Were we that time in a place
Or the place in that time?
Whatever the answer
I guess that it's fine.

But I can never decide
Lord knows how I've tried.
Sat up in the loneliness in the long distance of night
Wondering if one was wrong
Or the other one right.

And at the end of it
I made no sense of it.
In time and place where the staggering minutes will stand up and face you
Look through you, and to you it comes as a shock then
to realise the clock when
it strikes
does not make a mark in the dark where you lay.
Stay there
Stay where the light disappears
and it will never be said that the tears you once shed were seen,but just wasted.

No one can see you when time looks right through you
like the deadbeat
where the day meets his night.
Does time or his place in his time seem alright
Does he run through the legends he's heard
Believe he has shared in that wealth
Does he have good health?

In some life where there's time and the place
in case we should also fall flat on our face
and struggle to rise.
I look into my own eyes and what do I see?
A man that could be, and once was, a man just like me.

Tears will not help,cry if you please
get down on your knees and pray.
In the time and the place of today
we have got to do more than we say.

Stay silent and die
Do not hear the cry
Lie to yourself and say it's okay
Just another today.
the grayness has a way
of coming from the sky
and seeping into the earth
the dark clouds which never produce rain
casting a shadow over the world
the city streets and buildings are overwhelming
the buildings reach up like fingers from the ground
trying to touch the face of God
it was gray today
but it won't be tomorrow
Wide, wide, he opens his eyes , takes a deep breath , stands up high. The bars slide smoothly to the side, they wait for him to step out onto the line. He walks, his legs heavy already, dragging along the cold waxed floor. Never felt this sure before, that this is it. The pinnacle of his existence, the ****** before the grand finale, the last beautiful sunset, this moment takes him back. He opens his eyes and there in front of him flies beautiful chirping birds, hovering above a peaceful meadow, green, plentiful life is abundant here, as he turns back to the cabin built by his own hands, she peaks through the door. Oh how this woman he adores. Many nights they lie there on the porch, how fast the time goes, yet the feeling is infinite, passion, throbbing, pulsating, emulating, vibrations trapped in his mind, breath leaves him shocked into bliss, it is this that he will miss. Back into reality, oh the stormy sullen, prison night. Strapped to the chair that which he shall never stand up from, why would he stay here when he could be in the cabin with the woman of his true reality, a desire so strong, no prison nor death can hold.
Those cuts, the bruises, the burns. It can't be because of me. It can't be FOR me! Doing this is a hateful act. Selfish. For you, and you alone. You are choosing to do it. It's not loving or giving. It doesn't show me that you love ME. What it does show me is that you are willing to hurt others, by hurting yourself. You are truly doing this only for YOU!

Why would I want to be with you if you are doing this? Why would I want to be with you to fix you of this? It only a trap. You want me to be with you so bad that you are willing to trap me in this. You may not even realized it. So sad. I can not fix you, only you can fix you.

I want to be with someone that enjoys life, enjoys others but most importantly enjoys themselves! It might be to late for us, who knows..... But I do know that if the you, you are showing me now, is the you, you want me to love, I DO NOT want any part of that.

Physical pain CAN NOT take away emotion pain. If it did, you'd be cured by now. So a change is needed. I care for you very much and want you to be happy so my advice to you is NO MORE HURTING YOURSELF. Then begin caring for yourself in a way that is loving and nurturing. Start with your beautiful smile. Smile for no reason when no one is around. Smile again making this smile for you. Then smile again, a smile as wonderful as you but do it for others. Smiles are natures medicine. Fill yourself up on them and give them away to others. Fall in love with yourself, beginning with a smile. When you are truly comfortable with you, loving and kind to yourself, you will glow with an attraction that will bring you together with your heart and souls desire.
I woke up at three
She was still laying next to me
Breathing lightly
I kissed her and held her so tightly.
She woke
And spoke to me,
"Can't you go to sleep"?
I wanted to keep this moment forever
To prove that it's never too late
Or you're never that old
To hold onto a dream.
We kiss
On the edge of the precipice
And start falling
In love.

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
    Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
    In the jingle-jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

    Hey, Mr.Tambourine Man, etc.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

    Hey, Mr.Tambourine Man, etc.

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the sun,

It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seeing' that he's chasing

    Hey, Mr.Tambourine Man, etc.
