I don't feel it       I don't feel it
I like or love you, it's true
I think it or I say, pretty much everyday
My mind, yes but missing a part, my heart
Is this real, if so, where is, how I feel
I care, missing you when you're not there
Is it your presence, simply the essence
Sharing the same air, when you're there
When not around, it's still ground
Seeds in the field, yet nothing will yield
Ripples in a pond end, no matter how far they extend
This “love†is how deep, unknowing makes me weep
Is there an answer to find, it's just all in my mind
Running around to say, I just don't feel a way
A way I should, not doing so, not so good
Like it's there but not at all, I'm chasing a waterfall
Doubt will reign, I need rain, only real with pain
Isn't it suppose to tear me apart, melt my heart
Where's the agony, the hard hits with no apology
It's not this easy right?, Should be a burning light
Bruises and scars you get, yet I don't feel it | 
  
  
  
       
      Torturing my Soul       Sitting here contemplating
So much it's aggravating
Where's my love? I'm tired of waiting
Too many paths, I start debating
Choices are laying before me
Stretching further than eyes see
How ever far I can't even hitchhike
It all feels wrong it seems like
Whichever you choose
You'll most likely lose
Don't mind him, jump, try to fly
You'll sore or be sore, can't hurt to try
Well I guess I can't be picky
Things may be tricky
If I never step, I'll never know
Letting myself take a chance and go
This one here has the least invested
Start from scratch, nothing tested
The waters couldn't be clearer
Issue being how do I get near her
Not a problem physically
More so just emotionally
How do you approach love to a stranger
That may end up as emotional danger
Well that one may not be right
You're going in without sight
What's life without taking a risk
Search her soul, why hesitate, stop and frisk
Maybe you're right, I still don't know
All of my fears, I... | 
  
  
  
       
      Snow       Part of me is tired of the heat year round
Dreaming of the first time i saw snow hit the ground
All my life I've dealt with warm weather
Maybe a change of climate would be better
It could be more enjoyable than the norm
Happiness has more than one form
Being in the same spot has gotten old
The hot days are overrated. Time for some cold
I wouldn't mind much cooler weather
For each of the week i believe i have a sweater
Sand is nice but i want to play in the snow
If i wear the right things I'll be warm wherever i go
Should i just uproot my life and change from what i know
Just to spend it with cold weather and snow
Or do i just want a break from the mundane
To just be spontaneous and a little insane.
My body is use to being warm so would i even survive
Who knows it could make me feel more alive
Finding the peace of mind I've longer for
Healing my life long sore
Snow angels and snowball fights
Snowmen and chilly nights
An actual winter season.
Do i need... | 
  
  
  
       
      Elephant Shoe       Elephant shoe 
At this point there's too much I feel 
The stuff of dreams becoming real 
Manifesting itself more over time 
Yet I must remain a mime 
Every action louder than every word 
Hoping what you see doesn't fo unheard 
For the time being this what I can do 
To simply show you elephant shoe 
Leagues, fathoms, no deeper than this 
Truly desiring that first kiss 
Along with the fireworks it would bring 
Leaping forward in time like the beginning of spring 
Just to fall back in love, unconditionally forced 
After walking in without being coerced 
Yes I'm aware those two were contradictions 
Elephant shoe with no bounds, thus no restrictions 
So I can be whatever it is you need me to be 
Until we reach what I feel will happen inevitably 
No rush or no haste, lets take things slow 
Longer it takes to build the further it will go

      Nothing Else       Nothing else 
All day and all night 
I think of you and its alright 
The time spent in sun's light 
Even with closed eyes you're in my sight 
My light in the dark. 
Guess I was cupids mark 
Bloody from the last, he was the shark 
Bitten by love so that's another mark 
Deep runs the eventual scar 
Like leagues or whatever is far 
Fetching for you, the dim star 
Brightest burn fast and forever we are 
A soft glow is enough 
Keeps me smiling when life's tough 
Smooth out all that is rough 
Bending rocky roads like Toph 
If you missed it I'm not going back 
Moving foward and can't slack 
In love's game, increasing my stack 
Pressured but I'll never crack 
Black don't crack and diamonds are forever 
We fill each requirement to last together 
Through anything, life can throw whatever 
My hea...  | 
  
  
  
       
      Simple Things       Simple Things
Before serious "i love you"s and "i do"
Before the finer things between us two
I just want us to have some time to share
While waiting on the love train we can gather the fare
Putting together the exact change
The things we could do have an unlimited range
So much im common as if set up by fate
We could have the most interesting date
Nerd out in a comic book store
Argue who would win against Thor
Or who's the absolute best hero
The level of boredom either way is zero
Maybe have a movie night
Theater or home, it's alright
Sitting close, you rest your head on my chest
Afterwards, debate which scene was the best
I could cook for you or you can for me
Or order pizza if we disagree
Marathon one of our favorite shows
This list just goes and goes
A walk and or a picnic in the park
Lay under the stars when it gets dark
After we watch the sunset
Finding the constellations, naming each set
Maybe have a sleep over at the house
No sex, just ... | 
  
  
  
       
      Why Wait       Why Wait 
This may end up being more of a rant 
I can wait but just doing nothing, I can't 
Just sitting here twiddling my thumb 
Drifting off looking dumb 
So to all of that I have to say no 
We like each other so let's go 
Not saying we have to ride into the sun 
Just that the journey of a thousand miles starts with one 
Feelings linger on the past and I completely understand 
Why not collaborate since you're about to leave that band 
Artists do it all the time, so can we 
Write some lyrics or at least make the melody 
It doesn't have to be a full blown business deal 
A kick starter just for proof this is real 
Making each other smile as we wait 
Something simple and meaningful as a date 
Skyscrapers started of as a mere blueprint 
We could scratch the surface, make a dent 
No need to level a building or an entire field 
For we...  | 
  
  
  
       
      A Dream       I have a very instense dream last night 
A war against the machines so I had to fight 
The best warriors at my side 
This battle could change the tide 
For the most part it felt like I had no control 
As if just watching me from a separate soul 
Then I had a thought that broke me through 
Where, in the midst of all of this, were you 
In an instant I felt everything 
The sounds of gun fire and explosions ring 
From the looks of it we were winning 
Though the battle was ending I was beginning 
All i could do was search for you 
I had to find you no matter what I had to do 
Took down quite a few machines along the way 
Last thing I remember was an explosion blowing me away 
The awoke from my dream so I assume I died 
Wanting to see you one last time, at least I tried 
So I came to realize something true 
That I don't want my life to end if it's not en...  | 
  
  
  
       
      Not Ready       Not ready?
For a relationship you said you're not ready
Neither am I so we'll keep it slow and steady
Though I can no longer shade how I feel
To contain this, there's no strong enough seal
Have you ever tried covering the sun?
Just simple can't be done
So I'll continue to burn for you
Until you're ready to make our 1s a 2
Been in love but this is way more
Much deeper than waters I sank in before
On an entirely different level of love
To me you are the sexiest dove
If this was a game, can't wait for the co-op
Form a creed of our own to make hearts stop
Gaining experience and leveling up together
Always extra DLC so we'll play forever
Or we could live our favorite manga or anime
Adventures that may not always go our way
Even still we'll overcome and tall we'll stand
Cause unified our power level is over 9000
This is my promise you that I'll hold
I'll be your warmth when you're cold
We don't, at least not now, have to open heaven's gate
Not ready? Th... |
