The World Devoured

For another day

I got blue skies
On perfect days
To share

I got the whole world
At my feet
But you're not there

I got sad times
Things unsaid
And crosses to bear

I got ways to tell you
The way it really is
But I don't dare

Because what would you say?
There's a choice
For me to make
And I'm putting it over
For another day
So I can keep you
In this fish tank

I got small hands
That shake
When you get that tone

And I shiver with
Anticipation
Waiting for the bombs

To fall
In this cold war
Of contrition
For my salvation
I'd like
To take you home

But I got demons
In the background
That won't leave me alone

But what would you say?
We know there's a choice
For me to make
And I'm putting it over
For another day
So I can keep you
In this
In this
So you stay
In this
In this

Full of
'I don't knows'
And 'I suppose'
Got a glass key
Between my toes
And if I run from you
Ill cease to be
But I can't seem
To know this mad hatter
Party game
Of growing big
And growing small

What would you say?
If I told the truth
About the choices I make
That I'm putting it over
For another day
So I can keep you
So that I can keep you
So that I can keep you
For another day

They Say

They say
That one day
I won't need
This apparatus
To breathe

They say
That one day
Ill be able to say
What it is I really mean

And when that day comes
Will u even recognize me?
Or will it have been
Too much sacrificed

Roll the dice, sugar,
Roll the dice
Because you know
He's right

It's all there is
A crap shoot gamble
But I even though I know
It's more than I can handle

I keep thinking
That with enough time
I'll be able to find
The solution to this game of free cell

And make it okay
And fuck what they say
