Firefly
If you see my little firefly
ask her why she left so soon
when the green comes out in spring
will she come back around in June
If you see my little firefly
ask her why she had to go
her spark was a touch of magic
and I sure do miss it so
ask her why she left so soon
when the green comes out in spring
will she come back around in June
If you see my little firefly
ask her why she had to go
her spark was a touch of magic
and I sure do miss it so

Listen to me
Thank you
for listening
it's what I pay you for
being a therapist must be such a bore
but stay please, listen to me
I'll pay you even more
your silence is my reward

the female lead
write me into your story
the female lead
let me still your heart
from racing away
grant me the power
to heal your pain
write me into your story
happily ever after
until the end
let me be the female lead
again

let me still your heart
from racing away
grant me the power

write me into your story
happily ever after
until the end
let me be the female lead

I Broke My Momma's Back
I broke my momma's back
a million times I broke my momma's back
one crack, two crack, three crack, four
every crack on every sidewalk
I jumped on them
and then more
I found my momma one day
bent over and cryin'
and I said
that's what you get momma
for all those years of lyin'
a million times I broke my momma's back
one crack, two crack, three crack, four
every crack on every sidewalk
I jumped on them
and then more
I found my momma one day
bent over and cryin'
and I said
that's what you get momma
for all those years of lyin'

The Ugly Inside
There is something very ugly inside me
something that doesn't let me believe
when the sun shines it covers me in shade
when colours are vibrant I see only grey
there's a blanket of joy hovering near reach
but I've covered myself in pain
and I want to feel and see beauty
something that doesn't let me believe
when the sun shines it covers me in shade
when colours are vibrant I see only grey
there's a blanket of joy hovering near reach
but I've covered myself in pain
and I want to feel and see beauty

All out of Love Poems
I'm all out of love poems
Fucked them all away when I thought
That was the way
Confusing sex with the pain
That was love
Fucked them all away when I thought
That was the way
Confusing sex with the pain
That was love

Lost to Me
Ugly disorderly things
they convolute my thoughts
boom go the drums
war is near
I will fight this time
the tortured thoughts
within my mind
see me cry
here me cry
I lost my love in the blink of an eye
somewhere lost behind closed eyes
and I close my eyes trying to find him
in the dark of my mind
but I have run out of time
he is lost yet so near
they convolute my thoughts
boom go the drums
war is near
I will fight this time
the tortured thoughts
within my mind
see me cry
here me cry
I lost my love in the blink of an eye
somewhere lost behind closed eyes
and I close my eyes trying to find him
in the dark of my mind
but I have run out of time
he is lost yet so near

Cut deep
Ever so slowly, simmering
my pain, warmed by the tears shed
touching the ground as they fall like delicate pearls
that burst on blades on grass
smoothly sliced in two, as was my heart
bleeding every drop of love that once filled me
for you
my pain, warmed by the tears shed
touching the ground as they fall like delicate pearls
that burst on blades on grass
smoothly sliced in two, as was my heart
bleeding every drop of love that once filled me
for you

crush me
crush me
with the force of all your hate
every word batters and bruises
splatters of purple upon my heart
and still i shine
behind these eyes
with the force of all your hate
every word batters and bruises
splatters of purple upon my heart
and still i shine
behind these eyes
