We may have seen it coming
Yet it still seemed a surprise
The life had left your body
Before you closed your eyes
...

Twice you've come with hello and left me with the goodbye of others
Now you've come again and I pray you leave alone
Don't steal another piece of my heart
Don't break my world
...

Freedom!
From what?
From governments which dictate what we can and cannot do?
From strangers who judge us without knowing who we are?
...

It starts on the inside,
A soft little tug...

Next thing you know
...

There was a time my only friend
Was a wall so quiet and still.
It did little
But little it needed do
...

I struggle to swim in an ocean of tears
And the gentle pull of its sobbing waves

Come they say, as they lure me in
...

High supply
Low demand
Pull back and
Reverse it.
...

Made for shame
Worn with pride
This band on my arm is mine
Yellow star
...

I am more than I show
I am more than you see
I am sure lots gets lost
Between you and me
...

I'll take the grass and greenery
The yellow and the sun
Give me lots of pretty roses,
Either pink or red
...

I close my eyes
Travel back in time
To a kitchen where both of them are.
Grandfather's sitting
...

I'm trying not to hate you, love
But some feelings I can't rise above

I hope you know I wish they'd end
...

Up down
Up down
Steady now
Breath to breath to breath
...

Heavy heart
You cannot fly
With such a heavy load
You need release
...

Well, father's all slouched
Asleep on the couch
Surrounded by bottles galore,
And I have no doubt
...

Bought some time
with another lie

Now everything's 'fine'
...

It comes in waves
And stays for days
Brushing the heart
Tickling the mind
...

We all get gray
Sometimes,
Forgetting all
Those silver lines,
...

You're supposed to be my rock,
But you're not.
You're the type of solid ground that starts to sway then fades away,
A calm sea with a brewing storm as its essence.
...

No moon tonight
There is no light
Darker shades
Both inside and out
...
