Who am I in your eyes
But a creature of the underworld
A part of the darkness
That is not part of you
It is your frozen heart
That has teft me cold as ice
It is your flame of life
That has scorched me into vapor

Who am I in your eyes
But a mist that can't be seen
Can't even cloud your vision
I'm so invisible
You are the fire burning down
My lifetime from when I met you
You are the flood washing away
Everything except my memories of you

Who am I in your eyes
But a flicker of wasted time
Present for a moment
Then completely forgotten

But I - I do not even know
The color, the depth
Of your eyes, your soul
You're too afraid to look at me

In Case of Fire

Afraid to touch me
Because of the fire it might
Stir in you
That you think is so wrong
For you, betrothed to another
But it is worthless
In this imaturity
Of you and yours

Afraid to touch me
Because then you'd know
As if a hand on my waist
Would prove I'm real
Just as real as you
And that my feelings
Are just as true as yours
Guilt would consume you

Afraid to touch me
Because your shame would kill you
Of throwing this in my face
As you taunt me
But keep your distance
Just to be safe - I'm dangerous
Keep away
In case of fire

In the Absence of You

My hands on your tiny hips
In the darkness of balloon moonlight
And I know this sensual tease
Is as close as I'll ever get
Thank goodness
I never told you
The depth of me
Thank goodness
I chose to wait
Hiding until I knew
And now I know that you and I
Are not even worth thinking about
So now my thoughts are empty
In the absence of you

What Nobody Needs

Make up your mind and
Tell me the truth
Stop leading me on an
Breaking my heart
Why do I keep falling harder?
Why do I never learn?
Why do I need this so much?
Why is my life not enought?
Who are you
If you don't know then
Nobody knows and
I am nobody who
Needs to know

Everything's Changed

It should have been amazing
It should have been one of
The best times of my life
It should have been so much more than you
She's here, 2 hours in I find out.
The boyfriend calls and everything's changed
She didn't tell meI kinda think this is kinda important to know
Heartbroken before it even begins
And still so even after it ends
Fantasy running through my head
Of a movie I never saw or will see
Because the boyfriend calls and everything's changed
She didn't tell me
It's like a blowoff to my face
An insult no one tried to hide
And now I write this
Self-indulgent piece of shit
Because it doesn't matter
To anyone
Not even her
The boyfriend calls and everything's changed
She didn't tell me
