I long to be free
A controversy of sorts
Follow my lead
I could use the support

I stand apart
From others like me
It’s hardest to start
I’m sure you’d agree

Alone in the dark
It’s true I can’t see
I’ll give you my heart
It’s true, yes indeed

I veer off course
It’s temporary
It’s hard to endure
Through the controversy

I’ll never give up
I’ll enter my plea
I’ll fill up my cup
And plead insanity

When I’m released
I’ll pretend to foresee
A future that’s bright
But that’s just a theory

There are things in life
That you just can’t unsee
Under the knife
Stuck in purgatory

There’s lies I believe
The time is fleeting
A fool for your love
In 100 degrees

Burning, not yearning
The red of my skin
It’s a little disconcerning
Of what could’ve been

A glass jaw, glass heart, and a love you just can’t see
My only hope, is that love is blind,
And only happens randomly

I’ve sifted through my encounters
I’ve had my chits and chats
I’ve weighed in many factors
To decide how to react

Some may run for cover
Others, may form a pact
Some can only pray to God
To help keep their lives in tact

It’s hard to play the hero
To survive every attack
It’s easier just to run away
And hide the guts you lack

There’s far less disappointment
Nobody has to hurt
No need to conjure up the courage
It takes to say the words

Ecstasy, elation, euphoria, sublime
Felt at once
To the extreme
It cannot be denied

Violent, in a not so subtle way
Fierce, the angst inside
Pounding down the corredor
Expecting to divide

To see the glimmer you once sought out
The beaming in your eyes
A joyful resignation
Born to arms, opened wide
The child in the pride
Who fell so far he flied
But he took it all in stride
He made his choice so easily
There was nothing to decide
Words, that led to actions
Only needed to be applied
Time, after time, after time

Written for your eyes to see
Something more than words
A grand illusion of universal thought
Let’s fly higher than the birds
Don’t you get it twisted
There’s been scars and burns
But none of that can take place
If we get what we deserve
But I can still write a tune
And relay back what’s heard
There is no rhyme or reason
Quite simply, it’s absurd
How’d we get things to where they are
It’s cause for our concern
But with every problem there’s a solution
This meeting’s now adjourned.

Dave making way with
One foot in the grave
Saw him hanging out
Just the other day
He was acting kinda strange
Asked me for some change
Then he ran away
In his brand new Chevrolet
Living the life of luxury
Winning at the game
Thinks it’s for forever
But it never stays the same
Nothing lasts forever
Something still remains
I’m stuck on my decision
My conviction does not wane
Too far away to tempt me
The lightning and the rain
Every excuse that I can think of
It’s my duty to refrain
Any and all, secrets galore
Gather for the fire, or it’s Rock and Roll no more
I can see you there
The battle that you’ve won
I pray that there’s no pain
From here to KingdomCome
Then I won’t feel slighted
Then I’ll overcome
There, where I can see it
And there, is where I’m from.

You will and you won’t
You do but you don’t
I can’t ever read your mind
In a sense, I’ve given up

With your twists and your turns
Your fire that burns
I cannot just watch you sitting there,
You’ve got me concerned

Just say the word
And I’ll be there for you
Wherever it is you are
I’ll meet you on the rooftops
Gazing at stars

You’ve touched my heart
Put at ease my poor soul
You do what you want to do
You’re out of control

What makes me love you
The way that I do?
You hurt me with your words, girl
Don’t deny it, it’s true

Nothing seems as memorable
As the day we last met
I spilled my drink on your dress
That every day I regret

You enter, then leave
Without saying a word
Not a “hi” or “how are you”
And act as if you haven’t heard

Whatever the future holds
Long after I’m gone
For the eternity I’ll be away
Please remain calm

Throw me a lifeline
Save me from me
You may be a lunatic at times
But you’re the girl of my dreams
