As I go onto a stage
I just need His peace.

I never thought that
I could be competitive
Until I came here.

Dancing around the

Swirling dizzily around

I asked if she needed
Some help—she said yes!

Vines to trap some wild bird

Always
Before the dust fell
Under the pastry white moon
You were always weird.
And there will never come a day when you will not be weird. :]

Death cannot keep me
Ice remade me
I am Free.

Something you never could do

Don't make promises
Promises just become lies
When you are this young.

No time for foolishness now,
Stop pestering me.

Squander
Up and down the stair she goes
Whither all a-wander
And whether she blames me or not
It's my fault her time is squandered.

Toting around his portable sounds
A big 'ole bus with Diverse City
Tonight he's got his eye on it
With his rap rhyming witty.

Stuck down in his fingernails
Worked to Impress her.
She was his Empress.

Glimpse
You saw for a moment
The girl she truly was;
A glimpse at her twisting soul
Foreverafter gave you pause.
Sometimes I see someone, when I'm not thinking about it, and suddenly it's like I see them in a totally different light, and see their potential and the person they could be and the greatness they could embody...it's crazy but it comes to me sometimes.  When you see a piece of someone's soul for a split second, it burns that second into your memory for an eternity.  You never really see that person the same.

Dressed
Grey means I'm tired,
Black means depressed,
Turquoise means I'm happy;
Just look at how I'm dressed.
It's true, I wear different colors depending on my mood

Stealing my contentedness

"Are windows open?"
Said he, "I'm cold."
"Only the windows,"
Said I, "of your soul."

Commas
You use your commas
The way a Southern woman
Puts sugar in tea.
And, yeah, you're, killing, me.

Played
It cuts me deep and to the quick
To think that you had fun with it
When all the while it was my own
My heart you played with, not a stone.

Sworn
Cross my heart, I hope I'll die
I try to look you in the eye
I do not love you anymore
And I may break the oath I swore.

Taken
You said that you'd do
whatever it takes,
But all that it took

Nothing
I see you sitting there, wondering
How will you ever go on?
'Cause you can't get over that one thing
It's been with you for so long
 
You thought you could be brave enough
Thought you could stay strong
You tried but you couldn't save yourself
How did it all go so wrong?
 
I see you telling yourself to try, try
You say you're better than this
I see you break down and just cry, cry
But you don't have to do this
 
You think you're separated from My love
I tell you, nothing can do that
You think all you did is bad enough
I tell you, nothing, nothing can do that
 
Every day you wake up and say
You're going to get it right
You're going on your own strength
And it brings you down every night
 
It's getting heavier all the time
You didn't know it'd hurt this much
But you just keep saying you'll try
Even though you're giving up
 
But I see you in your pain
You can give up and know I'm here
My voice has always been saying
That I've always been near
 
You think you're separated from My love
I tell you, nothing can do that
You think all you did is bad enough
I tell you, nothing, nothing can do that
 
So when the lies tear you down
When you let them speak
Don't be afraid, I'm always around
Child, just hold onto Me
 
You think you're separated from My love
I tell you, nothing can do that
You think all you did is bad enough
I tell you, nothing, nothing can do that
 
Nothing can do that.

To you, I'm sorry I'm not

See

Breathe, just breathe,
And tell me what you see;
For I can't tell what lies ahead:
You must go on before me.

Pencil
I've taken to carrying a pencil around
Whether I sit or stand
For it seems exceptionally true these days
I can't think without a pencil in hand.
and I don't know if that's a good thing....

Eyes
My eyes hurt
Maybe it's from staring at the computer
for so long
Maybe it's bad for my eyes

My eyes hurt
Maybe it's because I'm tired and didn't get
enough sleep
Maybe it's bad for my eyes

My eyes hurt
Maybe it's from the mascara I just started wearing
to get attention
Maybe it's bad for my eyes

My eyes hurt
Maybe it's from the hard music I listen to
to make sense of stuff
Maybe it's bad for my eyes

My eyes hurt
Maybe it's because I feel like crying but I'm
keeping it in
Maybe it's bad for my eyes.

Now all my insides feel jammed together
