Inspired Alice

My name is Heather Alice & this is the noise in my head.
I don’t know that Paolo’s the love of my life, but I’ve decided to give him the chance to be. Maybe true love is a decision. You know, a decision to take a chance with somebody. To give to somebody. Without worrying whether they’ll give anything back. Or if they’re gonna hurt you, or if they really are the one. Maybe love isn’t something that happens to you. Maybe it’s something you have to choose.

Yes your motives are tasteless… But your mouth is so bitter sweet.
When my worst fears surround me I’ll just wait for you to sweep me right off my feet.
And your face is blushed red as you scream for forgiveness.
The mistakes you can’t forget, it’s the regret that you’re wearing.
I’m not afraid of the consequence, I’ll take the blame for it all.
All for the sake of the argument, I’ll just wait for my conscience to call.

I walk home alone with you  and the mood you’re born into… Sometimes you let me in and I take it on the chin
And the God of Wine is crouched down in my room… You let me down, I said it
Now I’m going down and you’re not even around
I can’t keep it all together
And there’s a memory of a window… 
Looking through I see you, searching for something I could never give you
And there’s someone who understands you more than I do.
A sadness I can’t erase, all alone on your face.

And the God of Wine is crouched down in my room… You let me down, I said it

Now I’m going down and you’re not even around

I can’t keep it all together

And there’s a memory of a window…

Looking through I see you, searching for something I could never give you

And there’s someone who understands you more than I do.

A sadness I can’t erase, all alone on your face.

Reality is coming…
Can you hear it’s deafening roar?
Up & up we go.

Sometimes… I just need to play make believe with you.

I wonder what you look like, under your t-shirt. I wonder what you sound like, when you’re not wearing words. I wonder what we have, when we’re not pretending.

Change comes from connection across difference not by erasing difference.

Remember when you looked me in my eyes and asked me to be there for you?

Well, that’s all I was trying to do.

 

All we are is skin and bones, trained to get along.
