If The World Would Just End
by Kyler England

if the world would just end tomorrow
then i’d never have to know all the pain or the sorrow
of love lost and faded before its time
i’d forever love you madly if the world would just end…

if the world would just end tomorrow
then i’d never have to watch my dreams smash on the rocks
and i’d soar on the breath of possibility
i’d forever trust in my wings…

god, please forgive me for these terrible thoughts in my head
oh and god, please forgive me, i’m just scared to death of what lies ahead

if the world would just end tomorrow
then i’d never have to face cancer killing my mother
and she would remain always beautiful and young in our hearts…

I Come To You
by Kyler England

my mother said that new love feels like an open wound
and i finally know what she meant
i’m so fragile to your words and to every little thing that you do
my heart is full to the brim and i might overflow at any moment
so don’t forget that i’m new to this, it’s not easy needing you

but i’m not afraid to admit that i need you
and if you know me at all, you’ll see that in my eyes

i come to you
with all the holes in my armor exposed
i come to you
unarmed, without the instincts for how i’m supposed to feel
i come to you
cause it’s all i can do
just wanna be near to you, just wanna be near to you

day by day my fears dry up and fall away and the calm comes creepin’ in
my skin grows tough where it once was thin, and i’m stronger now
but still the road stretches before me a long and unfamiliar highway
so give me a little sign from time to time, and i’ll find my way

i come to you
with all the holes in my armor exposed
i come to you
unarmed, without the instincts for how i’m supposed to feel
i come to you
cause it’s all i can do
just wanna be near to you, just wanna be near to you

Afterglow
by Kyler England

in the afterglow
time passes thick and slow
and it’s then i know
i love you so

under the spell of your gaze
tangled in your embrace
my fear’s gone without a trace
when we’re face to face

the morning holds a beauty and promise that i’ve never ever felt before
and midnight under moonlight shines as brilliant as the day
if forever in your arms i can stay

as our days unfold
and hearts fill to overflowing
to the depths of my soul
i love you so

Even If
by Kyler England

even if you wanted to talk to me, i’m not sure what i would say to you
and even if you wanted to see me, i’m not sure i could look at you
cause when i needed you, you just looked the other way

don’t you know it’s my only consolation when i’m all alone
that i held onto me even though i lost you
i know i’m here cause i chose to be and i wouldn’t change that for anything
if you can’t accept all of me consider this goodbye

even if i could understand you, i’m not sure i would want to
and even if i could take back all the things that i said to you, well i wouldn’t
cause i shouldn’t have to apologize for all that i am

don’t you know it’s my only consolation when i’m all alone
that i held onto me even though i lost you
i know i’m here cause i chose to be and i wouldn’t change that for anything
if you can’t accept all of me consider this goodbye

Lump
by Kyler England

there’s a lump in my throat that has sprung up in sympathy for you
and so i’m sentenced to silence cause there’s nothing i can say or can do
to make things better

i’m not ready to lose you
seems like we’ve just begun
i’d give anything
just to see you well again

there’s a lump in your head that is threatening to change life for you, but please god don’t sentence her to silence cause without her i wouldn’t know what to do
what would i do?

i’m not ready to lose you
seems like we’ve just begun
i’d give anything
just to see you well again

there’s a lump in my throat that’s preventing me from saying to you all the things i need to tell you
and so i’m sentenced to silence cause i’m helpless against what’s ailing you
i can’t make you better

i’m not ready to lose you
seems like we’ve just begun
i’d give anything
just to see you well again

A Fire Burns
by Kyler England

i stretch my arms out to the light
timid shadows in the dawning of the night
i lift leaden feet and granite limbs
and try to conjure up the magic held in them

a tiny glimmer of what was mine
dimmed and deadened by the passage of the time
i’ll fan this ember to a flame
till once again, and to the end, a fire burns within

burns within, a fire burns within
i refuse to ever lose again
the fire that burns within, desire burns within
i refuse to ever lose again
the fire that burns within

electric blue only found in dreams
relieves the drought and waters come flowing forth in streams
they quench my thirst but they feed the flame
till once again, and to the end, a fire burns within

burns within, a fire burns within
i refuse to ever lose again
the fire that burns within, desire burns within
i refuse to ever lose again
the fire that burns within

tied and tangled up in threads of memory
bound by my own gravity
but i long for your love to unravel me, unravel me, unravel me, unravel me

cause it’s burnin within, a fire burns within
i refuse to ever lose again
the fire that burns within, desire burns within
i refuse to ever lose again
the fire that burns within

So Convincing
by Kyler England

here i am on my second wind
i survived love’s skittishness again
i never thought that i would drop my defenses
and let you in
but you were so convincing

here i am at my windowsill
looking out on people passing
cause i’ve got time to kill
i never thought that i would give in to you
of my own free will
but you were so convincing

well am i crazy?
who knows maybe!
but i’m crazy about you
you are so good to me
i never felt this way before you came along
could you please be patient with me
if i lose my way and i’ll be sure to stay
cause you are so convincing

here i stand at your front door
i mistook solitude for freedom
but it’s not that simple anymore
i never thought that i would fall like this
but you were so hard to ignore
cause you are so, you are so, you are so convincing

The Offering
by Kyler England

i used to be so free
i didn’t even notice if anyone noticed me
i felt the urge in my feet and so i ran
saw someone in need and reached out my hand

but schooling has made me practical
and all the hurt has made me skeptical
and now all i want is to let it go
let it show, let it show, let it show

oh and i’d give you half the sky
if i thought that there was one last star
that had not been wished upon one hundred times
and all that i have to give you
is me, myself, and i
and oh i’ll try

the waters lapping i keep them at bay as if to say
who the hell am i to feel this way
thinking you wouldn’t understand my side
but i haven’t even tried, haven’t tried

oh and i’d give you half the sky
if i thought that there was one last star
that had not been wished upon one thousand times
and all that i have to give you
is me, myself, and i
and oh i’ll try

if wishes were horses, well, i’ve been riding all of my life
but i haven’t gotten much of anywhere, just gone around, and around, and around
with all the words unspoken, and all the rules unbroken
well this carousel has lost its attraction

i lay my offering at stake
on the table for you to take
my guard’s not down she’s just standing at ease
on her knees, on her knees, on her knees

oh and i’d give you half the sky
if i thought that there was one last star
that had not been wished upon one million times
and all that i have to give you
is me, myself, and i
and oh i’ll try
i’ll try, oh i’ll try
oh i’ll try…
