Sail all night
Find Your Star
Waves of grey
Guide your heart
Vessel veers
Far from home
Abandon fears
Of unknown
Vibrations slow
Reflect so loud
Off still and calm
To make you proud
No one knows where you are or how far
No one finds you here, just stare, don't steer
And now vanish
Afloat no trace
A past erased
In time and space
Experiments
On live seas
Awaiting fate
To prove theories
No one knows where you are or how far
No one finds you here, just stare, don't steer
Excerpt from 'Nothing But Heartache In Your Social Life'

You're On

Curtains drawn
Until the sun is gone
Uncertain strong
You’re on
And all along
You were wrong
I belong
Alone
I find it hard
To face the day
Radio waves
And faces
Minds and hearts
Separated
Racing stationary on their ways
To different areas and places
Tried too hard
To make my way
Just the same
As someone else’s
Mind and heart
I wasted
Placing vacant worth on being selfless
Lesson learned lesson forgotten
Lesson earned less than bought and on and on
Curtains drawn
You’re on
All along
I was wrong
I belong
At home
You’re on
Your own

Through Your Eyes

Save me a cloud to write on
A breeze to clear my mind
Save me a kiss from your sweet lips
And your love and all your time
Be the star that shines for me
The sky that's oh so blue
Memories are all I have left
Except for my love of you
I'll give you my life
All that's left
And all of my love for you
Be the light that guides me
To see but through your eyes
Join you in your heaven
And whisper through the skies
Send me a thought to hold in my mind
Whisper softly in my ear
I will tell you how I feel for you
And always hold you near
I'll give you my life
All that's left
And all of my love for you

I was writing his story
And he gave me a look
He was very handsome, distractingly so
and I never dreamed that he'd be my boyfriend
He wrote me letters, daily from prison
That said I know I've killed a few
But none of those women were you
I couldn't speak
It was over for me
I found my grim reaper prince
Well he said he loved me
And he cooked me dinner
He cut my lungs out
And made me feel thinner
And I'll never forget him
Now that it's over
The life that we had
When they strapped him down
Oh but how all the girls were jealous
Cause he liked me the best
Oh and I couldn't breathe
It was true love indeed
But now my grim prince is gone
Well I said I loved him
When they strapped him in
But he wasn't cryin'
He took it like a man
And the families watched him
As he breathed his last
But I got rather angry
I started to laugh
And say now he's got what's comin'
He was due his lot
Oh and I couldn't see, there were tears on my cheek
Goodbye my grim reaper prince
Goodbye my grim reaper prince
Goodbye goodbye
I'll see you in a while
Goodbye
Fair well
Good luck

You take your keys
Slam the door and leave
You don't wait around
You don't play around
You're leavin town
Safe in your escape
You stay up four days
You fade away forever
You remember four days
You were your own landscape
Unafraid
Un-betrayed
Alive and
Unashamed
Safe In Your Escape

Your Mother Says

You've had a long day little one
And you're always havin fun
I read your books to you, every one
You always ask "one more?" when I'm done
Do what your mother says
Lay down your little head
Your bright eyes follow me around
You only hide from me to be found
I try so hard
To never let you down
Do what your mother says
Lay down your little head
Sleep's the only way
To make it through the day
I'll teach you everything I know
But you can never see what I know
Protect you from everything I know
You're gonna be better than me, I know
Do what your mother says
Lay down your little head
Sleep's the only way
To make it through the day
Do what your mother says
Lay down your little head
Sleep's the only way I'll
Make it through the day now
