What I once shouted from the rooftops became a faint whisper
Ripped into pieces and trampled down so far I became scared to love
Led to believe my version of love has no place in this world
In such a hateful world you made me scared to love

You made me scared of my own light
You made me scared to create
You made me scared to dream too high
Now I don’t see you anymore
But you’ll be seeing me

Dependance becomes inter-dependance and synchronocity
You attract what you put out and I feel the beauty coming back
Flying where you can’t touch me
People stop me on the street

Learning from past mistakes, respecting the balance
Months sat in purgatory now realising my angels needed this time to create the magical path to come
And now I’m dancing down the new road and learning to glow
Trusting this time nothing will stop the flow

Smacked with a label like my thoughts and experiences are worth nothing
Am I something to be feared when I’ve given so much love?
Demonising the very being that burnt himself into the ground for you and your cause
Pushing my needs aside so I can give with all my soul

Should I fall on my sword just so you can tread the water, terrified to delve below?
Throw my gift to the trash so you can spit your bile and thumb down those who reflect your insecurities and fears
Dim their glimmering becon so your 20 watts can be seen

Driven to destruction by having my outlet taken away
I have the same right as you to express my thoughts, but you fear and crush what you can’t comprehend

Indoctrinated to believe my glow is poison
Something to be locked away
Must I lie in darkness so you can steal others light

You couldn’t even comprehend the magic I’ve performed and the souls I’ve lifted
Even less the pieces of my soul I’ve had to give, and the rest I’ll hand out with a smile
So I slap on my smile when I see you and work unseen
I’m a being of light and I won’t be tamed

So I continue forward and I know my people will come, just as you found yours
This time I find my centre and maintain the balance, lessons learned and advice heard
I know the pitfalls of my soul and I work on mine as you work on yours
I wish you love but don’t expect the same in return.

Retreat to come back swinging
When the tide turns stop fighting and grab a board

You’re different from the rest
You always knew you were different and you are
You’ll pass the test
You’ll see the tests you’ve already passed and those who failed
Clear the mist

You know what you know no matter how much it feels like they can no one can take that away
If it doesn’t feel right to you it’s not
There’s nothing wrong with who you are or what you like

You’ve laughed harder you’ve cried harder
So have the people waiting for you round the corner
Round the riverbend, and the ones still swimming next to you
They’re just behind the mist

You’re faster, sharper, deeper, stronger
Retreat to grow
Retreat to find the next level
You’ve written the book so start a new one

The harder you fight it the longer it will take.
t’s all waiting for you and this time you’ll sustain the reign
Enjoy the journey what else is there to do

Reconnect the fibres with the new world you’ve seen
It’s there, it exists
You’re different

I’ve felt ecstasy as high as the lowest despair
Seen heaven seen hell
Shaken about like God is swinging a hurricane with his bare hands

Where’s the middle where’s the constant?
Am I destined to fall as fast as I rise?
Why was this time such a surprise?

Is it the universe picking me up so it can smack me back down?
I know how the world loves to watch a rise and fall and mine are next level
I hope you’re entertained

What is it you want?
What lesson am I not learning?
They say insanity is doing the same thing again and again expecting different results
Each time I get higher and the lows get less
Am I supposed to learn to just not give a ****?
Give into the mania and psychosis?
Find a wave I can ride and ride it to hell then ride it back to heaven?
I’ve done both

Is the third time a charm?
Or is this just some cruel game then we die?
I’ve seen the signs and followed them off the edge
Ran and ran until there’s nothing left
Smack back to square one so many times I’ve lost count

I respect the universe but how many different ways can you be pulled without snapping? I’m only human
I’ve been the beauty and the beast
I’ve seen how the universe treats both
But still every time I’m slammed back

Seeing the world and through people’s **** and the rare beauty where others don’t is as lonely as it can be euphoric
I’ve been kissed by angels who can’t handle their own strength
I’ve felt them seen them and raised them using lessons I’ve learn through my own pain I’ve felt the world fall apart in my hands and visioned the next level
I think I’ve maybe even seen the devil
With his tricks and offers of glory
Was this all just a psychosis trick or part of my story?

You know I can focus so clear I’m dipping no slipping saving lives taking the prize
Seeing everything and no one can touch me
Show me the look in the eyes of people like me
Show me belonging for the first time
So why then smack me back down?
Is there something more or am I just a ****?
A plaything you build up to just **** over?
Promise everything then throw me off the side Tiberius falls

If it’s all about faith then calm my mind
Dull the fear of what I might find
Help me handle myself so I can help others
Help me nurture that side and save my brothers
Why am I an anomaly when other people preach and god and angels?
I’ve seen them but now I’m just crazy.

Seeing it all, a blessing as deep as the curse
You say I’m deluded but I’m so rarely wrong
Seeing and feeling all you choose to ignore

The world becomes so predictable until I accept my gifts, then suddenly the whole word shifts
I start running and leaping on all fours
Until I can’t see the borders anymore

The curse becomes a blessing and Kin flocks
Transcending through dimensions I’m finally unblocked

They see what I see with with words unspoken
Bonds made through the eyes that can’t be broken

Together we whirl and spin and dance and rise
A troupe of misfits singing in harmony in a wordless chant, peeling back the layers of the universal guise

Who’d hold me when I’m exhausted from protecting those unable to keep hold of the crown on their heads?
You took me and nursed me with words unsaid

Platonic and romance all become one
Whether we find it together or not I’m just happy it’s done
Brothers and sisters in arms seeking the higher levels
No judgement just open souls
We share the burdens of our angels and our devils

They could never see all we see, our thoughts pour torrential
You say to forgive and let live that’s just their highest potential

The unspoken bond
Your good is my good your bad is my bad
We all fly together through the flames and the flickers
Nothing you could say to shock or scare me away
Good and bad fade in the end
In it together when the crows come calling, together we’ll pay

When you’re in pain I feel it cut the air like a banshee’s cry
You **** up or worse I’m there, ride or die

We don’t ask questions and we don’t judge
We heal eachothers lackings with the electricity of our touch

Nothing you say could make my skin crawl
Through the darkest depths of our open minds together we’ll trawl
Because I know the struggle myself and we’re deeper than the rest
As cursed as we are blessed

Your bad is just as beautiful as your good
It shines with the glint of reality that pulses deep through your blood
Those who judge miss the enchantment of your yang
Hidden just beneath societal perception of what it means to be yin

The all seeing eye sees the beauty in all
We’re flawed but free

The old souls take the young and help them evolve
Taking all they’ve known before to be true and soothing their mortal fears until they dissolve
Letting them flex and gloat and play
All love and understanding with a deep knowing smile that it will pass one day

Endless nights spent crying for those who can’t yet rise above
Falling angels too blinded by to see they can still fly, void of love
The all seeing eye feels and sees them all

You say it’s not our burden but how can I stay quiet when they make people feel so small
Even with your infinitely wider experience, that’s travelled through the ages
I can’t help but feel it to my core when they rattle the cages

They prey and they strike I don’t even think they know
Poisonous Venom spat all for the facade of the show
Deflecting their insecurities for the approval of their closed-minded fellow

As time passes they grow
To see them stand tall is a beauty deeper than any I thought I could ever know
Resilience and knowing replaces innocence as they see them for what they are
Leaving them grasping at anything as they jump from falling star to falling star

I dreamt about you the other night
I dreamt that we were travelling through your beautiful country
Living one of my dreams with my biggest dream
You were my dream, you’ll always be my dream, maybe you were only a dream

I’m still waiting to meet someone like you
Someone so perfect for me, someone who is me
I still daydream about you most days

I’m finally starting to unblock again
My lights starting to glow
I hope you found yours that I saw in you
A blinding light blinded by the fear of its own power
So pure it’s hard to believe it was real
You showed me it in your eyes long after I was gone

If I ever hear you’ve met someone else I’ll be beaming with happiness for you
All I ask is to see you one more time
For now the best I can hope for is someone like you
Someone like me
I have to believe it’s coming because nothing else matters

It’s lonely here on the outside
Something I know you understood so well
I dream that you’ve found your place and your people
And I dream that I’ll find mine

I’ve met so many other people with that look in their eyes. But no one ignites a fire in mine like you do. Like you did.

People say they have a connection. But they don’t know ****. Have you ever wanted to rip someone’s skin off so you could climb inside? Just so you could feel closer to them? Like it was the only thing left to do.

It was short lived but I can still feel you. I’ve seen the world but the feeling with you is the thing that pushed me to do more. I saw myself in you. Like a mirror to my past.
You made me see the beauty in myself I’d never seen before. People said it was there but you made me the man I am. You made me become a man. Healing my own pain by healing yours.

You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I helped you see that. You helped me see me. Undoing your reluctance was like undoing my own.

Translating songs for you lying in your bed and watching you hear them for the first time was like watching myself hear them for the first time. Really.

I don’t see people anymore I see souls. Good and bad. It’s like seeing myself through you took the veil off the world and made everything so clear.
I was always different, I saw the world. You see the world. It did to you what it did to me. I healed in you what you healed in me.

People say they’d do anything for someone they love but they wouldn’t. Ego and pride and fear keep people apart. You took all mine and made me a man not afraid to stand up or believe in himself and other people.

The only thing worth fighting for in life is your definition of beauty. When you see what that is everything else just pales.

One day I know you’ll change the world
Because you changed me
You made me understand love
All sacrifice expecting nothing real love for another person

I hope you fly
I hope you realise your potential in this life
The time I was blessed to spend with you taught me more than you’ll ever know

But I’m not the world
I thought you were my world but the amount you’re fighting back maybe I was wrong

Even now when I think of your face and the way you look at me I want to cry
Maybe that’s a cliche but they exist for a reason and not many people are lucky enough to experience anything like this

I’m too much for you and I see this now
As much as I hope for you I hope I meet somebody who’s enough for me
Because I’m human and we all need love and I see now some people have to work harder to find it

You really are the most beautiful person I’ve ever met
So raw but innocent and there’s just no words

I wish you’d just look into my eyes one more time
Just to know you’re next to me makes me feel everything’s alright
Nothing more nothing less, because that’s my alright

I’ve talked to you so much about how I want to see you fly
I hope you do fly but right now I can’t help feeling a little bit bitter
I gave you more than I ever thought I could give anybody and what have you given me back?
No I didn’t expect anything but that was because I didn’t feel I had to

Part of me thinks **** you but that’s too cliche
A scorned lover
But this was SO MUCH more than a cliche
It was two souls meeting beyond all chance and time and fate and borders and language and just everything
Because we were destined to meet, there’s nothing else to it

But now I’m questioning why
Maybe it wasn’t for the reasons I thought and I know you thought
You’re still lost and that KILLS me
And I know I could make it all go away in no time at all
But you keep fighting us
So I need to accept that there’s a reason
Maybe we’re destined to be together but maybe we’re not
I feel like you’re destined to change the world but maybe you’re not
This is holding us both back and I see what you were saying now

It’s so hard to let you go my beautiful man
You made me the man I am today
But maybe you’re not my man
And as much as that kills me I need to accept it
There’s no other way to put it
I could try writing for years to find the right words to make it feel better but the ending is the same
Right now you don’t want me. And who am I to judge anybody

Beautiful, beautiful man. You can’t begin to imagine what you have to give right now.
I know it’s so hard for you because I’ve been there.

Knowing what you’re going through makes me want to cry until there’s nothing left of me.

I wish I could die so you could live.
I wish I could cut off my wings so you could fly.

People say they’ve never met someone like me but they’ve never met you.
The world has never met you because you can’t find your way out.

But I’ve met you. I’ve felt you. I’ve kissed you. My soul has been awoken by you and you have no idea. And who am I even dream of keeping all of you for myself when you have so much to give.

Much more than you could EVER BEGIN to imagine. Much more than I could EVER BEGIN to imagine.

But I have an idea, because I’ve seen you, I’ve been you, but you’re so much more than me.

I’ve travelled the world and I KNOW
there’s no one like you, you can change the world, you are my world.

So give me your pain. Let me take your burden. Let me sink so you can swim. Let me crumble to pieces. Give me your darkness so the world can be blinded by your light.

Please fly beautiful, beautiful man.

Every tear you cry makes you stronger. The most incredible man the world might be lucky enough to know.

Fight my beautiful man. You can beat this. But you can’t do it alone.

So give me your pain. Give me ALL your pain. I’d give everything just to see the look of peace in your tortured eyes.

So give me your pain. Let me take it all. Let me fall so you can learn to fly. Learn to soar. Change the world.
