I find myself stuck often times
Like someone drinking stale wine
And though I know the words to say
I tell myself not today

There so much that I do hide from you
So much you don't even have a clue
I'm hanging on by a rope that's turned to a string
But if I let go it may sting

There's a thousand different ways to confess my love
Each one there won’t be any white doves
Because you are unsure of what you want
A lonely heart out on the hunt

I would wait a lifetime
Perhaps that is the true crime
So, tell me now, before I go
Because I love you so

Call him a writer, call him a fighter
He'll just sit there and flick his lighter
Call him a poet, he'll laugh a bit
Deep inside its true he knows it

They say he's a man of his time
But to himself he lacks the words to rhyme
Some would say a true visionary
Born from words of the dictionary

A man raised on a hard grown spirit
That gets high off his own lyrics
Even through a smile he’ll deny
That his own words can fly

Those who know him call him out
But he hides in the shade, so no leaves can sprout
Ideas locked in the mind of his own
Words and letters that could never atone

Atone the deprivation of his creativity
Until then it'll stay locked away in captivity
For how long? Noone could really know
Because to himself, he has nothing to show

Call him a denier, Call him a liar
Tell him to show his true desire
A writers' high, its words he feens for
Call him a coward for not writing anymore

I picked you some flowers today
I tried to write you a poem
But I couldn't find the right words to say
Or perhaps I just didn’t know em'

I listened to your favorite songs
And laughed to your old jokes
My has it been so long
Are we turning into old folk

Yes, today was full of your Memories
The good and the bad
All of the love and energy
For the first time I wasn't sad

I was happy for what was
And grateful for what is now
Also, thankful just because
It taught the how

How to love as I should
Enjoy the moment for what is
To not get caught up in what can be misunderstood
So, here's to you Miss:

The lighter of flames
True loves to blame

There's a full moon tonight
As I sit and wonder
If you see it shinning just as bright
It gives my mind something to ponder

I know we said we’d live and laugh
That we would love with no regrets
But right now, it feels like I’m missing my other half
If only I knew how much time we had left

Maybe I would have hold you a little closer
Or fought for us a little harder
Maybe that would have given us some closure
But I couldn't be that kind of martyr

Yet still I see you in my dreams every night
And every morning I'm left in the same scene
Wishing you'd come back and tell me I'm right
Then I wouldn't be stuck here in between

In between loving and losing you
Either way there's no way to fake
What causes me to feel so blue
Only for you could my heart ache

There's a full moon tonight
As I sit and wonder
If you see it shinning just as bright
It sure makes my mind sit and ponder

The day is normal as any other day
Johnny wakes up for school with a note by his bed
His mom tells him to behave and apologies she couldn't stay
He gets up and combs the hair on his head

On the way to school he cuts through the rail-yard
He stops for a minute to put some pennies on the track
On the way out he slips past the old guard
Times dwindling down, he knows he has to pack up the slack

At school he’s greeted by no one
He sits alone in his class, dreaming of escaping
Pondering to himself if it could really be done
As he stares out the window at the landscaping

When school is out, he rushes to the local diner
He scarfs down enough food to feed a family of four
As if he hasn't had any food that's finer
After he's finished, he still asks for more

On the way home he collects his now flatted pennies
He tucks them away in his pocket
Back at home he has plenty
He’s saving up to buy a rocket

A rocket to fly away from here
To go somewhere only he will know
So, then he will no longer fear
If only he was able to go

By the time he gets home, the sun has faded away
He walks through the door and shuts it lightly
He looks to broken glass on the ground with a loss of words to say
And he holds his fist ever so tightly

Before he can take another step, he is pushed to the ground
He feels a drop of beer hit his face
He looks up and his father ask if his mother has been around
Johnny doesn't answer, his father calls ham a disgrace

A few more bottles are thrown in anger
Johnny is then thrown and locked in his room
He wishes she could have taken him with her
And not leave him to this doom

Johnny cries though the night
Praying for a chance to leave
To fly away like a kite
He wonders if his being too naïve

When he wakes the day is as normal as any other day
Johnny wakes up for school with a note by his bed
His mom tells him to behave and apologizes she couldn't stay
He gets up combs his hair and wishes his father was dead

Sun, sun, sun, stay awhile
For the world can be so vile
What's it like up there
Is the weather fair

Sky, sky, sky, fly me away
Take me and leave me somewhere to stay
As I look on the beauty of earth
Provide me a new life to give Birth

Oh river, river, river take me down stream
Help me to realize what it all means
Am I tired or am I true
Let me try your shade of blue

Mr. Moon, moon, moon let me shine
And tell me everything will be just fine
For in the darkest of the nights
You're still beaming bright

Sun, sun, sun let me undo what’s been done
For you and I have had a good run
Just set the back down to rest
And know I really did try my best
