With A Soul Like Mine

With a soul like mine who could sit still.

How can I see a sunset and not want to chase it down?

How can learn about something I don't want to do,

And see the full circle come around?

Strange Hit

Took a strange hit.
Built the life of my dreams,
Still the pieces won't fit.
I want to rearrange it.

Stack in one hand of the pieces all mixed up.
Count my regrets on the other hand,
Then throw away the lot.
Make room for a happy thought.

So I go in my dreams,
And I'm walking in the rain,
Soaking wet blue jeans,
Big Smile Beams
Get to a place where me and happiness meet.

Keen familiarity.
Knowing what I need and I run,
Towards the right path.

Would it be feasible,
Could it be easier?
Please let it ride.
This is my kind of life.  
Wake up to reality,
a sharp stinging knife.

Mismatch It

Mismatch it

Fucking Fantastic

Twist the words I said up,

Then offer to gift wrap it.

Is there anything else?

You plead insanity.

What exactly does that have to do with me?

Don't try to cover reality

With clouds of bullshit matter.

You're unbelievable...

So scattered.

Matter of fact you're exactly,

The part of this world I could do without effortlessly.

So you might want to go back into your little corner of the world.

It's the one I don't lose sleep over.

You've given me plenty of reasons to shut you out.

Reword it,

Try and re-earn it.

Can't cross that bridge 

Unless you can unburn it.

Everyone here knows you 

don't have a heart of gold in,

They won't believe an ounce

of what you told them.

And the poor few who have

bought what you sold them

Will see it all eventually.

When they come back at you,

I hope you think of me.

Forsaken Life

Little girl only knows the ways of her little world.
She doesn't know her life is bad.
Why would she doubt the choices of her Mom and Dad?
Put out of home and bounced around,
Told everyone else was bad.
Little girl, poor little girl,
Naive for that I'm glad.

What is wrong with you?
How did you do such damage no one can undo?
Maybe I would understand if I took a walk in your shoes,
But I refuse to chance catching crazy.

At the root of it all,
Your sadness radiates.
When times just get to be too much,
You self medicate,
The pain away but just for now.
But relief, it comes too late,
Try you might to numb yourself,
As pain does lie in wait.

So why do you hold on?
Live to sleep, why do you wake?
What's the point of living,
When Life you so forsake?
We hurt for you although in vain.
With our hearts bleeding
We put your name in prayers,
But no amount of pleading,
Penetrates one so unaware.  

Never There

It wasn't a good thing.

Don't know why I thought it would work out.

Couldn't see myself moving on without

The one I thought I wasn't myself without

After all this time, you still treat me like I'm someone you could casually throw out

Though I'm wondering why my love still stands strong

I see it wasn't a good thing

You were never there to move on.

Behind the Picket Fence

Build a picket fence made of dreams and normal things,

Normal life

Follow selfish dreams until you create a new life

Born to fly aimless and free,

Abundant spontaneity.

Young life, unfocused eyes

Folkie selfish dreams until you create,

New life.

Build a picket fence made of dreams an normal things,

Normal life

And in this life sometimes it takes

Something profound to jolt you awake

To turn your perspective from askew

Change why you do the things ya do

Hello baby girl, I'm your Mommy, how are you? Let's start anew.

Getting By

On the upside of a down swing.

Six feet up from losin' everything.

Far from cloud nine, 

But better than where I've been.

Staring at far gone makes

getting by seem okay again.
