Uncover Me

In fear of falling, I take a step back
But the edge takes one more step forward
I've made some mistakes, yes
But believing that it would all be easy was the biggest so far
All I can say to you now has already been said before
So just take my heart and wrap it up in your stunning surrender
I am not everything I hoped I would be
But I am beginning to love these unclean hands
Because self-loathing only gets you so far
Don't you see, I am not everything that I pretend to be
You can call me a friend if that's what you need
but just know, I am not all that I pretend to be
The green vines of envy are slowly taking me over
I wish you would follow me
I wish that I could take you with me in this lifelong journey towards the end of time
But the vines grab hold of my ankles
I have no sympathy for those who make the same mistakes as I have
But there is no solace in stealing hypocrisy
Instead I find my peace in stealing insecurity
So unveil to me your true intent
and I will show you who I really am
Uncover me
and I'll wait up for you
Uncover me
and I will forever protect your innocence

"Fall on me if you ever forget how beautiful you are"

I Don't Want to...

I don't want to give you my words
You might twist them around into saying the things that I really meant.
I don't want to give you my touch
You might turn it around into beautiful feelings of sentiment.
I don't want to give you my heart
You might dirty it with glue in trying to piece it back together.
I don't want to give you my lips
You might touch them with yours and end up staying forever.
I don't want to give you my eyes
You might see the person I am behind the mask.
I don't want to give you my mind
You might learn things of me without ever having to ask.
I don't want to give you anything
because I only want to give you everything.
And everything I don't want to give you
is everything that you already have.
