Further Seems Forever

The Moon Is Down
The moon is down,
and heaven is waiting
for us to find her in our sites
with focus that's strong
but my strength keeps slipping.

Now we're all the terminal cases,
but were so determined to thrive.
And those with defeat on their faces,
are those that we must keep alive.
And I admire your strength.
You keep us going on.
You keep us fighting long after the fire.

You've measured our strides,
marked the degree of our fever.
Charted the log.
Made sure the temperature's rising.

To fan the flames,
and brandish our new courage proudly,
as if it were ours from the outset.
As if we were never alone.

The moon is down,
and heaven is waiting,
for callers and entries
as we're calling out:
"This is ours, ours, ours. This one is ours!"

Now we're all the terminal cases,
but we're so determined to thrive.
And those with defeat on their faces,
are those that we must keep alive.
And I admire your strength,
you keep us going on,
you keep us fighting,
long after the fire.

Pictures Of Shorelines
If you insist on pictures of shorelines
then i insist on pages of your lines meant for me,
to be sent to me.

Remember watching the storms from the lifeguard stand.
Remember feeling the tingling in my fingertips
when I touched your lips.

And I recall how you sat on the same side of me,
it always seemed that you'd always be on my side.
You're my best side.

And it's early June, so the sand's still dry,
and you have got the boldest eyes,
and I can't help but think it's right,
that inside you it's me I'll find.
And I'm still waiting.

And it's early June, so the sand's still dry,
and the storm off shore is not far behind.
And I'm still waiting.

And sometimes you don't say a thing for a long while.
And the ships off shore hold stories that we'd make.
And sometimes we are held at bay by these miles.
But less of you is more than I can take.

And the moments that we've shared could last a lifetime.
And the faith I have in us will keep you near.
And several of these miles placed in between us
mean several of these words being sent by mail.
I hope this letter finds you well.

Just Until Sundown
Spent too many hours holding up walls
standing in corners and clenching my jaw
watching you watching the ones that I wanted to be.

Blaming this all on the moment
blaming this all on my views
blaming the mood of the music
blaming it all on you.
All on you and me.

Just because you said what you wanted
doesn't make it right.
Just because the moment was heated
doesn't mean that I wanted to fight.
And even though I saw your anger
even though I saw your face
the words that you cited were chosen
not fate, not spoken in haste.

Well just for the moment, just one more time
just one more second and we'll be just fine
this could be just, just in case it's the last time.
This could be the last time.

Just until sundown, just one more day
I could hold you.
Just until sundown, just one more day
I would hold you without you pushing me away.

All on you and me.

Justice Prevails
You make it so easy to run
well I'm still crawling
I'm still crawling.
Now I'm game for the feeding chain,
and their still scraping
their still crawling.
Taking measures to see myself ,
but I must forfeit all my findings,
it's not easy to take these steps
or to fake these breaths but urge is blinding.
And you can deny this,
but I won't let you,
and you can defy this,
it's not beneath you,
and we can try this,
but were we meant to,
and this will divide us,
and then we'll be through.
be through
I found you with him again.
Found out about everything,
and you can deny this all you want
but you can pretend that you weren't caught.
But this is more than you and me
this is about being deceived.
being deceived
You should have waited until you ended this
then you'd have nothing to confess.
I thought you'd leave me next to nothing
but now your leaving me much less.
leaving me much less
And I
will get through this
until justice prevails.
And I
gave you this
for nothingness
and lies.
