Fly Away

You wanted to
So I told you to
Now we run in circles

It didn't take long for us to drift away and drown
In the sound
And it
Didn't take long for us to run away
Leave this town to die tonight
We want
Something new
To
Do

And you wanted to fly away
Find something else
Find something new
So I told you to spread your wings
Open your eyes
Come with me
And
Fly
Away

The past is the past
And we're never looking back
Until
We find what we want
Our sight is set
On the future
What tomorrow brings

And you wanted to fly away
Find something else
Find something new
So I told you to spread your wings
Open your eyes
Come with me
And
Fly
Away

We soar through the sky
Dance in the clouds
Bask in the sun
Try to touch the stars

But they found a way
To take us down
They clipped our wings
In a shower of feathers
But we're still searching
We'll keep searching

I can fly without wings
Just
Cling
To the dream
You can fly without wings
Just
Cling
To the dream
We can fly without wings
Just
Cling
To the dream

And you wanted to fly away
Find something else
Find something new
So I told you to spread your wings
Open your eyes
Come with me
And
Fly
Away

You wanted to fly away
(We can fly without wings)
So I told you to spread your wings
(Just, cling, to the dream)
They clipped them feather by feather
(We can fly without wings)
Now we run in circles
Searching for something new

You wanted to fly away
Just
Cling
To the dream
Fly away
Fly away
Today
(Tonight)

Leave It to Imagination

Have you ever been mad at yourself?
Ever hated the whole world
Just because?

Have you ever wanted to...?
Ever wanted to...?

Have you ever seen your dreams just collapse?
Ever had your hopes crushed to dust?
Have you ever wanted to...?

Ever been fed nothing but lies?
Only to find
Nothing's what it was
Nothing's what it seems

Have you ever woken up
With the taste of failure
In your mouth?

Have you ever just wanted to bleed?
Have you ever closed your eyes
Shut tight
So you wouldn't see?

Have you ever wanted to...?
Ever wanted to...?

Transition

I wish I could sing
Like an angel
But I'm a demon
I wish I could play
An instrument
But I'm too lazy
The learning curve is high
Maybe
It's too late
But I know
What I want to say

Scar to story to song

She was my one
My only
But she left me
They made me believe
I could do anything
But I watched it all
Fall
With me
Crash and burn
Rise from the ashes

Scar to story
Scar to story
Story to song
Story to song

Scream
At the top of your lungs
We can take those words
And make lyrics
So scream
At the top of your lungs
We can take those words
And make some lyrics
For a song

Pain to message
Pain to message

Scar to story
Scar to story
Story to song
Story to song

Transition
The transition
Transition
The transition

Cupid Spared Me No Arrow

Another day
Without you
An ordinary day
In February
Another night
Without you
Words written
For you

Valentine
Valentine
Will you be my
Valentine?
Valentine

More roses
For the lovers
Kisses and hugs
My roses
Are withered
Waiting too long
For you
How much longer?
For you

Valentine
Valentine
Will you be mine?
Valentine
Valentine

Sorry to say
This is the last day
I'll wait
I have to move on
With my life
Another page
In this story
Another girl
Left behind
Another love lost

Goodbye
Valentine
Goodbye
Valentine

My Method to Writing

Words just seem to string together in my mind
They form phrases that I like
The trigger to my inspiration is always different
Something I hear
Something I see
That's the moment I write the best
I think
My goal is to reflect emotions
The things everyone knows
Maybe oepn your eyes to something new
As for the way I write it
The style
Prose is always good
But I tend to rhyme
Sometimes I'm not even aware of it
Other times I do it on purpose
Sometimes it's meant to be a song
Going by my own beat
Or imitating the rhythm of another
Possibly songs you don't know
Or maybe your favorites
I don't know
Maybe you like them
Maybe you don't
I think songs are poems
And poems are songs
Or maybe I'm wrong?
I prefer lyrics
Writing from experience
Is the best in my mind
You write what you know
You know what you write
Scars are stories
Waiting to be told

Teenager

No longer a child
Not yet an adult
Trying to find my place
Trying to find a home
Find where I
Belong

Don't judge me by
My blood
Don't judge by flesh
And bone
If you must, then,
Judge me
By my heart
My intentions

Feeling like I'm wasting away
This town's going no
Where fast
And they tell me and tell me
Again and again
That this
World's coming to an end
It's only a matter
Of time
What if
Time's on my side?
I choose
To live this life

Don't judge me by
My blood
Don't judge by flesh
And bone
If you must, then,
Judge me
By my heart
My intentions

I want to change the world
Even if it's by one heart
One person at a time

My eyes are bloodshot
My mind, exhausted
My cramping wrist
My heart, still dreaming

Anarchy or Something Like It

Hold tight
Lest lose your mind
Sanity is your best bet
Dreaming
Will only get you so far
Hold on
It'll be alright
Hold your heart up high
Reaching for tomorrow
Clean this mess
Order the chaos
Find a method to madness
Clean this mess
Order the chaos
Find a method to madness
Is there reason to hope?
I don't know
But I believe
I believe
There's tragedy
Hold tight
Lest lose your mind
Sanity is your best bet
Dreaming
Will only get you so far
Hold on
It'll be alright
Hold your heart up high
Reaching for tomorrow

I
Hold the key to my conscience
I
Hold the key to my conscience
I
Hold the key to my conscience
I hold the key

Reaching for tomorrow

Tragedy,
Come follow me

Hold tight to your mind

Hold your heart up high

Clean this mess

I believe
I believe
I hold the key

Unlock my conscience
Open my mind
Open my eyes

Reaching for tomorrow

Nowhere to Go

I want to run away
But everywhere
Everything I see
Is the same damn thing
Over and over and over again
There's no changes

There's got to be something better
Further away
There's got to be more than this
Please tell me there's something more than this
I hope there's something more than this

Another day
Another victim
Another love
Another loss

This city's driving me insane
As shallow as the next
Fleeting hope is all I have for it

I want to run away
But everywhere
Everything I see
Is the same damn thing
Over and over and over again
There's no changes
I want to run away
