Autumn was it when we first met
Autumn is it what I can't forget
Autumn was love and fret
Winter is not upon thee yet.

Autumn has three months,
Where leaves are by counted by the millionth,
Autumn is the time to find some shoes
While the season after brings us the blues.

Autumn is colour and life
Autumn was when you hug your wife.
Autumn is all alone
Autumn was blissful and blown.

Silence for what seems like decades,
Endless periods of time,
In this small choking room,
With charred walls
And torn curtains,
With nothing but dust hanging in midair.
Clocks had stopped ticking,
And water doesn’t drip-drop anymore
From the never-sealed tap.
No sunshine beaming through my window,
No birds chirruping in my garden,
Only dry dead branches,
Dry baked earth,
The smell of cobwebs and rot.
Sitting in my corner for so long,
I’ve become almost as lifeless
As this place itself.
Just another song about heartbreak and sorrow
Another song about lost tomorrows
Another sad lady, in front of a  mirror
Another day struggling just to be here
Another love story ended in shame
He’s off to another girl, with only myself to blame

I loved you too much, too fast, too long
You told me I was too young, too pure, too wrong
Now I’ve grown, in more ways than one
And now you’re still off in the world having fun
The love story has ended, never to begin again
But I know who I am, and I know where I’ve been

It was a spree, a song, a little fling
But not any ordinary thing
And I’m still another broken heart
Trying to make a fresh new start
Another sad, broken case
Frightened to move in or out of place

Whatever I talk about is yesterday
by the time I see anything it is gone
the only way I can see today
is as yesterday

I talk with words I remember
about what has already happened
what I want to talk about is no longer there
it is not there

today I say only what I remember
even when I am speaking of today
nobody else remembers what I remember
not even the same names

I tell parts of a story
that once occurred
and I laugh with surprise at what disappeared
though I remember it so well
I don't want any of this
Nothing more, Nothing less

The dead parade the city streets
I'm now ready to admit defeat

I just want a place to rest
Nothing more, nothing less

The human mind is a breeding ground
To the senseless chaos that's all around
There's got to be a way to destroy this machine
I can destroy anything, I can destroy me

I'll join the rest
Walk in death
I'll roam the streets with the rest
I'll march among the best

It's always halloween here
It's a lifeless community
Except there's no costumes, no masks
No tricks, no treats

Death is peace
Death is tranquility
Death is calm
Death is serenity

This is what i want
Nothing more, Nothing less

That post-*** lull
Leaves you feeling full
She brushes through your hair
Your thoughts about as heavy as air
She gently rubs your back
Her hands on some invisible track
She listens to your heartbeat
And smiles to you, so sweet
You lay there entangled
Her hair now mangled
Exhaustion sets in
And you know you can't win
You gaze into her eyes
You can't even rise
Instead you take her hand
She makes you feel grand
When one door closes, another one opens.

When one journey ends, another begins.

When one joy is lost, another is found.

When we stop trying to find them, they might just appear.

I'm heartbroken
because I need you
for always
and you
only need me for
three hours
every two months.

If you have to be what
you eat I'll just have
those dandelions that
float away when you
blow on them, or a
yard of silk that
flutters in the wind. Just
anything to help me fly.

You
will always
be the reason
I don't think I'm
good enough but I
know I'm better than I
was four years ago. And
I think I'll spend the rest of
my life trying to prove to you
I'm bigger than how you made
me feel.
