For Renee

Turning insde to draw the lines
the red seeps through
with each accepted lie
This is your definition
the failure, the addict, the whore
a prostitute in the worst conditions
With pavement singing
this is who you are
helpless, loveless, and dying
Where is rescue?
Scars remind you its far
Who are you?
Your bigger than this city
of cardboard boxes and trash fires
turn around and realize that we are many
The rescuers from your scars
the love you once prayed for,
and yet you say to remember the stars
You began the war so we will take up arms
This battle is for many
to write love on their arms

Blue

I'll pay for your time
and sacrifice my dreams
'cause your words aren't what they seem
I'm led one way
then torn the other
but my heart will never love another
Phone line promises
forgotten like me
when your all that I'm dying to see
Sleep is forgotten when
this whole night I would stay
up til dawn just to hear about your day
I don't want to be a memory
so write it down to forget
this is my gamble and I've placed my bet
So now alone I'll pick two stars
and call them your name
because your eyes shine just the same

*Hope you know this one's for you...

My Only Hope

When time drips like Dahli,
You've always been around.
A moment in your eyes,
means a night on this town.
The only music
that I want to hear
is the sound of your voice
when I know your finally near
We'll drive and never stop
We'll dream in the night breeze
We'll sing at the top of our lungs
and claim this night as seized
As always the night will end,
The doorstep parting will be sorrow.
We'll say goodbye with the hope,
that we'll be together tomorrow.

The Game

Today your close
but tomorrow oh so distant
I'm hanging on this thread
a hope of something more
it comes and goes
I dont know whether to move in
or to move on
Make up your mind
Why lead me on?
These hopes and dreams
need closure
in one way or another
but I can wait a little longer
these feelings I had to share
Your not perfect
but I dont care

In Pursuit

No one said it would be this hard
finding my heart's desire
This dream to pursue is out of reach
I'm running and growing tired
Everything seems promising
everyone offers so much
and yet my thoughts aren't guided
to anything that I can touch
Everlasting dreams,
Eternal significance
Is this what to look for?
My fulfilling deliverance?
There is always something more
as the night sky screams
of a great artist's touch
to erase my feeble dreams
The mountains reach to touch it
as the stars throw down their spears
the earth is effortlessly watered
with the cloud's endless tears
The world is vast,
the task is great
to seek your heart
Is my goal to make.
I'll say what you want,
I'll run if you just tell me
until finally I'm made into
the man you want me to be.

Circles

When your eyes are elsewhere
and all I need is a conversation
This is the last time, I swear
that I'll search for the motivation
To tell you what you want to hear -
the reason I have your attention
to further dreams and end fears,
but my feelings were never mentioned
Restless eyes wonder why
your heart always seems to stray so far
just promise me that you'll always try
to find the words you couldn't find before
These people come, these people go
most of them are just for show
this time I just want you to know
I can't chase you forever...

Insomnia

Sleep never comes easy
when your on my mind
I long to dream of you,
but dreams are hard to find
These dreams are Heaven
awake without you is Hell
The line between is fading,
and now I just can't tell
I'm too tired
It's too late
My eyes are closed,
to Heaven's glory gate
Heaven is of no consequence
Hell is of unbearable pain
Both draw their lines,
and nothing I gain
Of the two I don't know
I'm wondering which is true
And then reality sets in,
The dream is finally through.
