Defeat
Love's a broken thing It never works out It comes with a sting To wipe you out It will find you and hold And you'll embrace it You're bought and sold You're owned by it Love will deceive The kindest of hearts You'll try to believe But it'll tear you apart There might come that chance Where you will slip by Ask her to dance And love her till you die All the memories The sleepless nights All of your storys Will make it alright So In the end It all seems worthwhile You'll look over at her and Simply smile

On Love
All this time I didn't feel right You gave me a struggle but it wasnt my fight I became distracted with the course of my life It wasn't the direction, as much as the flow The highest highs and the lowest lows The blackest nights and the whitest glows I stay up above or down below The medium stays well out of sight

Bipolar
Summer time This time is mine I will use it to play all day For the Sun shines down Upon my face I know this feeling I cant replace Falling down The leaves swirl round The Air feels so cool and calm The Sun. it shines A little less I feel as if we just met Bitter cold My Bones feel old The Ice persists to slow me down No Sun, no Warmth Just Sleet and Snow I think back to long ago Springs back now It’s poring down The Rain renews the Earth again A clear blue sky It's just for me Sun shine always sets me free

A Man Of All Seasons
Can you tell me, what's the rush? Life's made of moments, we barely touch I see your face as a passing blur, A ghostly image of what you were So much time is wasted on Thoughts and actions, that come out wrong We all lay claim to pure intentions Except the times we never mention We slowly surrender to rising doubts Choosing to take the easy way out and What we stand for, is compromised A moment’s weakness can haunt your life The conclusion, is all that is certain There’s no way to predict That final curtain Just because you’re living, Doesn't mean you’re alive Cause a dreamless heartbeat, Keeps no time It can’t know the depths, Where passion resides It won’t feel hope heal, The pain that won’t subside Just because you’re living, Doesn't mean you’re alive So why are we afraid to roll the dice? Let’s chase our dreams, Regardless of price and Aim for the stars, So we light up the night Cause a dreamless heartbeat, Keeps no time It can’t know the depths, Where passion resides It won’t feel hope heal, The pain that won’t subside Just because you’re living, Doesn't mean you’re alive

Let Life Linger
Side splitting Tummy tickle Come on son Come have a little Fun But I dont think I could have another One One leaves me so full When life can feel So dull Side splitting Tummy tickle Come on sir Come have a little Fun We'll hope that things are getting better Don't you worry About the weather Just as long as You can have Some fun Now the sun only shines for Those that hold you close and The earth only carries you Because they make it so I don't think things are Getting better That's why I'm wearing This sweater Don't get me wrong I'd like to get along But one can only hold out for So long

It's getting cold outside
days and months and years gone by I never stopped To wonder why we thought we could runaway that day And somehow we could Make our way me? I gave up everything my heart was all that I could bring but you were hungry for something more wanting all, I could never afford friends turned enemies turned aquaintences Love turned to hate turned to indifference Now we act like we didnt exist chalk it up to naive innocence the parts of me that were once you Im sweating out like a stubborn flu I was addicted, but i guess its true withdrawls come from things that're bad for you

Full circle
I'll say it simply Strong, and without fear You have no place in my heart You are not welcome here It started with a visit You made yourself at home The fun was never ending Your price was never known I begged you to stay longer The fun had just begun You said, "On one condition," "Let me rearrange some. "These pictures just to start," My memories from my heart "And these books will have to go" with every truth I've ever known The walls were all knocked down To create an echo sound My center piece was replaced With water in an empty vase "There," you smiled with delight "Now this room feels just right." There was nothing left, I could see You didn't leave, even one bit of me Again I'll say it Strong, and without fear You have no place in my heart You are not welcome here

Get Out
You know I hate feeling sorry for myself nothing's worse than asking for a little help You asked me, "What can I do for you?" I said, I would let you know as soon as I knew All I want is a place where I belong Filled with friendly faces, that know when something's wrong Where I have not a thing to prove Where there can be a me, and you Please don't rush me when I move slow I’ll be ready just the same, when its time to go you asked me, "What can I do for you?" I said, I would let you know as soon as I knew I need you to keep the beat to my heart I need you to leave off where i start Show me patience when I am confused You know I would do the same for you Please stay with me Hold me, closely cause all i need is good company All I want is a place where I belong Filled with friendly faces, that know when something’s wrong All I need is you to be with me No one in the world makes me feel so free

Good Company
I tend my garden with watchful eyes Not left to luck, or the sands of time I pace these rows, and purify Because I know, what I sow, is mine I tend to fear what I cannot see I feel absurd, but they're real to me One second thought can plant a seed A scourge will sprout, and begin to feed My eyes are dry, and my body aches The Sun's too high to touch my face Vision blurs where heat radiates Blending lines, and distorting shape My souls on fire, my broken heart aches The Earth is offered, for Heaven's sake With all I need to build or break It's up to me to strive to create Truth's sting can hurt, but it's not unkind Because I know, what I grow, in time Will inspire my heart with love sublime To pluck from my field, and share what's mine My souls on fire, my body aches My eyes are dry, my open palm shakes Because I know, all I sow If it grows, when I go, I take
