Something Else

Around we go,
Up, down, sideways.
Sad misunderstanding leading to beautiful corrections.
Faster and faster my mind races,
Girl, you've got me spinning.
Didn't expect it,
From one encounter.
But it's there and I love it.
So strange to think,
But you've got me crushin'.
Smile for me,
And I'll dance for you.
You pick the beat,
I'll be there.
Write me a song,
So I can sing it off key.
Just to see you laugh.

What to do
Where to go
I don't know how to act
You confuse me so

Smile nice
Be polite
Just nod my way through
Assume my place

All the while
All the time
My heart beats a rhythm
In my ears

Not interested
Don't want to feel
The need to see you smile
Hear your voice

Hm

Trust is a fragile thing.
In people,
In life,
In humanity.
And in yourself.

Knowledge

My mind will always go back to that day
When everything felt alright
The water flowing with you beside me
And the peace I felt
You were good for me
And bad for me
But I will always remember your eyes
And what they taught me the day you walked away

Silence Is Tempting

The whispers like to stalk the day
And scream at the night
Howl through the quiet
And laugh through the noise
The are your hopes
They are your dreams
The companions you keep
Who let the loneliness be known
Do you know
How to chase them away
When you're afraid to get close
To let your flaws flow free
Is it worth it
The rejection you're afraid to feel
Again and again and again

Yeah

You don't know,
Don't know how much,
I hated what's inside.
Inside of me that made me do,
Do all those things,
That hurt you.
Pain reflected in my palms,
Palms so powerless,
In their uselessness.
My mind spoke,
Spoke oh, so loudly,
Screamed and cursed the tears away.
Day after day,
Days turned to weeks turned to months,
And the resounding sting remains.
A scar on who I have become.

Damn

The beauty is in the making.
Not the living,
Not the dying.

The strength is in the weakness.
Not the courage,
Not the pride.

The joy is in the overcoming.
Not the moment,
Not the brightness.

The life is in the you.
Not the them,
Not the it.

Woah

Up and down,
Life throws you around.
Twist and turn,
Your stomach churns.

Constants never constant,
Disappointment around the bend.
Never know what's coming next,
Bang, it's done.

Sometimes

The wind blows swiftly and I dream,
Of a time far away.
I wish it would carry me there,
But my thoughts are too heavy.

A place of comfort and ease,
In it's quiet stability.
The Winters warm and Summers cool,
Always looking forward to waking up tomorrow.

I hear the sirens on the breeze and wonder,
Will that come again before my time.
The sweet escape into life,
where no one but one knows me.
