In your eyes I see the evergreens,
Growing tall with pride.
Casting shadows on the forest bed,
Letting timid creatures hide.

In your eyes I see the evergreens,
Growing strong and wide.
Reaching for the sun,
But only touching the sky.

In your eyes I see the evergreens,
Brave and tough and pure.
You'll grow as high as evergreens,
That, my dear, I'm sure.

You're beautiful, I'll tell you.
Because no one else will.
You're wonderful, I'll tell you.
You're too precious to ****.

You've got a life to live,
The whole world to see.
So I'll do a favor,
I will set you free.

Blue as the night sky, or the stormy sea.
Blue as the moon, staring down at me.
Bright as the starlight sparkling the sky.
Bright like your eyes, blue like the tears you cry.

Tears are streaming down my face.
I can't live here now, not in this place...
My heart is throbbing, chest is aching.
I'm sobbing and my body's shaking...

I can't take back the words I said,
They're ricocheting in my head...
Getting louder as I weep,
How can my mistakes cut so deep...

I'm sorry, I promise, I truly am.
I'm not a monster, I'll change, I can...
And, if not, I'll disappear.
At least that's better than being here...

Is there a monster inside of me?
For, when I look in the mirror that's all I see...
Forgive me, please, let me prove I'm kind.
Trust me, oh please, don't leave me behind...

I sit, my back against the wall. Tears trickling down my cheeks.
Then I wash off my face and stand tall, which means that I am weak.
Alone in the bathroom stall, I couldn't control my cries.
On the inside I feel so very small, and the smiles I wear are lies.

Mama, mama, see me here?
See my talents, see me clear?
See me talking, see me near?
See my eyes that fill with tears?

Mama, mama, hear your name?
Hear my words, the ones I don't say?
Hear my cries, the ones that I tame?
Hear my footsteps as I walk away?

Mama, mama, feel my pain?
Feel my stare, as I'm dying in vain?
Feel my disappointment, my wrong blame?
Feel my heart as it withers away?

Mama, mama, you're not here...
You're distracted, can't see clear.
You're oblivious to my selfish fear—
That you'll forget me, and leave me here...

I want to be alone.
I want to disappear.
I don't need your worried tone.
I don't need you here.

I want to wither away,
And wallow in grief.
There's no reason that I'm sad today.
So stop. Let me be, please.

My heart is heavy, my bones trembling.
Help me, I'm in need of mending.
Broken body, shattered soul-
I'm crumbling, but no one knows...

Thunderstorms rage outside my window.
Lightning blinks as it watches me cry.
It's strange to have the weather know
What I feel inside.

"How it used to be"

Deja vu is coming back to me.
Memories of how it used to be.
Hugs, laughs. That used to be past.
Laying in the grass. It's all coming back.

Friendship re-rolling, tapes replaying.
Ignoring what the voices in my head are saying.
I'm scared that history will repeat.
I'm scared it'll go back to how it used to be.


"Friends?"

Pinch myself, but I know I'm awake.
Brace myself for another heartbreak.
The shivers on my spine, I simply can't shake.
Is this real life, or is it all fake?


"It All Worked Out"

It all worked out,
In the blink of an eye.
It all worked out,
And I want to cry.

It's a happy ending,
It feels like a dream.
It's a happy ending,
And I want to scream.

Water trickles down the stones in streams.
A girl lies dead, her body cold and weak.
Shallow wells are deeper than they seem.
They drown the ones you never thought would sink.

You're my lovely little sisters-
Even not by blood, it's true.
And words cannot express,
The love I have for you.

Three words have never meant so much.
Three words I cannot say.
Three words have made me cold to the touch,
Three words I'll never say.

Confined in a corner, trapped in my own mind.
Lost in a labyrinth, that no one can find.
Voices shouting, ears ringing.
People staring, eyes stinging.

Drowning in claustrophobic despair,
Screaming but there's nobody there.
They all say yes, and I say no.
Oh, why can't you just let me go?

It's dark in here.
It's cold out there.
I feel afraid.
I feel scared.

My eyes can't see.
My ears can't hear.
Don't let me out.
Don't leave me here.

People poke and **** and shout in my ear.
But I don't feel a thing, and their screams I don't hear.
For, numbness comes after hurting too much.
And you simply become numb to the touch.

Just a lone girl, wandering the woods.
All she has is a book and her quill.
She can write, but doesn't know if she should.
And you'll just have to see if she will.

You tremble under the weight of my fingertips,
My delicate touch too much for you.
You shiver at the harsh phrase from my lips,
My poison words too sure for you.

You smile amidst your pleading cries,
Clear streaks running down your ruddy cheeks.
You have hope despite the pain in your eyes,
To still believe in me proves you're weak.

She waltzed across the oak wood floor.
Her skirts trailed behind her feet.
She traced the ground as she spun,
Humming a soft, humble beat.

She twirled, her hair flowing against her back.
She gave the young boy a chance.
She heeded his request, of course,
And in a swirl of flames, she danced.

I hold you to my chest,
I hold you in my arms.
I'll keep you safe, my darling.
I'll keep you safe from harm.

Look into my eyes,
I'll make your worry disappear.
Stroke your tear-stained cheeks,
I'll wipe away your fear.

I love you, my darling.
I'll protect you with my life.
I promise, my darling.
I will never let you die.

I hear my heartbeat pounding against my ribs.
Bang, Bang, a drumming sound.
I feel my breaths shaking with every word.
Quiver, Quiver, a hopeless bound.

Invisible, yet so aware.
Even though no one cares.
Even though no one stares.

Invisible, yet so afraid.
Even if my thoughts are made.
Even if I stand in the shade.

Stuck in the shadows.
Stuck, all alone.
Shouting, but silence
Is all that echoes.

Screaming until my lungs wither away.
Crying, but no one can hear what I say.
The sun is daunting, it scares me into the dark.
I try to run, but my footsteps don't make a mark.

Invisible, weights pulling me down.
Invisible, weights holding me to the ground.
Invisible, feet stuck to the floor.
Invisible... I could have been so much more.

Mama, don't leave me.
I hate to be alone.
What if you leave me,
and never come home.

Papa, don't leave me.
I'm scared, and anxious too.
What if you leave me,
and I never get to say goodbye to you.

I must say farewell,
I must say I love you.
For I'm afraid I'll never tell,
When I'll ever lose you.

Please, don't leave me.
I hate the unknown.

A sweater I put on, worn and worn.
To keep me safe, to keep me warm.
The outside soft, the inside thorns.
Tempting is, my love forlorn.

The sweater stays, ripped and torn.
For lost labors that I mourn.
A love has died, a love is born.
Hopeless is, my love forlorn.

To be so close, yet all so far.
I cannot reach, yet here you are.
I cannot leap, the jump's too hard.
Forlorn love tears us apart...

Disdainful tears, that mark my cheeks.
My helpless world, is far too bleak.
Without my strength I seem so meek.
Forlorn love makes me feel weak.

A sweater I put on, worn and worn.
To keep me safe, to keep me warm.
Love is pain, and love is scorn.
Wretched is, my love forlorn.

Same wretched thing,
Why try to fight it.
Numb and routine,
Just the way I like it.
A repeat it seems.
Get tedious; might it?
Numb and routine,
Just the way I like it.

Why does my heart go on beating.
Why do my eyes stay wide.
Why does the sun go on rising,
Why do I stay alive.

Why do my lungs go on breathing.
Why are my feelings trapped inside.
Why does the sun go on setting,
Why do I stay alive.

I've carried a boulder,
It's weighed me down.
I've got bruises on my shoulders,
And blood on my crown.

My hands are cut and shaking,
My knees trembling with fear.
I feel my body breaking,
And I sneak a single tear.

Pressure pressing down on me,
Pushing down, pushing down.
Pressure and I cannot breathe.
Sinking down, sinking down.

Pressure weighing down on me,
Pushing down, pushing down.
Pressure and I'm suffocating.
Sinking down, please save me now.

I miss the crowds of people,
All knowing my name.
I miss the chance I didn't see,
The one I didn't take.

I miss the friends I used to have,
People knowing me.
I miss the blissful life I lived,
For now I'm quite lonely.

The stars in the sky,
As they sparkle like your eyes...
Black rimmed, deep blue, glistening white.

Reflecting in your eyes,
I see the whole night...
The moon, the planets, the light far up high.

And even when you cry,
The night is glossy on your eyes...
As you so pitifully gaze into mine.

My mind is in shackles,
My head is a whirlwind.
How can I replace you,
You've only just broken.

I'm broken as well,
Shattered and cracked.
All I can do is die,
To get you back.

An illness overtook the land,
Mysterious and vague.
Villagers joined, hand in hand,
In what was known as the Dancing Plague.

They skipped beside the street,
To music silent in their ears.
And they tapped their cursed feet,
To music nobody else could hear.

They danced for days, and could have years,
The plague continuing to spread.
And they danced so long, my dear,
Oh, they danced 'til they dropped dead.

Singing sweetly in the snow.
Drifting down, humming soft and low.
Staying silent so they don't hear,
All your worry, all your fear.

Hugging quietly in the cold.
Breeze blowing soft, doing what it's told.
Making no sound so they don't hear,
Your thumping heartbeat, beating fear.

White surroundings, nothing clear.
Frozen fingers, frozen ears.
Frozen heartache, frozen tears.
Staying silent, so they don't hear.

Your last breath, still full of fear...

Happy birthday, my dear.
I'd give you the world if I could.
I'd place it in your little hands, the world small and grand,
But you'd drop it, I know you would.

I wish you a happy birthday, my dear.
I'd hold you in my arms if I could.
I'd hug you tight, tell you everything's alright,
But lying to a child is no good.

In my fantasy, I'm the most beautiful girl in the world.
In my fantasy, I'm precious like a pearl.
In my fantasy, I'm lovely and I'm sure.
In my fantasy, only in my fantasy.

Queen of a world that no one can find.
Queen of a world that is all mine.
Ruler of a nation where they're all on my side,
Queen of a world that's all in my mind.

Silence is the sound of thinking.
Lonely thoughts, slowly sinking.
Darkness drowning the haze of outside.
Silence clouding the girl who wants to hide.

Out my window I see a sky
Blue, with no clouds and a sun shining bright
Out my window I see a tree
Green, with leaves that sway with the breeze
Out my window I see mountains high
Grey, and snow topped with birds flying by
Out my window I see the whole world
And I feel, for a moment, like a small little girl

Have you ever felt your heart sink
Felt your words escape your lips
Seen clouds that force you not to think
And felt caught under whips

Stinging your skin, pounding in your head
Trying so hard not to cry
Feeling empty, dull, and dead
And you have no idea why

Quiet girls,
they may not smile.
But quiet girls,
their thoughts run wild.

I sit, my mind empty.
My thoughts flew away.
Carried with the wind,
And forced me to stay.

On an adventure.
Leaving me behind.
Past the mountains, through the seas,
To see what they can find.

Taking inspiration.
Soaring with it, fast.
Bringing me ideas,
Tight within its grasp.

But for now, I wait.
While my thoughts fly free.
Waiting for the ideas,
They will bring to me.

Creativity is thriving in my heart.
But inspiration is falling apart.

I'm the lock, you're my key.
And you fit perfectly.
I'm in a cage, can't you see.
And you can set me free.

Star-lit sky, in the night.
Something shines like moonlight.
The cat's eyes, they glow.
And they see into your soul.

They see your heart, beating fast.
They see your your feet upon the grass.
The cat's eyes, they know.
And they see into your soul.

The girl who never smiles.
The girl whose face is stone.
The girl who hides herself.
The girl who sits alone.

The girl who doesn't speak.
The girl who's faced it all.
The girl who keeps to herself.
The girl who's too silent to call.

My flower grows, my flower grows.
Up and up, it rose and rose.
To the sun and through the trees.
Past the grass and past the seas.
Up and up, it grew so high.
Finally my flower reached the sky.

I dance in the rain when nobody's watching,
Just so I can be in peace.
When my body flows like raindrops,
And the rainbow's staring down at me.

I walk into the storm when nobody's watching,
Just so I can cry in peace.
When my tears blend in like raindrops,
And water the grass beneath my feet.

If all the stars fell from the sky
If they scattered the ground and escaped the night
If the sky turned dark without any light
If the earth picked up the stars and threw them high

Would the stars go back into space
Would the stars get back in their place
Or would the stars come falling back down
Leaving the night sky bare, and covering the ground

Pieces of light falling from a black night
Illuminating the earth and the path where we step
The stars sparkling bright, such a beautiful sight
Never to return up to the sky

All I could see was the pond just ahead.
Still and motionless, a peaceful blue bed.
All I could see were the trees swaying slow,
Carrying a breeze and the thoughts they know.
All I could see was the grass dancing smooth,
Green and delicate, a sight fit to soothe.
All I could see was the clear blue sky above,
And all I could feel was astounding love.

All I could hear was the wind blowing soft,
My mind cleared, and my mind shut off.
All I could hear were the birds humming sweetly,
A beautiful sound, language flowing discreetly.
All I could hear was the breathing earth,
My mind deep in the roots of death and birth.
All I could hear was the silence alive,
And all I could feel was the heartbeat of life.
