“Me, Myself, & Us”
(split personality)

 Forbid the thoughts in the back of your dreams
The eyes that see and know the dead
Gripping tightly to what is real, what’s not sure Ignites the scare
That we fear, that we love, for what it’s won
The light means we’re done

You and I inviting the same soul
It hurts, it burns, it’s all seen to old

My bleeding palms, prove to me all too well
The journey I made, hands and knees
Crawling from this, live soul lived hell
This is how I’ll always bleed
That we fear, that we love, for what it’s won 

You and I inviting the same soul
It hurts, it burns, it’s all seen to old
The deep reflection of insanity bleeding for what has to come
The light means we’re done
(Now let me go and you’ll be known) 

“Locked & Loaded”

(suicide isn't worth it)
 

standing in front of myself, watching and waiting for guidance
I’ve seen this again
The thoughts are n sync but disproved
Hair in my face with no intention to move
Now let me know have I gone too far
Out of breathe and I’m just at the start So sleep child

hurt only known from emotions inside, all at one time
Hope that I build tears me down, all at one time
You still remind me of if I never saw
I’d be free and never have what is was
But that’s one thing locked up inside, all at one time

so grab onto what’s in front of you, not what you lack
Breath in now, loosen the noose the scarf is tight enough
It’s just so damn far 

“Short Of A Punchline”
(um....yea)

I’ve been here for too long
For you to tell me that’s its wrong
And I should stop
I have a hard time believing a word you say
open your eyes, take in the view
You’re out numbered
Open your mind, flag colored white
 Lie down and surrender

Let it go, this notion in your head that you’re better than me
It doesn’t matter what you said, you said it as you turned away
Let it show, I’m looking out for you and it’s eating inside
And then you’ll know Now you know

 This war is over it never began
Your side is down and you’re losing a friend
There’s no feeling of hurt, or fear, or pain

“Hostage”
(writing music thought process, how music helps ease, and brings people together)

Times get tough and, I get stranded
All alone, but not for long
I hear melodies of forgiveness
And chords of compassion, for my return

From their mind, to their words
Seen through their eyes, sang through their lips
From my ears, and to my mind
To my lips, and then we kiss

my eyes start to water, as I stare blindly
At my composition of my rendition
Of what I’m trying to say
The sounds I make, sound more like me
The hands on the wall are the one’s who are holding me hostage

"Moving On Ain’t The Same As Forgetting”
(wrote after the tragedy at VT)

We never thought that it would ever end up this way
young dreams shot down from a barrel
In the hands of which whose were lost
Looking outward to a world
Of confusion now rest shut
Why is the never-ending question that was sought out
Ran short to the press
We expect the past to forecast the future
But how could theirs really end up this way

a new direction for us to point the blame
We never thought that it would ever end up this way
A new direction for us to point the blame
We never thought that it would ever end up this way
Who knew, who knew, who knew, who knew
We never thought that it would ever end up this way

 other people’s lives flash before my eyes
On the TV set
Radio waves of past conclusions
Set the standards for resolutions

with in one day our world can shake
Remember with certainty for lover’s sake
Robbed away without letting us say
Seeing all black and white like a rainy day
To go ahead was found never with ease
A march ahead cries out unity
Walk with me, walk with me

Moving on ain’t the same as forgetting
Moving on ain’t the same as forgetting  

“E.N.D.”
(a love song and based on/within the tragic tornado that hit Greensburg, KS)

 The rain continues to fall, the water seeps in through the walls
God decides when we can see, and I promise you I’ll never leave
And as the night rolls on, in the lives of so many
Swept away, forgotten memories
The cold breeze, is no match for your breathe on my cheek
As the lights go out, and the wind picks up
The circle clouds form above
Give us no time to act
Just hold on tight and believe in the past
When the new day comes, and we see the horizon
I’ll hear your voice, and feel your eyes and
We will dream again, and I can breathe again

Hold my breath, forget about the rest
Two hearts will know, that I’ll never let you go
Stand firm and fight, the wrath of the night
I’ll make it okay, before you awake

your soft skin warms the sun in the morning
Bird sang melody, a love song for you and me
We’ll stand on the ruins of what we use to call home
And we’ll know that we were never, and are not alone

one more disaster, one more record
I’ll just hold my baby/life, that much tighter 

“Ante up”
(good song concerning the war, without sides, just common goals)

 Will some one tell me what’s going on
No more right than no more wrong
Silence sits at the end of the table
A shot in the dark
And the blinds go up, and the blinds go up
Reunited is to wish upon a star
When duty calls for security and guard
Vacant space and an unfluffed pillow
The little things aren’t quite so little anymore

Protect the cause, defend the weak
A letter read, is a letter wept
Disregard uncertainty, celebrate homecomings
A promise kept, is a promise said

The word of the war moves in mysterious ways
Relive the old times to remember the old days
Opinionated is not what made it
Love ain’t too far from saving us 

“Better To Say Goodbye, Than Nothing At All”
(It's true)

 As the car overturns, he calls out to her
And he tells her how much he’s in love
As the plane goes down, he calls out to her
Before the ground, and he tells her

We’ll I don’t believe every word that I hear
But you and I can save the world
Just say the word, say the word

As the flames burn higher, she calls out to him
Her voice is smoldered and her body’s left to burn
As the water rises higher, she calls out to him
Her voice is flooded and her lungs begin to fill

 Next time you get the chance, don’t leave it leave it to chance
Say goodbye, say I love, it’s not worth the pain, not worth the blood
Round and round and round we go
Where it stops no one knows, at the end of the road
That’s where everybody goes, home

"My Diary Of You” 
(love song we wrote/performed for our sister's wedding)

We knew right away, we live it everyday
That we could not live with any other
That we were meant for each other

This is a deep look into, my diary of you
You’re best friend, my best love
This is a deep look into, my diary of you
You’re all I ask for, you’re all I dreamed of

Let me tell what I think about when I think of you
All the memories that we share and those that we’ll do
Rollerblading and falling into water
Sleeping in and crying hard from laughter

Understanding, you are my best friend
And we are so amazing, we’ll be sole mates til the end
Of time, as we sit on our front porch
And watch our kids grow old, when our love will still be so young
Like the first time we kissed on March 6^th
You held my hand so close and I felt your heart so close
Lost in your blue eyes I saw where our future lies
Our imperfections, our perfections
This is our life together
Starting today, starting forever

But It's Not Easy
(Flunking out of Engineering class, F*** that noise)

Your the one circling above me waiting for me to leave because i stress on life so easily one day someday everyday it comes together through the weather light as a damned feather cuz i can't feel shit - come home turn on the radio listen to all the sad songs i know is it over it's never over even as we grow older - but i know it's not easy but i know it's not easy then you stomp and break my face in like a fall fallen leaf and... - I run a mile to gain an inch i stay after to ride the bench i'm below two inches too short the floor drops out the dreams out the door - I know that i want this more than you...

Discombobulated
(a break up song)

you lead with a match leading us no where everything not right here re-winded emotions paused and waiting notions your aching eyes see no tunnel yet the light's seen far away - should the faults be exposed with the doors barred and closed only key destroyed feelings annoyed on my way down - if i find the ending will this all be depending on hearing right and wrong with knowing all along - why's the truth remain hidden as the path narrows near ignoring bitter words for both of us my body continues - changed thoughts of stitched feelings time moves on as we're healing the same static phone lines cut us off on my way down - chorus - dial-tone disconnected - why do we do the things that we do that make us hurt in and out when were sitting all alone crying aloud when it feels so wrong but we know were right why's it feel so wrong when we know were right - chorus

Tonight
(this song can make me cry, about losing and not wanting more but finding reasons to)

as i held your hand for the last time, it felt just like the first time, you showed no pain you showed no fear you whispered to me just stay near tonight - why am i still trying while you are still dying, why i am i still trying while you are - as i cried i grew tired of this life the felt expired, anticipation of his creation waiting for the time to come tonight he comes - chorus - its for the love, its for the truth, its for hope the thought of getting through, its for you, and its for me, everything you make me do, everything you make me be, what i am today, everything thing you'd say, how you'd look at me, how you held the key to my heart i can't start a new life with no you by my side i cant try anymore, i cant lie anymore, it left with you my whole like left with you i can get through this life

Off & Gone
(over-dramatic women)

P-R-E-S-S you are driving me insane with your heavy thoughts weighing me down I fall to your feet I suicide to your demanding way I try to escape from this whirlpool that drown me - every time I get ahead I fall behind to everyone around me, they want this and I want that I kiss you good bye but you come back - i'm not good enough i'm never good enough for you for you - P-R-E-S-S you are driving insane, go away, i love you but i cant get away i thrive on you but i just cant get away - these places scare me now and im not going through with this just a few more steps before i get to saftiness of the control and calmness of the moment now...
