I watch the ballerinas in the dark
every spoken movement counter-played
we can all find ourselves free again
inside and out mirrors study the emotional line
to run across imagination to re-process every critical point
we won’t ever stop running through daydreams
if we stop to questions why
if we stop to outline the detail on their back
will we ever understand which way we tick?
when you prescribe the distance I know the battleground too well
wake up another day to break this imagination across the silver screen
if you were next to me
If I couldn’t take a breath
I wouldn’t doubt redefinition
a vital clue going through your head
each slip, each belief to run through the sky
if I could speak
if I could speak to break the colors of silence
if I could speak like cathedral bells
if I could speak like the ghosts inside my head
to walk against the falling rain
if love didn’t fall apart inside my head
I see the shadows drop behind the heartache
reemphasize the social clues I am running so far behind
to cross out my window another day
tonight the church bells ring a different tune
to watch the cathedral walls one more day
to watch the smoke drop the critical line
to kneel before kingdom come every eye closed behind secrets reaching out for me
whisper past separation
tonight the church bells ring a different sound but only with you

“Stare Through Medical Lies”
stare through medical lies
days lost
when they use our existence
remember when they broke down the bridges in San Francisco
take back the words that define the solider’s last command
I’m the one hurting to imagine it fall apart before your eyes
save every color fallen from your eyes
words burning through my head
pushing in all directions they shock every substantial lie burning across your skin
years leaving this town
years to prove my faith
shape every detail before we say farewell
before when they were so much better
when children watch ghosts locked away behind words on film
walk through the staircase and lie across the pages of every book in detail
lights burn away every chemical misunderstood
imagination locked behind transparent skies
when sickness falls to the ground
hide away in your own security
places too numb to feel
conversations buried away
pick away at this disguise
pick through the amnesia
colors driven to the shoreline
we watch all the ships sail towards this lighthouse
a million letters to my best friend
I can’t wake you now
when we can’t feel tomorrow
“I hear tomorrow in your eyes”
I hear tomorrow in your eyes
past this point of view
to rule the existence
We watch children march across these wires
lost in the day behind this window
sustain this look past many years
we start to connect the skies
hold on to me
hold on to me
I watch the voices cross the line
don’t abandon this love
hold this string against your heart
pin every emotion towards the sky
we hold onto every day
don’t lose these years
will time break through the line across photographic skies
I watch the colors in the distance
all the shapes running against my mind
I take the blame for your mistakes
to shelter the fuel against the window
to break a million pieces of glass through my heart…
to break a million stars to remember how…
I see the sun shine behind tomorrow
I start to remember the lost days between hospital wards
turn the page through time and lift regret away
when can we run skyscrapers towards the sun?
run through tomorrow
don’t let go
don’t let go
don’t abandon this love
“code them with stars”
weave the stars like every lost parallax
turn my secrets into the fight of my life
I hear you calling
every lost feeling of regret
I hear you catch up to this broken security
every face numbered by time
call out everyday of creation
I see you set them apart
words calling me from the distance
as we step away from this violence
turn every page to withstand the beauty in their eyes
is this the end in your hands?
spin through these photographs
hurry up to watch the distance
people ride across the sky through hospital wards
up & down we can choose our way out
with every glance & every footstep tomorrow comes alive
lost again in the dark
wake up to chain myself against the mirror
it’s not black & white
when they call out from this point of instability
It’s not black & white
when they call to withstand every insecurity
break the world into my heart
take the test to prove a fault for mankind
whisper through the dark
shattering the glass with the weight of a hundred men
run through the boulevards with a million red balloons
break the colors through your hands to break this puzzle apart
a second glance a second chance
code a million stars past every vision
code a million stars to hide the screams in the basement
code a million stars to build this peculiar determination
if we can withstand the days lost inside your head
I see the traces burn through the wind
every color preventing me from standing still
every voice burning from your hands
every sound spliced through your integrity
conversations overused locked inside my head
mark it all against the walls trespassed half-ingested
Did I lose it all to find you coded with stars?
Closing Cell Video “Breaking Through the Neon Sky”
“to win this battle & conquer it all”
i see the faces through the window trying to get past broken memories
i feel time slipping & wasting up inside
call another stranger to dream it all away
words are broken against the wall
too tired to let this feeling go
signs are paved like magnetism
shift the desire into a new meaning today
colors cycle through time
i hear the voices call me from the ground
count the numbers like timezones to a million dimensions
step through this loss like an epidemic
shake my skin to feel alive before second glance
I hear it all coming alive like photosynthesis
a shock hits hard against their faces
can’t wake from this daydream
can’t force myself to change obliteration
i see a million colors bursting lost days with freedom
we climb on top of this hill with hope rising past every achievable point
i see you lock your future so bright to claim it all
don’t want to finish in second place
don’t want to let them put me away
to win this battle & conquer it all
i see the colors so abstract from a million points of view
coming alive in so many different ways
“enumerate cathedral walls”
i’m at the stoplight trying to remember it all…
before we crash against tomorrow…
Fuel up my insides with disbelief
I hear all the photographs talking about the lost collapse
a million sounds lodging through my brain
fall through the stairs to skin my eyes of sin
One more pinprick to control obscurity like design
shuffling past all the days written in your head
try to imagine a future without recourse
I see the aspiration written across the depth of instability
To conquer a million mountains for you
to withstand the longevity sparkle through your eyes
watch us roll down the hill to burn instinct beyond infinity
walk through time to wash away every ounce of pain
step across monuments with a million lost gifts inside
drive to stand still
enumerate cathedral walls
we watch them describe a piece of faith to amplify every ounce of self control
