water can be rain
that falls from the sky
untroubled and true
water can be tears
that fall from my eyes
over-wrought and rude
water can calm me
with gentle waves
free and blue
water can kill me
with pounding graves
coarse and new
water surrounds me
inside and out
keeping me alive
one day it will cover me
from ground to sky
with no reason why
except to see me die
(bye)
1)
i remember when
flying high held horror dreams
now i long for air
2)
to get where you want
you have to let go of self
soar within the clouds
3)
blue tracing the sky
holding on as spirit falls
dancing with the stars
hugging close to
the dimming light
holding fast to
the vanishing warmth
what did we do
to deserve such cold?
what can we do
to find the fire again?
over and under covers
silent in the dark
wondering if the sun
will rise again
(dim)
you don't have
to wait much more
in this bitter cold
soon enough you'll
be old enough to
make your own decisions
regroup unto yourself
and learn where to be
don't see eye to eye?
don't fret
the vision was getting
too blurry anyway
(go)
1)
enigmatic girl
who is it you're looking for?
are your eyes for me
2)
petals protect me
from the cold that you became
when you forgot hope
3)
decadent delight
worrisome but home to none
still under the stars
i carry my heart
on the outside
such a bumpy ride
for an important organ
i can't hide the feelings
from the inside
only because you
bring them to the surface
it's a talent you have
that you probably didn't want
to taunt without feeling it
and hurt without meaning to
incomplete words don't
make for a good rhyme
and the cold weather brittles
any kind words that are said
afraid of the eggshells that
must be walked on?
think about how it feels
for the eggs
scrambled, as usual
(breakky)
sometimes you have to stay
where you are valued
and walk away from
the unknown
even if it looks like
the better place
even if every face smiles
at your entrance
even if there are many stories
to inspire you along the way
the road there could be
hilly
the trouble there could be
unspoken
the friends you see from afar
can be acquaintances inside
the filter falls
the closer you get
to where you desire
making troubles very clear
steer away from
what you think
and stay where the feeling's real
at least for to-day
(soon)
