i had a little kitten he wasnt very well
he had caught a cold and his food he couldnt smell
his little eyes were running and he began to sneeze
i kept him nice and warm so the cold would ease.

he had lost his purr he was really bad
lying in his bed looking rather sad
the next day he was better and he was feeling bright
i had my bouncy kitten back it filled me with delight.

now  my cat was normal his cold had gone way
i sat him on my knee and cuddled him all day

Untie the knot in my throat
So that I can try to speak
Let the air flow to my lungs
So that I can remember to breathe
If I look away in disgust
It’s from the tears that want to run
Don’t mind my smile
It’s the only wall I have

There are too many voices

Inside my head and out

They follow each other

They follow me down

I'm alone in the dark

Screaming to shout

No one is there

"Please get me out"...

They all want to change me

I don't know who I am

This mirror can't help me

There's nothing to see..

Please mute these voices

Please turn on the light

All I want is the moonlight

The sun and the stars..

The wind and the rain

Take me there, wherever you are

I'm alone in a corner

In the dark with my heart

My mind might be broken

But my soul is so stark

Just take my heart for a token

And silent
These whispers*...

I'll pretend for the next few weeks
That life will be splendid
That I don't feel guilty about myself

And how I feel like I dragged you with me

And how I broke myself into shards
To leave this decoy with you
*While I bury the rest in the sand

Yes, darling, maybe now you can see
That I am not all I seem to be
Beneath the innocent laughter displayed
Is a girl brought to her knees in the fray

And in the closet, skeletons scream
As ghosts of my past jump out at me
Yes, everyone left when they saw the dark
There are just too many scars left on my heart

It's only been weeks, but i hope you'll stay
Even after you have seen the fray
Please darling, don't you leave
But I won't blame you,
because nobody could take it, you see.
