Us
I sang a song
upon that hill
wishing you would hear
but the trees and birds
were all that heard
for you were nowhere near
I raised a note
so full of hurt
up to the heavens high
and without you,
I laid my pain
upon that midnight sky
I cursed the stars,
forevermore
my words so black with hate
but they cursed back
and left me ...

i’d lock myself up
so sealed away
in a tower, high up in the sky
away from all else
bleak, sorrowful peace
would give my own tears
time to dry
i could wake up alone
in this castle of hurt
and feel my dreams fade away
but the scene about us
where you stand at my side
is the one i still dream
to this day
i could hear the birds sing

Tearboats
Cry me a river
so I know you can feel
the heartache which splits me apart
in hopes you will come
with a stick of glue
get me that violin
and sing me a song
for I’d play,
until my fingers fell off
just to hear you sing along
or come kiss me goodnight
bless me with your gentle touch
and look at me with those glittering stars
so I may fall asleep

what I could be, and would
if I took my words and
made them come true
or is that unwise?
to wish for a change
for the dreams to leave my mind
and join the sunlight around me
I want to climb the tallest mountains
and trees
I would fall i...

Stains
once stood a great warrior
of malice and pride
with no battle too bloody
for his hungering eyes
his blade, sharp and stained
stood tall at his side
left in its wake
only dead men would lie
then, in the distance
that red, setting sun
gave a glimpse to the man
of the deeds he had done
the crimson and black
was all he could see
he saw not the...

Shorebreak
the waves, with their
inviting rhythm
unwavering in their steady assault
offering solace in the overwash
they will beat you senseless
throw you around without a
secound thought
like a doll
ragged, aching
the waves, with their
impregnable rhythm
neither merciful nor sudden
the pain, at least
you can expect
while the scintillating breeze
carries the...
