A new life springs
A soul it brings
A heart beats fast
Alive at last

Wisdom is shared
With love and care
While stories are told
We will grow old


A heart beats slow
A cold wind blows
An old friend goes
A new seed grows

Thin air is hard to breath
When your running up a hill
So run back down
The air is thicker here

You never understood why I called you a friend. It's not like you were there for me.
I was never there for you either.
We're both unhappy people, I think that was our connection. We rarely spoke.
Just a slight nod when we'd catch each other out for a smoke.
I liked you though. You had a smile that was pleasant, though I knew it was fake.
It's hard to lie with bruises on your face.

I saw you at the store Friday. You walked right by, maybe you didn't notice me.
Maybe I should have iniciated the hi.
We should go out sometime but I'd never ask. Maybe some day I'll gather the nerve.
We could go to the museum on park and sixth. Who am I kidding that will never happen.
I'm the weird guy on the block. Frail with thin hair and a small ****.
But my heart is big and that's what matters right?

We talked again, an awkward hi. I asked if you were alright between the sniffles of your cries.
You smiled and said yes, it's just been a long day.
With my hand on you shoulder I said its ok. I'm leaving she said, going far away.
You won't see me again I'm going today.
She was gone that night But not by car or by plane. It was an ambulance, she ended her pain.

Have a drink
Make it ***
Have some ***
It'll make you come
Do some drugs
You'll see it's fun
You lost yourself
Grab your gun
Now close your eyes
Your life is done

Pieces of me mixed with pieces you,
We're too intertwined, we're two in one,
Your hostility it makes me blue,
Put a smile on and the peace will come through.

Hold me down
Shake me up
Fill me out
Bring me in
I'm your friend
Your my lover
We hate each other
It's just a cover

You do know me.

Hello up there, I can see you
Your beautiful so you blend in well.
I know it's cold, would you like my sweater?
If I could only reach you I could make it better.
Ill embrace you, give you warmth,
And catch you when you fall down.
You are the smart one and I, the clown.
Sky girl come down from there, down here to the ground.

Drifting upward through the Atmosphere
Away from this earth, I'm a ******* space cadet
I've found my place in the universe.
With no worries left, I'll do as I please
I'll throw rocks at the stars and ask Jesus for ****.
Cause remember I'm a ******* space cadet,
Renagade of the air,
With no consequence,
I just don't care.
