I'm on my way to making this all up now.
From here on out we won't be idle anymore
(press on forward)
and we'll keep things set in order i'll make my voice heard
to any crowd
as long as you'll listen
This goes through my head each and every day
my dreams haven't gone away
i'm not wasting my time waiting
there's no room for debating
only so much time, only so much time
and I'm not wasting mine.

A Compromise

I've been to hell and back but all I can remember
is the time I saw her
it stays burned in my head.
She's inside of a rainbow
but all I see is red.
Because she's burned inside my head.
And when she beckons me into the heavens
I will not go, but stay in the depths.
But then again...
she says I'm her whole world
cuz she knows that I'll cave in, just wait one more minute.
And that's when it happens, between breaths
when we feel infinate
but with no weight on your chest you'll just forget.
But if it crawls out of your mind
If it slips through your fingers
Just open up your lungs
And breath into me.
I've been to hell and back but all I can remember
is the time I saw her
it stays burned in my head.

Heart of Gold

How can I be warm my dear?
you've scared the sun away.
It felt your beauty coursing through it's ever burning veins.
And you won't find it's rays of heat
on this cold and lonely street.
I wouldn't really care but now the cold's gotten to me
you're knocking on his door again
every night this week it seems.
touch the handle test the heat
please just walk back to the street.
every single time it opens you take one more step from me.
and why do you ignore it?
think i'm blind? that i can't see?
your fragile heart would burn to peices
if you'd see the things i've seen.
your next trip to his house will be an arrow in my sweetest dreams
I don't care anymore.
How can I see clear, my dear?
you've blackened out the sun
I can almost feel the smoke tear through my ever burning lungs
and as this poison makes its way slowly to my brain
The thoughts of you will burn away and my soul will do the same
This whole world is freezing
and maybe youre content with the cold
But I have all the heat I need
In my heart of gold
And I am a part of this problem
And I am tired
And I am broken
You never help me you just provoke it.
You attack me with your words unspoken,
And I will never be free.
And I will never be free.
And I will never be free.

Erie

The snow covers everything.
These colder days usually bring
the people out of their homes
to look at this frozen bay.
Lake erie's so nice this year.
Your name's written everywhere;
On every granite stone
that sits above box and bone.
But these graves aren't as bad as they seem;
If you look a few more inches deep
you'll find a place to sleep.
but with no one for body heat,
just how could you dream a dream...
Without me?

Out With the In

I guess it's just not in my bones
To be a no brain drone who only cares about drugs and trendy clothes
I can't see the world like the rest
My clouded mind is always filled with regret
And I have run around in circles in my head.
My cold world is kindly stressed.
With the burden in my head
I'm trapped in my thoughts and it never stops.
It never stops.
What is a good man?
There's no place for people like me in this town
I'll always stick out of the crowd.
And I know it's not for sure but I think I'm lost in my culture.
