Fairy Tales

 
A happy ending isn't guaranteed
Even in a fairy tale

Have you really read those tales?
Honestly, no one really wins.
No matter the perspective 
the darkness touches them all
at some point or it always lingers
at the end of the day...
Closing our eyes it finds us again

So why do we dream of love and endings 
That are like a fairy tale

I finally understand
jaded folks from my youth now gone,
I just don't know where or how.
Now I'm fulfilling a need
or just a worn out ditch that I find
society has made
a perfect fit like it's just for me.

I always thought that I had missed out but 
My whole life's a fairy tale 

I know because nothing lasts
I'm a dreamer in a nightmare that
I knowingly forced myself to stay in
The more you try the harder it gets 
Always trying to stay in the light 
But darkness is always there waiting
When I close my eyes ... Waiting
I close my eyes... Always
I close my eyes... Darkness
I close my eyes... 
I close my eyes...

Lies that you're told form your personal hell
Your camouflaged fairy tale 

And just like that...

Our parting ways has been coming
almost as soon as we started out.
There're people who thought that we had been done.
Standing here, I wish they were right.

Two people who look for ways to
one up the hurt the other causes
while claiming weak "I love you"'s,
we had to be insane. 

And just like that...
I'm done, I'm through,
I might love you still,
but I have to get over you

It's funny because it might seem 
like I was the one shutting you out,
but really you're the one who sealed the deal 
Sometime before I said no more

I won't be taken for a fool,
or wrong, advantage of, for granted; 
for my voice to be muted 
so yours only sounds clear.  

And just like that.. 
no more, it's done,
I might love you still,
but what does that mean in the end 

You went from not so crazy to
kinda crazy cute to "oh shit for real"...
To maybe this is seriously risky 
now did you REALLY threaten my mortality.

And just like that...
Stop. No. Desist!
I might love you still 
but this isn't what love should be. 

Love Won't Do (What We Need)

We allowed ourselves to build up walls/when we needed to stop and try to heal. We're no longer playing defense / we see nothing but offense.

Why are we always so shocked / at the head-on collision,/ it happens every time. I let love open doors / for you to come setting everything ablaze.

I try and / who knows why / I still cry / ev'ry time / It's no use / love won't do / what we need / it to do

Stop calling it a breakdown of romance; / breakdowns yes, but of other things. / Things like trust, respect, decency, basic things... / broke down like boundaries never put in place.

I guess if I was shady like you / I'd worry I'd get back like I've been giving/ afraid everyone could be the one / that's serving karma and fate.

It's funny you think I don't see / what you're doing, this routine / on repeat every week, / would you get some new material please / it's just sad honestly.

I try and / who knows why / I still cry / ev'ry time / It's no use / love won't do / what we need / it to do

Stop calling it a breakdown of romance; / breakdowns yes, but of other things. / Deflection, deception, deny and deny; are just more D's you say you aren't playing with.

We'll never heal doing the same thing / ignoring pain just to do it again. / You always apologize without feeling / making a cycle we'll just keep on repeating

I try and / who knows why / I still cry / ev'ry time / It's no use / love won't do / what we need / it to do

Stop calling it a breakdown of romance; / breakdowns yes, but of other things. / The fact you say I wasn't giving my all / when you won't show up to try says everything.

The Sooner

I never wanted this, any of it
I wasn't looking for you,

Love, a relationship, at all. 
But once I fell I was all in
Regardless of warnings from everyone

Even now I foolishly believe
it will all work out like fantasy;
But this isn't fiction, just pure friction.
I'm ignoring the obvious, afraid of the pain
But it's starting to chafe

I need to stop blocking the heartache.
It's obvious it's coming,
alongside your last time. 
I've just got to accept the pain.
The sooner I do the sooner it ends. 

Why would I go into this unless I
wanted at least forever
but it hasn't been that long.
You're leaving before you arrive
if you leave me to believe that these days.

I'm not sure if our arguments now
are rooted in insecurities
or a defense mechanism you have.
When you stop falling in love and it's falling apart
coming down always hurts. 

I need to stop blocking the heartache.
It's obvious it's coming,
alongside your last time.
I've just got to accept the pain.
The sooner I do the sooner it ends.

I should have been willing
to go through with it months ago.
It's the only thing you've put effort into

I need -- ---- I need the heartache
It's obvious it's ------
-------- your last time
I've ---- got --- got --- the pain
--- ------ I do --- ------ it ends

Those Promises

 

You weren't supposed to enter my space
And falling for you, dafuq you say?
I forgot I knew of you once
Where the fates drunk weaving this shit?

Yet you were there crossing lines in the hall falling in love
Opening up with me alarmingly quickly
That was when I made those promises

I'd never guess what all we'd go through
Back when I made those promises to you
...but I'd do it again, there's no alternative

We soon became the talk of the Town
"Most toxic couple" is what they say
If only they knew the half...
It's attention noones seeking

If it were anyone else it only lasts a week
But it was you not wanting to fall this hard , love
That was why I made those promises.

If I knew then, wasn't such a fool
Back when I made those promises to you,
I'd do it all again but not so carelessly

God and my mother know
My struggles with all this
I've failed, made mistakes
Of every type, not giving up
So it's not a broken promise
If I'm still holding myself to it

You saw it coming even that day
Back when I made those promises to you
I'd do it all again, no matter what you say

Anywhere But Home (082026 Revision)

"Please wear my jacket” I ask you in the rain

I have no clue about you apart from here and now

You're a risk, unaware, inspiring abandon that a

Helmet won’t save me from my thoughts

Already working with your pull

Ripping me from all I know

You can take me away so that we can

R r r ride into the dawn

No matter where, when I'm with you

I don’t fear this feeling growing just

R r r ride with my heart

Into the unknown without a care

Tell me where exactly are you from?

Is the open road what you call home?

I’d like a life like that for my own…

Please take me anywhere but home!

Baby I can let go of what I know

Live a full life before it’s gone

Experience it all but not alone

Please just take me anywhere but home

We’re leaving the city

But I'm not concerned with

Failed romances, a dead end job

Gloomy weather, no direction

Even without bad memories

It’s time to go

Who knew an enigma like you could lead the way

Let’s only pack just the necessities and

R r r ride out of this town

And throw restraint and fear to the wind

I don’t even want to know I will just

R r r ride to something new

With you by my side nothing matters

Baby I can let go of what I know

Live a life full before it’s gone

Experience it all but not alone

Please take me anywhere but home

Take me anywhere

Please take me anywhere

Gotta take me anywhere

Take me anywhere but home.

I'm assured I don't need all my maps and reference books

I’ll ride fearlessly towards the future with you

Baby I can let go of what I know

Live a life full before it’s gone

Experience it all but not alone

Please just take me anywhere but home

Take me anywhere

Please take me

 anywhere

Gotta take me anywhere

Take me anywhere but home
