03.24.10 city of giants

city of giants

when i left you made it harder

harder on us both

harder on the folks who knew us well

tell me that you don't remember

how you asked me not to come back anymore

everyone is marching

to save the city of giants

falling around us

ashes to ashes we all fall down

your kindness never came easy

for that i forgive and forget

leave you to repent and regret

but never change

why you didn't try so hard to please me

and how i tried so hard

to let you go

there's nothing that tells me more

than what you say when

than when you say you're not sure

03.17.10 come hell or high water

come hell or high water

come hell or high water

i will keep it all together

everything i do i will do better

and everything i make will not fail

and i will live like I'm dying

and die when I'm ready to go

and we will love like we're trying

to be something so apropos

and all these separate consciences

won't ever know me

ever know you

but seek I try only to keep

what few ever find

and all ache to have

03.04.10 the difference between

the difference between

it starts as a blow to my hearti thought that we could drift like thispast the cities and their streetsthe trash i built up just to keepmyself and everybody else just like me
i don't know the difference betweenthe words that we say and the ones that we meanwe can stay until everyone's homei like you with thembut i want you alone
somehow things always go wronguntil they go rightand we get alongi fight to break down the doorthat you walked right throughlike no one before
