American I want to fly like an eagle / To the sea / Fly like an eagle / Let my spirit carry me / I want to fly like an eagle / Till I'm free
Lately things just ain't been going right Loving words tumble down into a raging fight And, every time you call I feel afraid to know Who I’ll find, cause you ain't been you for quite some time I can’t tell if you’ve been seeing it The cloudy conversations lingering round something We just cant get to And I’d be so lost, so lost without you But wandering through your tangled woods Keeps taking me further from you So should we let it go, and let it breathe Hope we come back to find each other and Hope the love we have is something gold Or should we, just move on and just forget Save happy memories from turning to regrets We still haven’t found it yet The nights without you are so lonely But the days when you’re around have turned to ash The silence round us screaming, the quite tension reeling And I never get that feeling that you see me anymore Each word you say quickly turns into a dart And the love bleeds out of every hole you’ve stuck inside my heart Like a circus act, with my back against the wall While you throw all the knives and don’t care where they fall I want to die fighting for this I want to scream before I let this free But all the fighting, endless silence Has drained the life right out of me So you tell me Should we let it go, and let it breathe Hope we come back to find each other and Hope the love we have is something gold Or should we, just move on and just forget Save happy memories from turning to regrets We still haven’t found it yet

It happens each morning when I wake up near you And I think, you are, the most beautiful dream I wake up to You drink your coffee with sugar, and you love to laugh in the morning And I am hopelessly swept away by your smile My feet fly off the ground listening to you Ideas bout how to make the world spin round And all I think of, is how much I love having you around This story began when you ran into me I never believed how beautiful this could be I’ll never leave the pages upon which we stand Cause with you, I’d go anywhere, hand in hand I cant believe those very first days, when you were playing it so cool And I was always a little shy That 5 years from now we’d go on together and Keep writing the pages of our life Each day, each chapter, the happy ever after Feels so real, with you near to me This story began when you ran into me I never believed how beautiful this could be I’ll never leave the pages upon which we stand Cause with you, I’d go anywhere, hand in hand I can’t imagine all the days I spent not knowing you All the times my heart did break But you came in, and the story begins And you still take my breath away From now and the beginning, feels like it will never end And were still holding on to it hand in hand This story began when you ran into me I never believed how beautiful this could be I’ll never leave the pages upon which we stand Cause with you, I’d go anywhere, hand in hand

Hand in Hand
Life, oh life. What is this life? But A flickering ember from a flame So brave the wind that caught the coal To light my heart which burns untamed Why torture a passionate soul as mine? With convolution, betrayal, lies Steal dreams far from these innocent eyes Instill fear and doubts that long remain Each day that passes, each hour floods by Sinks what once shone brightly from within, While none feel this fading light, such as I Whose silent anguish my jaded mind rescinds The tortured wrestling, each ripping shred Of the stitching of my soul, as she collapses in defeat While each flaming ember my youth once held Cools to greying ashes amidst my frozen feet For none can move this queen of ice. Trapped beneath her struggle with virtue and vice Longing for her freedom, but afraid to pay the price For the wings that would break this treacherous deal, in time For this phoenix to ignite herself Unfold her flaming wings, take flight Turn every sordid speck of ash, into a burning life Life, oh life. What are you life? But time seeping through my grasping hands Wish that I could hold you life Know your secrets and bury within, Your very center your hollow core Where all is silent and nothing is known, Where I can hear my hearts beating once more The truest sound, begin again.

Oh Life
I lost my love to the ocean I lost my love to the sea I lost my love to the deep dark waters And he is no longer with me He left one night while the moon was watching An ivory eye to the east He left one night while I was dreaming And my love no longer he’ll be I called his name to the open shore-side I whispered his name from the sea I cried his name to a silent answer My love is no longer with me If you hear my song from the crashing shore side If you taste my tears from the sea My lonely heart calls for a lover A lover who’ll never leave me I’ll bring him down to the dark deep waters I’ll show him the treasures of the sea I’ll drown his heart with the depth of my ocean And my love will never leave me

A Mermaid's Song
If you could step inside my heart Would you recognize its walls? Lit by thousands of the stars As silver moonlight falls. Would you hear the gentle rushing, Of the waves against the shore? Would you tread across the soft sand? And lay here forever more? Would you walk inside each chamber? Whisper your name into each hall Would you dance inside each vessel? Hear the music of my call. I call to you so sweetly To lay inside my heart I’ve built a place so full of love You’ll never have to part. You fly above my ocean I’ll kiss you with each wave Watch you soar into the sunset Your skin glistening with golden rays. Float across the night sky I’ll watch you from the moon I’ll blow you diamond stardust To help you reach me soon Travel through the worlds my love But know you have a home Deep inside my beating heart You’ll never feel alone The music of my heartbeat Will be your lullaby And the glow of warmth inside me Will reflect in your brown eyes. Explore all the worlds’ wonders But know my love will never fade The way you fit inside my heart love, For you it must be made.

Recognize My Heart
Yeah you, you don't know how it feels, When you tell me this love is for real Baby I know the deal. And I don't believe a single word you breathe Yeah I, I followed you out last night, Saw you kissing in the cold moonlight Felt my heart break free From your tragedy You won't make a fool of me no more You, you cruel-hearted boy You should learn how to play with your toys Instead of breaking me, what a mess I'd bleed In your bittersweet charade I stole, what was left of your ways Spent them with all of our days With a bottle of the finest gin in town You, you see me with him Now you know where I've been See the satisfied look in my eyes You dont mean a thing to me no more.

Bittersweet Charade
You must think your something special As you rampage around the office A raging bull on parade A one woman show Tearing through flesh with your Pointy devil horns. The sound from your throat Is kin to a screeching hyena Holding a megaphone To its rotting stoma. And the expression on your face Reminds me of a rabid baboon With wicked indigestion Locked in a steaming sauna. It makes me sick to Kiss your flat, shapeless *** And muster a semi-genuine smile With that grotesquely arranged expression You call a greeting, reflected in my Eyes every tortured morning Your 7am demands rain down on me. Too soon, my pet I will be leaving this place Shedding the protective clothing Ive worn to this hazardous waste disposal site, you call 'your office' And the toxicity of your cruel, malicious comments will evaporate With the rays of a golden sun. But you, my pet Will be left with the gray stormy clouds You attract to all who are around you Pouring, and hailing down the **** storm You pathetically call, your life.

Something Special
Nick's tongue is in my mouth. And for a split-second the world Isn't revolving. All I can feel is the cool October wind Stinging us with its earthy, cider scent. A thousand leaves Exploding red, burning orange and yellow Flutter around in my stomach. As the trees shed above us, Teasing my thoughts with their nakedness As his fingers wrap around mine. I watch his orange-laced sneakers Pounding against the uneven pavement Carelessly, unnoticing As I meticulously avoid stepping on the cracks, Making futile attempts to slow our pace As he bounds ahead. Caring little about the red, orange and yellow leaves He crushes so beautifully Beneath his feet.

Autumn
You keep me hanging from your heart by a string Where I sway unsteadily in the current of your contradictions. Watching the sun move across your heart Lightness to dark, boldness to fear. I bask in the golden rays from your warmth Swinging free, my feet touching stars. I shiver frozen in your night When your fear creeps out for the uncertainty of your blindness. My arms have grown weary with the weight of holding on Waiting for the refuge I know exists. Where I am lifted from this string into your beating heart We both watch the darkness fade to dawn. You leave me wondering as my hands grow numb If it would not be better to cut this string Plunge down. Than to brave your night and day When I know you've caged your sun.

Caged Sun
It seems I'm nearly bursting With the words I want to speak. Afraid I might crush you With the rush of their wave. But it would wash over you gently Soak into your heart. I want to taste the words in my mouth Like I taste your lips. Feel them slip from my tongue To join the cloud that surrounds you. Just keep hovering above me A mist, light as a breeze. Watch me thrash beneath you wildly Each wave reaching, desperate to lick The thin air on which you float.
