I've been other places and done new things, and felt the hangman’s noose in a wedding ring. In my running around I've seen too much, but I've a hidden desire a need to be touched. Yet, it's a dying ember a fleeting flame, my need to hear you speak my name.
It's a sudden scream, a howl at the moon that has a touch as gentle as morning dew. When the sun does rise above that moon to hear the rooster sing his tune; it will set the world ablaze. The morning wind will scream my name. Then the world will begin to wake, to see all too clearly the night’s mistakes. Then night comes alive and begins to breath and I am caressed by its misty breeze. And all that was once again will be. But in this moment all I want is for someone to touch me.

i am a lyricist for my band, but i will write for others depending! www.purevolume.com/petitionforcadence BLOG...

Here's to Music (and Lyrics)
written by Kyle Johnson

in the end i feel like i sound the same.
playin' on words and verbs
like they're only children's games.
are you goin' down in flames,
or are you goin' down in lights?
because the truth in the question remains
is there truly a difference or are we just the same?

so call out names
call out numbers
call on anything to make us number
call on my when you're absent and free
call on me if you've found a time of need.
call me, please, because without you
i'm the same as always

we're just lyrical people.
saying our "i love you"s with pens and paper.
makin' planes with restaurant crayons
believing in dreams of paste and paper
i wonder what glues us together
you and me and the world together
the world is so fragile, to what do i owe this pleasure?
the world is a stage, so does that make you
sound or lights
sounds and lights
turn on the broadway brights...
i'm expecting you to go down with a fight.
spotlights drop names like courtiers
we're like courtiers in this cabaret.

so call out names
call out numbers
call on anything to make us number
call on my when you're absent and free
call on me if you've found a time of need.
call me, please, because without you
i'm the same as always

meet me for dinner, greet me like a sinner
the protective coat on my soul's gettin' thinner
so let's lock lips, so we can lock out all the ill meant comments
vaguely disguised in the facade of a left handed compliment
this left hand never had consent
but it never needed it at all
at all

so call out names
call out numbers
call on anything to make us number
call on my when you're absent and free
call on me if you've found a time of need.
call me, please, because without you
i'm the same as always

we met like romeo and juliet
'cept i didnt own a gun or a deathwish
i'm sleepin with a bible under my pillow
and salt in my palm
if i never see you again, well we're always the same.
star crossed and readily insecure
i hope for you i'll still have my words...

so call out names
call out numbers
call on anything to make us number
call on my when you're absent and free
call on me if you've found a time of need.
call me, please, because without you
i'm the same as always

change is only good on the way up
no pressure to the words "don't screw up"
i love you, and you always make me change
and all these changes just make me stay the same.

The love the hate
To kill to break
I give you take

What world is this, what love is this

So wrong I'm right
give up dont fight
Hand in hand

What life is this, what love is this

See me for what I am
Not an empty shell

Fail to plan, plan to fail
I'm doing the best I can
