I don’t wanna know Please don’t tell me It’s been too much already My mind is weak and I’m unsteady  Please don’t tell me what insanity is coming round the bend Each day is ever darker While slowing all the more Our whole world’s a dumpster fire Those in charge, our expert liars The truth, too painful so I try to just pretend  But reality’s unrelenting  No inner sanctum to be found Though I try to hide away The truth still finds me every day So please don’t tell me what insanity is coming round the bend

We all have a song In our heart and in our head Some sung soft and low So no one dares to hear While others strong and loud From rivers we have bled Too sharp to keep within Too cruel to keep it near Many are never sung Some we would die to feel the words But these doors will never open They will never feel that light So much salvation's been denied From the muted, absurd Strains too pure to bear the day And so will stay through the night So if you can sing Then sing your song And if you can't Then sing ours too And know that We all belong Through our pain You'll know you do

Rosalinda
Though it’s what you think you see I am not your enemy And I don’t want to lose you to yourself I will break down walls and shout down silence Though I know I don’t want to be heard Cause baby you’re worth saving You are worth the world and so much more Your darkness does not scare me I won’t stop until you see That I don’t want to lose you to yourself I will break down walls and shout down silence until I know that I have been heard Cause baby you’re worth saving You are worth the world and so much more

For Lili
I've worn out my welcome I've worn out my shoes Spent too many fortnights Drinking the blues I've drifted for ages My coat sullied and threadbare Dancing for habit For the hearts no longer there My song has long faded Like the owl's late at night So please let me go I haven't the fight Let me go wander Let me drift away Then let go of the memories Embrace your today

Let it out and let it go You've got so much more to give Celebrate your imperfections And live the life you want to live

Why take the chance To ask her to dance When you know she's a cold hearted ***** She'll take all you've got Leave you with naught And laugh as she walks out the door Because to her it's a game And you're one and the same As all of those begging for more So why take the chance To ask her to dance When the ending is already known You end up dead In the heart and the head And desperately all alone So don't take the chance For once skip this dance And leave that soulless ***** to her own

Why take the chance
when I think of you I remember strawberries in the summer and love as light as butterfly wings yet stronger than steel

How long until I fail again Fail again to die How long until I fail again I feel the time is nigh  Tinman goes along in life With no heart in his chest Few know he chopped his own heart out To put the pain to rest He hoped leading a heartless life Would let him live life without pain Yet he still feels each sling and arrow Over and again How long until I fail again Fail again to die How long until I fail again I'll never fail to try

How Long?
Time is all we have Time we never know Time to live and love Then it's time for us to go You slipped right through my fingers While I was busy living mine I thought that we could catch up Though we were so very far behind Time was all we had But little did we know That your time to live and love Would end before our next hello
