Commotion

It's hard to find the Superman inside
When I'm too busy flying around.
The weaknesses and nemesis finally have a source
So I'm keeping them at bay from the love that I found.

I've been watching these vilians
thinking that some where truly my friends.
Only to look over at you
wearing them like a fashion trend.

So it's baby steps that move me forward
to this new life I have now married.
no thanks to you for supplying the matches
that burned bridges where my steps once carried.

What It Must Be Like

i can't imagine what it must be like to be you,
looking around to see what people's perception must be.
fear paralizing
knowing that acceptance by the masses never comes free.

i can't imagine what it must be like to be you,
finding comfort and contentment in relationships that were never real.
since you found that hatred has no nourishment,
can true love be enough of a meal?

i can't imagine what it must be like to be you,
to think that out of sight, out of mind really works.
your loneliness is just grasping
only to find favor from all these jerks.

i can't imagine what it must be like to be you,
just hoping to get back to the road you once traveled.
blind spots, pot holes and stop signs are a henderance
but not enough to still have heads being bobbled.

i can't imagine what it must be like to be you,
as you long for a daily party in your honor.
but be warned about those streamers and cake at the celebration,
they are there for your hanging and holes that need plaster.

i can't imagine what it must be like to be you,
giving everyone an emotional blow job just to seek acceptance
but when will you realize that taste in your mouth
only changes when you find your face stuffed with repentence.

Thrive

No one likes to hurt!

We never want to go back to a pain we once felt!

We try to undo the wrongs

In hopes that the scars might melt!


I say bring IT ON!

Not saying I want to live in misery,

My moments of pain draw my focus and inspiration.

That's why songs about pain sell much better then those that are happy.


In the ratio of our lives, what portion is pain?

What is happy or content?

God knows you can be content and not feel happy.

But in that muck We have friends He as sent.


It's seems worth it to go thru those bad times

so you are reminded who loves you and just how much.

You could choose to put that pain into something creative.

Instead of days filled with screams, yells and punch.


You know you wanna make others feel as bad as you,

it's not the right way to harness that energy.

The biggest joy out of pain is looking at what creative things you pulled out of yourself

With less demolition that leaves nothing but debris.


So embrace your pain!

Convert it into something amazing, full of love,

So you can put out the welcome mat

For an old friend out to show you what you are made of.

my heart has expired

my heart has expired
not due to death
not due to disease but guilt
but death seemed easier
then the expiration I've felt

it's like meat that expires
the smell lingers
the taste too
can't seem to get it off my fingers

even the cost i saved when i bought it
i knew deals couldn't be as good as they seem
never compares to what I felt as I renched it

no more bargains
bargains only settle for saving I required
more for my heart
that has now expired

highway

life will no longer slip through my fingers
my passion and love was ripped away
as time has healed
the emotions that lingers

ideas race
love hightening
at passion's pace
in a life full of contending

the grass isn't greener
it's thicker and meaner
i've now been to the bottom and back
with a snapshot of satan eating my life like a snack

this is my exit
i must get off and stop
using momentum to hurl
my bottom back to the top

if you were a melody

if you were a melody
it wouldn't be the kind that's teeth rotting sweet
due to your life long before you and I would meet,
it'd be the one that's driven by passion and scars
your sounds of blues, rhythm and soul helps others know where they are.

if you were a melody
people would listen and be off on a journey
it's a been-there-done-that which I can't sing very bouncy
to far away places that seem familiar to them
you're a melody for the devoted, longing for life to ceasing dim.

your notes
your tone
not all in perfect pitch
your flow
your composition
needs you to scratch an itch.

if you were a melody
i could sit and listen all day
after years of looking the other way
it's now the one I would wear out
your tune is what i can't live without.

The Show

what chemistry we had
that turned out bad
we knew thoughts the other was thinkin
before and after that we didn't have to mention
i'd be lying to say i don't miss it
and lying...well i no longer do that shit
from hand signals to glances
if only we could get one of those second chances

missin, kissin ,dissin

since the day you left i've tried to get over you
it became harder with each attempt
i found myself full of envy just at the thought of consuming your time
it's now just my heart settling from the way you left...abrupt!
i felt left holding the bag
it was filled with everything i wanted to give you
i finally put that bag away because I know you won't be back
and I can't give that to another, who knew?
it hurts to know a collection of love is just sitting there unused
the sights and sounds
every freakin one around
reminds me of our time
so that bag will remain sealed...what a crime!

Shiver

i shiver at thoughts of what i did to your heart
i shiver when i think of the love you gave
i shiver at the cold i feel each night that we're apart
i shiver to know that i'll never cradle you all on how i behaved
i shiver when i hear our song
i shiver because i was wrong
i shiver to know you're always with me
i shiver when i realzie we could never be

The Text

it all started when i hit send
now the regret won't seem to end
it's not even really regret
just more like I lost a bet
i place my wager for less then 15 cents
and now my hurts feels like I fail of a fence

it was things like "miss you", "love you" and "call me"
until hundreds of dollars later I could see
those cute little abbreviations
that lead to more then simple masterbation
have my head and heart fighting constantly
all due to some text i used inappropirately
