sit still, open up your ears and hear what's around you don't speak, just listen to where you are sit still, open up your lungs and breathe what's around you don't look, and find what is hidden here sit still, open up your mind and be what's around you vision is not in the eyes you'll see
2.
cautious footsteps pull you closer sneaking, weaving into every step tangled hands and backward glances it's only me, let's have some fun cause I think about you all the time but I can't seem to crack your mind thoughts and questions fill your eyes I'll let them fester, let silence rise every move overanalyzed watch yourself become a diguise mind games tear and tease you closer cave and then it's over I know you and that's no better you can try to say the words to escape this world you've created cause after all it's just a game
3.
take me for a ride and don't say a word I want you to be completely silent I know that may be so hard for you, but you make me mad cause you don't listen to what I say and when I ask you a question you avoid it, yes you do

when I see you looking ooo it takes me the stars a tangle of emotions with a spark that's only ours and I know it's a commitment but we aren't in any race let's build our rocket slow plan out escape to outer space where planets swirl and time abounds we'll orbit the unknown through comet clusters, cosmic rays, intergalactic zones think of all the moments waiting for us up there so are we going or what?

LCC #19 03:37
oh no your words are not what I thought they'd be but I usually don't get what I want so why would this be an exception you don't want me and I feel dumb but it won't be the last time I feel this way

LCC #20 03:35
you think you've won you think you've got it made it's so clear you think you're in control think you're the shit think you're the king of kings you should know all crowns can melt and burn
9.
I see you coming and ugh oh my god can't say I like, the way you sound you think everything round here's a real shame I think it's something where you might be to blame but you're weird and not the kind that makes me think, well, he's just shy so I'll stay put, locate the exits stare politely and listen to blah, blah, blah, blah that's what I hear we know it's not happening, so run, run, run, run, run your mouth on, shout at the sun we know it's not going down here cause that dog won't hunt
