Mirror Mirror, tell me why
That all my heart knows is goodbye
Lonely flowers cannot grow
And what you feel, I can not know
I'll be here waiting in the stars
Right where you left my heart
A thousand stitches to my mind
Shattered pieces you left behind
Mirror Mirror, help me now
Bring her back to me somehow

They say love is patient
They say love is kind
There's no feeling nor gem
That can match romance divine
They say to love with your being
But you don't hear a caged bird sing
Pace my heart, still my mind
Love is something you leave behind
I love you with my heart, though that's not all
The heart can be broken, so I love you with my soul
Trust me when I tell you, there is Someone up above
If there was not, I could not feel this love
Whispers in the night echo in my ears
When I cry, you're in all my tears
You've wondered how can I love you, and oh how I've yearned
But if there's anything I've learned
Patience is a virtue, more sacred than gold
Temptation may be strong, but on to you I'll always hold
So fall when you're ready, I'll be right here
I'm going nowhere, have no fear
Love as you are, do what you can
And when the time comes, I'll hold your hand

Searching for happiness at seventeen
There were few and far in between
Feeling lost and completely left out
But an angel made something sprout
There were logs but they were missing the flame
Then the day came where nothing was the same
I fell for you in this messy town
Didn't know it was a long way down
Every drop of rain fell too
As hard as I did just for you
For a while my whole life was a song
You made me feel as though I belonged
Then there came the day of the storm
Left me all alone and torn
Never loved someone quite that way
If only I could've made you stay
Too fast, too slow
I just didn't know
We passed by in years of quiet
Almost impossible for me to fight it
The flame rekindled deep inside
We left the whole world way outside
Roses blossomed where there were thorns before
You were all I wanted, couldn't possibly want more
Every dream I've had, so real
Promised things I'd never feel
Sudden in darkness, intervention divine
Made me realize you were fine
I found contentment in your joy
Guess I'm just a masochistic boy
Even though before, my heart was broken
To you my heart is always open
Shot by bullets right in the chest
While you're my bullet proof vest
Tonight you will be in my dream
Just like you were at seventeen

On a quiet little night in a quaint little room
I feel a little frightened at the darkened loom
And in the distance I hear a screech that pierces the wall
From the vibrations the vases and pictures fall
Insane as I am I inspect the scream
For all I know she could have just had a bad dream
But nightmares don't sleep and the riches aren't enough
She can't be a human; her skin is too rough
I turn around to see what touched me on my arm
From the moment I see him I already feel harm
He bites down so suddenly and the pain transcends
Why do happy beginnings have terrible ends?

It was a sad day, we were gathered all around
You were laying on the bed, in your favorite evening gown
You made me who I am, and who I always will stay
Touched so many lives, and I miss you to this day
It's hard to be without you, but I'll never say goodbye
I know you were suffering, and now you're learned to fly
Truly you are still with us, guiding us where we should go
I wish you were still with us,  missing you more than anyone can know
When the rain falls from the clouds, I can almost see you there
Every time I am reminded to remain self aware
So glad to have known you, to have something to remember
Your voice echoes out, and I hear you in September

Underneath the glistening stars
In a town of love and abandoned cars
We lie on our backs and gaze at fall's season
Our emotions running wild, we don't need a reason
Two young lovers risking it all
Making our own heat in the coolness of fall
Lived all of this new life without a single care
It takes me back when I brush back her hair
I find myself strong, not easy to break
Yet just one simple kiss is all it could take
When my lips touch hers, I feel so insane
At the same time, I know my sanity shall remain
Skin on top of skin, her breath hot on mine
A feeling never felt, but oh so richly divine
Whenever I may be lost, I look in her eyes
She knows quite well I could never tell lies
Now in this closing, I must bid you adieu
I must enjoy these moments, while my freedom still rings true

The Earth is not all dead and cold
Wisdom is not always just found in the old
The sky turns black but it always turns blue
Each day presents itself with something else new
In the air you breathe are years of existance
Polluting it are those of nature's resistance
When you can't see the sun, look to the moon
The stars will teach you their melodic tune
The Heavens above are what we seek for down here
Yet it is what we crave that we massively fear
Why can't we wake up to a happier mind?
To retrieve all that innocence long ago left behind?
Once a man asked me if I knew all to be told
I told him "No sir, I am far too old"
