Risky
I want to pull you out, save you
but you're too heavy
and I'm too weak
and I don't want to fall in again
too
it's risky
I'll stick around your lonely soul
but I can't jump down to join you
or else we'll both be ruined
and that would wreck you even more
but you're too heavy
and I'm too weak
and I don't want to fall in again
too
it's risky
I'll stick around your lonely soul
but I can't jump down to join you
or else we'll both be ruined
and that would wreck you even more

Driving
quiet night
she turns the key
engine sputters, headlights bright
hope nobody wakes up
and she's gone - highway speeding
cruising up the coast
further and further she goes
hair flying free
stress left behind in the
dust, rolling over time
she drives - no regret
she drives, doesn't stop
'til the gas runs low
no money, no
plan or place to go
so she calls home
she turns the key
engine sputters, headlights bright
hope nobody wakes up
and she's gone - highway speeding
cruising up the coast
further and further she goes
hair flying free
stress left behind in the
dust, rolling over time
she drives - no regret
she drives, doesn't stop
'til the gas runs low
no money, no
plan or place to go
so she calls home

woven into her memories
she remembers
whispering from her toddler bed
nightlight on--
he tiptoes
checking down the hall, then
flashlights under covers,
dancing stuffed animals,
and sucking thumbs
she remembers
fighting over hotwheels,
screaming and fits
when she didn't get her way
toys left on the floor
fights forgotten
biking with him outside
until dark
then sitting through dreaded dinners
gagging at each other
making faces
behind the parents' backs...
whispering from her toddler bed
nightlight on--
he tiptoes
checking down the hall, then
flashlights under covers,
dancing stuffed animals,
and sucking thumbs
she remembers
fighting over hotwheels,
screaming and fits
when she didn't get her way
toys left on the floor
fights forgotten
biking with him outside
until dark
then sitting through dreaded dinners
gagging at each other
making faces
behind the parents' backs...

unoriginal
everyone's just like everyone else in a way,
faces blurred into one solid mass moving together.
unique they say, but can't remember your name
not special, not different
no better, no worse
maybe art is us trying to be something
to stand out
even if only to ourselves
faces blurred into one solid mass moving together.
unique they say, but can't remember your name
not special, not different
no better, no worse
maybe art is us trying to be something
to stand out
even if only to ourselves

Waiting
I'm waiting
waiting
for... something
I'm waiting
and waiting
still waiting
What am I waiting for?
How much longer?
I'll patiently wait for the answers
...
...
...
Nothing ever came
and I died where I stood
still waiting
waiting
for... something
I'm waiting
and waiting
still waiting
What am I waiting for?
How much longer?
I'll patiently wait for the answers
...

...
Nothing ever came
and I died where I stood
still waiting

No Feeling
no smile
no tears
no feeling
get away
leave me here
staring at the ceiling
thoughts vile
heartbeat slow
mind reeling
endless day
locked alone
no healing
no tears
no feeling
get away
leave me here
staring at the ceiling
thoughts vile
heartbeat slow
mind reeling
endless day
locked alone
no healing

Skin Deep
these red lines
only skin deep
do not define
any part of me
you see
catch a glimpse
you pry
with ignorance
your assumptions
out of place
invading in
my personal space
my past is done
not on display
cast behind me
thrown away
I don't ask
about your fails
or keep in mind
dirty details
yet mine
are written
and yours
are hidden
so you think
it's alright
to label me
on sight
concerned eyes ...
only skin deep

Drama
up
down
crashing
around
flying
up
falling
down
no prediction
every direction
dropping deep
resurrection
spinning nonstop
feeling dizzy
constant motion
no remedy
no highs
without lows
closeness craved
always goes
inevitable
unique ride
two-person seat
side by side
trouble stirs
tiring times
exhaustion
fading lines
holding hands
pulling through
staying strong
to stay...
down
crashing
around
flying
up
falling
down
no prediction
every direction
dropping deep

spinning nonstop

two-person seat

fading lines
holding hands

No End
There's no end
to how far you can go
There's no end
to how deep you can sink
There's no end
to how much you can stray
You just get further
and further
away
There's no time
when you can't look back
There's no time
when it's too late to turn 'round
There's no time
when you've gone too far
take it step
by step
and come closer again
to how far you can go
There's no end
to how deep you can sink
There's no end
to how much you can stray
You just get further
and further
away
There's no time
when you can't look back
There's no time
when it's too late to turn 'round
There's no time
when you've gone too far
take it step
by step
and come closer again

Nightmares
wolves leapt
from the record cover
straight into his dreams
to teach him not to trust
appearances
-
unzip your skin
little boy
maybe you're
one of us
too
-
a witch lived
under her bed at night
striped socks sticking out
pulling back only when
she looked
-
there's no place like home
little girl
maybe I'm the good witch
and you're
the evil one
from the record cover
straight into his dreams
to teach him not to trust
appearances
-
unzip your skin
little boy
maybe you're
one of us
too
-
a witch lived
under her bed at night
striped socks sticking out
pulling back only when
she looked
-
there's no place like home
little girl
maybe I'm the good witch
and you're
the evil one

Stranger
I was pretty lost when I stumbled on you
Scouring those thistle-filled grounds for nonexistent answers
Finding instead, a thoughtful stranger.
I don't plan on going back,
But if I reappear in that horrible place
I'll go looking for you, so I won't be alone
Scouring those thistle-filled grounds for nonexistent answers
Finding instead, a thoughtful stranger.
I don't plan on going back,
But if I reappear in that horrible place
I'll go looking for you, so I won't be alone

Wash Away
Some mornings I wake up
to a soft Pitter-Patter outside my window.
I lay in bed listening to the rain
waiting for it to wash away
everything sad in the world
But it never does.
Some rare nights,
When the world is wet and cloudy,
I sit in the cold, feeling the rain
Pitter-Patter on my head
Hoping it will wash me away
But it never does.
When I hear the Boom-Boom from the sky
I think of God's anger at the world,
His teardrops pouring down, thunder crying out,
All...
to a soft Pitter-Patter outside my window.
I lay in bed listening to the rain
waiting for it to wash away
everything sad in the world
But it never does.
Some rare nights,
When the world is wet and cloudy,
I sit in the cold, feeling the rain
Pitter-Patter on my head
Hoping it will wash me away
But it never does.
When I hear the Boom-Boom from the sky
I think of God's anger at the world,
His teardrops pouring down, thunder crying out,
All...
