Yesterday I played a song for you over applause last night I dreamt that you were here arms open, breath and all And I don't remember much except you hugged me while I played And I gave it all I had to give so maybe you would stay I remember how your hands felt on me willing me to keep on going playing over the applause All restraint and shaking lost tears to the piano flowing I threw my heart into the keys My life energy into the air the rhythm became my heart beat and you stole me standing there And put me back where I belong and I was never scared at the sound of music I could breath.... Yesterday I played a song for you over the applause And I knew that you would love it if you didn;t have to leave but when I touched piano keys I could feel you here with me.

Dedicated to... September 25 2012
She wakes in the morning And climbs up the stairs In the grey dawn pretends She’s the only one there She stands under water And hides in its brace Letting it burn her skin Away from this place She opens the door but She keeps her eyes closed She can't read the truth Etched into the windows She’s alone in a crowd And she chooses to be She’s afraid of the shock If she set herself free She’s scaling walls One brick at a time Fighting for a reason To believe she should try Too far gone she’s so Jaded Without self-medication But she's still star gazing' She doesn’t know why She knows that she has to The empty persists And it makes her feel small Like she doesn’t exist She floats through nirvana On pavement and back Gets lost under street lights As grey fades to black Her wheels turn slowly Almost at a stand still She feels like they'll stop But knows they never will Too far gone she’s so jaded Without self-medication But she's still star gazing' She doesn’t know why She knows that she has to The empty persists And it makes her feel small Like she doesn’t exist And she doesn’t exist And she doesn’t exist She likes it this way Without a purpose She’s gliding in grey light And staying up all night And everything’s alright If she doesn’t think of it Too far gone she’s so jaded Without self-medication But she’s still star gazing' She doesn’t know why She’s scaling walls One brick at a time Fighting for a reason To believe she should try She’s still star gazing but she doesn’t know why But she doesn’t know why

So Jaded, Star Gazing.
She wakes in the morning And climbs up the stairs In the grey dawn pretends She’s the only one there She stands under water And hides in its brace Letting it burn her skin Away from this place She opens the door but She keeps her eyes closed She can't read the truth Etched into the windows She’s alone in a crowd And she chooses to be She’s afraid of the shock If she set herself free She’s scaling walls One brick at a time Fighting for a reason To believe she should try Too far gone she’s so Jaded Without self-medication But she's still star gazing' She doesn’t know why She knows that she has to The empty persists And it makes her feel small Like she doesn’t exist She floats through nirvana On pavement and back Gets lost under street lights As grey fades to black Her wheels turn slowly Almost at a stand still She feels like they'll stop But knows they never will Too far gone she’s so jaded Without self-medication But she's still star gazing' She doesn’t know why She knows that she has to The empty persists And it makes her feel small Like she doesn’t exist And she doesn’t exist And she doesn’t exist She likes it this way Without a purpose She’s gliding in grey light And staying up all night And everything’s alright If she doesn’t think of it Too far gone she’s so jaded Without self-medication But she’s still star gazing' She doesn’t know why She’s scaling walls One brick at a time Fighting for a reason To believe she should try She’s still star gazing but she doesn’t know why But she doesn’t know why

Hiden Heart
In every action is music in posture and poise in the tiniest motion the most beautiful noise In your eyes I see lyrics perfect rhythm and rhyme funny thing 'bout emotion it doesn't waist any time In every person's a song it plays loud and clear but there always fighting with the voices I hear

Vocal chords
My fingers seem bound To the strings of my guitar hope these six little strings can take my hands pretty far My lyrics only as good as the moral I teach My music only as good As the people I reach I hope these strings stretch so I know I can earn wings I will learn soon enough If this caged bird can sing

Caged Bird
The child dies along with there dreams, or so it does seem. When reality is broken to bits only the memory is what still exists We cling to the ever fading image like a dream rapidly receding with the dawn parts and pieces slowly lost until the thought is gone The bits and pieces left behind are used in an attempt to reconstruct. The moment that was lost in time And blew away with the dust In order to retain the moment to capture it inside, there must be something more to it its so hard to define.

Moments
I wake up alone in a dark empty space, time moved so quickly what is this place? I've discovered me demons run ramped around this place, And so I run until I find a familiar face, One of few warm lights in a world cold as ice, Other forces pull me away from the comforting light, It thinks that its doing for me whats right, But I'm lost int he dark when they pull me away, Alone in the darkness, no way to **** them or escape.

Surrounded
Without saying the words -shhh- without having all of the -hushh- when there is no starting place, no finish line no beginning or end no second time without saying the words -shhh- without having all of the -hushh- When there is something so big, but nothing there, there is no hurt, no drawn out despair without saying the words -shhh- without having all of the -hushh- In this world you will never need a single reminder, no date it expires no title required HUSH

The dust in the sky fades from purple, to yellow, to white rapidly darkening receding wit the light Your arm around my shoulder made me feel so safe, there was comfort, life In a moment so close, to the overcoming night. The stars faded and allowed some light to shine through and the sky dust fell ton the earth in ac loud so still In a bright spray of light, that even brightened up the strength of the dark in the night The world now refreshed by a light rain of balance Seemed to hide in the depths of all that confusion The wonder and fear before it made it all clear the point of the matter is that it was always here

Sky Dust
The night surounds me the thoughts start to drown me they haven't yet found me My world shakes, i know the steaks, before dawn breaks I know the dangers of loving close strangers And I cant lose another day
