Alone I Die, Lest I Learn To Fly

isolated on this lonely isle

filthy, dirty, wretched, and vile

GRAY MATTER

twas it a matter of conscience?

how then twas much of me conscious?

encyclopedia of MORALS

gone over and over and over again

to this torment shall there be no end?

WHEN BOUNDARIES BETRAY US

twas never meant to do harm

must then be taken so by his charm

the year of MAGICAL THINKING

became a score and two of its dark spell

secretly keeping in me heart this hell

Our Game

twas to be so innocent but of course

yea innocence twas lost through subtle force

I NEVER PROMISED YOU A ROSE GARDEN

memories forget any pledge be made

but untold confessions of being afraid

F.I.A.S.C.O

be tangled in this failure

abandoned feel and out of favor

Body and Soul

harm not one without the other

heal not one without another

A Death of Innocence

isolated in this lone isle

must me thoughts and I reconcile

Once Upon A Time

a long long time ago

in a place I used to know

Harvest of Yesterdays

is this reaping what was sown?

finally paying off the loan?

HOW TO GET WELL

I want to be well, I want to be well

I want to be well, I just want to yell!

SILENT NO MORE

can’t keep this bottled up

can’t keep covering up

TELL ME MORE

will you listen, really listen?

cuz it’s compassion I’m really missin’

DARE TO DREAM

let it flow

feel the glow

Girls Forever Brave and True

I can be one

Yes, I am one

MEMORIES

painful stabs, repeating past

oh, how long will it last?

Yesterday, I Cried

they say it’s okay

good to let it out each day

PROMISES

this too shall pass

and I will be healed at last!

WHAT REMAINS

put the pieces back together

feel in the process, feel better

Never Forget

my whole is greater than the sum of my brokenness

faith, hope, and love bring me wholesomeness

FALL & RISE

no matter how hard and far I fell

it is never too hard or far to get well
