american girl

the night was still
all that could be heard were the waves
father sun had given into mother moon
birds in the distance
stars in the horizon
then there were two
you & i
completely in sync.

infinity blues

so let them all go now... into the blue
where they can live like nothing before
small town girl, nothing to show for
nothing to live for
five foot four, long dark hair
born in the month of july
thou she tried her hardest, she never quite got there
till she met with the lord and ran with the devil
see her now still running in the cold, cold rain
showing a bit more after the struggle
standing in the starlight, completly motionless
i lover her all too much, yet nothing to show for
wishing she could just run back into my arms
yet it just won't happen
so let them all go now... into the blue
love me like you did on your birthday
here i am... standing
small town boy, with nothing at his feet
but i can give you whatever you need
have mercy for my poor heart and quit running away
this is the last show we'll ever have before the devil comes for me
and throws me straight into the blue
please sweet mercy, let me go, let me run
here she comes, but not alone
a showdown is about to commence, one i know i cannot walk away from
my pain is felt over ocean and desert
the duel is done and i'm caught in an endless dream
with a cheap cigarette and a box full of matches
while i am left here
you still run into the blue

a summer beneath the trees

when you see the light, just keep running
run twords what you know is right
your dying and you know exactly why
but you feel your time isin't quite up
the gun in his hand, the roses on the ground
the scene of the massacre is here
a summer beneath the trees is what you always wanted
but your final stand is here and now
something didn't go quite right, everything is missed
and not taken into account for
this is just the calm before the storm
a life so secure, never pushed out into the real world
kicked in the face, a rebel you've become
young at the tender age of just eighteen
everything is not at your feet
when you see the light, just keep running
run twords what you know is right
your dying and you know exactly why
but you feel your time isin't quite up
a fatal mistake has been made
after a drink or two and a blackout on coke
nothis is as it's suppose to be
the world is turned upside down
and there you lay with a bullet in your head
and a heart filled with love
a summer beneath the trees you'll never see
just a life time chasing that bright, bright light

Lonely Nights

remember all those nights?
those nights we would run,
those nights we would play.
oh please tell me you remember.
i had a blast when we would do this for hours on end.

Time & Space

and this is how it starts; hey, hey
everything you know is gone and it won't come back
this is all just a test for what is coming up next
fasten your seat belts, the ride is about to begin
up, up, up, up, away we go

la la la la-di la-di hahaha
please tell me love, boy meets girl, boy loves girl, boy loses girl
that is the past, time has told your mind to forget this
today is the present, it's all still the same
trash, trash, trash throw it all away
we've come far in our lives and you better believe that we've grown up worlds away

time to throw it away
you know it's what we always do
time and space really don't know
not even the universe can imagine
so happy together
it's all just a lie

this is where the music swells
and the words just pour out of my mouth
i am sure that this moment here will die because i just can't stand the pain
the lyrics wrote themselves
keep doing what you do because this is for you
this is just a waste of time

you know you were just what i needed
and you just went threw the roof
because of everything that you've done
baby, your in space now
nothing can hurt you
your gone now, no one get's hurt

so time to throw it away
you know it's what we always do
time and space really don't know
not even the universe can imagine
so happy together
it's all just a lie

so time to throw it away
you know it's what we always do
time and space really don't know
not even the universe can imagine
so happy together
it's all just a lie

oooo, ahhh
everything has now been said
but first an update
we're doing just fine
the blackbirds & cardinals have sung our song
and we have just flown away into space

One Man Circus

did you hear that trumpet sound, the day he took the plunge
nothing had prepared you for the shock
but not that has passed, open up, you silly book
let that old chapter burn away into your memory
and let's start filling these blank pages with something nice
better than any story ever told
help me grab this pencil to scribble everything you've never done

you know everything's fine when it's just you and i
wasting the night away with awkward words lost in the sky
this is when everything feels perfect and time extends
everything's in it's right place, slow it down now
spend a day inside my head, here's everything i've always wanted to say

i hear her sing, that angel in my head
she just continues to hum along that bittersweet tune
and girl you know i'll admit
that i truly do love it with all my heart
but let's keep this secret, just fly away bird

let's get caught up in a sea of trees
keep turning these pages cause it was destined to be
girl you know this was never meant to happen
wars waged over what would happen, words thrown out on the table
but you know i won't answer, just keep saying those magic words
hush, slow down, not just yet... GO!

now let me bring everyone up to speed
understand this please, this is no fake, only real
if i could only explain everything, you would completely understand
you this it's a setup and you know i'm afraid
so just grab me now and kiss me like you never have
and i'll untangle myself and tell you i love you

An Ode To...

my friend, i've known you for years, yet we've never truly met
your beauty is magnificent, yet your equally horrific
while gazing at you, i forget of everything all together
fill my lungs to the top, i'm drowning
you'd never hurt me, only hurt myself
the closes thing i'll ever come to reaching the stars
just like the space above, your an infinite abyss
to say the truth my friend, i've completely fallen for you
even she, the moon, is in love
this is your song, now take me
so much life lies within you, yet death still looms
never to myself, you belong to the world
i lay and all i hear is that bittersweet sound
as you glisten in the night sky, you being to weep

No Name #12

"is this the end?" you said, i just walked right out of your life
it's been a few weeks since that day, life still went on
not a single thing changed for our two souls
should it have? maybe, but nothing
another day passes, the clock just ticks away
i saw you in a dream list night, it's all coming back to me
you ran from me, there i stood
the farther you ran, the harder you cried
motionless, gun in hand, i yelled at you
"stop running before i shoot you down girl!"
the air was as strong as a machine in my mind
i'm a criminal and nothing can change that
turning around, you slowly walked back
fall into my arms, it's all you could do
it's all that was done
quickly and softly you spoke, "you say i'm dead? that's a lie.
your the one who's lost it all."
run, run, run, keep running
it's all that could be done
your missed

Young Lust

we're not getting any younger, so let's move on
take a deep breath and completely let go
don't be afraid, nothing is going to happen
the work is being done, totally motionless
you lie still, i'm sweating up a storm
stop you said softly in my ear, you know i can't

Laff In The Dark

stepping on to the spaceship, thinking bout the world
why was i leaving? why did you leave?
let's go, keep keep keep stepping on that peddle
a thousand light years away, your way to far away
i really hope this don't change a thing
some quick dialogue was being spoken
let's take a break, i'm leaving
why? i need to go to space
i love you, blast off!
dramatic guitar chords, over exaggerated screams
that's all you ever really were
thinking perfection could be achieved
interstellar telecasts streaming throughout the universe
sweet little pop songs playing thru my speakers
the mission seems to be a complete failure
let's keep going till she gets back
this space journey just turned into a space opera
broadcasting to billions: across the galaxy
let it be known right now
it's not done till i say it
just like the power of the sun, i'm burning
just like the beauty of the moon, your shining
"everything seems to be good on the ship captain"
the opera continues, it won't stop till there's a happy ending
playing the villain was never my plan, but i'm no hero
if i don't turn back now, i'll blast into oblivion
the decision is finally made, there is no other one
"turn the ship around, i'm not well"
"why is that?"
"she's not here"
"a problem has occurred"
there she was out in the open, that blackhole
faster than a lightning bolt it came, faster than sound, i flew
complete panic sets in, the orchestra begins to speed up
suddenly everything get's quite, open those eyes
ships been out for a few months, feels like an eternity
first steps off the craft, i sense her sweet presence
that beauty still resembles the moon and i a burnt out star
"i've completely fallen for you"
"is that so?"
"i was afraid"
"that's a lie"
"should i walk?"
to say the truth, this opera never ended
keep the journey going, it's the ride i've always wanted
the voyage continues, baby your coming with me
burst into flames, drown in the sea
"we blast off in the morning"

set me up with your girlfriends.

it's a new day.
everything has passed.
it's the calm before the storm.
something big is going to happen.
it's huge.
immense.
i can feel it.
the earth beings to shake.
and than.
all of a sudden.
there is nothing.
everything stops.
everything breaks.
it's been broken.
it's all done.
