I'm so tired
but you won't let me sleep
anxiety...

you are my constant companion
you've protected me
showed me the truth

you've lied to me
we've lost friends
and even Family for awhile
you always leave me wondering
about everything and everyone

I can't trust myself
I can't trust you
I can't trust them

The only thing I can do
is to accept things the way they are
trust in something bigger
turn it over

Try to be in the moment
and not back look at yesterday
It wouldn't do me any good anyway
Im trying not to look forward too much toward tomorrow
Try to hold it together
you're really racking my nerves
I wouldn't want to ever have a nervous break
                ......down
I wouldn't want you to get back together with depression
The two of you together are nothing but trouble

I hear there's a pill that can make you go away
but really there's no such thing as selectivity dulling emotions
And who's to say anyway
this isn't supposed to be a part of who I am?

We should smile at strangers
        it may brighten up their day

       We should offer a hand to hold
          to  help along on their way
         Instead of seeing differences
      we should see we're all the same
            Everything Is Beautiful
      When there is no place to blame  
            We should never judge
         taking comfort in our sins
     and knowing there is more to life
          than the surface of our skin-

"It is hard to know what is really going on
in someone's life whether we believe we know or not"

I wish could hear
love  and not just hurtful words
I wish  i was more then second class in your life

So  quick   to judge
But can t  see the  logic
So quick  bring up  the past
But forgot  you wore  the same shoes

I  lost hope  
But  my head hurts  from this brick wall
My heart  is not made  of stone
It could be my weakness
For  caring  when i just should  of walked away

How bored did we get?
From here to there
Searching for souls

To be Revealed
Only for true people to see
You can be true

Just look and see
See the world differently
Be who you want to be

Never give up
But watch and see

See the miracles
You might even be one

Think differently
To see other people's pain
Think about what they went through

Before you judge and be in vain.

Tell me,
Who are we to judge?
To sit upon our thrones
And tell people yes, or no.
What's the point?
I'd really like to know...

I'm so much more
than what they see
who judge
based on the little
that they think they know
of me.

Can we rest on the clouds?
With the world at our feet,
Your presence is all that I need.

Can we talk for hours?
With open ears and hearts?
I don’t want to be judged for my damaged parts.

Can we make love?
With music taking lead?
I only wish to give you all of me.

Can we forget the past?
With our broken hearts and lost years?
I now know I want you...know that I care.

Can I plant my lips on yours?
With my eyes wide open?
I want to see you, feel you, with passion too potent.
