School Bus Days
I miss those school bus days
When nothing seemed to matter.
The days moved fast
And leaves changed time.
The chill of winter left me cold
But spring brought life
To my dreams again.
I grew to know the smell
Of summertime beneath my toes.
But every year before I could blink
The bus stop would come calling
And I would head out laughing
Without a care in the world.
Oh how I miss
Those school bus days.
When nothing seemed to matter.
The days moved fast
And leaves changed time.
The chill of winter left me cold
But spring brought life
To my dreams again.
I grew to know the smell
Of summertime beneath my toes.
But every year before I could blink
The bus stop would come calling
And I would head out laughing
Without a care in the world.
Oh how I miss
Those school bus days.

Wrong
I keep waiting on a call
To prove your love
And give me one more chance.
Every promise ever made gone,
Like it never was.
Made a mistake
Now there's a price to pay.
If I'd seen this coming
I would've stopped myself
From testing waters
To start a fight.
Now I've got one
And it's not the one I wanted
Not the ending I'd planned.
From loving though the night
To fighting through the morning.
Now I'm all alone
Left to my tears and pain
It's not that you don't care
It's just that I've burned you
For the very last time....
To prove your love
And give me one more chance.
Every promise ever made gone,
Like it never was.
Made a mistake
Now there's a price to pay.
If I'd seen this coming
I would've stopped myself
From testing waters
To start a fight.
Now I've got one
And it's not the one I wanted
Not the ending I'd planned.
From loving though the night
To fighting through the morning.
Now I'm all alone
Left to my tears and pain
It's not that you don't care
It's just that I've burned you
For the very last time....

Perfection Imperfected
I changed my hair
And changed my clothes.
Shed my beliefs
And swallowed my pride.
Who I was, what I stood for
I hid down deep
In an attempt
To be your everything.
But I found a light
A shining angel
Who showed me
What I'd forgotten.
Now I've found my voice again
So I break these chains
That hold your beautiful image
In blinding place
And I shatter
The image you made of me.
As my perfect imperfections
Shimmer on the ground.
I take a step forward
And spare...
And changed my clothes.
Shed my beliefs
And swallowed my pride.
Who I was, what I stood for
I hid down deep
In an attempt
To be your everything.
But I found a light
A shining angel
Who showed me
What I'd forgotten.
Now I've found my voice again
So I break these chains
That hold your beautiful image
In blinding place
And I shatter
The image you made of me.
As my perfect imperfections
Shimmer on the ground.
I take a step forward

Flip Side
There’s a face
Behind every hug and tear.
A twinge
Behind every lie.
A reason
Behind every break-up.
And more than a few regrets
Behind every heartbreak.
But the wonderful thing is
When the smiles
Make you so happy you cry.
And his hugs
Heal your heart.
And you know
That he’ll never
Be a regret.
Behind every hug and tear.
A twinge
Behind every lie.
A reason
Behind every break-up.
And more than a few regrets
Behind every heartbreak.
But the wonderful thing is
When the smiles
Make you so happy you cry.
And his hugs
Heal your heart.
And you know
That he’ll never
Be a regret.

Taken
You can take my memories
And you can take my faith.
Tear away everything that is good
And rip the light from my eyes.
Deplete my strength
And leave me weak with despair.
Force me to my knees
And make the tears bleed.
Push aside my angels
And shake all I know.
But you can never take
My ability to heal
And rise stronger.
That’s the one thing
You never considered.
You’re arrogance
Turned into my ally,
Became my one salvation.
And you can take my faith.
Tear away everything that is good
And rip the light from my eyes.
Deplete my strength
And leave me weak with despair.
Force me to my knees
And make the tears bleed.
Push aside my angels
And shake all I know.
But you can never take
My ability to heal
And rise stronger.
That’s the one thing
You never considered.
You’re arrogance
Turned into my ally,
Became my one salvation.

Now And Again
Every now and again
You slip into my thoughts
And I wanna call you up
Just to see how things are going
Wonder if you’re okay
If this is everything you wanted
Every now and again
I think I hear your voice
When there’s no one there
A shiver runs down me
And I hope that means somewhere
You’re sparing a moment to think
Of me in return
Every know and again
I miss you but I’d never
Trade my memories
No regrets because
For a few sweet minutes
You were mine
That was everything to me
Every now and again...
You slip into my thoughts
And I wanna call you up
Just to see how things are going
Wonder if you’re okay
If this is everything you wanted
Every now and again
I think I hear your voice
When there’s no one there
A shiver runs down me
And I hope that means somewhere
You’re sparing a moment to think
Of me in return
Every know and again
I miss you but I’d never
Trade my memories
No regrets because
For a few sweet minutes
You were mine
That was everything to me
Every now and again...

Circus Games
You think you've got this all figured out
You know just what to do
You're gonna play your cards
Stack them up and lay them down.
You'll take a chance
A well placed gamble
And you'll juggle all the lies and deciet
Whatever you have to do
To feed your delusions.
But at some point the knives, the lies,
Slip and you begin to fall
From high on the tightwire of power.
In that circus you were king
But this is my circus
Now I'm center ring
And when you fall there's no net to catch you
Because your net of lies have all...
You know just what to do

Weathering Passions
Rain dances
On Saturday nights
Find me happy
On Sunday mornings.
Streaks of lightening
Flash across the grey,
Jagged swirls of beauty.
I run to their calls,
Twirling faster
Until I fall.
That cleansing sensation,
Embodied invincibility.
With every graceful rotation
Worries fall
And my mind is cleansed.
The steady beats of toes
On impressionable ground,
Tenured against thunder.
Calm fills at its adoration.
The way it curls my hair,
Tears melded singularly
Washed softly away.
Moments of vulnerability,
No...

Traveler
Just about that time again
When the city sleeps
AndI grow restless.
This room always feels
A little too crowded
Filled only with silent thoughts.
I hit the streets
Walking past the ghosts
That haunt the sleeping.
Out at night to stake out
The best shadows to hide in
When the sun rolls 'round.
Find myself a little shy
Of the moon's doorstep
Which suits me fine.
Up among the stars,
Wishes from below,
Is too bright for my liking.
Finally come across the Sandman
And after a short talk
He...
When the city sleeps
AndI grow restless.
This room always feels
A little too crowded
Filled only with silent thoughts.
I hit the streets
Walking past the ghosts
That haunt the sleeping.
Out at night to stake out
The best shadows to hide in
When the sun rolls 'round.
Find myself a little shy
Of the moon's doorstep
Which suits me fine.
Up among the stars,
Wishes from below,
Is too bright for my liking.
Finally come across the Sandman

Self Reflection
I feel like I've been here before
I've seen your face, in a forgotten memory.
Weren't you there the day I lost my faith?
The day I forgot who I was?
I could have sworn that was you
...no, of couse not, silly me.
You'd never understand the shadows
You could never understand my pain.
Impossible that it would be you.
Just a memory.
This side of the mirror is me now.
The girl I see in you
...she died quite some time ago.
Love, faith, blinding trust
Have all been lost to me.
I know you are real
But for someone...
I've seen your face, in a forgotten memory.
Weren't you there the day I lost my faith?
The day I forgot who I was?
I could have sworn that was you
...no, of couse not, silly me.
You'd never understand the shadows
You could never understand my pain.
Impossible that it would be you.
Just a memory.
This side of the mirror is me now.

...she died quite some time ago.

Have all been lost to me.

Spring Days
Eyes closed
Senses open,
I smell the rain
as it comes pouring in.
I take one step,
Then back
As soft drops hit my nose.
A bristled coolness
Brushes my legs.
Storming winds jeer
Silent rustles beg.
A spot of moisture
Rolling to my lip,
The taste of crystals.
Teasing promises
And invisible dreams.
Senses open,

A spot of moisture
Rolling to my lip,
The taste of crystals.
Teasing promises

Unfaltering
I spend my days looking for love
And always end up finding
Regret and dissapointment.
But I look anyway
Without ever faltering
Because I know that when I do
Love will finally sneak in
Tosweep me off my feet.
And that's the last thing I want.
And always end up finding
Regret and dissapointment.
But I look anyway
Without ever faltering
Because I know that when I do
Love will finally sneak in
Tosweep me off my feet.
And that's the last thing I want.
