The place that I run,

And what I run from—

The boundary begins to fade...

If I repeat you,
Playing you endlessly here,
Will you stay with me?

honestly, just a good beat
and a breath of air
can sometimes mean the world
to a suffocating soul.

Step into my eyes
I know it's not
Going just how you'd like
You just can't see how
Anything could come out right
From your perspective

This mountain's taller than any other
This valley's deeper, the slopes are steeper
Trust me, even when you feel ashamed
I see a love that's greater than your pain

What I see in you
Won't give up now, no
What I see in you
Smiles when you're down low
What you see can't get you down
What you see will turn around
But what I see in you
What I see in you
Can overcome.

Just you look around
There’s more than this
Stress just gets you down
But there’s more than this
If you look through my eyes
You’ll see what I see

This mountain's taller than any other
This valley's deeper, the slopes are steeper
Trust me, even when you feel ashamed
I see a love that's greater than your pain

What I see in you
Won't give up now, no
What I see in you
Smiles when you're down low
What you see can't get you down
What you see will turn around
But what I see in you
What I see in you
Can overcome.

D5
It bothers me so:
My voice cannot reach that high.
I want to awe them,
But I can barely reach D;
So don't laugh now when I squeak.

my mind was a fog...
my heart became a bomb
then the quiet explosion
turning into tiny particles...
floating through empty space
like a valley with no echo
holding your absence
shored against the ruins...
drowning in ten directions
i could hear the water
at the edge of all things
in the middle of this nowhere
hope becomes a loss.

When I just can't sleep at night
You are the one on my mind
As I toss and I turn, turning on the light
Can't leave these mem'ries behind.

Day in, day out
I think about
What has come,
What is done
What you said
How you won.
The less it hurts
The more it burns
The more I think
The less I've learned.


In the morning, blinds are closed
Lights just hurt my eyes today
My tested heart never knows
How my emotions are gonna play.

Day in, day out
I think about
What has come,
What is done
What you said
How you won.
The less it hurts
The more it burns
The more I think
The less I've learned.


And when I look for answers
The questions have already gone
And as my heartrate dances
I find I'm searching for the dawn.

*I know I'll learn.

One comfort that I find
Is that when there is no music in my ears,
                                               or in the air,
There is always music
                                     in my heart.
Quenya for 'the music of the heart/mind/soul.'

I was going to write a poem
But I got lost
And when music captures you
It doesn't want to let you go.

“Why do you listen to metal,”
I'd always wanted to ask.
“It's because I always want to scream...
No one lets me, but I'm glad you asked.”

My heart is open, speak Your truth
I’m waiting for Your word
For I know that You’re the only one
Who can heal my every hurt.

My eyes are open, show Your face
I’m waiting for Your love
For I know that You’re the only one
Who can fix my heart up.

Open me, I’m asking You:
Take and break these chains;
Flood my heart with mercy
And blind my eyes with grace.

My hands are open, take Your glory
I was stealing it all for me
But I know that You’re the only one
Who deserves my bended knee.

My mouth is open, take Your praise
I’m tired of praising my own name
For I know that You’re the only one
Who can make that claim.

Open me, I’m asking You:
Take and break these chains;
Flood my heart with mercy
And blind my eyes with grace.
Open me, I know it’s You
Who holds a hurting heart
Drown my soul in Your love
And heal my every scar.

Sometimes, if someone told me I lived in Candyland,
I'd agree because my music is so bubbly,
My outfit is so bright,
And my disposition is ecstatic.  Frankly.
