On my purevolume. I hope you like it.

Move You To Love

Monday comes, the rain it falls
Like shattered glass of the window to your pain

I know it hurts, I can relate
I feel it most when I can’t make you smile

Well, I, I count it gain when all is loss
And, I think it’s time for you rearrange
Some priorities

Need I remind you…

My shadow is at your feet
For I am with you
My shadow is at your feet
And I am in you
I want to move you to love me
But you gotta love yourself

So lift up your head and stand tall
I will give power to the faint, and I will give you rest

You can run and not be weary
Like an eagle, you will mount up with wings
And fly

Have you not known, and have you not heard?

Need I remind you…

I love you, I love you, I love
I love you and it is enough

Call to Recovery

With a cold blooded heat wave
We tore through the walls
And nobody else could hear it
No, nobody else could hear it

With one last strand, one hair of defense
The tension snapped
And nobody else could know it
Till they’ve seen it in your eyes

So wipe the blood from your brow
Spit the dirt off your teeth
And just forget about me

-Zach

Standstill (Regret an Exhale)

I might stare at the air for hours with this one wonder on my mind
Why does my heart beat an extra time or two for you?
I am on the fence of whether untying this knot would unlock this stop
And it would bleed to do, to forget you

So this is our standstill
This is our pin to pull

Should I cut my heart out of you?
Well, I’m scared it’ll hurt you, too

You might wake up and draw a painless breathe in the morning
I might regret an exhale of words written with my own blood
And falling from the fence might hurt, but is it worth it?
And it would bleed to do, to forget you

When we run away
You’ll be somewhere I won’t know
And I will kill myself in search of it

Should I cut my heart out of you?
Well, I’m scared it’ll hurt you, too

-Zach

Pages in Puddles

Cold, we seep through pages
and red, we throw the knives
Are you sure that it is supposed to hurt
just as much now, that you’re pulling it out
Can we break and work together, let me rest
upon this ledge – I swear I will not jump
I swear I will not fall, even when you do let go

I swear that you can trust me
Just let me learn to walk again
You know that I will be here
And I will run before too long
as you smile from a distance -
and it’s ok if you admit it

Dark, all our puddles on the floor
we’ve left behind, we’ve stamped as past
We’ve purposed ourselves to avoid these memories

But I hope that I will see your face again
And maybe the blood stains will have gone by then

-Zach

The Storm

We’re losing ground
We’re falling out
Are we letting go
Of what we’ll never know
Because it could have happened
We could have fell in love
It could have been us
We could have fell in love
Like the rain falls on us, we just can’t help it

Could you help it
You were scared
Could you help it
I was scared
Did we need it
Did we need the fear
To open our eyes
‘Cause we didn’t see it
When love came near

The thunder rolls, the lightning falls
The rain, it knocks upon our doors
It was inviting us out, it was igniting our love
But we were so held back, we were so scared
We didn’t care to see the things that could have been
Only the things that were then

We’ve lost our ground
And we fell out
We’ll never know
Why we let go
In the storm

-Zach

Sigh (October 22, 2009)

I breathe out a little too much when I think of you
And I come close to shaking at just a glimpse of your name
I wonder if you will ever know

I’m too scared, I’m just too scared to do this right
I’m too frail, I feel this gale and I’m out of your sight
Because if you see me, too, you’ll see I’m a fool
But you might not that it’s a fool for you that I am

I think too long about all of what what-ifs we do
But I don’t know which way to go
How about you close your eyes, and I come close
Whatever it takes for you to talk to me, we’ll see

But I breathe out a little too much when I think of you
You see, you took my breath away
