take me to the sea.

inching for a fight.
ready to pack my bags, and leave my name behind.

find a new me,
a new place,
a new outlook.

i often ask myself,

"christopher, why are you so complicated?"

I answer with a wry grin.

"I ask myself the same thing sometimes."

come and save me from myself.

red rover 

red rover

send madness right over.

give me my sleep back.

give me my words back.

give me my desire.

my life is in a coma.

today is only a reflection of tomorrow.

every corner is the same.

new names same faces.

i know that life isn't easy.

but i never knew it was so uncomfortable.

my wrinkled skin betrays my age.

my tight lips eclipse my smile.

nobody should ever be comfortable all alone.

put me on a train.

take me to the sea.

let me start over.

give me the chance to do it right.

to do it my way.

my life'e vending machine is offering so much new.

so much excitement and adventure.

but i spent my last quarter on you.

throw me in a bar fight.

give me a high speed chase.

push me out of an airplane.

my life is seriously lacking adventure.

what's worse is, 

i'm becoming used to it. 

dating? tried it.

love? fell deep into it.

lust? been consumed by it.

give me serenity.

show me necessity.

cover me, in spontaneity.

my eyes have lost sight of my dreams.

and my will to search has diminished.

i sleep on the floor.

i play the bongo drums.

i listen to my music.

i won't let anyone inside.

i don't know why.

but i wish i did.

i'm out of place.

out of thought.

out, of my mind.

row

row

row your boat gently down the stream.

merrily

merrily merrily

merrily,

life is but a dream

head strong.

lose yourself in my sunrise.
wake yourself to my humming.

run with no shoes.
sleep with no clothes.

taste the words on my skin.

embark on the journey through my mind.

welcome to my fearless.

transcend tomorrow with me. 

inject your promise into my veins.

cradle my smile. 

play the drums with me.

strum the guitar.

shake the maracas. 

lets make music. 

lose yourself in small talk.

catch up on silly nothings.

catch your shadow.

run to the sea.

ransom the colors of dreams.

in exchange for laughter.

look to the stars.

fall through your worries.

give in.

do not give up.

shout hellos.

whisper goodbyes.

3.

2.

1.

hear the beat in your chest.

see the light in your eyes.

clap your hands and whistle your melody.

kidnap sadness.

lock it in a safe.

throw the key into the night.

monday.

tuesday.

yesterday.

consider yourself mighty.

unconquerable.

unquenchable.

give me a smile, for my empty pockets.

give me a sock, for my old worn shoes.

give me a tomorrow, and i'll give you a forever.
