Old Glasses

Headache, my glasses are old

Older than what I was when love left me and hit the road

Anxious, I am so anxious

To be happy in this world full of glittering gold

A little dust of a broken rifle to touch my heart

An empty field to run and scream and breakdown in

A foreign face unknown to anybody anywhere

A burning pyre for the dead affection I couldn't win

Are all

I need.

So please tell me to let my feelings go, 

It feels wrong to do without permission

And I will sort out all the knives

Just please tell me I can do it on my own

So please tell me to let my feelings go.

Candid, all the moments could have been

But I found comfort in pre-written scripts

Apprentice, I am of despair

I follow along with it on its mellow and tainted trips

A spark of a fire that can teach me how to dance

A line of dry wood to fabricate truths and beds

A helicopter to fly me inside a volcano

A necklace of rope made of my nine other heads

Are all

I want.

So please tell me to let my feelings go,

It feels wrong to do without permission

And I will sort out all the knives

Just please tell me I can do it on my own

So please tell me to let my feelings go.

I can't see anymore, these glasses are old

All the faces and houses and cupboards are scratched

Honey, lip balm, lip gloss in my pocket

Guns with silencers have been enclosed and latched

And I won't see anymore, these glasses are old

They're old, they're old, they're old.

A little dust of a broken rifle to touch my heart

An empty field to run and scream and breakdown in

A foreign face unknown to anybody anywhere

A burning pyre for the dead affection I couldn't win

Are all

I need.

If you think this one is written like a song, you're right. It is a song. Sometimes I write poems while singing them in my head, and then they turn into complete songs. I don't know if these songs will ever meet their tunes? It kinda makes me sad that some songs may never be heard by you guys. But I hope one day someone will sing the words I write. There's no harm in hoping :)

Also if any of you guys would like to sing them, go ahead haha, make your own tunes for them ^^
