Wake! I'm getting something new I'm fighting over fighting over you. You say that it's ok But I know what that means I must have stolen it there from a thief Next in line? But in the end it's only you Who defines what his love means Say “like” to someone who loves you More than lust could fake, I knew I wish I had done all you wanted me to But I can’t be as heartless as you Wake! I'm getting something new I'm getting over getting over you Yes, that's a no, I said These days are done for me I'm afraid It's just a suicide day Or "Mr. Lennon?" hour And this is my dilemma now Say “like” to someone who loves you More than lust could fake, I knew I wish I had done all you wanted me to But I can’t be as heartless as you Just remember the one who loved you My other self would say so much But now that the only side you'll see is sober You do what you can 'til it's over And I’ll do what I can 'til it's over over over

I remember staring into your eyes They ran deep and dark Speak of all I could be in your life You'd whisper things of torturing I don't mind, just as long you're satisfied Stay right here, just before my eyes Pills, they offer craze Taken forty times a day they can't create What ain't here when I'm awake Coating all I do is the absence of you And the hearts beat faster, Her taste - never sweeter, With a breath never deeper, Brings to life... Stay right here, just for the night

2am and driving Eyes let down and dying Night's cold and eyes colder Take a breath Take myself Because nothing's left And I lay in bed and wonder How are you this day? Can i dream of you? So perfect, together in disarray But you're too far away now Dreaming again, I see But someday, I won't be Set myself up again To be let down, and taken down Oh it's coming around I'm not alone but I should be By this time next time Yeah, next time I'm here with you Right here with you But someday Someday I won't be
2005
Dear Unknown, I’ve waited so long for you here now Imagine the day when we know how The story goes Thus I gather here and stay awake To prevent dreaming of you Now a healthy absence And a silent stillness Prevents dreaming of you Some time has passed But you're still my source Of life, and drive, and woe And hello bereavement Dreams come rescue me Put an end to this day Consider me the least original But the one who cares Consider me the one who waits But dies waiting

Is this what you mean by love When you run away? Is this what you mean by love When you say my name? Is this what you mean by real When you let it die? And what's left of us Withers away Don't gather your thoughts Because we're all the same Atonal wreckage This once-perfect harmony dies You say it's happening again Can you feel it now, stealing our days Piercing my thoughts with words of truth With the same voice that I once knew as you
2002
Always wanted the best To live a life among the rest Yet with none I’m impressed Still I search where it’s shone So many faults to find All of which are my kind For gold once mined Would be away thrown And my pain Is causing me to stay the same All my life and my ways Are leading me to a better place In another place
2002
If I could amend the years I'd start with my earliest tears Attaining all the same fears And remembering my debts Forgetting all my loans Confiding not on my own Emerging with something unknown Life without regrets And the ways of our pastime, And the days in our lifetime, And the strays for whom it's wartime, These all I have herein striven Are we all here not forgiven For this we all pay within Always wanted the best to live a life among the rest Yet with none I'm impressed Still I search where it's shone So many faults to find All of which are my kind For gold once mined Would be away thrown All of my life I'll deny this sickness All-engaging All of my life I'll die from this sickness Mind-enraging
2001
Is this it? Is this where I’ve made it The least I can do is my best, and I hate it Searching for a sign My eyes are blind Yielding all state of mind Leaving my thoughts behind... If I could live my life for another day, would my life change?
2000
It's the simple things That I adore in you, My indescribable everything I cannot see it any other way For what it's worth You’re worth my all I want to feel your every move Move with me You are my indescribable everything It's the simple things That I adore in you The way you walk The things you say The way you move Your perfect hair Gracefully falls on your face And once I'm there, I can't escape Take me to that place so far away That we know so well Show me your love like I know you can
1999
What I do means nil to me Genuineness, my longing I give my all to a valid plea In search of this vague reality I am stilled by my wronging Longing for truth Painting this picture as my portrait Yet my eyes are blind Reality, as certainty A law in itself Questioning, inquiring To no prevail And now I fold
