Stranger than your sympathy I refuse to take this passively Ive been looking around and inside-out Nothings here and not a sound Tapestry a familiar melody But I'm not sure where I can find A piece mind and sanity I've dug myself out and screamed out loud I've been looking around and inside out Nothing is here and there's no sound Stranger than your sympathy I'm sorry for your precious loss But I'm still here while you've been gone So many years have gone so wrong And I don't know where I should go With two roads ahead there is no home So stranger than your sympathy I've found out that I was wrong and you're not here to hear it all And I'm not sure where I belong You let me know when I come home I'll share what I read and you can speak on it But even then I'll never be sure of what it was or what it's been I've been ripping myself from the inside out You're not here and it's all wrong I've dug myself out and screamed out loud I've been looking around and inside out Nothing is here and there's no sound Maybe not now but years from now Stranger than your sympathy Years later you'll be around And I'll be there to guide you up Cause I'll be home and you'll be close

You've taught me well, so horribly wrong. Stuck in orange looking at these concrete walls Memories of you are colder than these cuffs You had to go make life so rough You taught me well so horribly wrong You've been gone so long But sure enough, you've made me angry and tough You've taught me so well, so horribly wrong What? I know you've had enough, life was too rough Even though you taught me so well, so horribly wrong I'm free outside soaking up the sun You taught me well, so horribly wrong So tell me, what have you done? You tell me How did you teach me so well, so horribly wrong? The writings written on the **** the wall Alcohol.

You Taught Me Well, So Horribly Wrong
I’m so high up But I can feel gravity slowly pulling me Back to where I once was Back to where I once was I have what every girl seems to want Skinny, pretty, petite They tell me they’re jealous But it’s them I wish I could be I can feel gravity slowly pulling me Back to where I once was Back to where I once was I feel so stuck Like some must feel who have feet but legs that can’t walk I have a body I can’t show off It rejects all the good things I crave Including my own baby I wish I could have and hold one day (I heard it’s a blessing) I can feel gravity slowing pulling me Back to where I once was Back to where I once was Days like this I wish I could cut Myself apart, build a new body These scars hold me together I can feel gravity slowly pulling me Back to where I once was Back to where I once was With a heart that’s breaking apart

Back to where I once was...
Where is he when I need him He was always here, On the other side waiting for my reply Long notes back and forth Shared stories become memories Missing The song sticks with me driving into the city As I wonder if you're still alive, How you're doing What you're doing If anything... I hope you're around here some place

Missing
I hope you can’t hear me Or see the things I’ve done and what I’m doing I know you wouldn’t be proud You taught me so well So horribly wrong I’ll never get caught I’ll run and run Faster than they can draw their guns I’ve always been smarter than you You were quick but lost site of the game Gotta have brains to get away You taught me so well So horribly wrong Thanks to you I’ll never get caught I’ll never get caught Forever on the run Never moving From where I started from You taught me so well So horribly wrong

So Well, So Horribly Wrong
I’m ready to go Take me away Show me a new place Your mind is beautiful I’m sure so will be your gaze I don’t want to remember the past His or her name I want to forget these thoughts You calm my mind Help me sing new songs I've been looking to the moon Sitting alone on tombs Talking to the dead Wishing to hear everything unsaid I want silence in my head These screams keep me awake In bed I alone lay I want to forget my past Look up and the moon I want to next to you and sing a new tune Anything other than the blues There’s something about you That pushes me through I think I could fall in love with you

Sitting in a building so full of people I feel like I’m the only one Broken keys and different graffiti Unfamiliar faces Same old stories Ears ringing Listening to the ones on stage I wonder what if I fallowed their footsteps How different my life would be If I did more than write lyrics Perhaps I’d be on a flight to Boston I had a dream and I didn’t chase it Now I hear they might make it But then I remember All the reasons why I ran To a stranger I knew so well When I felt I had nobody and nothing else At the ends of my days I had a place A bar that was a breath of fresh air As the glasses caught my tears I returned year after year Until it all just disappeared I wonder where my life will go from here

I wish I didn’t have to let go Of this beautiful dress that fits me so well It makes me smile as I fall with it to the ground I wish on the stars I want to take it out Dance by candlelight and watch it flow Twirl and make it grow The whole night through But this dress isn't mine to hold on to I have to let this lovely dress go I worry this dress will be buried below I want it to shine I want it to glow I must confess I love this dress I wish I didn’t have to let it go

I Wish
I walk the white lines I wait patiently to be called By those in white who walk the halls Tapping my feet, looking around Stretching and reading Don't touch anything Sitting back down and twiddling my thumbs Waiting and waiting For whatever is next to come Why do I feel so alone There’s always someone else Waiting outside and in the same hall We are one.
