When we were young and naive
Thinking of love
But it never last
Maybe im lost in the scaffeling
I pick myself up
And move on
I throw away bones that are buried
They leave no scars
In my back yard
What do you wish on doing
With my selfish words, and
Your familiar ways
You think I left you broken
But what do you know
Im all alone
Ships sail by on the ocean
That I only sea
A few times a year
Salt water heals and refreshes
Along with the sand
Come back to me
Revitalized

Undiscovered
She taste like the summer rain
She smells like a cloudy day
He walks like the crattered moon, but
She never notices you
He talks like a broken string,
He bows down to nobody
She charms like it does no harm, while
He melts in his own arms
Until they realize...
That at all cost
The agony of it all
The best are lost, and
Undiscovered
She whistles like the ocean breeze
She laughs like she can't breath
He runs like guns, aimed to please
She will finally notice me
He saves like he's superman
He thinks like a censorship ban
She's burned like the third degrees, and
He cries like she's the reason
Until they realize...
That at all cost
The agony of it all
The best are lost, and
Undiscovered
We never see whats right in front of us
And when we finally do
Its to late...

Illusions
A thin tactic desperate plea
Cyphered as an illusion to me
Immortal souls, Worn as holes
But no one knows, its all for show
'Cept for the tears below
Impairing visions of tommorrow
Are you still grieving?
They let him down, They let him down
They let him down, They let him down
Paranoid as jealous love
Broken lenses and leather gloves
Displayed as fancied confidence
With mystic tans and shattered promises
When it burns, it just crumbles down
You turn around, I see them now
Are you still listening?
They let him down, They let him down
They let him down, They let him down
A strong silent, quiet type
Never transquilizing any hype
Scarred with sorcerous aspirations
A jackpot of suffering incarnations
Drugged on a flat screen plan
Hypnotized by the cieling fan
He spins around, Foo fighting sounds
Are you still a pretender?
They let him down, They let him down
They let him down, They let him down
It feels like the real thing
It appeals like the real thing
If I could see, what they wanted
If I could just be, who they wanted
Composure is daunted, but it wears me out
Mascara would mascarade seas of drought
Leaving no freedom in doubt
Are you still an illusion?
They let him down, They let him down
They let him down, They let him down
Cyphered as an illusion to me
Immortal souls, Worn as holes
But no one knows, its all for show
'Cept for the tears below
Impairing visions of tommorrow
Are you still grieving?
They let him down, They let him down
They let him down, They let him down

Without Me
I can hear you upstairs lying on the phone
As I sleep in the basement down below
While you talk to him on the patio
You tell him goodbye, I've got to go
I think he's still home
Getting back to the only life I've known
And I think by now, that I should leave
So that you can go off where the grass in green
And play your make believe
Without me
I know its wrong
But I went through your messages
Just to see who he was
Had better been a man
Helping you get closer to the man above
And thats when I confronted you
Selfish with your words
You turned it all around on me
And it all became a blur..
And I think by now, that I should leave
So that you can go off where the grass in green
And play your make believe
Without me
A few months before
Everything was fine
Like an eagle on a par four
You made me feel so alive
but they say everything is about timing
Guess it wasn't our time in the lime lighting
Could have spared me from the heartache
Of staying up late, talkin' to your ex
After I left, back to the 918
I realize now, you weren't even worth pumpin on the brakes...
And I think by now, that I should leave
So that you can go off where the grass in green
And play your make believe
Without me
Its took me 2 years to write this
In memory of you
The girl I met on the internet,
That I once thought I knew
And when I couldn't take it anymo'
I hopped in my black Trans Am
Turned Kenny Loggins up on the radio
Can't Drive just 55
On my highway to the Danger Zone
And I think by now, that I should leave
So that you can go off where the grass in green
And play your make believe
Without Me
As I sleep in the basement down below
While you talk to him on the patio
You tell him goodbye, I've got to go

The Vow
Intro:
They say he doens't exist
But I assure you that he does
So here's my vow to all the non-believers...
Verse 1:
I know its hard to see the leaves
Behind the forrest and the trees
From out the window it may seem,
That your reflection reign supreme, while you're
Sittin', starrin' at your computer screen,
While status updates blow up your news feed
And you're left to read, meaningless lines of poetry
From friends who play make believe,
Wishin' upon movie stars, that you'll never see, fall
You find yourself asking with uncertainty,
Is this all thats meant to be, of it all?
Chorus:
Even on the way down
When theres no easy way out
And you're on your own again
Back to where it all began
Wishing it was over now
But dont look down,
Just believe in me
Believe in The Vow
Verse 2:
If the kind of words, he writes
Turn themselves into knifes
And the words he says
Turn themselves into blades
And you think that love is one big flame
Torch yourself, just to feel the pain
Well heres some courage, just to heal your burns
In the form of words, like an open art gallery
That are put out on display
Cause every word I'd say
Would turn your bad mornings, into the good ol' days
Through timeliness lyrics and priceless pictures
Meant to lift spirits and provide endless ventures
And if its the strength you cant find
Let me say whats on my mind...
You leave me speechless, left as a mime
Cause to me you're like the Ace of hearts,
Baby you're one of a kind...
Chorus:
Even on the way down
When theres no easy way out
And you're on your own again
Back to where it all began
Wishing it was over now
But dont look down,
Just believe in me
Believe in The Vow
Bridge:
And I'd tell you this right now, if you're ever feelin' down
just fall right down on me, and I'll let you wear the crown
Verse 3:
If you let me be, your Ryan Gosling, meets Channing Ta-tum
Then it'll all be smooth sail-in', alls left prevailin', and
Have a Notebook ending, full of countless regimes,
If you know what I mean, Then lets start chasin' dreams
Cause I"d rather turn your sighs, into bottles topped with wine
So you will, never have to cry, and you'll always be mine
And even if you wreck your car, and forget who we are
It wont be enough to disbar, I'll become a Czar
Turn my weakness into power, and shower you with flowers
So your amnesia only sours, through each passing hour
And when the time surely comes, that you're back in my arms,
I'll twiddle your thumbs, and protect you from any harm
We'll sit down by, the fireplace, open my literature
Vow upon you ever more, while you read my scriptures
Let the memories take you, and guide you on your way
Just hold on to the images, Wont let sadness find your day
Chorus:
Even on the way down
When theres no easy way out
And you're on your own again
Back to where it all began
Wishing it was over now
But dont look down,
Just believe in me
Believe in The Vow

Two peas in a Squad
She?
Goes from watchin her baby nappin'
To desperately searchin' for the love story
Afraid it'll never happen, and
While everyones gettin' hitched,
Shes out in the crowd, clappin'
Left feelin' like she ain't ever good enough
While she's collapsin',
She just wants someone to pick her back up
But she's been built ford tough,
Skins been country thickened,
Small in stature, but rugged, and rough
Scream at the top of her lungs, enough is enough!
Her hopes in doubt, while faith is left tested
Thats when he comes in, to give her a message
Someday you'll get to hear them applaud
but for now, you're just...
One pea in a pod
He?
Goes from one girl to the next
Always makes the wrong move
Playin' checkers instead of chess
Out of his circle of friends,
He's the only one left,
Without a ring on his finger
Thoughts provoke 'em and linger
Writes all these dark love songs
But is left without a singer
He's got everything in this world that he needs,
Pockets full of money,
Library full of books he'll never read
Mistunderstood by his peers
Hanging at the top, but on his way down
Like a crystal Chandelier
Wondered which direction does he go from here?
Cause they fraudly mistake his perfection as facade
Which leaves him as...
One pea in a pod
Them?
Well, they go way back
Sort of like history
How they rekindled?
Well that remains a mystery
They both believe...
Slippery slopes usually insult the injuries
But one could say, they had an epiphany
She used to chase him on the playground
Buzzin' around like an annoying little knat
Flooding his vision with attention till he drowned,
Now all he wants is her to do that, and
While she's brok-en and he's broke-out
Both took an alternate scenic route
Fought all them nights in doubt
Despite all the stormy weather,
They say the road less travelled
Always brings 'em back together
They also say when two peas meet,
All the flaws are awed...
Might as well make it...

Natalie
Intro (Narration):
What the hell did I know about dreams?
For some people it was still a place of hope,
A chance to start over
The idea was if you could get there, everything would be okay
And if it wasn't okay there, well it probabley wasn't going to be okay anywhere.
Verse 1:
Well I met this one at T.I.A
First glimpse of her at airport secur-i-tay
On a vacation to Miami,
Had Long brown hair, with blonde highlights
Didn't seem like the kind infatuated by Twilight
Think she's goin down in history
Infectious as a white, greek, mytho queen
Soft spoken and sexy, like I had never seen
Kind that ive only, scene on the movie screen
Well she checked me and my luggage bag,
Saw the novels that I had in hand
Walked me to the closest magazine stand
Claims she regonized me from my ID
Gave me a free book to read
Oh, she did this ever so sensually,
Said she was from the same small town
Lived outside the highschool downtown
How could this be someone I had never seen?
And she looked just like Karen from Californication
As I await another tropical destination,
I asked her what her name was as she kneeled,
but sadly, I woke up without having it revealed
Air forces pulled me to her like gravity,
I say, we should, just call her Natalie
Chorus:
Want her to take a ride next to me
In our first class seats
Meet at the hotel in the terrance suite
Just come with me
Just come with me
Theres no better way to fly,
Way up in the sky
Especially if we're seein eye to eye
Than on an airplane, tonight
Bridge (Narration):
When you dream there are no rules.
People can fly, anything can happen
Sometimes theres a moment as you're awaking.
You become aware of the real world around you.
But you are still dreaming.
You may think you can fly but you better not try
Verse 2:
Hindered is my Arrogance, while
They leave, they say Ignorance is Bliss
Trapped in a trance of my last chance, in Abyss
After our last long drive, our last good-bye kiss, I'm
Holding on...it left me with something to miss, but
What made her think of me this way?
Didn't think I'd have to warn you
That i'd always remain the same
I miss how she gave me confidence in face
The way that her innocence taste
Guess I should have known better
That we weren't really meant to be together
But dont get me wrong
This ain't your typical love song
Where the chorus goes on and on and on
Even though she's gone, gone, and gone
They say one journey must end
before another one can begin
Can't wait to dream of her again...
Dont even know her name, or her sign
Just knew that I wanted her to find,
A way into my reality,
Wasn't ready to think rationally,
But for now, I'll just call her Natalie
Chorus:
Want her to take a ride next to me
In our first class seats
Meet at the hotel in the terrance suite
Just come with me
Just come with me
Theres no better way to fly
Way up in the sky
Especially if we're seein eye to eye
Than on an airplane, tonight
Outro (Narration):
She was real to me,
For however long I was inception
And she was exactly what I was looking for
So even when I can't find her in reality
At least I know ill see her in my unconscious
But what the hell did I know about dreams?
For me, it's still a place for hope.
A place for me to be with, Natalie.

How I'm Created
Bricks, sticks, and stones
Will never break my bones
Grab a noose, and have you castrated
If your words alone
Could take my soul
Thats just how I'm created
Throw me under the bus?
Expect me to lift it back up, and
Carry it on my shoulders
Can't hide when your shadow is shaded
Set it down before you
Watch you scramble in the rearview,
Then run you back over
That's just how I'm created
Tend to break the cement,
when I hit the ground, runnin'
Leave the rest of the world sedated
Watch the concrete split
When I unload a round, gunnin'
That's just how I'm created
Broke-in and Broke-out
Sheilded with Shrouds
Mood changes amongst the hated
Deprivated and Depressed
Striving above the best
That's just how I'm created
Religious or damned
Never giving in to the man
My wish is to be cremated
Heavens or Hells
Not my opinion to tell
That's just how I was created
Friday, February 17, 2012
Didn't They Shine
She promised you stars
Like you write all her pages
All the utensils
And the company of strangers
The fear that you came with
When you thought you’d escaped it
But even while breaking
You could still be persuaded
Like you write all her pages
All the utensils
And the company of strangers
The fear that you came with
When you thought you’d escaped it
But even while breaking
You could still be persuaded
Lookin out...
Across the lights...
Across the lights...
Until the morning
Oh but didn’t they shine
Like the night sky
And didn’t they shine
Like a hazy day
Like champagne and heartbreak
Oh but didn’t they shine
Oh didn’t they shine
Like the night sky

Mirror Mirror
Verse 1:
Splash ya face, with the hot water that pours down
Head held low, as you reach for the towel
Lights off, Faucet still on, after ya done drowned ya own
Air dry all of ya sorrows, in case you've hit a new low
It's like batteling your twin, and goin' toe to toe
blow for blow, bet yall didn't know
Look up, then look down
All I can muster up is a frown
I see disgust in your fierce eyes
No pain hidden in my pierced pride
Blemishes emphasize the word to the wise
I see the truth in your lies...
Chorus:

Chorus:
Out of my Hands
Getting hard to trust again
Dating sevens, all the way to tens
Even on the way down, they
Only let me down
So I stop and grab my pen
To see if writers block has set back in
Even on the way down, they
Only let me down
No, I didnt mind your tattoos
Skin so flawless, yet so true
Even on the way down,
they still let me down
Cause its out of my hands
Breaking my heart,
Letting you go, not sure whos at fault
Theres no easy way out
When weather is...
Overcasted with clouds
When is it over?
When is it over?
More questions than answers
You said, bitterness is like cancer, but I
Saw it in your eyes, that you wouldnt leave
Guess I didn't know what that really means
Tried to touch your life, Your air I tried to breath
Even on the way down, they
Only let me down
Guess we were complimenting opposites
Documenting like a neurologist slash psychologist
My muse you were, appreciation of the arts
Said all the right things, but still had it all wrong
Singin your last song, reachin' for the top of the charts
When is it over?
When is it over?
So many things I should have said
In a game that doesnt matter if you're ahead
Instead, The battle has long been shed
Two sad wars that can't count the dead, So
Even on the way down, they
Only let me down
My mind and soul are buried away
Six feet deep, just to hide the pain
Sacrificed to please, mummified to ease
But my heart wont let go,
What I'd give to be young, wild and free,
Infected with rejection, like a disease
But I know, that...
Its out of my hands
Breaking my heart,
Letting you go, not sure whos at fault
Theres no easy way out
When weather is...
Overcasted with clouds
When is it over?
When is it over?
Just know that I understand why, and I still think you are amazing. I'm sorry I didn't have much to say, but know that I have nothing bad to say, to you. I tried to hide my nerves admist the confidence that you provided me with. I guess maybe I was still afraid to let someone in, as you were. We're more alike than you probabley think. But I suppose now is time to let you go. Cause its out of my hands. Happy Valentines Day. I wish you nothing but the best, and I'm always here if you need anything. And just one more thing, Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mr. Perfect
Dating sevens, all the way to tens
Even on the way down, they
Only let me down
So I stop and grab my pen
To see if writers block has set back in
Even on the way down, they
Only let me down
No, I didnt mind your tattoos
Skin so flawless, yet so true
Even on the way down,
they still let me down
Cause its out of my hands
Breaking my heart,
Letting you go, not sure whos at fault
Theres no easy way out
When weather is...
Overcasted with clouds
When is it over?
When is it over?
More questions than answers
You said, bitterness is like cancer, but I
Saw it in your eyes, that you wouldnt leave
Guess I didn't know what that really means
Tried to touch your life, Your air I tried to breath
Even on the way down, they
Only let me down
Guess we were complimenting opposites
Documenting like a neurologist slash psychologist
My muse you were, appreciation of the arts
Said all the right things, but still had it all wrong
Singin your last song, reachin' for the top of the charts
When is it over?
When is it over?
So many things I should have said
In a game that doesnt matter if you're ahead
Instead, The battle has long been shed
Two sad wars that can't count the dead, So
Even on the way down, they
Only let me down
My mind and soul are buried away
Six feet deep, just to hide the pain
Sacrificed to please, mummified to ease
But my heart wont let go,

Infected with rejection, like a disease

Breaking my heart,
Letting you go, not sure whos at fault

Photograph Manifestation
Noticing the barn out in the distance
written lyrics to a sentence, as I witness
a repetitious repetition,
that we all fail to mention.
It's grace, how it has the best intentions
We forget the admiration
The Photograph Manifestation
I stop and take a picture
The musings of a mentor
as the solitude never simmers
somberish street lights glimmer
behind the lens of existence
The Photograph Manifestation
Rather it be photography for beginners
learnin from the master like Leonardo from Splinter
hardwork and dedication all through the winter
and when all else fails, just take another picture
When in doubt, allow no hesitation
The Photograph Manifestation
They say a photo shows a thousand words
like a mother feeding worms, to its baby birds
learn to realize the camber, to capture the red furn
and earn another turn to burn all the yearns
Dispel all creedance of temptation
The Photograph Manifestation
How about the beauty of the ocean
as it flows along the shore with perpetual motion
resulting in the notion that the deepest devotion
is permiable to an explosion of countless love potion
opening up all sense of emotion,
a premonition of the stunning corrosion
Disertation of the life of a Crustacean
These are just...

Sweetest Lullaby
Verse 1 & 2:
Know that I will never hurt you
No, I will never leave
You pulled me into falling
Wearing my emotions on my sleeve
My heart is open for the taking'
Just please dont leave it broken
Know, you'll never stand alone, it
Feels like im drowning in the riverbanks
Not worthy of the sea
Feels like my car has stalled on the highway
Runnin out of gasoline
Feels like im held up at a toll booth
Not worthy of the fee
Feels like im down and out and broken
Until you made me feel worthy, of me
Chorus:
I'm left writing, writing, writing,
yeah I'm left crying, crying, crying
Feel like dying, dying, dying
Instead, I'm lefting writing, writing, writing
till your left sighing, sighing, sighing
till your left crying, crying, crying
till them tears flow down your side
just let me sing you asleep
The Sweetest Lullaby
Verse 3 & 4:
Now I know that you have scars
and I know you are afraid
It may seem like your voice is gone and far
But your echo to me, will never fade
Hang on to me, when only a string remains
I'll make sure the friction never leaves you frayed
Believe in me and what I'm about
And when the forcasted finally lifts
From this cold and dreary drought
Know I will not leave you crying
No, I will not let you down
Chorus:
I'm left writing, writing, writing,
yeah I'm left crying, crying, crying
Feel like dying, dying, dying
Instead, I'm lefting writing, writing, writing
till your left sighing, sighing, sighing
till your left crying, crying, crying
till them tears flow down your side
just let me sing you asleep
The Sweetest Lullaby
Know that I will never hurt you
No, I will never leave
You pulled me into falling
Wearing my emotions on my sleeve
My heart is open for the taking'
Just please dont leave it broken
Know, you'll never stand alone, it
Feels like im drowning in the riverbanks
Not worthy of the sea
Feels like my car has stalled on the highway
Runnin out of gasoline
Feels like im held up at a toll booth
Not worthy of the fee
Feels like im down and out and broken
Until you made me feel worthy, of me

Forgive me
Verse 1:
You once said, that I was perfect
I'll tell you now, I'm far from it
but it was the nicest thing I'd ever heard
Your photoshop comment touched my heart
I knew from this moment,
That this was a new start, for us
but I must warn you now,
I may not always make you proud
but ill try to blend in with the rest of the crowd
and here are my apolagies, truly endowed
Chorus:
Forgive me for the way ill act
Forgive me for fallin' so fast
Have a tendancy to mess things up,
I hope you can get past all that
I'll admit my problems
I push to hard, I want it all
Then I watch it all fall apart
Dreams fall through the cracks on the boulevards
And I just want you here to make me…better
Verse 2:
Better than ive ever been
I"ll be your Barbie, if you'll be my Ken
Wait, I think I just messed that up, again
All you need to know, is that on a scale of one to five
You're a ten, and...
Ill' shower you with flowered roses,
Ones left fake, but one knows this
Pick them up and smell then with your senses,
Walk up to the mirror, so you can see
the 13 most beautiful things to me….
Now open the card, and listen my dear
It'll read that I'll be here
Til the very last one dies
Can wait to see your face, when you realize the surprise
Man, ive never been so lost, in someone elses eyes
Chorus:
Forgive me for the way ill act
Forgive me for fallin' so fast
Have a tendancy to mess things up,
I hope you can get past all that
I'll admit my problems
I push to hard, I want it all
Then I watch it all fall apart
Dreams fall through the cracks on the boulevards
And I just want you here to make me…better
Verse 3:
Id buy you anything
In this world, a diamond ring
Just forgive me for everything, that I am
And just promise me one last thing
That you'll never change the record on this very song I sing
I'm sorry for everything, that i'll be
Just stay with me through thick and thin
So this new life, we can now begin
And if it seems that you can't win, my friend
ill run into a wall, and bruise my shin
just to see the laughter from your infectious grin
Give me the fairy tale end...

Dream Worth Saving
Intro:
I would lie awake, in my bed, all alone
My mind would not shut off,
instead, all the voices inside my head
Throbbed of endless thoughts that needed shed
Until one day I closed my eyes, and
All the noises disappeared,
And I dreamt a dream worth savin'
Verse 1:
You saved me from the darkest place
Been disconnected from every holy place
You saved me from the swamp
Been lied to and shamed
You saved me from all the disgrace
From all the pain
You saved me from me, Mr. two faced
Chorus:
I used to dream about millions
Now all I dream about is you
For you're a dream come true
No matter how cliche,
The dream worth saving, is you..
Verse 2:
Let me tell you about my dreams, lately
They all involve the same girl
shes not dressed up in diamonds and pearls
but when I look into her earth toned eyes,
I see the world, and shes my girl
wrapped up in charisma from the fifties
she'd use the word swell,
well thats nifty, to me
and in my dreams shes reality
and reality is nothing short of a tragedy
if she ain't in my dreams
Chorus:
I used to dream about millions
Now all I dream about is you
For you're a dream come true
No matter how cliche,
The dream worth saving, is you...
Outro:
To seal my dreams,
Could use a kiss goodnight
Surreal it seems, Serenities bright
Regained faith in Trinity, tonight
Falling asleep to the left of you
Waking up right next to you'
Now, thats a dream worth savin'
No cliche, just truth
I would lie awake, in my bed, all alone
My mind would not shut off,
instead, all the voices inside my head
Throbbed of endless thoughts that needed shed
Until one day I closed my eyes, and
All the noises disappeared,
And I dreamt a dream worth savin'
Verse 1:
You saved me from the darkest place
Been disconnected from every holy place
You saved me from the swamp
Been lied to and shamed
You saved me from all the disgrace
From all the pain

Portrait of Perfection
...but at some point I had to choose happiness, I had to make that a priority, over everything. Yes, Im talkin about you, dont worry about me, cause really if all your life is, is a series of meaningless flings, and some idealized vision of our love story, then im really sad for you. Because I know what your capable of. But what if I'm wrong? What if this is it for you? What if you're just destined to sit around and wait for the band to get back together. I guess you're just waiting on a miracle. A miracle that is no longer going to every amount to anything more than a fantasy. Because I've moved on. On to someone else that appreciates me and gets excited about our existence. It's real. And you couldnt give me that.
...and yet, seeing her reminds me of you. Safely saying, I see you in her, which is why im drawn to her. But is that fair? To her? The object of my desires is now loosely based on a false recollection of a past resemblance. Or could there be more to this? More to this illusion than just deceivance? Only time will tell, but I think its safe to say that you're gone, and not re-appearing. Maybe she's the sign I've been looking for, the better version of you that you always wanted me to discover, and for that I thank you for leaving my life and allowing for her to come into it. It's been a blessing in disguise really.

It's been a blessing in disguise really.
...I think it was her smile that did it for me, and everything that came along with it. That soft giggle that just warms the opposing heart, allowing old wounds to die in an instant. It was just one week. One week is all it took for me to know. But I think ill keep that from her for now. She's more than deserving, but am I, thats the question that lingers. Because I don't know If I can handle the pain of getting hurt again. Becoming broken, really. I've been down that road. And everything from this point only seems like a chance. A risky one at bet. Though I have a feeling this one is worth it. I don't know how I know. Or how its any different than any other time that I've fell for a girl, but it is. This time it's different, and im out to make sure of that. For her sake that is.
...cause it started off as another casualty. I didn't know what it all really meant. Possibly another victim of sobriety, or society for that matter. All I knew was her depiction, as it radiated with exquisite admiration, on my part. It was as if she was staring right at me with those gorgeous earth toned eyes, putting Mona Lisa's smile in exile, redefining art as we know it. I could only envision her elegance at this time. On paper, she was the portrait of perfection. A timeless, goddess like being that fell into my lap. How anyone could have let this go is beyond me at this point. But in this true to life game of lost and never found, I think i've stumbled upon a precious stone, a gem, a lost treasure...
Come home to me
I’m not sure why I cant sleep
All I know right now, is you’re the thing I need
I send this prayer up to the stars so you’ll see
That I just want you to come home to me
What would you say?
If I told you all my secrets
Would you walk away
... Or would you hold on?
I’ll write you many love songs
If you promise our love remains strong
My bitterness has ceased
With all the stormy weather
Not everything gets clean as it gets messy
But we all learn our valuable lessons
Along the way, we stop lookin’
Down into that bottle of 5th , and
That barrel of smith and wesson
And I’m sure its hard for you
It’s hard for me, too
Though I wont make believe
We’ll both get by
Im hoping someday soon we’ll figure out a way
To spend a little time, not saying goodbye
Cause I don’t ever wanna say goodbye
I don’t ever wanna say goodbye
To you
Nothin moves me anymore
I want impatiently for your footsteps, at the door
Cause you’re everything I was looking for
Above all things, you’re what I believe
So please, just come home to me.
Just come home,
Baby, please come home
To me,
My Reason Why
My Reason Why
Surrounded by the streets lights,
As they grace the paved dark city
I find a way, to reach out
In a way that seems so witty
Surrounded by the streets lights,
As they grace the paved dark city
I find a way, to reach out
In a way that seems so witty
As they run deep through my luminescent arms,
So just in case, I’ll hide myself behind the shadows,
Sometimes life, yeah sometimes like seems so very far...
But, I wish that you could see
What all that’s left of me
Surrender broken dreams
Yet, I’m still trifling
But im all right, and
I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
I just want a reason to call you mine
Let me tell you why…
There is a story here, I feel it
A search for something real,
And I believe this
You found me on the ground,
Where I was bleedin’
but you came around
to pick me up, from bein’ broken
Cause you are my reason why
Just waiting on the clouds to break
Praying for a chance to take
I dream of you, dreamin’ of me
And those beautiful dark eyes, fall upon me
As times change,
I'll feel safe knowing you wont’ go away
I’ve been searchin for a place to go,
Somewhere to rest my head
Tired of being alone
And if theres room inside your head
Can’t I continue to rest mine there?
There is a story here, I feel it
A search for something real,
And I believe this
You found me on the ground,
Where I was bleedin’
but you came around
to pick me up, from bein’ broken
Cause' you are my reason why
Reason to Hope
Reason To Hope
I gave away more than I had
in the blinding cold, casket black
when the sun went down, never did return.
Like gasoline on an open flame,
light up so bright then burn away.
If I fall apart, look the other way...
When all the things I need, feel just like a dream
... And every breath I breathe, is so hard
Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope, A reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope
An it's hard to say times are bad
cause it's been much worse, and I know that
But from all I've seen, these days are awful hard
And the prays came slow for me at first,
then the dam broke down and the rivers surged
I am on my knees wondering what it's worthI gave away more than I had
in the blinding cold, casket black
when the sun went down, never did return.
Like gasoline on an open flame,
light up so bright then burn away.
If I fall apart, look the other way...
When all the things I need, feel just like a dream
... And every breath I breathe, is so hard
Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope, A reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope
An it's hard to say times are bad
cause it's been much worse, and I know that
But from all I've seen, these days are awful hard
And the prays came slow for me at first,
then the dam broke down and the rivers surged
And all things I need feel just like a dream
And so every breath I breathe is so hard
Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Somthing to believe in
I just want a reason to hope, a reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope
And I said hold up
It's alright if you don't see, open your eyes
If you fall down, I will pick you up
Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Somthing to believe in
I just want a reason to hope, a reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope
And I said hold up
It'a alright if you don't see open your eyes
If you fall down I will pick you up
