Turn off all the lights Let the moon shine low Hear my heart beat pound Ten feet off the ground Sailing through the stars All the colors bend I won't go back again I feel the sparks Takin' over Live young and free Now I can see How wonderful How s...

Writing a letter to you like you’re a foreign pen pal Talking to you like I’ve never not known you Smiling at you with my heart nailed shut Time-induced-healing has not been enough I swear you’d always need me I swear you’d always see me As the same blo...

Tell me a story that consists of more Than once upon a time, the end, starring that same familiar friend Sing me a song that I can hum upstairs in bed, That can live in my mind, maybe for all time I don't need a wallow face, I just need a place I can call...

The sun is bleeding and the ash is snowing In the distance the fire is growing The trees are shrinking and your heart is sinking Yet you’ve never felt more alive Bloody sunset you remind me of when the clouds hung in fear And when I didn’t know I could b...

I hate talking and I hate walking next to someone I don’t know Someone I don’t know I hate pretending to keep up this friend thing When I have enough friends and I’d rather be at home Things would be much easier And it would really save some time If you...

Cityscape, I want to escape, take me to the root of your light Cityscape, forever engraved, stuck in time, stuck inside my mind And how, did you ever get so bright? And how, did you soar so very high? When did I not love you? When did I not know you? Y...

The boy in the gown today became a man His future's oh-so-bright, at least it looks like The pretty girl holds her picture in hand Gives it to the man as she recites her lines Why does there exist a need to be somebody do something Whose origins are from...

Will we ever really reach the moon? Will we ever really march to the seashore? Will we ever really break down walls that feel wrong? Will we ever really come to terms with those bombs? It’s hard to say Our past might have never come The way it seems tod...

I’m beginning to feel like an empty shell With nothing to embrace and nothing to expel I’m beginning to feel like a very crumbly street With nowhere to go and no place for you feet I just don’t know anymore I just don’t know Isn’t this house really a b...

Ever since the stork came We've heard of scholarly pride And passionate drive Every since the stork came We've held the flag at highest highs Looked at by dishonest eyes And now that we're vacant, with a badge on our chest We preach of good ethics and...

Looking for the line that divides the earth in two The seam is in the ground, it goes down to the roots We all come from the same place but that’s not the way it ends Looking for the thread that started in our heads Everything has its way my friend Every...

I’ve been finding reasons To tell myself that I’m not really here or there much I’ve been making scrapbooks Of all the places I would like to go when I’m home And I’ve got ways to disappear And now I can’t find my way out of here Am I really here? I d...

I want to make this concrete I want to make this firm I want to decide something But I'm scared of what I'll learn I don't know that I've been the best boss of myself I might as well get out of town or hire someone else How do we know when it's all goi...

Left you by the phone at half past three Now it's quarter ‘til and you're not to be seen Last I saw your face was ten hours gone And suddenly you're sorry; it's my fault for giving in You will never love the way you know You would never love the way yo...

Just the other day as I was walking I felt someone mimicking my steps I jumped and fled yet however later I found it was just a lonely silhouette I should've stayed a little later And cut my hair a hair more short Made my lips real red and worn the yell...

Isn't it lovely: the rhythm of the sea That deep black blue whispers gentle melodies Isn't it lovely: the pitter-patter of the rain The drops fall upon your face each with it's own domain The sky is vast with stars and it seems impossible To find a place...

When the tears begin to flow Or I stub my pinky toe I will somehow never be alone If I'm bitten by a dog Or kissed by a charming frog This will someway make it all okay I've got something strange about me But somehow I know There's a song in my mind...

She looked at her life and it wasn’t perfect She looked at her strife and it wasn’t worth it Wasted the days away Sitting from up above, she began to smile Little green and brown squares for miles and miles For miles and miles She has always been away, s...

With her head on her pillow and her pain tucked under the sheets Music playing softly without a steady beat The TV flickers flames of color; it ignites the room A black and white face, the colors escape, her heartache She ran away, so far away That the s...

Where do we lose ourselves in the winter months? Where do we find ourselves when there’s no shelter for us? How can we cry when there’s no way to make amends? How can we fight when there’s no lesson in the end? You just tell yourself there’s something to...

You are one hundred thousand years old You know everything ever been told You can map the globe in a millisecond, can’t you? You are five thousand leagues under the sea You see everything in sight You don’t need binoculars; you have your eyes If you had...

I can’t go to sleep tonight Because the thought of darkness makes me feel alive I can’t find a way to dream When I’m thinking about everything I think I’ll be happier if I turn my brain off Until the morning stirs I think I will find a day When all this...

People can be mean and people can be nice People can be any single way you’d like People can be meaner, people can be greener Than you’d ever thought you’d know Paris or London or New York or Mars People can be any single way they are Wherever you go yo...

Single wishing flower on my lawn New freckle on the moon's face Closed eyes saw new grace Go to sleep blue eyes and wake me when I'm dreaming Close your lips real tight Let me kiss them while you're sleeping It's fool's gold when you realize Your love...

I'm finding farewell is the word I won't say, at the risk of being what it is I'm finding so long is what took so long to finally utter with strength I can't be what I need And I can't treat you right Nothing lasts forever But this, my friend, won't pass...

I've been told by many books and things That I can read minds and I agree, at least in my dreams I've been yelled at by many road-ragers Making love to their coffee and pagers now, heading down south The lark was humming and softly I kept drumming And th...

Stranger I've known you for so long I found you lost with a compass in the fog Stranger you know me too much Illusionary-self had not be touched, until you Humming Hallelujah in the dark Whispered poems leave you to be Humming Hallelujah in the night T...

Tiny raindrops salute gravity The pavement smells like the taste of blood I need to get out of here – even the trees are gilded Smiles ooze of depression with no creative perks I’ve overstayed my welcome in this life And it seems as though time won’t tel...

It was just a cold day, no day for laying in the field It was just one star, far too far that made him turn away Bland boy, no toy to a man like yourself He was just no one, someone who needed something else Time left room for me to reconsider What had b...

We are gray like the sidewalks, Old like the sidewalks, wiser now We are tall like the buildings, Strong like the buildings, skyward bound Who am I to be? Anything other than the city in me? We are the way we are We are the way we are We ran away fr...
