It's a full moon in the sky.
I can feel a gentle breeze.
I feel like my mind is high,
In the clouds ready to freeze.

The skeptical feelings inside me
Up and down through my blood.
I search for escapades if any,
Out of all this confusing flood.

Silence can sometimes be a sad violence!
And yet sometimes it's nothing but a deep silence.
I ask myself, "Does this all make sense?"
Finding the answer, I end up in trance.

Sparks may fly
And fires roar
But lovers lie
And flames die
And love becomes no more
It hurts, I know
But darling please pick yourself up off the floor
Fix your crown
Don’t you dare let the glorious light you have inside
Fizzle out

I’m an addict
It’s obvious

It’s in the way I drink
Desperately pouring into my gut
To finally let a smile grace my lips
To mask my constant pain

It’s in the things I do at night
Phone in one hand
The other reaching down
Endlessly searching for another wave
Just one more moment of bliss
Before I go back to reality

It’s in the way I swallow my pills
Trying to will them to be stronger
Begging each extra tablet
To be just a little too much

It’s in the emptiness of my soul
The numbness of my heart
The agony in my head
And the recklessness of my spirit
I know it’s inside me
A few years and you’ll see
It’ll be quite obvious
I’m an addict

I was just gone for one day
But then your mind changed anyway
My heart broke into a million pieces today
All I ever wanted was for you to stay

I know that you are happier with her
Maybe it's because you think I'm a loser
I just wanted to dance with you
But I guess I can't even have that with you

I thought you were my friend
But I remembered in "friend" there's an "end"
I just wanted you to stay
But all you did was betray!

I will never love,
As I once loved before.

I will never smile,
As I smiled the day I met you.

I will never hate,
As I once hated them.

I will never cry,
As much as the day you were killed.

Time to sit and listen
Allowing a moment of peace
And quite

Time to sit and listen
What can you hear
A bird
The wind
Or a quite stillness
That might feel strange

Time to sit and listen
And stop the day
To dream of a place that’s tranquil
Not to far away

Time to waste
Time to eat
Whatever time might
Make you think
