Montague

Leave me for who I pretend to be
Want me for who I aim to be
Love me for who I am


Needing Neverland

In this desert where rain never falls
I want to give the soil all it thursts
Thrust my hurt from these eyes
Water the plants with my deep hidden cries

It's all just a battle, make it to the top
The prize is light at the end of the tunnel
It's the journey that we struggle
The journey that brings us to our knees

Anger hot as flame, this pain bottles up inside
Don't show you're vulnerable
Don't show your insides
It's all just flesh deep
I cling to these lies

I want to close my eyes and fly away
Sink into my Neverland
Wrap myself in a blanket of dreams
Sail away through the sea of stars
Sink into my Neverland

Petty, cries the scholar
Lame, huffs the boy with his board
Truth is all I ask for
Yearn for black and white
Yet here I drown in grey

Sit upon the porcelain
Curtain between the rest of the world and I
Drops of heat shower me in warmth
Don't move, don't breathe, just be

My scale is tipping, slipping, breaking, cord undone
As the contents spill upon the floor
There's nothing left to catch me
I've been here before

I want to close my eyes and fly away
Sink into my Neverland
Wrap myself in a blanket of dreams
Sail away through the sea of stars
Sink into my Neverland

It's a simple plea, does He hear?
It's all just a battle, make it to the top
The prize is light at the end of the tunnel
This journey won't bring me to my knees


Be my rain
Wash from me the strain
Lift my head above the water
Stave from me this pain
