I know what I want
But if I'm smart
I won't take it

I know what they want
And If I'm smart
I'll take it

But I want what I want
It is what my heart yearns for

University of Washington
You are my love

University of Wisconsin
You are my brain

Which to choose, my heart or my mind?

Run away with me for a
day. Let's go to a place
that's surrounded by
mountains and a lot of
green forest trees. A place
where the flowers will sigh
and blush when they see
us kiss and touch. A place
where we'll get to be the
normal us. Away from the
public away from the law.
Away from those with judging
eyes and the haters dressed
in disguise. Let's run away
so far away. Where we could
kiss and hug. And talk about
our dreams with passion to
one another. A place where
I could scream the words of
I love you out loud while I
feel so confident and proud.
A place where you'll take my
hand and count to three. Lean forward and ****** a kiss
from me. A place where we'll
make a little bonfire and
have some coffee and tea.
Stare for hours at the blue
skies. Watch the dandelion
seeds and pollen grains float
away up high. Wait for the
stars to come out at night.
Where we'll be the only
audience waiting to watch
the show they'll pull on. The
only lovers up late in the
open wild. The only ones
who'll appreciate the light
they'll radiate in the dead
of night as they'll shine
bright in the dark
skies* ~
I'm not one for sentiments
But there is love and possibility
So much hatred in the world
Why not give kindness a shot
If I am going to be free
Free from all kinds of oppressions
I have to give up the selfishness
That I am smarter than life
I have gone insane from theologies
And religion hasn't saved my soul
The past is exactly what it is
Can I ever go back? No.
I've taken hard knocks to know
Only what experience has taught me
There's only one thing I need to know
Life's a *****, no point in it
Can't I just accept there are possibilities
That are beyond my puny mind of mine
Things that can't be seen but are there
I can't see love but I can feel it
It's in the air and the smell is sweet
Why should I let there be peace?
It's because I haven't got the energy
To hate just one more day

From a sun spitting its tears of flame
From those fires borne, the dragon came
And oh wonder, a foolish earth did seek to tame

Its claws were like molten iron, two eyes of that same ember flame
Its every step shook and scorched the ground, every breath evanished the rain
Its roar rattled bones and stilled hearts in their *******
And such a glare, few had a match or such courage to test

Upon burning wings and on its igneous cries!
A dragon heaved fire and set ablaze to the skies!
And none, righteous nor wicked, had darkness to hide

But it t'was not done for justice, nor to rally fears
T'was done simply because the sun had shed her tears.

Lead me along to the end of the line
Where I’ll take all my woes and leave them behind
Step by step the world draws near
When time resumes so will the fear
Fight, fight, fight
It burns, this raging of the light
These walls have stood strong from the day they were risen
So now begins the cataclysm

It shakes and shakes, right to the hollow in my heart
It break and breaks, the walls begin to part
With silver string I try to tend
Frantic stitching meant to mend
Silver straining to hold the pacts
Struggling to close the growing cracks
But in the end the walls cannot hold
In the end my defenses fold
And in and in the tides invade
The one thing that all have obeyed

The time, the time
It is here
Now there is no stage for fear
The stone does crumble
The earth does rumble
Dodge the rocks as they tumble
For here is the wave as it washes through
Even if you have not a clue
Wave your arms and kick your legs
Swim the currents you must brave

So I swim, I swim for the shore
Sink fingers in the beach, aching and sore
I’ve lost the silence I knew before
Wild and untamed life abound
Terrifying beauty does surround
Ecstasy and agony walk hand in hand
As I roll to my back on this bed of sand
The gilded cage is torn asunder
Bared to the world, this splendid wonder

You led me along to the end of the line
Hiding from the world was my crime
Take a deep breath
Prepare for immensity
Take a big step
Because courage is necessity

I lost my heart to a dame called fame
And every day I worshiped her the same
Adoration and power, everyone knew my name
Every step and twirl drew me deeper into her game
I found myself dancing on a slippery ledge in the rain
Until my feet bled and what I lost was much more than I gained
When I could dance no more she twirled into another's arms
Seducing new lovers with her old flashy charms
Who knew not the dues by which she set their alarms
She left me behind, limping and all used up
All because I proved I loved fame far too much
Sold off little bits of my soul for the favour of her smiles
But fame does not love you back, it simply beguiles
Mesmerized just like a
flying moth to the flame.
I hear your soul, it's crying out
to me and calling my name.
It's far too tempting to stop,
And way too hard to resist.
Got me wishing, thinking,
what I wouldn't give for a kiss.
