The Blood and Rain of Pennsylvania
In 1953 Heinsburg, Pennsylvania, a young girl played in the grass by the forest edge. The mother and father sat upon their porch swing at the front of the cottage, watching their child. Spontaneously, dark clouds covered the sky, yet the parents thought nothing of it, for rain was a common occurrence and never posed any danger to threaten their well-being. “Papa!” the young girl clamored,“ Papa!” At that moment the birds stopped chirping, the breeze stopped blowing, and the clouds lay still as a stone in the sky. Then a droplet landed before the small girl, yet it was no ordinary rain. More...

Love and goodbyes
What is love?
Many people ask
To answer that question is not an easy task
Is it as peaceful as a dove?
As easy as the breeze?
No its not
Its hard
Its brutal
It might make you cry
To be honest its different
For each and every person, but
Sometimes to truly love someone
You must be able to say goodbye
He asked her out for a whole year
Each and every day
Always hoping for what she'd say
Then she said yes and held no fear
Then that date, became another
The love came and knocked on the...

For now it hurts
Greif hurts
Jealousy hurts
Resentment hurts
Betrayal hurts
Loneliness hurts
The things that hurt can be mended
All those thoughts can be ended
It may seem like the end of time
Life may seem sour like a lime
Yes it's sour but also sweet
History will repeat
It won't be the last
But it won't be forever
Happiness can shine
And I can call it mine
Jealousy hurts
Resentment hurts
Betrayal hurts
Loneliness hurts

Yes it's sour but also sweet
History will repeat
It won't be the last
But it won't be forever
Happiness can shine
And I can call it mine

You
Your eyes are like an ocean
So crisp and so blue
You smile like the sun
Bright, you know it's true
So just let me say
I love you
So crisp and so blue
You smile like the sun
Bright, you know it's true
So just let me say
I love you

Not A Puppet
I dont care what you think of me
You cant tell me who Im meant to be
I don't care what you think of how I dress
Cause I ain't here to impress
And every once and a while
Your voices seem trapped in my head
I take my voice and I scream in my bed
I let it out
Let out all my anger
My pain and sorrow
Wont let it stay till tomorrow
Cause I ain't your puppet
And your not my puppet master
I wont dress just like you
I think glasses are cool
Dont know about ya
My hair ain't your length
But Im gonna stay...

Baby Its Cold Outside
I lay in my bed with no hope for any sleep. Tomorrow my baby is supposed to be born. If it is a boy it will be kept by the farmer and I will spend another year working as an unwilling servant spending long hours in the fields then folding Mr.Fare’s laundry. If it is a girl, my baby will be sold and I will be killed for a failure to have a boy child. The thought of escaping crosses my mind yet there's no point, for the tracker has been welded into my bloodstream. If I could run the chains of this flatbed I could cause a miscarry, but I could never do that for if my child is a boy it will live...

Stranger in the mirror
Have you hid in the shadows?
Been afraid for too long?
Never had the guts to sing your own song?
Does a stranger hide in the mirror for thee?
Well today's a new era
Turn around and see
Look in the mirror and determine who you want to be
Not like her
Not like him
With every thought to be like them
Your light inside will surely dim
So put on some new pants
Color your hair
Cause if you continue down this path of despair
To be like them, it will get you nowhere
So put on a smile
Let it stay for a while ...

Consequences will catch u
Hahahaha
You really things we're friends
After everything you did
I laugh in my head when you talk to me
You think that everything is as good as can be
But if I'm being honest
I don't like you at all
If I'm being honest I kind of hope you fall
You treated me like crap
Whispered things behind my back
You think Im in your trap
Hahahaha
Not at all
One day I'll get you back
But it won't be an emotional attack
On me this time
You ruined my 8th-grade year
You filled my days with terror and da fear ...

Should I stay or should I go
Im so lost
I dont even understand
Ive known you for so long
And you have never done something so wrong
So tell me what did I do
To deserve this pain that comes from you
I was just there
But now you wont talk to me anywhere
You were my friend and we talked almost every day
But what can say
That wont make you mad at me
When we talk your just judging me
You don't care about how I may be
Crying in the corner of my room
Stuck inside this box of doom
I don't even know what to do
With you ...

As
As the tides go high and low
As the rain comes and goes
As the Earth revolves around the sun
As the loaf of bread is almost done
As the lonely bird finds his mate
As the high school girl goes on her first date
As the world continues to be known
As we continue to explore the unknown
As we do
As we do
As we live, ask what is for you?
As the rain comes and goes
As the Earth revolves around the sun
As the loaf of bread is almost done
As the lonely bird finds his mate
As the high school girl goes on her first date
As the world continues to be known
As we continue to explore the unknown
As we do
As we do
As we live, ask what is for you?

The Caterpillar
I feel like a leaf
Being chewed away by stress
It comes to me and makes me such a mess
The caterpillar oh I hate
It makes me feel useless
Like I have no power
For all of me, it does devour
Being chewed away by stress
It comes to me and makes me such a mess
The caterpillar oh I hate
It makes me feel useless
Like I have no power
For all of me, it does devour

Fork in the road
I saw two roads
A fork in the road
One taken by most
The other not
I took the nonexistent one
Because my path starts with me
Not anyone else
Even the less traveled
I won't follow
At a fork in the road
A fork in the road
One taken by most
The other not
I took the nonexistent one
Because my path starts with me
Not anyone else
Even the less traveled
I won't follow
At a fork in the road
