Our Burning City

The cities burning
and blackening our skies
engulfing our lives
and no one sees
no one asks, why?
why oh why
do we not care if the world dies
do we not hear her pain
do we ignore her cries at night
turn our cheek to keep her problems out of sight?
Blind.
that's what we've become
smelling the smoke and then we run
we're done
we're killing her
and us at the same time.
we're careless
blind.

The Kiss That Never Was

Slowly reaching midpoint, you grabbed my hand
you're warm.
your smell is comforting and voice inciting
your love is soft and tasteful, my ears are burning and my body's slowed down now.
Your holding me and i'm safe, I've never felt more comfortable then i am in your arms.
I could be here forever with you, just watching the world pass us by.
It's like were the only two existing now, i'd walk the world in search of you if i had to
i'd never give up.
your kiss is what lets my night become day, the kiss that never was has always been.
