(elegance elegance)
Waltzing in circular pattern diamonds and pearls threaded around necks like nooses at a mass execution.
Romance is inhaled and exhaled like oxygen with a hint of a hallucinogen.
1's and 2's 3's and 4's minnoettes and peiroettes dancing to pretend we're happy dancing to deny pain.
(hurt will always hit with perfect aim)
Depressed with smiles pressed against teeth and lips.
Looks, stares, promises, and dares we dare to find what we call happiness on this dance floor.
(maybe something more)
This night was unwanted but still we taunted romances

And the truth is your bodys shaking and...
I'm not listening or caring.
Is it nice to lose all feeling in your face?

"Your secrets safe Baby"
I'll swipe this smirk with a look of deep desperation.
Your backbone is persistant.
Keep in mind a reminder, "I need to grow a spine."
Do you want to make this last longer then a night?
I just wanna get buried in this mattress.

Im going to convulse until these old lungs forget to function.
And since we all love bumper cars,
Lets dare to drink.

To be a threat to windshields and wood.

Single Handedly Sinking MyselfWhen I saw you at a distant glance, I felt hope tugging on the bottom seams of my shirt. And it made me think "maybe someone can make you feel completely sane and secure." But yet he is just a boy and I'm just a girl that goes unnoticed. Even if I made an attempt to stand out I'm sure he would never be interested. I could drop hints like bombs in war and still not make a dent in his thoughts. Or break this ice between him knowing and not knowing I actually exist. So I'll look down grasping my books as I blend in with everyone else in the crowded hallways of this school.

space inbetween the thing we call

Where we find comfort in almost anything.
Just to keep our minds racing,
dream of things we only fantasize of.
And its 4PM somewhere greater than we could think up.
December sells intentions to us high hoping thinkers.
Magically the stone cold unthaws,
making soft spots on your lungs.
Taking it all in
Taking me in
With skyline seating.

So prince not so charming,

Planes are more graceful in a freefall,

I stood on tip toe and felt the air close in on me.
I was reaching for oxygen as much as stars.
My eyes and my lungs needed more than I could get.
You sit on the moon, swinging your feet, laughing.
Tears fall from my eyes and you yell down at me
"If you were at the height I am, you could pass that off for rain."
I ran inside the abandoned building that used to be "home".
The peeling paint chipped and when I looked, it was under my fingernails.
I scrapped my way to the room at the very top.
I looked up at the small lightbulb and watched it flicker out.
The window was missing too, a tree bra

but the gentlemen you are, you bought it all.
Dragging it out like a smoker savors the inhales of a cigarette.
The carbon is escaping through the corners of your lips.
Oxygen runs wild through the strands of my golden locks.
Bandit eyes and a smile I stole from a 10 year old girl.
"Ive kept you close in form of a note."
Admitting that lines 1-20 is your bible which you live by.
Im downing pure caffiene and,
youre casually reciting self flaws as if they were accomplishments.

Despite the sun going down.
Concentration of cold hearts.

Lasso it from the Pacific sunset
and throw it back up into our skyline.
Embrace its beauty
Cause this may not last long.
I've been praying for days on end now.
Let the light come and peek through your window.
Let it warm your face and greet you
"Hello Gorgeous" every morning.
Cause if I was there thats what I'd be whispering across the pillowcase.
And smirking in complete adoration
"You look amazing at the crack of dawn"

Girl, you'll only wake up looking older.
You're still so blind and foolish
Lay the blame on the poor boy.
I'm sure he'll think this thoroughly,
As sweat beads down across his face,
Unraveling under all the stress,
"Now lets put you to the test."
He's falling over "guilt trips"
Barely hanging onto a look into tomorrow,
Smile flickers like a light switch (Up and ....

Touch and taste of her deadly weapon,
Lethal glamour in her kiss
Yet keeps pushing on her luck

we're packed and ready to leave this God forsaken town.
Escaping through the backdoor.
No clues or trace of us will get left behind.
Marked maps, no money for gas,
we hit the highways.
Accelerate, brake,

Key in ignition,
What's in store 40 miles from here?
Our destination?
An uncommon break in the lines?
And we're what is called a "Runaway".
I think it's called a "Getaway".

Swing, Swing
The swaying of the swings,
The squeaking chain rocking back and forth,
Your death on a rope is like your swinging life at the park,
Swing, Swing as our lives drift us by,
Do we fall together or will we die apart,
I won't walk at night without you leading my way,
I would give you a kiss if you held my hand,
Take me down in the grass, hold me down till I cant breath,
Don't tickle me I might cry a few tears,
Swing, Swing together as one,
Look we are married in our own little world,
If you swing high enough maybe you will fly,
A story unwritten, a life unfinished,
The smiles and laughs float away,
Will you be here awhi

Broken heart split seams by all means
a tragedy struck her with ease
Filled with lies an promising goodbyes
I can feel her pain and shes anything but thrilled

The akward wait, the mixtape for her escape with
the songs we sung the ones left undone.
Screaming turns to dreaming and her
feelings are left streaming down her cheaks.
While she sleeps I trace the words to her door
i've came to fix what happen before.
Every kiss laced with words unspoken
to mend ever piece i left broken.
