Lifeless Smiling Color

Verse
Prick me cause I can't feel pain
everyday just ends the same
and there's nothing I can do
even if there was would I
jinx this happy streak by trying
to lose myself again

I checked the mood ring, it works fine
then why does it still say that I'm
not myself
there are no tears, there is no heartache
just a lifeless smiling color in my eyes
laughing wryly, crying dryly, its all the same

Chorus
Cause I don't feel anymore
it's just a blur around me now
everything's gone grey
can't tell night from day
no it's not the same
there was black and white before
there was wrong and right
and I adored it so, it's not the same

Verse
World is spinning like a spider
weaving her new web to catch the prey
I walk by safely every time
I miss the thrill of getting tangled up inside
Sometimes I like to play with matches
running fingertips across the flame

Nothing is more real than passion
even angels fall to go insane
my hearts in apathetic hands
life and death and blindly side by side
I stare at ceilings from the floor
life faces in a crowd you get ignored

Turn Off The Lights

Verse:
C                                         F                               Dm
Turn off the lights, give me a few simple moments without sight
Let me feel, just hold me close and let me know your real
Breathe in and out, taste the smell of springtime on your tongue, don't doubt
Watch as I go, just don't let me slip too far away

Chorus:
C                 G           Dm                             F
Turn off the lights, sometimes the world just gets too bright
                  C                    G
I'm falling deeper with no end in sight
                               F                                  Dm
Please be there to wake me, just turn off the lights
                                                 F
Hold me close and love me for who I am,
                  G
What I've lost is what I've found
             F                                                 Dm
What I hear is more than sound when I'm in the dark

Verse:
Every breath is like paint, making a beautiful picture on my skin
Let me close my eyes, I can see the sunlight in your hair from behind these lids
Listen to the fan, as it turns round and round in its lonely path
Write me a song, just don't let it carry you away

Chorus

Verse:
If love is all you need, then worry not my friend for that is all I can give to you
These empty hands, sometimes they hold the whole world in a fingertip
I've listened to your heartbeat, and it plays something sweeter than the robin's song
But I still sleep, sometimes to forget these very things

Chorus, then end after Verse one


Side note: Sorry for taking such a long break from everything, clearly the break didn't pertain to writing...or reading for that matter, but I'm lazy so what do you expect? Yeah. *looks at ground and draws unidentified objects (not flying luckily) in the sand/dirt/cement*  If no one knows how to play guitar/paino/anything with chords, then the whole 'adding chords' thing was unnecessary, but oh well, you should learn...I think it's even supposed to help your brain by hearing music.

Chords, for the 3rd line in every verse you switch G in for Dm, and for the last line Cadd9 for C. The last line has no Dm, but goes straight into the chorus.
