it’s you and me, and eternityHere in your eyesI feel so smallLike the world appears to the skyMy fingertips are burntFrom reaching into loves fireAnd my feet are scorchedFrom walking over the embers of our memoriesOnce a fire so bright you could see it for milesNow it’s only in a smoldering style
