Mother, mom, madre, love.
You and I fit like a glove

Mother, mom, madre, friend.
You help me with problems I cannot mend  

Mother, mom, madre, teacher.
You are smarter than most preachers

Mother, mom, madre, God-send.
You taught me how to believe again

Mother, mom, madre, and more.
You are strong to the core!

Bad things will happen, and bad things have come
...but I'll always be your daughter

To my mother, mom, madre, and most of all love. God is watching us from above!
My mom is my everything.. and today is the day we celebrate her birth.
If you stay still, silent and out of the way,
People will walk by without even knowing you're there.

How many things do you miss as you live your life?

Out of corners that look empty and corridors that blend together
The truth will appear

Blink your eyes open

I'm waiting there.

There's an ocean in my mind,
dissolving in dissonance.
As fragments of reminisce,
Stab me like knifes.
Lighthouse in my heart
started flickering,
the moment you set sail.
I love nostalgia
it makes me cry
Thinking of those good times
when I used to feel alive
Never thought about what it would be like to die
I almost know how it feels to start losing a life
Shaving days off of mine without blinking an eye
You'd think I'd pull the trigger with all this talk of goodbyes
But I'll never fully grasp the concept of why
I want to break down in front of a stranger
I don't want them to ever know my name
I feel safer spilling my doubts on paper
I want to hear from those who feel the same

"Sailing ships never sink.
They just set out, out to sea.
I can feel you in the breeze.
I can hear you speak."

My ship sinks inside a half empty bottle of liquor.
Everything I love, everything I hate, became all the same.
If this has gotten the best of me where was I at my best?
I used to live life with a noose around my neck.
Now I live life hanging from its last thread.

Mind and heart fight
what is wrong or right,
Yet no reason to strive
when he makes her feel alive
