Welcome to the island of misfit toys
We are just like you
Except we are a little more broken

One sits chugging a bottle straight
As the burning fuel trickles down their throat
Moments before they black out from the world once again

One sits scratching their arm
Craving their next hit
Of whatever drug is strong enough
To numb the pain of reality for long enough to regain his breathe

One girl takes her last breathe
As the colour drains from her face
Without anyone realising
Cause they are all fighting their own demons

A new one joins everyday
Joins this hell we call home
No one stays long enough to get to know them
They are just background noise to the blurry haze

Welcome to the island of misfit toys
I hope you don’t end up here

Hard liquor on my lips
Still doesn't burn as much as you
You may have left
But your taste lingers on
I drink to forget you
Yet every time i’m back in the same place
With your face plastered on my mind
Contradicting comments
And broken promises
Are all that is left until
Sapphire pools draw me back home
Back to the comfort of two arms
Open wide anticipating my return
But not tonight
Tonight I sit alone
Letting the cold poison trickle down my throat
Wondering what in the world went wrong.

I wouldn’t say that I’m in love with you
More the idea of you
The memories, the emotion
The time spent together
That has all changed now
For you no longer look at me the same
The love that used to gleam in your eyes is gone
And all that is left are sour kisses
Placed upon my cheek
In the passing moments we have left together
If I could have a do over
I would turn around and walk the other way
I would save myself the pain and confusion
Because no one has ever made me happier
Or sadder
Than you.

She's what I long to be.
God brought her to me.
Beautiful, loving and kind.
I'm happy to call her mine.

Daughter my parents never had.
To have her I'm so glad.
She knows just what to say.
No matter what, come what may.

Best friend to call my own.
But the coop she already has flown.
So her wisdom she passes on.
We have a special "sibling" bond.

Although not the same descent.
And our relationship recent.
I am proud to call her.
My favourite older sister.

I made a wish once
That maybe one day you would love me.
We would live happily ever after
Just like all the movies.
We would sing and dance
While we watch time fly past
Sit by fires and cuddle
And talk about how we had it good

But no, that wish never came true
Instead you take her dancing
And you sing her beautiful songs
And when the temperature drops
She is the women you sit by the fire with
And think **** we have it good.

I made a wish once
That maybe one day you would love me.
I guess wishes never come true.

Stolen kisses linger on
I can’t believe you’re really gone.
Shadowed figures cross my mind
Both our bodies are intertwined.
Hands gripping tightly around my neck
From the past night I won’t forget.
Gentle fingers caressing my skin
How did this all begin?
Flashbacks dance on freely
How can I be loving you so deeply.
Only a short time has gone by
Now all I want to do is cry.
Why did you have to leave so soon
I’m still staring up at the moon
The stars remind me of you tonight
They are shining oh so bright
They remind me of your eyes
As they dance in their disguise
I wish you were here with me now
So we can take our final bow.
Can I hold one more time
There’s no mountain we can’t climb.
You are the only one I love
Now all my feeling I shall shove
To the back of my mind to keep
Until the next time that we meet
I say my final words to you
Before the night is really through
I will hold this love forever
Nothing compares to when we are together.

The wind in my hair,
Running free without a care.
Jumping high, roaming low,
Me so bold ready to go.
Adventures never seen yet
Dangers being patiently to be met,
Soaring fly, now I can fly.
A smile on my face
Lets you know that I care.
Cuts and bruises yet to bare.
Climbing trees
Or being chased by bees.
Adventures never far away.
Sitting on the grass
Watching the clouds above.
Parents feeling proud
Knowing we are in love.
For these are the days we cherish
Just before we perish
Into adulthood ahead
Because thats what children are like.
