Helium Balloons

We wash our filthy hands
Under waves of pain subsiding
A river rough with gold
Is never worth more finding
A river rift between us
Won't ever be dividing

It should be true
We never fall in love
Instead we rise above
It should be true
We're all helium balloons
If no one grabs us ahold
We'll continue to rise and explode

I put down my rotten crutch
Just to see who's left beside me
Crawling with broken ankles
As a result of my plighting
Crawling with a full set of wings
But soon I will be flying

You won't find miracles in mirrors
Bitten lips from facing fears
Twisted myth gave birth to dreams
It should be true by now it seems

Poison

Let me lie to you while
I try to break my silence
Held on the inside
I know that this is not right
My angst, my anger
Please know I'm listening
Even when I'm screaming
Even when I'm on the floor
Seizing up my bleeding heart

Malignant poison runs through my veins
I still remember the look on your face

You, can't beat myself down
You, can't beat my soul down
You, can't take my breath away

Been here for a while
And my decisions left me standing
Alone at the pier
I'd plead my case but you would not hear
My angst, my anger
Please know I'm trying
Even when I'm freezing
Even when I'm at the door
About to turn away
