You're A Woman, I'm A Machine....


Take what you want
My head is full
Take what you need
My price is good
You want it all
I've seen it once
I've seen it all

Now that its over this weight is off my shoulder
Now that its over I love you more and more

I know that you
Would take my hand
If I were to
Give you the chance
You want it all
Just like you should
Our thoughts are pure
Our thoughts are good
Be what you want
You'll have it all
I've seen it once
I've seen it all

Sometimes you just got to open up.


The way you pulsate through my body
Everything about you gets my attention,
The way you slow down, or the way you speed up.
Every difference of you, I admire.
The way you captivate my soul,
Words can't even express the way I feel.
I want you with me forever,
All the soft ways you touch my soul,
No matter where I am,
I will always hear you in my head,
Or hear you aloud, amongst everyone.
I don't feel so alone anymore,
I never will,
If you stay with me, If you stay with me.
I'll never be ready to say goodbye.
You've truly touched me,
You've changed me,
I love you, music.

Running hillside, and losing miserably.

I never look back,
It smells like disaster.
If we are keeping score, the game is all yours.
I feel your eyes burning me,
Concentration peirces my skin.
Every tree I hide behind,
You can smell my fear.
Miles don't mean anything when you're on my case.
The pouring sweat is mixed with tears.
Running, running, running.
From what exactly?
You're always on my trail.

All I want is to be home,
I'm exhausted, on my haunches.
My slurred speech,
Mixed with absence of strength.
I'm yours for the taking.
Running, running, running.

Collapsed to my knees, finished.
Twigs break under your staunch steps,
Breathing heavily, yet you seem so satisfied.
A final goodbye you give me.
I am no longer
Running, running, running.

The travellers guide to heartache.


Winding roads,
Waves of the ocean;
Is what seperates me from you.
My heart beats to see you again.
Countries apart and you're not off my mind.
Your smile that melts me, lingers forever in my thoughs.
And it's like your right next to me,
It's like your holding my hand right now.
But before I get a chance to see you,
You've vanished; and the warm sensation on my hand
Is now nothing but fresh air.
Every love song that plays on the radio
Reminds me of the days back home, where
We danced, and held each other in a loving embrace.

The look you used to give me, when I made a silly remark.
The way you held me, as if tomorrow was safely in your hands.
The way the moon glistens in your eye every full moon.
This is what I live for.
Words can't even comprehend the way you make me feel.

Maniac

The sky, cracked with blood it stared piercingly with grey eyes,
The sky, ominous all the way to the horizon, knows all my secrets.
That fateful day still scars in my mind,
And I am remembered by that, every time
I see my wrists.
And your words,
Your words, they surely kill.
There was no where to run, as the flood started to swell.


A film reel of memories flickers in sepia through my mind.


A mental patient sits in a chair, twitching uncertainly.
A smirk that breaks glass, so evil. It tattoos in my mind forever.
The shackles that once were holding this character down,
Break. Something is not right.
Sepia turns to colour, and it begins to feel all too real, again.
Maniacally he starts to laugh, it sends shivers down my spine.
A pointed finger, in my direction.
As I do nothing, but swallow my fear.


What happened next, is a smudge of reality.
I tell myself not to remember it,
It defined my character, it defined my life.
No matter where I tried to run,
You're face still danced with my mind.
Your silhouette sat on my heart.
I broke down in tears, this was a nightmare.


The scissors you held in your hand,
It reflected fear from my eyes.
Your incoherent whispers,
Echoed through my judgement as I stared deep within your heartless figure.
Before I knew it you had stabbed me,
The blood filtered out of me, I stared to fall.
Maniacally you laughed.
Maniacally you stole my last remains as a person.


I wake up, strapped into a jacket
Strapped into a chair.
A room of mirrors, they all point to the truth;
There wasn't anyone else in the room.
My nerves will be the death of me.
And as a laugh, it echoes down the hall.
The shackles that restrict me can't break.
The white room reflects me with secrets.
That there was no one else at all.

Eric

So much has happened in five years,
I've grown up like you wouldn't believe.
You'd be proud of who I've become, I know it.
I'm a leaguie through and through now,
I know that'd make you smile.
I'm somewhat of a role model,
I am a coach, and a team player.
Something you told me to always be.
You wouldn't like my haircut, you'd make fun of me.
I still haven't figured out your magic tricks,
Though I would beat you at snap. I know I would.
There's not one day that goes past though,
That you don't strike my mind.
Every teary-eyed memory makes me want you back.
You were something I always aspired to be,
Someone worth loving.
Five years today, and my heart still weeps.
I bare your middle name,
And I am glad that I do.

AWOL

I wasn't even ready to say goodbye,
It seemed like that kiss lasted forever
But didn't last long enough,
You are the hope that resides in me

I hope this goes well, cause for a long time
I will be living in hell away from you
And I ask myself 'is that something I can do?'

I wasn't even ready to say goodbye,
It seemed like that kiss lasted forever
But didn't last long enough,
We will continue in tune and it will be
Full of the warmth we shared so far
And it wasn't easy to walk into the car
Could you please give me something to hold on to?
Something deep that will remind me of you

With your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep
With your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep

With your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep
With your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep

I wasn't even ready to say goodbye,
It seemed like that kiss lasted (lasted, lasted) forever
But didn't last long enough,
You are the hope that resides in me
(with your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep)
And the next time, I drift off to sleep,
I hope you will be the next thing I see
(with your voice on the phone, I don't feel so alone
I feel you next to me, breathing in your sleep)

The buzzer sounded.

As the seconds gave out to the clock,
The buzzer sounded.
Five seasons, blood, sweat and tears.
A moment suspended in time, I stood speechless.
Arms raised as the winner they made me out to be,
You really couldn't ask for more.
The hardcourt reflected a silhouette of blurred colour,
Much like the memories from seasons past.
It's an unsettleing thought,
Knowing it's all over for me, tonight.
Every basket, every trey, every play,
History.
Team mates, friendships, memories,
History.
I'll never forget what it's made me.
The blue and yellow colours,
are intertwined as blood.
For a basketball heart,
Bounces more than it beats.

Lost and insecure, you found me.

Your arms are like my bed,
When I'm in them darling every thing's okay.
It may rain. It may pour. But when you're by my side,
It's always damn sunny girl.
The moon may shine, the brightest it can.
But it doesn't compare, to how you brighten up my life.
It could be black an white forever,
But your still the most gorgeous colours in my eyes.
The delicate touch your fingertips have on me,
It sends me into a spiral of overwhelming happiness.
Oh how every beautiful song screams your name,
It's the sweetest thing,
When voices speak, and I can only hear you.

You're always on my mind, but I don't want you off.

You, Me - At Six.


They say that problems come,
Come and pass and I am number one.
So take a look at your friends,
Oh Envy is a terrible thing
No you, your so smart, so smart you didn't call my bluff,
And if you could, you just would

If you run!
If you run!

f you run away you won't stay,
And that's so cool.
Is it like you wanted it to (are you scared?)
Sing, take it away take it away,
It's easy to stay, easy to stay,
When you know everything.

Stop.
You had us all convinced,
You were something, someone couldn't miss,
But what did we really miss?
You say...
You'll give it up, And you'll give it up all away,
You'll give it and give it up all away, give it up,
Give it up, give it away.

If you run!
If you run!


If you run away you won't stay,
And that's so cool.
Is it like you wanted it too? (Are you scared?)
Sing, take it away take it away,
It's so easy to stay, easy to stay,
When you know everything.
Ohhh...

I've got one good reason to keep you on your feet
I got another in the back, home in a seat.

Run around, just running your mouth,
Your by the hotel, whos doing you know?
And your so cool, so cool.
