Peppermint Tea
Peppermint tea
it reminds you of me
so remember to drink it  slowly

Ill drink a cup or two
'cause it reminds me of you
as it worms   me up

Rising high
my fahrenheit
you keep me warm
all through the night....My Peppermint Tea

It leaves that cool after taste
kinda like it snowing when i left that day
dropping fast on the  thermostat  
left on a plane
unaware of when i'd be back...My Peppermint Tea

We had ourselves a tea

My Compass Rose
Oh  the ocean
the only one i know
and i don't wanna swim
if it gets too cold

And the motions
of love get old
and i wont settle for silver
when i once had gold..... when i once had you

Oh the commotion
of my emotions
led me to the night my soul was sold
i don't wanna grow old knowing the truth wasn't told

Both paper my heart
and the letter that you hold
let it be read as my heart
it unfolds..... for you

If my heart is my compass
then X you mark the spot
ill find my gold
and let it go i will not

If someone ever loved you
well i hope it would show
ill find my lovin'
your my compass rose

so ill swim these parts of the ocean
where the lonely get cold
someday currents will  lead me
to somewhere you'd call home

Once a filthy pirate
I reap what i sow
and i don't wanna love
without love from my gold! HA!

its torture
i torture myself
thinking of you
dreaming of you
wishing for you
thinking of you
and thinking some more....
its torture
the pictures
the distance
the memories
the waiting
the wondering
the doubting
the assuring
its torture
i ******' miss her

CLOUDS
spread your wings
she said i cant
i said don't worry  
you'll fly someday
besides, the things you want you got work hard for
but don't you ever work harder than you play
she said thanks for the advice but ill think twice
when it come time to pay
she said as for me
in my nest
in this tree
is where i lay
I'm not ready to fly away

Oh tattered her wing from the weather
but she chooses to be in the rain
and now the thunder brings fire
but she loves to admire her pain

The sun's been trying to get through to you
but your climates controlled by your doubt
you think that everyone living with a smile on their face
is some how living in a drought

Oh that dark cloud you wear as your shadow
as you leave everything in the dark
those clouds will only get darker
and when it storms
we'll know who you are
and you'll find it right to try
you'll find the mite to fly

The sun came out
as she worked hard fixing her wings
then one thought led her to believe
she needed to play harder for these things
as for now we keep flying
as our weather keeps shining
so glad we flew away

Bored as Hell..
sometimes i wanna grow old faster
but i know I'm gonna miss these days
right now it doesn't seem to matter
for all this could only be a phase
'cause its the end of the week
and if you ask me how its been
I'd tell you it felt like last week
and the week before then
i witness the familiar every single day
I'm a victim of this life I've made

Well i found myself
bored as hell
and Im growing impatient
knowing Im waiting
but ill wait my turn
take what I've learned
and day by day
i'll be on my way

The Pile
Is it sad to say
that I'm sad today
Is fair to say
that i've scared away
my smile
Im sick of the stress
but if i pick up this mess
I'm only adding
to the pile
I know a place that nobody knows
laying in my bed inside my head
is where i love to go
when i arrive i can see both sides
the good and the bad
the truth and the lies
when i try to fight off the fight
i know what's inside
i know i cant hide

I took a chance
i took a risk
i felt my hands turn into fists
i shut my eyes
i bit the lip
i was speechless
when i set the pile on fire

I'm glad to say that I'm glad today

Yourself
We all know the right from wrong
but sometimes make mistakes
we'll forgive ourselves someday

We fall like the rest of these leaves
but sometimes wanna be the rake
to sweep the rest away

We all got a story to tell
We all got a life as well

don't break your heart
oh please.. don't break your heart

cause there's no one
as good as you
no one
as good as you
at being you

We crawl like the rest of these knees
but always make it to our feet
then we walk away

we talk with the rest of these teeth
but sometimes a smile can be so cheap
don't be afraid

We all got a story to tell
We all got a life as well

Oh She's..
Oh she's aware of what we share
and my starring eyes declare
that she cares not when and where
but then and there, we stood
and kissed
as if
it were a dare

— The End —
