Remember

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

Cover my eyes

  • Dec. 8th, 2009 at 10:19 PM
SAD
No wonder I'm scared
To look in your eyes
You've turned me away 
So many times
You can take it away
At any given moment
It's hard to believe 
While you're in this disguise
 
So would you hold me please
I'm trying hard to breathe
I'm just surviving 
So would you hold me please
I'm trying hard to breathe
Stop me from crying
 
When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
(I have to cover my eyes)
Every time you leave with her
Something inside me dies
(Something inside of me dies)
 
No wonder it hurts
To sit by your side
(Turned me away so many times)
There's a different song 
I can play you tonight
(We don't have to sit here in silence)
We can break the pattern
We can change the colour
(It's just a little sacrifice)
You don't need to worry about the others
(It's all in your mind)
 
So would you hold me please
I'm trying hard to breathe
I'm just surviving 
So would you hold me please
I'm trying hard to breathe
Stop me from crying
 
When I see you walking with her
I have to cover my eyes
(I have to cover my eyes)
Every time you leave with her
Something inside me dies
(Something inside of me dies)

Dismantle. Repair.

Frazzled
Hands, like secrets, are the hardest thing to keep from you
Lines and phrases, like knives, your words can cut me through

It's not that I keep hanging on
I'm never letting go

You dismantle me

Undisclosed Desires

  • Sep. 14th, 2009 at 8:21 PM
Frazzled
I know you suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied

Soothe me
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You trick your lovers that you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty is not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Into My Arms

  • May. 31st, 2009 at 7:27 PM
Troubled
You are having the time of your life; you are having the time of your life
You miss me, I miss you, the same as before
But I don’t love you, I don’t need you, the same as before
Cause I don’t wanna love you, the same as before
And I don’t wanna hurt you, the same as before
Into my arms, you’ll fall into my arms

You are breaking this heart, oh you know, you are breaking this heart, oh you know
You miss me, I miss you, the same as before
But I don’t love you, I don’t need you, the same as before
Cause I don’t wanna love you, the same as before
And I don’t wanna hurt you the same as before
Into my arms, you’ll fall into my arms
You’re in my mind, my mind, you’re in my mind, my mind, my mind.

hopeful
Do you remember when we were just kids
And cardboard boxes took us miles from what we would miss
Schoolyard conversations taken to heart
And laughter took the place of everything we knew we were not

I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again
We could stay in this moment (stay in this moment)
For the rest of our lives
Is it over now hey, hey, is it over now

I wanna be your last, first kiss
That you'll ever have
I wanna be your last, first kiss

Amazing how life turns out the way that it does
We end up hurting the worst, the only ones we really love

I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again
We could stay in this moment (stay in this moment)
For the rest of our lives
Is it over now hey, hey, is it over now

I wanna be your last, first kiss
That you'll ever have
I wanna be your last, first kiss

Is it over now hey, hey, is it over now
Is it over how hey, hey, it's not over now

I wanna be your last, first kiss
That you'll ever have (that you'll ever have)
I wanna be your last, first love (that you'll ever have)
Till you're lying here beside me with arms and eyes open wide
I wanna be your last, first kiss for all time

Too Little Too Late

  • Aug. 26th, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Troubled
Come with me
Stay the night
You say the words but boy it don't feel right
What do ya expect me to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You take my hand
And you say you've changed
But boy you know your begging don't fool me
Because to you it's just a game (You know it's just too little too late)

So let me on down
'Cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
Your chance has come and gone
And you know...

It's just too little too late
a little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

I was young
And in love
I gave you everything
But it wasn't enough
And now you wanna communicate (You know it's just too little too late)
Go find someone else
In letting you go
I'm loving myself
You got a problem
But don't come asking me for help
'Cause you know...

It's just too little too late
a little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

I can love with all of my heart, baby
I know I have so much to give (I have so much to give)
With a player like you I don't have a prayer
That's no way to live
It's just too little too late

It's just too little too late
a little too wrong
And I can't wait
But you know all the right things to say (You know it's just too little too late)
You say you dream of my face
But you don't like me
You just like the chase
To be real
It doesn't matter anyway (You know it's just too little too late)

SAD
How did you get this number?
I can't get my head 'round you
Of course you're not coming over
Snap out of it
You're not making any sense

You couldn't be more wrong, darling
I never gave out these signs
You misunderstand all meaning
Snap out of it
I'm not falling for this one

If love is surrender
Then whose war is it anyway?

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two

If you think that it's so damn easy
Then what do you need me for?
Just look at the state of you
Babe, snap out of it
You're not listening to this

And just for once could you
Let me finish my sentence?

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two

Make no sudden movements
And no one will get hurt
You're not coming over
If you know what's good for me
Why would I be leaving you?

Now, I've had it up to here
Don't ever try that again
Why are you so quiet so suddenly?
Go on, have it
You're just dying to try me

Do just what I tell you
And no one will get hurt
Don't come any closer
'Cause I dunno how long I can hold my heart in two

So, what do we do now?
What do we do now?
What do we do now?
What do we do now?

Troubled

She had something to confess to
But you don’t have the time so
Look the other way
You will wait until it's over
To reveal what you’d never shown her
Too little much too late

Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I’ll do it on my own

I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I’ve made a big mistake
Too long trying to resist it
You’ve just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world

Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I’ll do it on my own
I’ll do it on my own

Leaving so soon?

  • Jul. 22nd, 2008 at 8:48 PM
Frazzled

You must think I'm a fool
So prosaic and awkward and all
D'you think you've got me down?
D'you think I've never been out of this town?

Do I seem too eager to please to you now?
You don't know me at all
I can't turn it on, turn off like you now
I'm not like you now

Now that you're here
I bet you're wishing you could disappear
I'm trying to be kind
I get the feeling you're just killing time

You look down on me
Don't you look down on me now
You don't know me at all
A slap in the face
In the face for you now
Just might do now

You're leaving so soon
Never had a chance to bloom
But you were so quick
To change your tune
Don't look back
If I'm a weight around your neck
Cos if you don't need me
I don't need you 

Leaving so soon, soon.
Leaving, leaving so, soon.

You're leaving so soon.
Never had a chance to bloom,
But you were so quick
To change your tune
Don't look back
If I'm a weight around your neck
Cos if you don't need me
Then I don't need you

The Loneliness of Artists

  • Jul. 7th, 2008 at 8:55 PM
intrigued

It is at times exactly what we need - some time for ourselves, some time for introversion and contemplation that leaves the whole world out. But other times, this loneliness is creeping under our skin and makes us feel secluded in the dark and we want to get away.

This is how the artist soul works. There are no rules. We need to be alone to create, but we also need external reassurance and encouragement. We need to know that we are valued, and understood.

This kind of duality can drive the people around us crazy. They don't know when to come in and get closer, and when to step back. They need to tread so gently, but for the rational ones, treading gently is almost not an option. So they sometimes step on our toes, or stay away when we need them close. I guess, that's just the way it is.

Love Song

  • Jul. 6th, 2008 at 10:07 PM
Heart Broken
Head under water
And you tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
Made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands

I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or break in this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today

Try

  • Jun. 16th, 2008 at 12:12 AM
Heart Broken
All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
but the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try

I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn, the more I learn
The more I cry, the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try

All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

How do I deal?

  • Jun. 2nd, 2008 at 1:12 PM
intrigued

Every day I wake up to another day gone by
Nothing but the open road and the never-ending why
Anything can happen, yeah, but nothin ever does
I try to change, it's kinda strange, the same as it ever was, but look at us

How do I deal with you
How do I deal with me
When I don't even know myself
Or what it is you want from me
How do I deal with us
How do I know what's real
When I don't even trust myself
Or what it is I feel
And how do I deal

Every night, in the dark, I lie awake in bed
How am I supposed to dream, with all the static in my head
I turn in all directions and I pray for some relief
What can I do but feel the weight I'm underneath
And grit my teeth

How do I deal with you
How do I deal with me
When I don't even know myself
Or what it is you want from me
How do I deal with love
(Why do I) Why do I have to choose
And everybody's tellin me
What the hell I have to do
And how do I deal with us
How do I know what's real 
When I don't even trust myself
Or what it is I feel
Now how do I deal

How do I deal with you (How do I deal with you)
How do I deal with me
When I don't even know myself
Or what it is you want from me
How do I deal with love (How do I deal)
Why do I have to choose
When everybody's tellin me
What the hell I have to do
How do I deal with you (How do I deal with you)
How do I deal with me (How do I deal with me)
When I don't even know myself
Or what it is you want from me
How do I deal with us (How do I know what's real)
How do I know what's real
When I don't even trust myself
Or what it is I feel

No Will Power

  • May. 19th, 2008 at 10:33 PM
shocked
I see you through the clouds
Of a smoky room
And my strength to walk away
Is consumed
 
Cause I have no will power when it comes to you
When it comes to you I am always in the mood
 
You know the rules
Don’t look at me that way
My will won’t let you in this time
My face won’t let me smile
My feet won’t let me stay
 
But I have no will power when it comes to you
When it comes to you I am always in the mood
 
And I remember too well
How good your fingers feel
Moving across my back
The scar, tattoed
You say it stands for me
Your warm breath
When your face is buried in my neck
And I could fight it but what for?
I know I’ll end the night with you
On your apartment floor
 
Cause I have no will power when it comes to you
When it comes to you I am always in the mood
 
Yeah I have no will power when it comes to you
When it comes to you I am always in the mood
 
Yeah have no will power
When it comes to you, when it comes to you
And when it comes to you I am always in the mood.

This Unavoidable Thing Between Us

  • May. 16th, 2008 at 8:33 PM
Heart Broken
Between us I feel this undeniable thing
Between us so real this unavoidable thing
Between us I see this undefinable thing, between us

Everytime you say the words it's real
And everytime you say the words, I feel

The night is long today, my love for you has changed
The night is long today, a hope has been replaced, a little

When we walk away, we only grow more near
When we turn away, it all becomes so clear
This unavoidable thing, joining us

Everytime you say the words it's real
And everytime you say the words, I feel

The night is long today, my love for you has changed
The night is long today, a hope has been replaced
All the steps we take, the ones that lead away, a little

A little too late, a little too soon, a little
To give a little, to take a little, to lose a little
To find a little, to die a little, to live a little

And it won't be long
And it won't be long
And it won't be long
And it won't be long
And it won't be long
'Cause it's falling down, and I'll take you there...

Light Surrounding You

  • May. 14th, 2008 at 9:21 AM
Troubled
I see you by the water
Your toes dipped in the sand
I thought that it was over
I thought you'd understand
But the feeling is returning
Though time has made us change
And I understand if you don't
Wanna talk to me about it
Tonight
Oh, tonight

Cos I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new

Time was overtaking me
And I guess I was confused
They were all inviting me
But I wish I had refused
Cos I'd been there before
And I've seen it all
And I believe in you

And if you never had my heart
I would've never called you back
At the start that night
And I want you to know

That I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
Cos I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of what you're turning into

Blue-eyed sun shines on me
In the morning
Can't help but feel a little cold
Thinking of you

Cos I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
Cos I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of what you're turning into
No, don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
Cos I see the light
Cos I see the light
Cos I see the light surrounding you

We could still belong together

  • May. 6th, 2008 at 8:13 PM
hopeful
If I hold my breath
If I shut my eyes
If I disappear
Just for the afternoon

If I can't help shouting
If I lock you out
If it's not important
Completely unimportant
To anyone else but me


We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow

If I interrupt and
If I cut you off and
If I like attention
Other worse things I could mention


We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow

But if you make a mistake
We're through

We could still belong together
And together is much better
We're okay so hey don't worry now
Oh wow

Oh wow.

Yes, I complicate, I know
It's just my way but
If is a question
That I ask and nothing more.

I Stand Corrected

  • Apr. 26th, 2008 at 1:57 PM
shocked
You've been checking on my facts
And I admit I have been lax
In double-screening what I say
It wasn't funny anyway

I stand corrected

No one cares when you are wrong
But I've been at this far too long
To act like that when we should be
In perfect harmony

I stand corrected

Lord knows I haven't tried
I'll take my stand
One last time

Forget the protocol
I'll take your hand
Right in mine
hopeful
Have a cup of tea to pass the time
It doesn't pass enough so I have nine
And everything to do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And it's 'cause secretly I know
I'll be home soon
But that's true

Have another cup to celebrate
It doesn't cheer me up so I have eight
Put my stuff in the washing machine
And you know when it goes in dirty
It comes out clean
There's not much on the TV this afternoon
Except Boone

In my room there's not a lot to do
So if I let you in please don't touch anything
And in my room there isn't much to do
So if I let you in
Don't touch a thing

And everything to do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And you know nothing in this world compares to you
And there is nothing left for you outside this room

And it's like everything you do is done for you
And there is nothing left for me outside this room
And you know nothing in this world compares to you
And there is nothing left for you outside this room

La la la, la la la la la, la la la...

Love song

  • Apr. 20th, 2008 at 11:39 PM
intrigued
Put away your tears and your sleepy eyes
Put away that bullshit, big boys they don't cry to their mama's
She'll be back soon
Put away your raincoat and make your bed
Take another bullet right to your head
We're going on a picnic and we'll get there soon

She says, 'maybe it's over'
He says, "there's plenty more fish in the sea.'
I say, 'don't go away from me.'

Put away your dinner and have a snack
Tie your little brother up in a sack now
We're moving to the country and we'll get there soon (she says)

Pack up all the things that you don't deserve
Take another swing, here comes a curve ball
I bet you can't hit it cause you'll swing to soon

She says, 'maybe it's over.'
He says, ' there's plenty more fish in the sea.'
I say,  'don't go away,
Don't go away
Please don't go away from me.'

Take those damn pictures off that shelf
Put away your mommy you don't need her
I found you a new one, she'll be here soon

She says, 'my God it's over.'
He says, ' I found another fish in the sea.'
I say, 'why me?
Why me?
Why me?
Why is it me? '
