By Saves The Day

And I will flail under these lights,  

That seep down from the bitter sky tonight

And I will kick, and beat my wrists together

And feel an ocean breathing waves, 

Feel them licking at my face

Ceilings don't exist, and there are no floors beneath me

If I were king of this night, would you become my queen?

And I hope, your majesty, that you like your position

I'll do everything I can, to keep you by my side

And I'll stare off through the darkness, to find us a kingdom

Just kiss me before I go

I'll have to walk a thousand miles 

Just to find the ground deserving of your feet

You could throw me down, and walk on me

And I'd just look on through my love, and through the haze

And I hope, your majesty, that you like your position

I'll do everything I can, to keep you by my side

And I'll stare off through the darkness, to find us a kingdom

Just kiss me before I go

The nightingales are singing now

They're calling out our marriage 

To our subjects on their knees

Their jewelery is thrown into the air

They sigh at their release

As their shackles hit the ground

The trumpets call out now

We're home at last

And I hope, your majesty, that you like your position

I'll do everything I can, to keep you by my side

And I'll stare off through the darkness, to find us a kingdom

Just kiss me before I go

When all is lost

You've got nothing more

Nothing more to fear

Than me, and lovers blood

Draped across your tangled flesh, and bones

Your taste is all I know

Someday you'll find me

Where the darkness grows from light

And the waters flow like rivers, from your chest

And your heart, your heart

Is breaking mine to pieces

Wait

When all is lost

You've got nothing more to fear

Than Me

Overboard

By Ryan Johnston

Was it something that we engraved,

Or was it carved into us?

At bedtime, forever loved

Hanging onto the tail, of tales

 If we could be a part of it

If we could feel the love..

And if things didn't work out,

Could we become what we let go?

Could we let it go?

Was it speechless?

Calling feeling to that control

Was it everything, that you'd hoped for?

Leaving estranged,

All you knew were strangers

Leaving what you recall

Ending, broken down

Never on board,

But you'll go over one

You'll go over

Mud Hill

Car windows icing over 

Speaking steam, with your breath 

Through the floating strands of your hair 

Am I just like the rest?

You say you don't want anyone, or anything

Say this hurts you too 

I wouldn't bother, but this means everything to me 

So spare me now 

Rehearse the words you say 

Repeat them again, as you see my driveway 

While searching for something more 

Beyond this lonely hill 

I pretend to hear you 

Act as if I understand 

I try to convince you, I don't hate you 

But it's hard to do 

You say you don't want anyone, or anything

Say this hurts you too 

I wouldn't bother, but this means everything to me 

So spare me now 

Rehearse the words you say 

Repeat them again, as you see my driveway 

While searching for something more 

Beyond this lonely hill

Pals

Chewing on trash, fluorescent blues

Don't eat the food, don't even move

Just get on your feet

Didn't put up a fight, didn't even try

Just sat and waited, completely fleeced and baited

But no. No Sir

Pals, thru and thru, huddled in a violent room

Carving on the wall with broken fingernails

Laying on the floor, a toilet with no door

In the unknown, when I get lonesome

Some how you help me feel

Man, I feel

Pals, thru and thru

Ghosts Of Fallen Stars

Ghosts Of Fallen Stars

By Ryan Johnston

Shoreline, cloak and dagger sky, clear when you could see

Both of us moving now, drifting wreckage in the waves

And the current beneath us breathes, like an underwater wind

Pulling you away from me

On these Summer nights, with a kingdom fast asleep

The ghosts of fallen stars, haunt a restless galaxy

Like a cemetery view, from a window in your room

Endings are all I see

Old photographs, they dangle on a string

Frozen imagery, hooked to summertime dreams

A picture that you carved, never moving from your arm

Anchored to memories

Spring is a waiting room,

Waiting for a turn

Winters heavy eyes

Falling like her crown

She'll leave with an avalanche

Gaining weight and speed

A suicidal drive

Always instilled in me

And I'm, daydreaming again

Something, that I have never been

And there is no order here

Nothing left for me

The cadence to my heart

Seems to have lost it's beat

There are no time machines

No needles or thread

Only broken glass

That won't reflect or mend

And I'm, unable to stay afloat

A heavy chest, gold turned into stone

And I will ponder this

You’ll fall for someone else

I will mourn the loss

Of what to you, does not exist

I'm on the ocean floor

You're shining through the waves

You cemented my heart

Something, that is permanent

And more than my thinking, has me dying
It's got me dying
The pain in our arm, is aiming out

Won't lie down
Don't cry, my day
Don't cry, my day
Don't cry, my day
Don't cry, my day

Apathy falls in the ocean
At least we went down fighting
At the bottom of the ocean
This scenery can fail calm

Up till now been riding fine, yeah
But the curving walls leave me behind, yeah

Do you remember the days?
Did you forget those days?
What would the odds makers say?
Would the odds makers say?

We're drinking on jet streams, through to
Ideas won't happen
Laid out on benches, through to
Sink for this reason

If you see through these motives,
You'll please report your progress
To the captain, our captain
So he can mark the atlas

Never considered this a prize
But the curving walls leave me behind

Do you remember the days?
Did you forget those days?
What would the odds makers say?

We're drinking on jet streams, through to

Outbound 

By Transit

On an outbound train, surrounded by strangers

I wonder, just where they'll go

As the world flies by, right outside my window

I see the birds in the sky, with nowhere else to be

As our train car derails, and rolls into the ocean

I'll be honest, I wouldn't miss a thing

About these cold-hearted towns

And the distance between everyone here, and everything

As the world flies by, outside of my window

I'll be honest, I wouldn't miss a thing

When compassion is dead, we'll drown ourselves

In a sea of paper that glitters like gold

Some say that hate, that it speaks in whispers

But I can hear their curdling screams

And as our train car derails, and rolls into the ocean

I'll be honest about everything

As the world flies by, outside of my window

I'll be honest I wouldn't miss a thing.

As the world flies by, outside of my window

I'll be honest about everything

With the exception of a few familiar faces

This place will never feel like home

So we keep our distance, and we learn to say goodbye

This place will never feel like home to me

You and I, and no one else

I thought you were the one

I thought you were the one

A time we'd never need God's help

I thought you were the one

I thought you were the one

Impatience got the best of us

But love is never wrong

If it's love, it's never wrong

Our bodies joined, and became as one. 

But how could that be wrong?

If it's love, it can't be wrong

Now I'm walking alone

Where the trees bend overhead

Down Cemetery Road 

There's a beautiful silence, 

That keeps me alone

Where the trees bend overhead

Down Cemetery Road 

There's a beautiful silence, 

That keeps me hanging on

It keeps me hanging on

It's strange, the claims that lovers make

To promise to always be anything 

Is to promise the impossible

Yeah, it's strange the claims that lovers make

To promise to always be anything

Is to promise the impossible

We promise the impossible

We wish for the impossible

We pray for the impossible

We wait for the impossible

Leave just as you came (without a sound),

Nothing to ruffle your ends.

I've been wandering around,

Making up movies in my head

So we say don't let it go,

Let me try and pull out pride

I already forget how I used to feel about you

Leave as fast as you came, no invitation

Nowhere to go from here.

I've been wandering around,

Wondering how I got so, got so, so fucking boring

All the sudden, so fucking scared... I'm not scared.

You'd mean so much more to me if I remembered.

Ladder Song

No one knows where the ladder goes.

You're gonna lose what you love the most.

You're not alone in anything.

You're not unique in dying.

Feel estranged every now and then.

Fall asleep reading science fiction.

I wanna fly in your silver ship.

Let Jesus hang and Buddha sit.

It's on now.

The days are long now.

The ups and the sun downs, in a twisting mind.

If I got to go first.

I'll do it on my terms.

I'm tired of traitors, always changing sides.

They were friends of mine.

Don't hang around once the promise breaks.

You'll be there when the next one's made.

Kiss the feet of a charlatan.

Some imagined freedom.

All the rest is predictable.

You can say you're the first to know.

Bought a mantra to concentrate.

Car alarm or hissing snake.

I know now. How its going to turn now.

You gotta calm down, or Ill lose my place.

Gotta get to the center.

Gotta get to the concert.

Run off with a dancer.

Gonna celebrate.

Welcome the new age.

Covered in all your pain.

Lights from the jungle to the sky.

See now a star's born.

Looks just like a blood orange.

Don't it just make ya want to cry?

Precious friend of mine.

Well I know when its finally done.

This whole life is a hallucination.

You're not alone in anything.

You're not alone in trying to be.

Picture-less  

By Ryan Johnston

There wasn't a sound

As it spilled onto the ground

I couldn't run away

And I knew you wouldn't stay

The sun bled through winter trees

Without the tourniquet of summer leaves

There was the brightest light

Lighting seared the bleeding sky

Sealing a night so dark

I knew it would always live on

And I would burn alive

Just to be there one more time

If you'd meet me before the fall

When the mirror reflected smiles

Not a million broken eyes 

One for every time I tried

The blood on the glass is mine

Asleep, and dreaming of the rain

That washed those things away

That night you came to stay

Darkness litters my thoughts

Looking for the road we lost

The best of times we made

Crumbled bread to mark the trail

But the Ravens stormed like a black hurricane

And they swept that place away

And I would burn myself alive

Just to be there one more time

If you could meet me on top of the wall

Before the mirror was the floor

And reflections were so much more

Than bleeding out in broken glass

Asleep, and dreaming in the rain

Washing all those nightmares away

Every moment next to you

I'll be back to pull the garden

Spring has proven winter cruel

And all of summer's beauty, lies there rotting 

Stripped like yours, from you 

And I know I, can't stand remembering 

The dirt under our fingernails 

The silence, your defense 

Tired, over tired hand 

And we spent December 

Given our best shot at hating 

But now, as I remember, 

We had no reason to abuse

I'll force God to notice 

That he, is giving nothing back 

And all of us were wet out in the boneyard 

He washed the tears from you 

And I know you, deserve none of this

My distance, as we stole flowers from his grave 

The silence, my defense 

Tired, over tired hand 

And I recall the ways 

You pretended not to notice 

But we both sowed the soil 

That grew only what could die 

And if you believe,

That I tried only to deceive

You know, that's not, true

Can you feel the wind of Venus on your skin?

Can you taste the crush of a sunset's dying blush?

Stars will always hang in summer's bleeding veins.

Can you feel the rings of Saturn on your finger?

Can you taste the ghosts who shed their creaking hosts?

But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil.

Stars will always hang in summer's bleeding fangs

But seas forever boil, trees will turn to soil.
