Save me
The body is broken
The heart is fragile
I hide behind the smiles
You see only what you want
A reflection of yourself
Does that make you feel better?
I let you see what you can handle.
Masks protect me from the world
No one knows my name
They see the girl in the mirror
The pretty painted face
Green eyes that hide hatred
Hate that fuels the rage
I cut myself to know I bleed
Did you really think you knew me?
I lie in the dark and weep
Pain, it makes me bitter
I feel no hope, no love
There is no warmth on my face
No sun to guide my way
I beg the world for salvation
I'll let you see me
Masks protect me from the world
No one knows my name
They see the girl in the mirror
The pretty painted face
Green eyes that hide hatred
Hate that fuels the rage
I cut myself to know I bleed
Did you really think you knew me?
Save me....
Please save me.....
Take away my pain.....
Save me....
I Want You.
I want you when the shades of eve are falling
And purple shadows drift across the land:
When sleepy birds to loving mates are calling-
I want the soothing softness of your hand.
I want you when the stars shine up above me,
And heaven’s flooded with the bright moonlight:
I want you with your arms and lips to love me
Throughout the wonder watches of the night.
I want you when in dreams I still remember
The ling’ring of your kiss-for old time’s sake-
with all your gentle ways, so sweetly tender,
I want you in the morning when I wake.
I want you when the day is at its noontime
Sun-steeped and quiet, or drenched with sheets of rain;
I want you when the roses bloom in June-time;
I want you when the violets come again.
I want you when my soul is thrilled with passion;
I want you when I’m weary and depressed;
I want you when in lazy, slumbrous fashion
My senses need the haven of your breast.
I want you when through field and wood I’m roaming;
I want you when I’m standing on the shore;
I want you when the summer birds are homing-
And when they’ve flown-I want you more and more.
I want you, Dear, through every changing season;
I want you with a tear or with a smile;
I want you more than any rhyme or reason-
I want you, want you, want you-all the while.
My serenity (12/2/04)
The darkness blooms beyond sight
Inside myself i hide
I've given over to the temptation
of the thoughts inside my head
I beg for forgiveness for my sins
Only silence answers
I beg to understand my place
Please give me the eyes to see
Chorus:
God grant me the serenity
Grant me the right to believe
Give me the eyes to see beyond the dark
I accept what I cannot change
Yet I lack the courage to fight
Will you stand beside or forsake me
God grant me the serenity
I stand here before you
Naked and alone
I run from what I don't understand
only shadows of a former life
I've broken myself
unmending pieces fall around me
I beg to find my home
Please show me the way
Chorus:
God grant me the serenity
Grant me the right to believe
Give me the eyes to see beyond the dark
I accept what I cannot change
Yet I lack the courage to fight
Will you stand beside or forsake me
God grant me the serenity
Every Word
I said "I'm a victim of love"
You said "Only of circumstance"
Maybe I didn't try hard enough
Or I simply failed to dance
I take these pills to fill my soul
But somehow I feel empty
I drink them down with cheap alcohol
But I simply just forget me
I find myself so far in
I cannot see the way out
I do not know how to begin
Nothing left but shadows of doubt
I had to run, I drove away
To put you far behind me
But at the end of every day
You are still all that I can see
Your voice echoes in my head
Pushing me to be more than I am
I heard every word you said
I am doing the best I can
So, I'll pick myself up one more time
And make myself get out of bed
I'll never know the reason or rhyme
But I'll remember every word you said.
I look out across the land and I see so many things,
war, poverty, military, but then someone begins to sing,
a tiny voice dying to be heard, lost in a cold, dark wasteland,
One singular soul crying out, ready to take a stand.
They say music soothes the savage beast,
Forcing hope upon us, like an overzealous priest.
Our pain, misery and doubt drift away upon the strains,
washed away into the deep like the tiniest of grains.
Each melody brings new faith in the world we see,
and teaches us to be more than we were made to be.
When the world seems to weigh more than you can bare,
look inside your heart and find your inner song to share.
