Yellow Birds and Coal Mines

Gather around me, I need some time to recollect these thoughts of mine, you're so kind to stand behind me, help me face these fears I've build over the years, it's so clear. You're always here, I wouldn't leave you here like this, and I'm desperate, oh so desperate, to feel alive, you need someoneto help you, please let me guide you through this your so kind. To offer assistance in my interest, well I could've made it through tonight, its alright, cause we saw this coming through, and I'm still here. Keep me here I believe, finding faith you must agree upon a state of action, keep me posted, still in action, I'll keep you here cause I believe. Finding faith is what I need to take the chances I must take, before my heart begins to break. I know you have it hard sometimes, don't let the bad things rule your life. Sit back and watch your life take flight, you're just so young, you have the time, the time. Just leave it alone. Before my heart begins to break. Thanks for being here my friend. Here with me, 'til the very end of time, we're gonna do this one together. Keep me here I believe, finding faith you must agree, upon a state of action, keep me posted, still in action.

I can't breathe.

Because of you, in gardens of blossoming flowers I ache from theperfumes of spring. I have forgotten your face, I no longer remember your hands;how did your lips feel on mine? Because of you, I love the white statues drowsing in the parks, the white statues that have neither voice nor sight. I have forgotten your voice, your happy voice; I have forgotten your eyes. Like a flower to its perfume, I am bound to my vague memory of you. I live with pain that is like a wound; if you touch me, you willdo me irreparable harm. Your caresses enfold me, like climbing vines on melancholy walls. I have forgotten your love, yet I seem to glimpse you in every window. Because of you, the heady perfumes of summer pain me; because of you, I again seek out the signs that precipitate desires: shootingstars, falling objects.
