My boys, my boys
In the palm of my hand
Wrapped around my finger
By my side they both stand

Daniel was first
Sweet as can be
But Daniel, my Daniel
He cheated on me
He gave me the stars,
The moon and the sun
But when I woke from my dream
My first kiss was gone

Ryan was next
With a kiss of surprise
Loving me right
With those calm, gentle eyes
But he kissed me softly
Then went away
And much like Daniel
He will lead me astray

My heart aches and cries
For one of them again
Wanting their kiss
And their hand in my hand

What am I
Thinking?
What am I
Thinking?
My thoughts are alive
Turned to dreams
Dreams that leave me
Tossing
Turning
Tossing
Turning
All night long



What am I
Thinking?
What am I
Thinking?
These thoughts of old
Have come back to haunt
These thoughts of old
Have returned to taunt
To keep me
Hurting
Crying
Creeping
Weeping
Searching
Lusting
Thinking
THINK­ING

Happy Birthday
To Me

Hush now, listen,
Do you hear that sound?
It's the sound of weeping people
But it isn't very loud

Our world is full of noise,
Technology, laughter, anger
Music booming in our ears
Politics that scream of danger!
But if you listen very close
Listen past the disturbance
You'll find the noise is all a fake
The truth is found in silence

The truth of people wandering like ghosts
Lost in this world of conformity
As they cry out for a hand to touch
Only finding our world of deformity

Hello hello
A brand new friend
How do you do
My brand new friend
I like your hair
Pretty and long
You call me Pig
We now belong
Together us two
We're peas in a pod
Hand in hand
Our smiles quite odd

Hello hello
My best friend
How do you do
My best friend
Tell me your troubles
We've been friends long enough
Hand be your burdens
When things get tough
I'm that friend
With a gentle smile
Who will walk with you
For thousands of miles

Hello hello
My closest friend
How do you do
My closest friend
Your weight is heavy
And so is mine
We pull some harder
Then break our lines
I know less and less
Of your life's great war
Suddenly we're strangers
Again once more

Hello hello
My faraway friend
How do you do
My faraway friend
You've gone far away
And left me behind
No traces of you
You've left me to find
My heart, it aches
But I must pretend
That when I think of you
You're still my friend
For Jadelynn.
My friend.

I see my world in black and white
Painted with shades of gray
All the color has been drained
I pray the rain will go away

Breath in
Breath out

Today was a day
As any other
Today was a day
Unlike any other

I sit with people
Talk with friends
Learn new music
Start new trends

Breath in
Breath out

I laugh, I sing,
I dance with joy
I cry, I weep,
I must destroy

Today I was happy
As any other day
But today I realized
It was the end of my play

Breath in
Breath out

School is coming
As friends draw near
The stress keeps growing,
Anxiety and fear

Breath in
Breath out

Teachers, friends,
Drama, tears,
Homework, stress,
Just two more years

Breath in
Breath out

Summer is over
The fun is gone
Now here comes depression
Just carry on

And
Don't
Forget
To

Breath in
Breath out

--

But out there
The air is thin
And I can't
Quite
Breath
