I hear another storm coming another tree down another tree down maybe this will be the one to clear it all out clear it all out I hope lightning strikes and burns it all down burns it all down thunder for your tiny mind to blow it all out blow it all out I hear the end is coming another lost soul another lost soul no one left to hear you crying let it all out let it all out

I'm paddling with all my might on into the windswept night in thundersnow she wants to go a single flame a single rose a feather left to catch the flow fallen from the wing she wants to go tissues in a pocket stuffed to stifle future tears to keep you here within to keep you here within teach me how to breathe baby breaths in this window where the heart is where the heart is I'm paddling with all my might on into the windswept night in thundersnow she wants to go a single flame a single rose a feather left to catch the flow fallen from the wing she wants to go

remember me the part you see this is only you I'll be cold stolen while you look the other way every rose every thorn remember me the part you see this is only you a heavy weight upon your head a certain point of view pull my heart out of the mud and take it where you go you look the other way remember me remember me remember me remember me the part that only you can see the part that you can see

we gave you a shelter we gave you a place in the bed and some others to walk in your claws need a clip and your teeth are quite big you're so gentle but some find you frightening you never asked to be born in a body that you can't control you never asked to be born in a world that suffers to keep you whole you watch with your mind and I cannot know what you see in your spin on reality I try to love it's never enough we do what we can to help every last one we miss you we miss you will you remember us will you remember we did our best to care

and I will lay me down on desecrated ground where all the sacred fires went out and you will be the one to see the empty naked heart

whither shall I follow shall I follow thee to a home uncertain everything placed differently to grapple with a shadow to battle with a thread where fingers meet the fingerless it gathers the assembly it fizzles in the rain it gathers and it passes into empty space again I am misty morning blurry eyes stripped of pretty words is this the end of who I'll ever be shall I follow thee shall I follow thee is this the end of who I'll ever be
18.
my sighs are brought to me for bread when will I see you again my beautiful friend we are the ones who know our days are shadow we gather and go my eye has beheld you today carry on we carry on would you return me back to dirt would you devour me I die I rise

what makes you think you could've done anything other than what you did what makes you think you should've been anything other than what makes you think you could've done anything other than the only thing you were ever gonna do you were ever gonna do and why does it make you so sad the only thing you ever had and it makes me sad what is this me that thinks that he should be any which way or other what makes you think you're in control

I've got no words for you my eyes are aching the rose is sleeping the birds have gone away and I wonder why I do this I wonder and wonder will I forgive myself tomorrow I've got no words for you my eyes are aching the rose is sleeping the birds have all gone away wonder why why am I still here why do I do this and will I forgive myself will I forgive myself tomorrow tomorrow

the moon is bright tonight I wonder if it's full tonight reflection of the deepest light that shines behind the dark you're there I know even though the shape of the shadows has changed from how it used to be and words confuse the sense of you that shines within my heart I dream we'll dance tonight and hold you in my arms tonight and twirl and glide without the fight that makes the days so hard you're there I know even though the shape of the shadows has changed from how it used to be near or far your shooting star will shine within my heart keep shining however old you are keep shining however old you are

I don't know where I'll be tomorrow I don't know where I will end up tomorrow I don't know who I'll see tomorrow I don't know who I'll be tomorrow take me in your arms tonight tonight take me in your arms tonight tonight while I'm alive while I'm alive while I'm alive while I'm alive while I'm alive while I'm alive while I'm alive while I'm alive I don't know where I will be so take me in your arms

with just one kiss I could turn with just one thought I could burn another circle in my arm another circle in my skin to place another circle in another circle in your eyes they keep me from my sleep your love I can't quite take it in
31.
who am I trying to please who am I trying to be why is it never good for you or good enough for me I can't find the focus I cant feed the beast you left me for your nest again the night gives no release how can I know you when I can't feel a thing how can I know you deep beneath my skin who am I pointing fingers at they're all reflecting me and even though I know this I still refuse to see oh let go and I will catch you in my open arms everything you are how can I know you when I can't feel a thing how can I know you deep beneath my skin

how much can I drink of the ocean my mind can't make head or tail of what my heart is howling how much can I retain of the stories I work so hard to spin that I hold so tight you chose me in this strange situation in this life with the weight of all the tears of every woman every man every child every eye that ever cried take this cup away from me bury my crown of thorns the glaring of the strip lights the tearing of the threads the turning of the wheels along the floor kicking up the dust I was disguised and I denied that I was there but it only made the struggle more painful maybe it will save me how can I bear this without losing face sobbing out my eyes and ears and drowning in the river you have to see the sadness for the love to shine come out of your hiding I will hold you through the night and when the morning breaks we'll flutter by the butterflies and dance another dance and cry one more time take this cup away from me bury my crown of thorns take this cup away from me bury my crown of thorns
