Seeing Things

Wednesday, July 13th, 2011

when i hear the stories that you tell
it’s make believe i know it
if i could only live inside your world
it’s different there i know it
it’s so hard to keep from falling down
you can always trust yourself
you’re seeing things not all there
you’re seeing things
every time i look into your eyes

Radioactivated

getting too late
nothing can wait
pick up the pace
the clock is ticking
losing this race
feeling like a waste
taking up space
my brain is sticking

the pressure抯 building up in here
if i were you i抎 just stand clear
in the red zone
like a cyclone
ready to blow
overload

Strange Lightning

Monday, November 29th, 2010

The rain taps on the window down the hall
there’s no one out there nothing at all
reaching out strange lightning from above
looking up nothing to be scared of

take away the wonder
take away the world
you better not forget

it’s quiet now the wind begins to slow
someone’s standing there please...

Gun

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

I was alone and frightened
Until you came along
I was afraid of everyone
You showed me I was wrong
You came into my life
And helped me take a stand
I feel so whole inside now
Come and take my hand
You belong to me
You can never leave
I’ll show you off to my friends
You see they’re so impressed

Nothing’s Real

Monday, July 12th, 2010

It was yesterday when you stopped by
And you looked as if you had no cares at all
But behind those eyes
And a fragile smile
You said good-bye
Nothing’s real anyway
When people move so fast
You’re standing back
You can’t pretend
You’re part of the scene
You’re just caving in
And...

One Hundred Days

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

one hundred days in dessert sand
a drifter in no-man’s land
following someone else’s caravan

I roam like a nomad since I left
soaking in solitude
I can go without water but not without you

100 200 300 days since I saw you
100 200 more It’s up to you to rescue me
100 200 300 days since I saw you
100...

Rut

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

I can’t complain
about this rut I’m in
day after day
these same walls I kick in
rip out my hair
what’s so unfair

bent out of shape
underestimate what I can take
it’s easier to just break down
when you’re not around anymore

woe is me,
I just can’t win
