Sometimes you worry me
Send me down spiraling
And bring me up again
I hate the fall, free for all
But you know I love you
I’d miss you if you fell
Knee-high quicksand
Arms above help you hold
Hold your own, alone
You falter and flinch
I can’t help to fall an inch
Soon it’s up to my eyes
Doesn’t matter, mouth-drown
Never listened to me
Anywa–

If I could tell you anything
I'd say call me
Let me take your hand
When things go wrong
Smile for the good days
Long gone now
Like a dandilion in the grass
I'll be there
To brighten the day
I hope you will always see
The luck in a lost penny
Like me

Here I sit on the Edge of Everthing
The beginning of a New Life
A Death of something Precious
From Here I could go Anywhere
I could forsake it all for Money
Waste it all for Love
Maybe I'll learn to fly
Leave them all Behind
Chances are if I Leap and Fall
I'll never get There
But if I don't, how will I ever know?

If you can hear me
I am waiting
Pen in hand
Hope in heart
When I am near
You run far
I can't hold the hand
Of one so lost
Help me understand
My shoulder
For your tears
If you'd say
I'd hear you
And we could be
And let the world
Be

I know more than you think
I know more than you want me to
And I've never told a soul

I know a million secrets
I know a million heartbreaks
And I've never turned a blind eye

I've never held on to pity for very long
I've never let the problems pass me by

And I know all about you
And I know about everything
You'd never let me know

The questions rolling around my head
Won't let me see the light
They make it hard to hear the voices in my heart
Constricting, sliding, slithering in and out of holes in consciousness
I can't  feel the bottom or see my way to the top
All that I desire lies just out of reach
The moment I let go I hear the rattles shaking back
Can't quite see where or get there yet
Scales slide I've yet to find a way out
Save to close my eyes and see the snakes imbedded in my brain
Somewhere far and distant there are apple trees
Fruits of red and yellow fill my questions find my needs
Poison they'll bring to venom and words will be crushed
Rattles will break and rust

Paper hearts and plastic schemes
I'm dreaming of the moments in between
Can't see my face or touch my hand
I know I am alive I just can't say when
And all the glitter in the world can't mask
The pain of losing hopes when dreams
Stay dreams
