stand-out
I wanna be different
I wanna stand out!
I wanna be honest
before I pass out
I'm over the limit
I know when to say when
So hold on for a minuet;
While I say it again
I wanna be different
I wanna stand out!
I want you to hear me
without having to SHOUT
Oh, won't you stay near me
& not wonder about
Just for a second;
while I...
I wanna stand out!

x-ray
We're all counting
Down
because they say: It's the end
The skies are falling
Down
because we choose to pretend
No more electric sound
or tattoos on the mend
No one is around
Yet,
I have a message to send
I'm a lunatic!
Don't leave me alone
Because to you; I am sick
with an illness unknown
There's no cure for me
I'm ahead of my time
While you can only see
what's in front of your mind ...

The door opens
No one is home
I hide in my room
because
I want to be alone
Hear the love
Listen to it leave
Know what is real
Watch it go away
Breathe:
Shed fake tears
Listen to tongues
explaining the truth
Await the presentation
Breathe:
Candles for prayers
Answers for questions
What needs to be?
How can this change?
Drink;
Taste the flavor ...

inter-twine
I bare the cloak of my shadow
though; I do not live with his shame
I bare the cloak of my shadow
though; I do not move with his name
Discontinued at one end
then in comes
the screaming
Peeling all over
& I don't believe
that I'm dreaming
Your calling to cancel
but I need the attention
Tripping over my toe's
as if I needed to mention
I've spread myself thin...
though; I do not live with his shame
I bare the cloak of my shadow

Discontinued at one end

Peeling all over
& I don't believe

manic
Short of breath
I tremble with affection
Drowning in the rivers
which flow
from your mind
I feel myself slipping
Drawn by this current
Rescued from the island
that is my security
My lyfe seems so simple
as I listen to the waves
Describe these details
which separate our course
Unsure of my independence
this recollection evades me
Hidden by hearts
that beat their own drums
I have...

Blossom
This chain of flowers
Dangles
over the breast
of an empathetic culture
Endowing their glory
On the wings
of everlasting compassion
Resurrecting
visionary assumptions
of an antiquated symbol
Conquering independently
the convictions of a
chaotic transition
This presence of sensitivity
Continues
to ornate the outer image
of an otherwise;
Obscure notion
behind the formal truth...

Fade
I'm numb to the World
Encased by your love
I can't seem to focus;
It's you I'm thinking of
I've moved on without you
though I'm still tied up
In your dreams
I can't forget about you
but you're too far
to hear me scream
CHORUS:
Fade away, fade away
fade away from me
Fade into black
fade away from me
The lights have gone dim
but I still feel the burn ...
Encased by your love
I can't seem to focus;
It's you I'm thinking of
I've moved on without you
though I'm still tied up
In your dreams
I can't forget about you
but you're too far
to hear me scream
CHORUS:
Fade away, fade away
fade away from me
Fade into black
fade away from me
The lights have gone dim

Falling Sky
I'm trying hard to see
but I just don't get you
You wanna be with me
but your ego won't let you
We never can agree
I only upset you
Now, I wanna flee
I wish I never met you
CHORUS:
Alright, alright; This ride sucks anyway
Alright, alright; It's bound to sink any day
Alright, alright; Try to take the pain away
Alright, alright; Save it for a rainy day
I know I shouldn't call you
I'm such a mess without you
I know I shouldn't stall you ...
but I just don't get you
You wanna be with me
but your ego won't let you
We never can agree
I only upset you
Now, I wanna flee
I wish I never met you
CHORUS:
Alright, alright; This ride sucks anyway
Alright, alright; It's bound to sink any day

Drug:
A metaphor
for needful things
Valued for their power
& the illusions they bring
Swallow your pride
along with a dose
&
It gives new meaning
to a turned up nose
Shaking all the while
We question the validity
Denying any notion
that we are the epitome
Of all that is wrong
All that is unknown
We are of one culture
though we feel ...

Broken Arrow
A 'broken arrow'
Is a beautiful thing
It could fly off the handle
& make freedom ring
A broken arrow
Is a beautiful thing
It takes two to tango
& make freedom sing
I am a broken arrow
I can't do a thing
About the bird's & the bee's
always making me sting
I am a broken arrow
but your forgetting one thing
If you wanted me grounded
You should have broken my wing
Now;
I am a broken arrow
You can't do...

mistaken
I miss you now
more
than ever before
I continue to dream
that you'll walk
thru my door
Rescuing me
from
who I've become
Saving my soul
before it goes numb
For,
I barely remember
how
I used to be
Before I surrendered
my right to be
free
Now,
Someone familiar
who
fits in my clothes
has stolen my identity
& ...
