Books (Live)

A tender violin I'm high strung
Shouldn't feel this way when I'm oh so young
The trees whisper in a gentle autumn night
About rumors that are coming with the dark and dusty fight
So you whip up a poem about teardrops and emptiness
But does it do shit to help you with your brokenness
Yeah, you got likes and views and fans
But does it replace her like you hoped that it can
So I turn to the bad, yeah a bottle of sin
The feelings are the donkey and the tail I want to pin
Spend hours a day, wasting time on my phone
Pushing them away, because I want to be alone

So hold me tender as the nighttime falls
I try to ignore the words as they scrawl
Get out of my brain, get out of my head
I swear this all the noise in here is driving me insane (Can you just shut up)
Driving me insane
Driving me insane
Driving me insane

What if we were characters in a novel about love
But the author cut us off, a mother from her dove
All the right words that I wrote up on the page
Couldn't fix our built up pent in rage
So I tear the book apart and I want to start anew
But those pages just keep on going, wishing to renew
I run through countless chapters, waiting for the change
But I see the same messed up character that I became
I hope that you write yourself a brand new book
A new protagonist, a new enticing hook
A new bad guy, even if it's me
A new love interest, I hope that he sets you free

Come sit down, grab yourself a book
Inside my written soul, let's take a deep look
A joyful chapter's right around the bend
And then my novel I can happily end

The ink scribbles away in the endless black abyss
I try to replace it, like a tender written kiss
Then I see it slowly, coming up the page
The happiness that I lost far away
So I face the sun as it shines upon my pen
I accept these good feelings, just letting them in
It's all going away, for I've scribbled it down
Because I know that you're okay, and that's the ending to my frown
I'm not the one doing it but you're smiling
That's when I realized it, it all settled in
I truly wish you the best with your book
I'll always love you still, even though I'm your Captain Hook

A make believe world filled with Peter Pans
Forever grateful that I was your man
Be safe from the villains that you'll find on the page
The entire world, your story will change
