Im tired of this technology
it keeps us talking in this absence
i for this i will understand its importance
i wish you could sit down and talk with me

i know who you are
and i know who you ain't
and technology keeps this love thing faint
when before it would die because you're too far

Im tired of this technology
i wish you could sit down and talk with me
Tonight I cannot sleep
So come to me
Fill my head with dreams
Of love-making and risk-taking
Of your sweet hellos and tender goodbyes
Or better yet love
Be my dream
And never again will I need
The quiet comforts of sleep

Today I stopped
I looked around
A long deep breath
A sigh out loud

How long have I
Been in this place
And never noticed
Solemn grace

The air around
The trees alive
The clouds above
The endless sky

A morning dew
A ray of sun
A summer breeze
Alone with one

At the edge of the bed-
black ice
on my face
because you can't
see these tears
but you can feel their pain

Refrain-
from telling me I need to change
I will never
not for you
to keep from going insane

It's plain
to me
my back to your body
You have never loved me
you only loved my body
But not its innards
Its facts
Its unsightly gaps

Keep your criticisms to yourself-
you want to improve me
But I'm comfortable with this
hatred, it's coursing through me
Running
full speed
adrenaline pumping

I know what I'm changing
it's you that I'm dumping
The more you talk,
The more you lie.
Keep your words
In your mouth.
Didn't your mother
Teach you to chew before you speak?
You are all the same.
