Unglued - 1/6/10

I said I'd share it with you
And now it's all falling down
That's when it came unglued
Back when you came around

You said you'd take my hand
You said you wouldn't let go
You said you'd be a new man
But I didn't know

What you were doing
Where you were
I think I'm losing
This to her

She said she was sorry
And I said it's over
I should have been wary
When you were hungover

The signs they were there
But I couldn't see
I found it unfair
Her eyes full of glee

I watched you with her
I waited some time
I've now given up
On calling you mine

Exteriors - 1/5/10

All they want
Is a not-so-empty bed
And all they need
Is a place to lay their heads

Coming out of the cage
They thought they were doing fine
But they left out the rage
And they peeled back the rind

Now the exterior's gone
And they're losing their heads
Been like this all along
Don't you wish you were dead?

And now the motive's intact
And everyone's here
But is it all just an act?
As they drown in their fears

And now it's falling
The time runs off track
Mysterious calling
Take it back

All they want
Is a not-so-empty bed
And all they need
Is a place to lay their heads
They don't want to wait
Years and years
It'll be too late
To finish what they started
Because the path
It was never charted

An endless, streaming shower
Of raging, hell-bent lies
And in the end it will devour
The best parts, so shut your eyes

They need to turn time
Around and 'round again
They already crossed a line
The last time they turned the bend

And when it's over
It won't end
It's moving slower
Around the bend

All they want
Is a not-so-empty bed
And all they need
Is a place to lay their heads
They don't want to wait
Years and years
It'll be too late
To finish what they started
Because the path
It was never charted

And when they return
The cage, it will be their friend
Inside they burn
But it's not yet the end

Time to wait longer
Now it's coming to a close
The beginning was stronger
But the future is still a road

All they want
Is a not-so-empty bed
They don't want to wait
And all they need
Is a place to lay their heads

Living Through Lyrics - 7/29/09

The power is yours
The song is your own
To open the doors
To bring light to unknown

The music so intense
The speakers might bleed
The sounds jump the fence
Ride away on the steed

The lyrics are your life
If you let them be
They can take away the strife
Of the rest, of you and me

You can live through the lyrics
Live on forever
Just let one person hear it
And you’ve opened the endeavor

I feel it necessary to make an 'about' section for this one.
Was working on a lesson of language arts, and wound up with this. Don't really care for it, at all, but I figured I'd post it anyway.

Admiration and Appreciation - 7/22/09

Not expecting admiration
Or aspiring for a crown
Not looking for appreciation
Just waiting for a letdown

Waiting for a call
Waiting for someone
Nothing left but to fall
And we’re expecting no one

A strange, numb feeling
In a broken home
There is no time for healing
We still feel alone

Soon it will be lost
The expectations hover
It comes at a cost
Just until it’s over
