Letting go

There, you are, illuminated

In a sea of dimmed lights

Here, I am, captivated 

By your lovely glowing sight 

All of your noise breaks the silence

All of my sound, restless and wild

And all we need to say to change everything

Is let's shorten the miles

And I know, it's scary to let it all go

The fear of the certain unknown

The risk of losing your own soul  

But I promise it's worth it, and

Only love comes after letting go

Here, I am, patiently waiting 

In the dark, worryingly wondering

There, you are, shinning more brightly 

Than anyone I've ever seen burn

And I know, it's scary to let it all go

The fear of the certain unknown

The risk of losing your own soul  

But I promise it's worth it, and

Only love comes after letting go

I don't know if you're afraid

I don't know what's keeping you away

I don't know what to think

I don't know what to say

Except that I'll wait patiently 

I know that I'm afraid

Of doing anything to push you away

I know that I'm scared 

And I know who you are

So I'll wait patiently

And I know, it's scary to let it all go

Let my light shine bright to guide you home

And I know, it's scary to let it all go

Cause' uncertainty is too much to control 

But I promise I'm worth it, and

Only love comes after letting go 

  

Without You

Crying myself to sleep again

Will this nightmare ever end?

She doesn't know

She will never understand 

Crying myself through the night 

Letting her go with the morning light

She doesn't know

She will never understand

And where are you? (I miss you)

Where are you? (I miss you)

Who am I without you? (do you miss me too?)

Crying again, one last time

I was a fool to think you were mine

She cannot know 

She will never understand

And where are you? (Crying myself to sleep again)

Where are you? (Will this nightmare ever end?)

I miss you (She doesn't know)

Do you miss me too? (She will never understand)  

And where are you? (Crying myself through the night)

Where are you? (Letting her go with the morning light)

I miss you (She doesn't know)

Do you miss me to? (She will never understand) 

Crying again, one last time

I was a fool to think you were mine

She cannot know (I miss you)

She will never understand (Do you miss me too?)

Katie

In the corner of my room

On the edge of my bed

I think about us

And all the things we said

To each other about one another

And it makes me sad tonight

In the corner of your room

On the edge of your bed

Do you think about us

And all the things we said

To each other about one another

Does it make you sad tonight

Katie don't cry, don't cry

Katie don't cry tonight

If you see Katie, that pale skinned lady

Tell her not to cry tonight

On the corner of my wrist 

On the edge of my sleeve

Is where I left my heart

For you to keep

Safe from all the monsters

That walk amongst us tonight

On the corner of your wrist

On the edge of your sleeve

Is where you left your heart

To bleed for me

And for all the monsters

And the ghosts that haunt you tonight

Katie don't cry, don't cry

Katie don't cry tonight

If you see Katie, that bat-winged lady

Tell her not to cry tonight

Katie don't cry, don't cry

Katie don't cry tonight

If you see Katie, that Cat-Bat lady

If you see Katie

Tell her not to cry, tonight

I’ve watched you cry many times before

Each time I walked out the door

Increasing the distance

Giving in to resistance

You see the world that’s unknown to me

I see the world you cannot believe

Enter the screaming

And dying for dreaming

As I stare out the window with the passing cars

You look right at me as if I am from Mars

No, you’re never quite happy right where you are

Keep on inventing shadows

Where there are none

No, there are none

Yeah, you keep on inventing shadows

Where there are none

You don’t even see the sun,

Can’t you see the sun?

It might be shocking that I want to leave

Just so you could be safe and happy

You just drain me

If I go, who could blame me?

And you stare out the window with the passing cars

And I look right at you like you are from Mars

No, I’m never quite happy right where you are

Right where we are

With all that we are

So we keep on inventing shadows

Where there are none

Where there are none

Yeah, we keep on inventing shadows

Where there are none

Where there are none

We’re so young, you’re so beautiful

Perfectly imperfect in my eyes

And don’t you know our love shines

Every time you smile

Why can’t you just smile?

Why do we keep on inventing shadows?

Where there are none?

Where there are none?

Yeah, we keep on inventing shadows

Where there are none

Where there are none

We don’t even see the sun

Can’t we see the sun?

It’s not surprising it could end like this

I knew it before our first kiss

I felt the distance

The cold and resistance

You dim the lights in the world I see

How I wish that I could still believe

In time to save me

If I go, who could blame me?

No Fury Like

             

Here comes the agony twisting in knots of new yet familiar aches of hate and…       

There go the memories, gone forever like they never existed before…  

Within the fabric, my most precious gift from life

Deep in the plastic, the best of me now lost in time

Here comes the sickness rising inside with the burn and a sting of shame and regret and...  

There go memories, the very best of me, the most loved pieces that you threw away...  

Within the fabric, my most precious gifts from life

Deep in the plastic, the best of me now lost in time

And the suffering, the pain, the misery, the torment begins…

And the suffering, the pain, the misery, the torment begins…

And the suffering, the pain, the misery, the torment begins…

And the suffering, the pain, the misery, the torment begins now

I'll Never Know

What went wrong I’ll never know

But it’s for the best oh that I’m sure

I see your face I want to cry

Such beauty that will never die

You seem so happy I hope you are

You deserve the best that life has to offer

One day I hope to see you again

And hear your voice like we’re still friends

I love you so much it hurts inside

Maybe I’m wrong but just maybe I’m right

If only I could kiss your lips

You would see by the sway of our hips

Our love is true but just a seed

Needing time and some company

And in the night it will grow

And blossom into something beautiful

With the dawn our love will rise

And echo throughout all thought and time

To forever change our known lives

And the future of all mankind

But what went wrong I’ll never know

You made a choice, maybe you chose wrong

But if you are happy where you are

Then I’ll stay right here but not too far

Because I love you my friend

And my love for you will never end

Deja vu

Déjà vu, angry in my bones

Never knew, I was so alone

Is life more than this?

Hope life is more than this, for some

Déjà vu, all has gone wrong

Maybe you and I could get along

Me and you, could be happy

Together as if we were meant to be

Can life be better than this?

Hope life is better than this, for some

Déjà vu, I’m so confused

Lost and damaged, and you never knew

I can be more than this

I want to be more than this, for you

Is life more than this?

Hope life is more than this, for some

Can life be better than this?

Hope life is better than this, for some

I can be more than this

I want to be more than this, or none
