Birds

When I lie down at night
I close my eyes real tight
In my dreams I'll make peace
With my fair-weathered friends

Fair-well Fair-weather
In the good times
I'll be seeing you
In the morning I'll be seeing you again.

Take shelter
bad weather won't treat you well
Find another place, call it home
In the winter I'll be missing you.
In the summer I'll be seeing you again


Fair-well Fair-weather
In the good times
I'll be seeing you
In the morning I'll be seeing you again

In the night an owl stole me away
I'm afraid I won't be seeing you again.

You Will Return To Me

I'm dissolving.
To precious things I'm indifferent.
Nothing seems too pressing.
Value must have lost it's place.
Textures, sights, smells, and sounds elicit no response.
My pulse has shied away,
that thumping beat no longer responds to what I've loved
Even sadness is an arms-length away
I'm vacant.
I don't know where I went, or for what cause,
I hope to return soon,
I wonder what stories I'll have to share.
I'm waiting.
Mindlessly and without passion
I must move forward
with the blind hope that I will return.
I have to do this for tomorrow's me.
I'll chase relentlessly
but it's hard to move in this lifeless world.
If I stop for a moment,
the further I'll find myself from where I am
I have to lift these weak bones,
to do things that are hard.
I promised myself that I will return.
Just give me some time I would say,
I'll follow through,
I will return to me.

Faithless

I used to sleep so beautifully at night
Nothing could break through my peace.
The flashing lights, and all the noise.
You'd think somebody was dead.
You might have thought I was dead.

In my old age I awake to find
that my good senses can't be drown
blinking lights and aching bones have my attention now
I can't help but to think there's something wrong
Am I broken? falling apart slowly?

Now I'll get lucky enough to fall into sleep
but I wake up out of these dreams
that turn my head into a cloud.
my mind remembers the places it went
and my body remembers the heaviness of air.

He leaked

I had a dream in my waking sleep
From the dark of my bathroom
The sirens were blaring and the lights were flashing
You heard the news and fell to the kitchen floor
"Hey, hey what's wrong," she would say
but sound couldn't reach you from that distance
You were already lost in a far off place, a place where I still belonged
The tears fell fast and hard as it became real, what you already knew
In my own wakeful sleeping sadness I could feel your sorrow
and all those words you wished that you could say.
She could feel, you would tell them; she was real.
You'd get up there and you would say:
Did you know, no, no I don't think you knew.
Her love was beautiful. Do you know about her words?
There's a beauty in her secrets you'd say.
And this time it would be you stealing my words.
You'd have to sing my song for me, for them
because it's something very few could do.

Jamais Vu, I Love You

I opened my doors to anyone: everyone.

Now I'm flooded to capacity, donno what I'm gonna do.

You see, all my lover's they are so star-crossed

They've got stars in their eyes, I've got stars in my eyes.

There's the safer bet, a bet I've never placed before

and then there's you, born on the 8th of September,

I'm sure we wouldn't last through November.

I know now that if I could have gone back

I'd have done it all over again, 

because I walked through the fire.

You? I'm sure you've never had me before

But me? I know your kind. 

We'll keep things simple

I'll promise you not to fall in love

You say you'll miss me, after you kiss me

This time there'll be no monologue,

There will be no haunting pictures of you. 

Disappear; and don't come back.
I guess I know I'd always have fought for you.

Carelessness

I don't play it cool
I just am
not cool, just me.

I can't let it be.
I'll fight for the sun
if it means killing the night.

indifference
atrophy of the heart.
IDGAF

you couldn't care less?
in our way we protect ourselves
from critical eyes that couldn't care less

chemical burn,
would you erase me
Just to delete the pain?

can we lift it?
we're all just breaking our backs
it wouldn't break my back
my failures and you're sorrows
aren't all that I can hold.

If love is really a battle
and you have to care less to win
then enjoy the victory;
I'm backing down
because I couldn't care less.

Sorry

The secrets we never tell ourselves
and the truths we can't seem to deny.

I have to keep myself from looking
Though, I'm curious;
I'm morbidly afraid.

I don't always ignore my problems

Just when they won't go away.

I try.

Every single day til I die?

Here for a lifetime 

and suddenly gone.

The end comes knocking our door. 

As if by surprise
though, we knew it all along;

That nothing will last forever

as long as we're still alive.

Sayin' sorry isn't gonna make us better. 

Sayin' sorry won't make me well.

I won't say I'm sorry cause it doesn't get better.

Could ya say I'm sorry, I'm not feeling so well.

Please tell me you're sorry, I think this time it'll make me better.
I'm sorry
