Introduce yourself, Stargazer.
An introduction you'd like?
Would it be worth the fight?
Where would you be left at,
defending the gun or the knife?


Don't complicate things,
I've explained to you why,
expose to the people
what you've failed to hide

I've told you, you know,
hundreds of times!
You don't want to see
what I've locked deep inside...


I know you don't want to,
I know it must hurt,
but fearing to speak freely
is a waste of your words

You think you understand it,
you think you'll be fine
but you haven't even dreamed of
the images in my mind...


Come to me,
slow down and breathe,
have you ever heard the birds
sing their sweet melody,
high up in the tree tops,
effortlessly?

you know that I have
they sing to the cat
that sits there and listens
while they sit there and laugh..

...

Don't lecture me please, I'm not in the mood
I'm doing everything you taught me not to
And successfully so, I think I'm doing just fine,
        The only thing I ever asked was that you kissed me goodnight


Sweet innocent girl, her wisdom in you shows,
she's speaking through you, every where that you go
So disregard the rule that said keep your mouth closed,
Speak as loud as you'd like, in the garden they grow

I  exposed him to my secrets,
instead of locking them away
I closed my eyes and told him,
about every single day


What will he do if he knows,
did you consider cons before pros?
Don't stand there and wait,
watching another one go

I trust him you see,
its awkwardly unique
I'm cautiously curious
without wants or needs


Be careful young lady,
don't jump in with both feet,
If you can't see the bottom,
You can't tell how deep

How long must I stay,
one toe at a time,
as though giving up,
was suddenly a crime


Its sensitive love,
you must understand,
the heart he keeps hold of,
will never leave his hands

I want to break free,
I want to shed that skin,
I want to be better,
then I was with him..


You can be anything you want to be,
I watch you dream as far as your eyes see
seeing the world, one day at a time,
is the way she imagined you'd live your life...
