TWISTED

Twisted is my love for you
That which breaks my heart in two
One half that wants the best for us
And one that seems to lack the trust.
One half that learns and makes mistakes
Until that other half awakes
Which doesn't want to compromise
Or ever feel cut down to size
It comes out at the worst of times
And it commits unspeakable crimes
Against the better half of my heart
So I must ask it to part
For I cannot go on like this
These halves can't peacefully coexist.
I want to keep this love of mine
And so my heart must recombine
And go back to it's former self
To save at least, my mental health,
And remind me I have love to give
If you have patience and can forgive.

THE MACHINE

In a world of black and white
I see in technicolor
Punish me for what I see
For I am like no other.
You can put me in a mould
And try to change my shape
Use fear to keep me in my place
So I can not escape,
But I would give my life to show
The world the truth I see
I would rather die than stay
A part of this machine.

PRISONER

I can't tell
Is this hell
Or purgatory?
These games of the mind
Trapped in fragments of time
This mystery.
What cosmic law have I broken?
Where is the truth in these lies?
Which taboo word have I spoken,
That I must live in the heart of these sighs?

A FINALE

I was dizzy
Drunk on a love that
Was nothing but insanity.

You were everything I'm not
And somehow that translated
As destiny.

It's bittersweet
The way you walked away from me
Like I should have done
To you.

I should be hurting
But for the first time
In a long time
I am not

THE ROBOT

I fell in love with a robot
A shiny piece of steel
When he smiled in my direction
I almost thought that he could feel.
He knew just what to say
As if he could read my mind
And I saw my reflection 
In the way that metal shined.
When I pulled him closer
I thought I heard a beat
A heart within this robot?
Could he really be so sweet?
But when I opened up his chest
To see what I would find
There was nothing where a heart should be
The heart I heard was mine.
