Unhappiness and Doubt
Will be the undoing of me,
For when I have lost all confidence,
And all imagination,
I will no longer be me

When I can no longer scream into the wind with joy,
When I am unable to see beauty in a dark night,
When even the ones I love most can't make me smile
I'll be gone...

Bad feelings will be the undoing of me,
Should I allow myself to wallow in them,
Should my will crumble,
I will be lost

Boredom filled days,
Everything drowning in gray,
All color begins to slowly seep away,

But I fight it,
Imagining colors where there are none,
I take up my paint like arms in hand against the dull gray of life,

Life has to be interesting,
For it to be worth living,
So the war rages on everyday,
The battle between repetition and finding something new amongst it.

Learn  to appreciate,
Appreciate that way the sunlight hits that leaf you've never really noticed,
Appreciate the smile on a loved ones face,
As you look up,
Appreciate that particular shade of blue or pink or orange that's in the sky,

Because that's where the color of life lies,
The color is hidden in details you never deign to notice,
It is in the things you look at but do not see.

My love
When shall you come along?
When will fate allow me to cross your path?
I'm too young still I suppose
But I'm becoming impatient,
Where are you?

Every love song I sing is for you,
Every fantasy is one of you,
Every romance I watch is in preparation for you,

Will you come to me when I'm old and gray?
Or are you just around the corner? Ready to catch me off guard...

Every time I look up at the stars I hope someday I'll stare at them with you,
Every show and movie I love, I someday want to watch with you
Every time I discover something new about myself I want to tell it to you,

But you're not here quite yet,
Just know,
I'm waiting here for you.

Golden light,
Shining from golden buildings,
In a golden city,
Turning waves golden,

Liquid gold rises and crashes against the shore,
Pulling me in and pushing me back,
Such beauty as this,
I may very well never know it again,
As I float amidst the golden waves,
I can see the undertones of dark blue underneath the rich golden illusion,
It only adds more beauty to this night,

The full moon hangs just above a diamond mountain in the distance,
Winking at me,
I smile,
Such beauty and calm,
Will I ever feel it again?

Melt,
Melt,
Melt,
I beg of you!
Allow these bad feelings to melt away

Let everything melt away,
Until it is just me,
Only me here...

Alone in the heat,
With my mind clear,
My heart clear,

Let no miasma of darkness remain,
I want it all to melt away

You are indeed a handsome man,
But here it is not so
You're song is so very famous,
But here it is widely unknown

Here they do not appreciate,
The beautiful words that roll off your tongue,

Here they do not know what soulful words you have sung,

Here they have difficulty even saying your name,
But believe me I think it's beautiful all the same

Here none appreciate the wonders you've created,
But where you are from it cannot even be so much as debated

How different it is...
Here and There
