Clandestine Candles

I'm on the edge I've watched your puppet show for far to long Strings playing I've been walked to the ledge I know it seems wrong To hate upon the haters  But I sing the same song fighting the same gladiators I feel mad So I must be bad Mabye I'm just sad Mabye I'm tired of all the nonsense I've had You aren't entitled to me I'm not gonna satisfy your greed So try to play me and see Because I feel set free. Is it wrong to feel alive After years of trying to hide? Is it wrong to find out I have a dark side After decades of pretty white lies? Is it bad to have an opinion? I've kept my thoughts shunned. Is it wrong not to be someones minion? I've been down gunned. I'm on the edge I've watched your puppet show for far to long Strings playing I've been walked to the ledge I know it seems wrong To hate upon the haters  But I sing the same song fighting the same gladiators

  Don't Talk to me that way You know All the best ways to make me feel afraid. I won't  Tolerate it anymore Let you Push me off my chair to the golden floor. I am Past surviving now Turns out Being scared Has made me immune to all your sounds You have Made me into this Dark Sounding Eulogy of truthful bliss. So now I am the eye of the storm Calm but raging reckless reform I let you Underestimate me once But never again.

  Run away to the hills with me Come we could be free The forests beckon  I must listen... We've always felt odd where we are Time to wander 'neath the stars Let them fight eternally Over pointless petty things But for you and me Moss beneath our feet so bare Moonlight glistens in our free hair We'll soon outrun the drunken torchlight And into daylight. Cast your worries into the waves You and I no longer slaves Promises linger like rosedust Leave behind their worrisome fuss We'll rest in bowers of pines Frolic in bliss that has never been mine.

 My world is blank A canvas I try to fill But when I look at my past life The present looks black and white. I tell myself not to look back But here I am writing poems in bed Of all the things I now lack We've tried to move on, you've got new friends. But I'm two thousand miles away Leafing through faded scrapbook pages Living in the past Haunting you with "Please stays!" But you just melt away. Pictures of your friends fill my phone But I have none of my own I'm a wraith, trying to be with you Desperately falling subject to my own doom. My heart is ripping it's strings, I miss you I get lost in the harmony, never the truth. I write things I can't ever say But I need to get out in such an impulsive way.

 If anyone has not heard, Taylor Swift is rerecording her album Fearless, which includes timeless favorites such as Love Story and 15. This one I wrote inspired by her Love Story, actually. My breath is on the windowpane Fingerprints over the misty shade I smooth the ruffles of my skirt As I see your carriage come to pick me up. Do you remember that one night? We were songwriting  after we had been fighting Just a typical weekly sight. Cupids arrows can sometimes hurt But silver is its worth When I hear your boots on the walkway Jump into your arms and whisper "Stay." Daisy chains and diamond rings These are a few of our favorite things Midnight kisses under mistletoe And we both light up with a silver glow. I turn away from my embroidery To see you on your knee. I catch my breath my heart stops its beat Your eyes catch mine you whisper "Marry me?"

As I wander beneath the starry sky I keep wondering why. Why I'm left here all alone A lone wolf with no home. You see my streangth is an illusion, I can see into the future. I can't seem to find a solution That will make make my outcome sure. And so I'll howl to the moon, It sends shivers up your spine, But you'll remember soon That a loved ones right there making sure you're fine. Life's bitter and I know I'm strong, But a lone wolf can only survive without her pack for so long. Moonlight dances across the stream, Liquid silver so it seems. But the woods are scary here at night, They speak of freedom but never the fight. You say that looks nice From your fireside bed But life's a game of dice She'll have to go you said. And so I'll howl to the moon, It sends shivers up your spine, But you'll remember soon That a loved ones right there making sure you're fine. Life's bitter and I know I'm strong, But a lone wolf can only survive
