lyrics

So no one told your life wasGonna be this wayYour job's a jokey brokeYour love life's D.O.A.It's like you're always stuckIn second gearWhen it hasn't been your dayYour week, your monthOr even your year but,I'll be there for youWhen the rain starts to pourI'll be there for youLike I've been there beforeI'll be there for you'Cause you're there for me tooYou're still in bed at tenand work began at eightYou burned your breakfastSo far things are going greatYour mother warned you there'd beDays like theseBut she didn't tell you whenThe world has brought youDown to your knees thatI'll be there for youWhen the rain starts to pourI'll be there for youLike I've been there beforeI'll be there for you'Cause you're there for me too

Protect me from my friendsI can take care of my enemies

I'd rather live one day as a lionthan live a hundred years as a sheepI'd rather reign in Hell than serve in Heavenlive my dream out in reality and not in my dreams

Tears flood in youyour eyes burningyour heart scars with my name scratched deepMy face is gonemy heart betrayed by your lullabiesI__ a shadow of a girl insideHands are touching younothing takes the place of youHeart wrench, weeps goodbyeLullabies, beautiful and trustingBarely breathing as they break into dustLonely corners meSweeps me off my feetShows me it was better for meFingertips holding closeyour grip not as softFollows me to an empty bedI can__ stop the weakening of my soulmy body is dyingyour tune is holding my mindLet me gosee what I doNo controlNo youYou whisper your sweet goodbyeIf it is small it won__ interrupt my sleepBut my heart you keepYou say it__ for meBut who would be happy?Alone left out in the cold

I always hated...all sad songs. I thought they made happy people miserable. Now I think I understand them better. Bards write them because they can't hold them back. Sadness has got to flow out or it gets stuck and turns bitter.

Try to knock us down, we'll get up every time. "24/Seven

But these clouds won__ leaveWalk awayBarely breathingAs I__ lying on the floorTake my heartAs you__e leavingI don__ need it anymore

I__ passing the bar Where you first got in my car I__ not ashamed to admit That it__ you I won__ forget I saved your cigarettes andBad habits I regret But the hours flew by like cloudsWhenever I had you around Parachute loverTake me awayFrom the plane that went crashing And the earth that__ in flamesSaving you is saving me High above the redwood treesBut down below I see shadows And parachute debris We're drifting like children Along for the rideEach time we find love Another parachute arrivesOur madness will burn As bright as the sunAnd I__l keep finding lovers But you were the one

Don't be afraid of the darkLook insideGrab your heartLet it shineIf it's dark outsideShine your light

In the wake of my broken dreamsIn the dirt and the dust and the days that felt like weeks.I found the person that I__ meant to be__ause when I felt like giving upWhen death was closing inI shut my eyesAnd black out the darkness with light from insideI__e given moreThan what I__e gotI__e given allOf what I__ notI__e watched this war consume all that we could becomeFacing my fears in the darkBut if I dieBefore it__ donePlease take these wordsMy final thoughtsThe only way to shine your light is in the dark.Never let life kill your sparkThis is the falloutYeah it__ the end of the worldWe__l spread the noise to everyone and let them all know you heardA system meltdownIt__ time we exposeThe 'cause of chaos is our ownI__e given moreThan what I__e gotI__e given allOf what I__ notI__e watched this war consume all that we could becomeFacing my fears in the darkBut if I dieBefore it__ donePlease take these wordsMy final thoughtsThe only way to shine your light is in the dark.Never let life kill your sparkNever let life kill your sparkNever let life kill your sparkFacing my fears in the darkI__e given moreThan what I__e gotI__e given allOf what I__ notI__e watched this war consume all that we could becomeIf I dieBefore it__ donePlease take these wordsMy final thoughtsThe only way to shine your light is in the dark.Never let life kill your spark..

No one compares to you, but there's no you, except in my dreams tonight.

I liked old time music but what i meant by that was the period from the 1930s through the 60s, nothing before and little after._Performers like fats waller, Sinatra, billie holiday, louis armstrong, rosemary clooney, ella, sammy Davis Jr, dean martin... If the lyrics weren't stupid. Words were important.

I once began to ask around what constitutes a good poem. It felt petty, in a sense. A boy would need no help in deciding which girls he thinks are pretty.

I could be anything but for the faults that I've acquired on my way.

I enjoy poetry where I can talk as bizarre as I please, but theology or philosophy, I always respect the truth by taking it a step further.

If you're not creating, you're disintegrating.

A steampunk nationBaby pollution rises up then the loving comes arraigning 'causeOur art's official and only partially artificialAnd our heart's in the middle of sharp hardened shards of metal butThere's not where it settlesBecause it's beating to the steaming of God's hottest pot or kettleAnd now we face it, this creation we made toTo save our craving for a synthetic rebelnation it'sOur safeway they make into a pathetic revelationIn our steampunk nationOur steampunk nation

Astray from a deep sleep chronic as I write by phonics, like insomnia I will always live the onyx night for revealing, and, upon it, still I'll steal the bright light of day right away just to keep building at speeds hypersonic.
