Experience

We've come to the edge of reason,
Now we're just laughing off all the hurt.
Everytime you turn the other cheek,
I get lost inside your world.
You try to hide all that you ever were,
But what's left inside is even worse.
If you don't open up and let me in,
How can I heal, how can I sing another verse?

You've always thought twice,
But don't stop listening to your heart.
You cried out all that was ever wrong,
As I stood on the sidelines, far apart.
I don't want to be removed from anything
You ever do, create or start.
Set me in motion with a song on my lips,
I'll make it allright, I'll make the fire spark.

Look deep down inside and find it,
Look wherever you have to find it.
I'll remain here, at your side
However long it may take.
Look sideways at me and stop seeing scars,
Look above you and see those burning stars.
You belong here, let's never die,
I'll do what I must for your sake.
I've experienced so much,
I remain the key.
Find your lock and I
Will open it surely.

Spread your hands and try to touch the world,
But all you touch is gone and wasted.
Your voice seems stale in your throat,
All those words just a ticket to be blasted.
Stand up true and follow yourself,
Like all they do is follow every order you stated.
I'm not a soldier, only a child in your arms
But in you I trust, You're the chance belated.

Hair like snow just melts away on morning winds,
Wings cocked to take flight, to rise.
I've seen your sword and your determined black gaze,
I'll be your slate to pen this story through those eyes.
Don't stop now for all the future we have seen,
Let this madness overtake and the chaos endlessly reside.
I'll scrape what I can as long as you finally laugh,
And be free from all those lies...

Look deep down inside and find it,
Look wherever you have to find it.
I'll remain here, at your side
However long it may take.
Look sideways at me and stop seeing scars,
Look above you and see those burning stars.
You belong here, let's never die,
I'll do what I must for your sake.
I've experienced so much,
I remain the key.
Find your lock and I
Will open it surely.

If there's a chance to live your life like a story,
Then write it how you want to see it flow.
There's always the crucial beginnings, the calling
And the middle where the adventures go.
But the conclusion of the tale is yet to be made,
The hands hold a pen that only drips ink.
Pretty pictures tell a fantasy you live, you forbade
Now there's more to be said and to think.

If there's a chance to live your life like a play,
Then the whole world is your stage my dear.
Makeup and directions can only send you on your way,
The lines a soliloquy which you speak yet fear.
You are dressed in the formality of a dysfunctional tradition,
Yet the lights only command stage fright.
Lick your lips and then bow to the audience's transition,
They watch you dramatise your life tonight.

If there's a chance to live your life like a Princess,
With someone on hand to your every whim, then do.
There is no tiara to set on perfect curls, no less
Than a cardboard cut out which reflects you.
Plain and simple, yet royalty is what is made of bravery,
And often the noble appear stupid as dirt.
But then you're going out in style, let you be.
A smile on rose lips to cover the hurt.

If there's a chance to live your life like a God,
You could happily entwine your fingers into the life's stream.
You could mould the future as you from life abscond,
But it wouldn't be any more real, a passing day dream.
You've chased down every temporary high or low,
But on that silver limned cloud you sit and wonder
Is there more to this life, where now do you go?
If there's something missing, divinity won't return it any longer.

If there's a chance to live your life, like a song,
Then how will you write down those effervescent notes.
A haphazard scramble of heart breaking love all along,
Those melodies so sweet, candour of you it denotes.
Don't sit and wait for a song to record your life.
It'll never be the same song twice.
Make your own little tune to dance along the strife,
Take those songs and make them all your life.

If,
There's a chance to live your life like your own,
How many people would apply for the joy it has been?
Would they understand your shadows or the overgrown
Thorns of horrid pain left unchecked. Not all as it seems.
But the life is there, not story or song or dance,
Just this time spent in what you joyfully enlist.
If there's a story then why don't you take a chance,
Because there's more to life than just this.

Stay here tonight,
Come watch as the sky turns darker.
I'll stay by your side,
If you can make the situation any clearer.
Hold me close,
I've been fearing this breaking.
I've said the most,
Now all that's left is the dreaming.

Stay with me tonight,
I'll make the shadows go away.
If you hold on tight,
Then we'll both have our reasons to stay.
Every single smile,
Is worth a broken sky.
I wish we'd stay a while,
But we have to go and find a why.

Stay, we'll get through this,
All of those nights and days we've shared
Fatal love torn of mist,
I'll turn about and you'll not be there.
Hold my hand,
I never want this time to be gone.
Colder in the night,
Dreams have left me empty, and alone.
