Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.

Leaving The World Behind
i don't know where she is going now
but i know i am going to drown...down.

Your pillow dreams are soothing
Go ahead and sleep my sweetest friend
Go on and ignore my selfish brooding
You'll never have to deal with me when i'm upset

I'll set fire to my four limbs and lay on the grass
I will ember in the night and watch the streaming people pass.

The roses I gave you last year
Are dead by now for certain
The dead pedals from those flowers
Are used to keep this fire burning

The flames are dying down
We need more wood for this fire
and I am sleeping in a lonely bed
finding it hard to aspire
the light is fading and i kiss your forehead
close your eyes and lie gently into bed
don't worry about me my beautifuil girl
i am stepping out of your world.
