Yesterday I played a song

for you over applause

last night I dreamt that you were here

arms open, breath and all

And I don't remember much except

you hugged me while I played

And I gave it all I had to give

so maybe you would stay

I remember how your hands felt on

me willing me to keep on going

playing over the applause

All restraint and shaking lost

tears to the piano flowing

I threw my heart into the keys

My life energy into the air

the rhythm became my heart beat

and you stole me standing there

And put me back where I belong

and I was never scared

at the sound of music I could breath....

Yesterday I played a song

for you over the applause

And I knew that you would love it

if you didn;t have to leave

but when I touched piano keys

I could feel you here with me.

She wakes in the morning
And climbs up the stairs
In the grey dawn pretends
She’s the only one there

She stands under water
And hides in its brace
Letting it burn her skin
Away from this place

She opens the door but
She keeps her eyes closed
She can't read the truth
Etched into the windows

She’s alone in a crowd
And she chooses to be
She’s afraid of the shock
If she set herself free

She’s scaling walls
One brick at a time
Fighting for a reason
To believe she should try

Too far gone she’s so Jaded
Without self-medication
But she's still star gazing'
She doesn’t know why

She knows that she has to
The empty persists
And it makes her feel small
Like she doesn’t exist

She floats through nirvana
On pavement and back
Gets lost under street lights
As grey fades to black

Her wheels turn slowly
Almost at a stand still
She feels like they'll stop
But knows they never will

Too far gone she’s so jaded
Without self-medication
But she's still star gazing'
She doesn’t know why

She knows that she has to
The empty persists
And it makes her feel small
Like she doesn’t exist

And she doesn’t exist
And she doesn’t exist
She likes it this way
Without a purpose

She’s gliding in grey light
And staying up all night
And everything’s alright
If she doesn’t think of it

Too far gone she’s so jaded
Without self-medication
But she’s still star gazing'
She doesn’t know why

She’s scaling walls
One brick at a time
Fighting for a reason
To believe she should try

She’s still star gazing
but she doesn’t know why
But she doesn’t know why

I find myself wearing
a fake heart on my sleeve

So people wont ask
for my real hearts key

In every action is music
in posture and poise
in the tiniest motion
the most beautiful noise

In your eyes I see lyrics
perfect rhythm and rhyme
funny thing 'bout emotion
it doesn't waist any time

In every person's a song
it plays loud and clear
but there always fighting
with the voices I hear

My fingers seem bound
To the strings of my guitar
hope these six little strings
can take my hands pretty far

My lyrics only as good
as the moral I teach
My music only as good
As the people I reach

I hope these strings stretch
so I know I can earn wings
I will learn soon enough
If this caged bird can sing

The child dies along with there dreams,
or so it does seem.
When reality is broken to bits
only the memory is what still exists
We cling to the ever fading image
like a dream rapidly receding with the dawn
parts and pieces slowly lost until the thought is gone
The bits and pieces left behind
are used in an attempt to reconstruct.
The moment that was lost in time
And blew away with the dust
In order to retain the moment
to capture it inside,
there must be something more to it
its so hard to define.

I wake up alone in a dark empty space,
time moved so quickly what is this place?
I've discovered me demons run ramped around this place,
And so I run until I find a familiar face,
One of few warm lights in a world cold as ice,
Other forces pull me away from the comforting light,
It thinks that its doing for me whats right,
But I'm lost int he dark when they pull me away,
Alone in the darkness, no way to **** them or escape.
