Let the sunlight peak within the cracks and emerge
From the deep, dark shadows of the dusk from
The night before. Darling, let it force and urge
You out of bed as you face the day. Let it numb
The sleep that would not arrive as you lay tossing
And turning in your messy bed. The dry drought
Is forgotten. It is a new bridge you will be crossing
Over and into another day. Let us forget about
Mistakes and errors you already made because
The bright sun will erase them all just like that.
It serves as a reminder to enjoy every pause
And lingering moment when the sun is not flat.
_____________________________________
My whole life, I've been silent
You hear me speak but you've never heard me
Only seek me out when I meditate peacefully
Only came to interrupt and disturb me
Change the direction of the paths I'm walking on
Steer me away from happiness and into the wrong directions
So I develop dependency on you
And begin to mistake your manipulation for affection
Something wicked in your eyes and something sinister in your motives
Clipped my wings so I could never fly
And left me shipwrecked in the ocean
You don't have any real love or devotion
Yet convincing me that mine isn't good enough
Claiming that what we have is what's meant to be
When you could never even reach my love
Undeserving of my touch and not worthy of my passions
Because Lord knows my heart's value
And that my passions everlasting...

I want to live on the edge and do something reckless.
Kissing a stranger at midnight. Dancing in the middle of
The street while wearing rings, bracelets and necklaces
Drenched in diamonds. Finding some way to fall in love
With someone I know I shouldn’t while screaming at
The top of my lungs and jumping from an airplane.
Drinking alcohol until the world is tilting. Taking a bat
To smash car windows and slash tires. Break or sprain
My ankles until I can no longer move. Laying down on
The sidewalk and simply looking at the stars. Fleeing
From this town, turning into a ghost and being gone.
Having someone to care that much about my well-being.
