dizzy dizzy little dream sunshine boat floating down my road winding turning around my head spinning falling far down you catch me my sinking heart is lifting above the trees, all losing leaves in the fall I'm lifting above my yesterday and my hiding above the rain clouds to the highest tower of your castle you are my smile. Kept so far away from me kept out of my dreams you keep a piece of me you keep almost all of me through fall and winter the coldest months on my heart I'm with you you are my smile.

little star flake glance across the sky and see me little moon boy light my way as I sail across this big black sea. to the small light guiding me to the beauty with a halo above her head to the dream that's waking me. And I know that they can't keep us apart and I know that I'll hold your heart and I'll be jumping over the moon to see you my little star flake hidden in this big black sea I'm glad I found you I'm glad you saved me … from burning out I'm glad he made you ... for me it's nice to know that I was made for someone else. I'm going to keep you in my crystal ball, my heart.

Flash Flood

|

|
Here they come floating past my window knocking on my door inviting me in to their world it's sick the way you roll around for them the way you pant jump a little higher maybe you'll snatch what they want you to. the heat's bouncing off the sidewalk bouncing around my walls trying to burn me trying to warn me trying to save me from the flash flood.

The light falls away from my eyes I can't see so I can't write it will not leave if I don't write it down but even when I do it still stays around I write so much you think I'd be alright but the light always falls away from my eyes I don't usually quit but I'll quit on this it's a bother to think and I don't want to write it down I'm afraid of my songs that they might be true three small words I'd love to say and if I could I wouldn't be writing this today I guess it's my fault where I am I never let anyone get close to me I only write what I never show it's a shame no one hears my words I hate to cause trouble with my hidden little pain I know many people who need help more than me get away don't waste your time of course... there are few who ever do just tell yourself that I'm alright there's always tomorrow this blanket has fallen over my eyes I'm tired it's getting late.

tear down everyone building their webs around me if you're setting me up to tear me down then I'm gonna break out of here. 'cause I'm losing my mind the sun is rising and setting and I don't know when or how high I'm gonna jump when it burns me. I'm gonna save myself … with you. I'm gonna raise my God ... to where he's meant to be. I'm gonna fight the world ... the world around me. and when they take me away …. I'm feeling left out from everyone who meant anything to me I guess I missed it all, I'm going down, I'm losing touch, I'm breaking up. all the words going 'round are cutting me. love scrawls on a page for me raising etchings of time and etchings of me yeah, I'm okay, the aliens haven't messed with me stupid world. I'm gonna save myself … with you (love scrawls on a page for me) I'm gonna raise my God … to where he's meant to be (Yeah, I'm okay) I'm gonna fight the world .. flight their aliens (stupid world) and when they take me away … I'll tell them why we're here.

Life goes by so fast I'm telling you You got to make the most of the seconds you can catch There aren't many happy times left to spread around but I believe in you I need you to stick around for me Tears only fall 'til you're too empty to cry anymore then you're tired of the world the world you can't mourn for anymore but I believe in you I need you to hold the world with me You're falling falling from the sky but you can only fall so far then you're standing at the edge of a cliff take my hand I can't lift you up but I'm standing near the edge with you and I won't let you fall. And I believe in you just like I want to believe in me Don't worry about anything just sit back with me and we'll watch the world go by my burdens are heavy but I want to carry yours too Don't worry about me I found my balance and I won't fall any farther today. Tomorrow isn't here yet it may never be if you let go and fall away maybe it holds answers it can't hurt anymore to stay I don't want to go yet I want to find myself and stay. We are all little angels We'll get our wings someday then we can fly away fly away from all the pain If I knew how to save you and send you back to the sky I'd give my life to do so what's left of my empty life And deep down some dark hole I'll find a tear for you I'll wave away the world and give it straight to you ' cause your pain will always find me out as far away as I someday may be we are of the some blood you and me so here's a tear from me.

One more melt...the sun is coming out One more day...of my falling away And I can see...that things don't really change and there she goes...proof of all I sing And here I am...alone with my shadow what am I to do...I think I'll go home tomorrow and get away...get away from all the gloom forget about the good times and all that they led up to. Let's go down to the city they say it's the cure for all our sorrows but I don't believe them I'd be more lost there than here at home And I think only time can fill in the hole that's wore right through to the bone. And there she goes...I wonder if she really knows And here I am...pondering if she was the one 'cause I didn't try...now I know... now I know all the lies...I heard, I told and we all know And I'm gonna stay and watch her as she walks away 'cause it hurts so much...I didn't know it would be this way And God only knows, he's here with me help me stand...on my own, I need to learn help me shield my weary eyes from the glaring sun let's travel to the country they say it's the cure for the tired one help me believe in something I'm losing faith in all but one.

I spoke your name again today I know you heard me I was screaming all that's left is rough seas you're here with me but you're sleeping wake up and tell it all to go away I know you've heard this story before just remind me of the ending. hello. it's your faithless wonder riding in a storm and I'm screaming at you as if you didn't know I want you to wake up and tell me it's alright tell me this storm is over it won't go through the night. 'cause I think I'm useless and I can't ride it through myself won't you tell me the ending tell me I'm alright because I'm a faithless story and you are my faith and light and I'm a little devil I want to trade my skin for a gem so that I can be a ring and I can stay on your hand I'm coming off my hill I want to come to you I want to swim to you I want to sing to you I want to die to you I want to be to you another of your gems. hello. you want to live to me you to want to tell me the ending.

Man of Sorrows
04:35

Silent...he's so silent, he only speaks when I want him to, faithful...he's so faithful, he's always waiting at the door for me, caring...he's so caring, he's always worried about me, waiting...he's so patient, he's always waiting for me to come around. and it's obvious, and I'm past playing games, and I'm wandering, yet I'm staying close to home, and I'm dying, 'cause I'm hungry for some food, and I'm crying, and when I look, he is too. Daring...he's so daring, to take a chance with me, watching...he sees everything, he watches like a father over me, listening...he hears me singing, he gives all my words to me, forgiving...he's so forgiving, and I know that he'll forgive me. And I'm crying, my soul is crying, for my best friend in his pain, and he's dying, he's dying, he's giving his life for me, and I'm trying, to say sorry, for the pain I give to him, but it's okay, he's a strong one, he can stand what would kill me.

the light shone down on me my friend and all the city was dead as I lay down in the street and all the silence surrounded me listen to the life welled up inside of me I guess it's time to let it free my days of roaming these streets have drifted away leaving only me bare and open to re-accept the world re-discover me, he discovered me, and let me go, to re-discover me he discovered me my friend.
