Hanging in the balance,
Hanging in between ,
In a world of disarray,
Nothing is serene .
Life is looking up,
but your still looking down,
When you're trying hard to swim,
It just seems easier to drown.
Nothing seems to flow,
But the currents pull so hard,
You're in an ocean oh so big,
But in this cage you're still barred.
Desperate to get out,
Desperate to be free,
Blinded to what's on the inside,
The distance is all you care to see.
Blinded to your path,
Unable to find the key.
You're hanging in this cage,
Only wishing on what could be.
Lights are burning bright,
And you're still in the dark,
There are so many branches on your tree,
Yet all you see is bark.
Your hanging in the balance,
You need help to get out,
When reaching out your hand,
Your heart is filled with doubt.
Waiting on the next let down,
Waiting for the next drop,
Wishing you could make it better,
Wishing you were strong enough to make it stop.
All you want is a hand,
Not to help but just to hold,
Still as you look around,
All the arms seem to fold.
Your all on your own,
You can't see the light,
You just want things to get easy,
Not sure if you can handle another fight.
Still you struggle to stay afloat,
You're not ready to sink,
Your only trapped in this cage,
Because you can't see the missing link.
So you hang in this ballance,
You're not sure how to get out,
Your can't see the lighted way,
Because your heart is filled with doubt.

Close your eyes and count to ten. Breathe in deep and clear your mind. Feel your body start to drift away, you’re losing yourself inside. Your eyes are closed and your world is dark, but the images are starting to form. Drawing closer and passing by, in this brand new world you’re learning to fly. The shapes gain color and things become clearer. You go up higher and spin around, loving this magic new place that you have found. The world is clear and the sight is bright. The air is fresh and it’s piercing you deep. You’re starting over fresh with this new feeling of relief. The world is calm; this place is good. There is music in the distance but it's not coming from any direction. It’s all around you, just another part of this strange world. You hear the drums and you follow the beat, soaring and dipping, free roam of it all. This is your paradise, your haven away. This is the one place where everything’s okay. Just moments in when the trip's really starting to begin, the music pulls away and you realize this isn't a place you get to stay. Your eyes fly open and the pictures quickly change. You’re back to life and you're back to stress. The freedom is gone and the weight of life is back on you hard. The adventure is over and you're sad to see it go, but living in that moment is a feeling that you will always know.
Me and you and you and me.
The path we walk and the air we breathe.
Hand in hand and face to face.
Once again were lying alone in this place.
This place doesn't belong to us but it feels like it’s ours.
This place is not our kingdom and here we have no powers.
But nobody is here and nobody can stop us.
Nobody can see us and nobody can make a fuss.
In this place it’s just you and me.
And in this place we just feel so free.
We stare up to the sky as we lie in the grass.
We hold each other close and just laugh as we feel time pass.
We’ve got nowhere to go but we’ve got nowhere we have to be.
We’ve got nothing to our names but at least we can say we're free.
It’s the middle of the summer and the sky is made of gold.
As the moon meets the sun, we can picture ourselves growing old.
But the days go by and the magic is fading away.
This isn’t really a place I feel that I can stay.
I'm not yours and you’re not mine.
This world wasn’t made for me but that’s just fine.
We had our time but now it’s all done.
We didn’t last long but we sure had a nice run.
You gave me your world but it just wasn’t for me.
I wanted to go places and you just wanted to be free.
We stood together but we left apart.
What is more important, your head or your heart?
The path we walk and the air we breathe.
Hand in hand and face to face.
Once again were lying alone in this place.
This place doesn't belong to us but it feels like it’s ours.

I know you're not a mind reader but you know I'm not okay,
I know you can't tell what's wrong but I'm sure it's better that way.
You're just too busy and I'm just too scared,
I'd hate to just be another one of your burdens bared.
I know you're not a mind reader but you know I'm not okay,
You watch me crash further down with each and every day.
You're trying not to see and I'm trying not to show,
But every now and then I think you really ought to know.
You see me crying and you ask me why,
But I just come up with another elaborate lie.
You want to believe me and so you do,
Even though deep inside we both know it isn't true.
I know you're not a mind reader but you know I'm not okay,
I know you can't tell what's wrong but I'm sure it's better that way.
Even though it hurts I'm sure it's for the best,
You've got enough problems as it is, I should let you get some rest.

How do you have such a beautiful day in such a hideous place?
How do you have such beautiful things and amazing miracles when everything seems so bad and so corrupt?
It’s shocking that you can still find something so beautiful.
With every night there is a day and with every death there is a birth.
Things have deeper meanings, and when you find them they make sense.
Things aren’t always bad, sometimes things just are.
It’s such a beautiful day in this hideous place.
It’s a magical occasion when something so innocent and pure is born in such a corrupt place.
Something so beautiful and fresh.

You are my inspiration and you are my muse. You put the music in my body and the clarity in my mind. You make my thoughts flow. Pen to paper, I write them out as you keep more flowing in. You save my world and you fix my broken, pulling me back in, time and time again. If I were to lose you, my sanity would go with you. The sound track of my life would be no more. The beat of my heart and the tune of my soul. Everything I have and everything I am, you're wrapped up in them all.
Count to 100…....1.2.3..4..5…6….7…..7…8……… and as the numbers slow and begin to fade, everything’s turning dark. You’re going under and you feel the journey begin, the journey to the bottom of your soul. You’re out of your head and into your heart, searching for more. Why you’re here and how you feel it's time to find it all. So down we go and out we come to the bottom of your soul.
I know that I’m far away and I know that it’s hard. I know that you miss me and I know that it hurts. But just go to bed just close your eyes and I'll be there soon after you’re asleep. Just go to bed and close your eyes. I’ll be with you in your dreams. I’ll be there and I'll hold you close but I’m sorry I can’t stay. I will be there for a while but soon I'll be gone, not long before you wake But just know in your heart even if you can’t know in your head. You're not alone I’m by your side you’re never alone if you have me in mind. So just close your eyes and go to sleep. I’ll be there in your dreams. Just wait for me and you won’t be sorry but sadly I can’t stay. There after you're asleep and gone before you wake, you question if I showed up at all. But you remember me and it felt so real you know it must be true. So just close your eyes and go to sleep. I’ll be with you in your dreams. Forever and always it’s you and me. So just close your eyes and go to sleep. I’ll hold you through your dreams.
Once upon a time your world really wasn't so different from mine.
There was good and there was bad.
Day to day you were just trying to get by.
Far from under privileged, having everything you need.
None of it's what you want, there's a hunger you're so desperate to feed.
Your days were boring and your life was dull.
You used to be a dreamer but now your dreams are null.
Stuck on repeat each day is the same as the last.
You’re so desperate to move on and get out of the past.
Doors that were once open are starting to close.
You can’t help but regret the path that you chose.
But in the end it pulled together, I see it's working for you now.
I think mine might do the same, I just really wish that I knew how.
Because now it’s hard, I’m stressed beyond belief.
I’m just looking to the future in hope of a little relief.

Stand up or shut up, you can’t fight from your seat.
You came here, you started this, now accept your defeat.
You come in my kingdom, you challenge my king.
Now take to your feet, I’m sure this will sting.
Next time you should think, before you run your mouth.
You could have done this right, but instead it’s going south.
So stand up or shut up, you can’t fight from your sea.t
Finish what you started,take to your feet.

Tangled in the skies,
Twisted in the seas.
Rushing over land,
You feel it in the breeze.
The new found truth,
Everything feeling so free.
Evil's dead; the pure has won,
Everything’s as it’s meant to be.
Life can go on,
But the good will not stay.
You still feel it in the breeze,
But you know that the world can’t keep this way.
Old evil is dead,
But new evil is born.
For now the world is smooth,
But soon once again the world will be torn.
The war is never over,
It goes as far as anyone sees.
But for now good is in the lead,
And you can feel it in the breeze.
Twisted in the seas.

I know I hurt you and I know I betrayed you.I know you trusted me and you thought all my words were true, but I really meant them and they really were true. I didn't mean this, my intentions were always pure. I really loved you and I really wanted you. I never saw this coming, I never had a clue. I know it doesn't make it better. A heart is still broken and I know I can't fix this, the words were spoken but in the end it's best this way. If I waited, it would only hurt more.
In the end it's best this way. Your heart is not the only one I tore. I'm still so sorry and you know it's true, I'm still so sorry it cant be me and you.
In the end it's best this way. Your heart is not the only one I tore. I'm still so sorry and you know it's true, I'm still so sorry it cant be me and you.
Staying up all night just to hear you breathe,
we're not saying a word, but we're never hanging up.
Hours pass and we're still awake,
we've got things to do apart, and we would rather do nothing together.
You start to laugh and I start to cry,
the distance is killing us and we both know why.
I'm all you want and you're all I need.
You laugh a little harder and here are the words I start to plead,
"Why are you laughing this isn't a joke.
You're miles away and my heart is broke.
I cry on the phone and you laugh in my ear,
my world is ending and you're not shedding a single tear."
You're silent for a second but soon you reply,
I'm doing my best not to cry.
"I don't laugh because I'm happy, I laugh because I'm scared.
We're up all night talking, and you still question if I ever cared.
You know you're my world and I know I'm yours too.
I just miss you so much, I don't know what to do."
Still in tears, I begin to laugh too.
I know in my heart forever it's me and you.
Even though we struggle and even though sometimes things are bad,
you're always by my side and whenever I'm alone, you're the one I wish I had.

Walking a tightrope, trying so hard not to fall off,
the line's so thin and the fall's so far.
On one side is good, on one side is bad,
the air is thick and the tension's high.
The rope's so thin and the ground's so far,
this is a balancing act you cant do for long.
One step and then another,
so careful not to fall,
so high up you can't see the ground.
Should you just climb down or walk
back across taking another round?
You cross once more, risking it all.
You take a wrong step and you begin to fall.
Not sure which way you're falling,
still not seeing the ground,
lost in the darkness, you continue to fall.
Don't know if it's good or bad,
don't know if there's a net below.
Into the distance, you're words are the only thing I know.
I never should have been walking that rope,
never should have been in this sick show,
but now it's too late and this pain is all i know.

Magic is as Magic does, Magic will be just as Magic was, because Magic is as Magic does, and Magic will continue just because. Magic as an act or Magic as me, Magic is everything I am and everything I see, because Magic as the act or Magic as me, Magic is everything in the world to me.
My worst like your best,
That's right because I'm better than all the rest.
Your fight like my game,
I'll have you beat by the ending of this frame.
You can't doubt what you don't know,
You can't see what I don't show.
I'm on your level with grace and ease,
The skill I show is just a tease.
But when the playing ends and we really start,
There will be no question that we're worlds apart.
Underestimating me is your fatal flaw,
I've got thick skin but it's wearing raw.
Bite your tongue or watch your mouth,
This conversation is heading south.
We both know I'm not afraid,
and my patience quickly begins to fade.
My worst like your best,
I don't really see why you have to put it to a test.
Your fight like my game,
If we really do this you'll never see me the same.
Because you can't doubt what you don't know,
But I guess it's really time to show.
I'm on your level with grace and ease,
But I can step it up if that's what you really please.
Just remember that you asked for this,
And keep in mind I rarely miss.

Yes I'm scared,
I know you're scared too.
Four years was a long wait,
Now I'll finally meet you.
Hundreds of miles away,
Hiding behind a phone.
Now suddenly we'll be together,
I won't have to be alone.
I'm scared I'm not what you think,
I'm scared I'm not what you need.
In person everything's different,
Our words might not be like the texts we read.
We've waited so long,
I know you so well.
I'm so afraid of what might happen,
There is no way to tell.
In the end I still have faith,
It'll work out when we're in the same place.
Finally instead of being worlds apart,
We'll be together face to face.
I know you're scared too.

Sixteen so young,
Sixteen so sweet,
She's so eager to give it all up,
To the first boy that she'll meet.
She wants to grow up,
she wants to live life.
This young boy she finds,
Isn't looking for a wife.
Sixteen's so young,
Sixteen's so sweet.
This girl's far from dumb,
She sure knows how to think on her feet.
This boy talks real smooth,
He promises to make her dreams come true.
She's so young and eager to fall in love,
She falls for the lies she should have seen clear through.
She once was a smart girl,
She stood on stable ground.
She fell for this boy,
Her world fell all around.
He got what he wanted,
He moved on to the the next girl.
He dumped her in his past,
He left her head in a whirl.

Dear love, I truly am sorry.
I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I am.
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be.
I'm sorry that I do this, to you of all people.
I'm sorry it cant be just you and me.
In a perfect world full of perfect people,
I would be a better person and I would hurt you.
In a perfect world full of perfect people,
There would never be a question between me and you.
But the world's not perfect,
The world has flaws.
The people who are in it,
they do bad they break the laws.
I'm just a person,
For better or worst.
I know what I'm doing's bad,
Yet I know I'm not the first.
I'm sorry that it hurts you,
you know that wasn't my plan.
You know that I love you,
I've always been your biggest fan.
But now it's too late,
The damage has been done.
There is no use in apologizing,
This battle can not be won.
~truly sorry (the one you once loved)
I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I am.
I'm sorry I'm not who you wanted me to be.

I'm just a person,
For better or worst.
I know what I'm doing's bad,
Yet I know I'm not the first.
I'm sorry that it hurts you,
you know that wasn't my plan.
You know that I love you,
I've always been your biggest fan.
But now it's too late,
The damage has been done.
There is no use in apologizing,
This battle can not be won.
~truly sorry (the one you once loved)
One step forward,
Two steps back.
We may not be going forwards,
But at least we're staying on track.
We may not be headed,
where we were supposed to be going.
Until we get there,
There is really no way of knowing.
We're not pawns on a chess board,
We're not playing in your game.
You can try telling us what to do,
But well do what we want just the same.
We're outside of the box,
We're on a free plain.
We do things our own way,
But we're far from insane.
This is our world,
Not yours.
This is our lives,
Our wars.
You can't control us,
Can't set our pace,
You can't force us to go there,
You cant give us a place.
We take one step forward,
We take two steps back.
We might not be going in the direction you wanted,
But we know we're right on track.

A full blown sickness,
It's taking over my life.
The scars all over my body,
I got them from this knife.
I know it's not good,
It's a solution of the week,
But in my mind it helps me,
It brings the feeling I seek.
Even though it feels good,
I know it's very bad.
They tell me that it ruins me,
But that just makes me sad.
Once I thought in time I would heal,
But that't not completely true.
This sickness can't be waited out,
But there are things you can do.
There are ways to fix yourself,
The damage can be undone.
This doesn't have to last forever,
The battle can be won.
So with each day I carry on,
I face challenges that daunt me.
But I know I need a better future,
So I don't look back on a past that will haunt me.

I wish upon the moon so bright,
I wish upon the lovely night.
I wish I didn't have to fight,
Or stand up for what I know is right.
I wish upon the sun up high,
I wish upon the bright day sky.
I wish no one would have to die,
I wish I didn't have to cry.
I wish upon the true blue sea,
I wish upon what used to be.
I wish that I could truly see,
What it's like to just be free.
I wish I didn't have to feel.
I wish my heart could finally heal.
I wish I didn't have to deal.
With everything I know is real.
I wish the world was fair,
And the heartless could start to care.
Have these burdens that I bear,
A heart would grow and start to tear.
If only those wishes could come true,
And there was a better place for me and you.
I just wish the hole world new,
Exactly what those wishes could do.

If our days were numbered,
If the world were ending.
There was a celebration of death,
And we were attending.
The apocalypse grows close,
Yet we're not afraid.
When the moon blocks out the sun,
We enjoy the shade.
Sitting in the distance,
Watching buildings burn.
The fire grows closer,
And our backs we turn.
We know what's coming,
Yet we don't care.
We're both just happy,
That the other's there.

I would rather live on my knees than die on my feet.
I won’t stand up; I won’t fight from my seat.
Free or not, I’ll still be alive.
I just need to live. I don’t need to thrive.
Wrong or right, I’ll follow your rule.
Wrong or right, I’ll be your fool.
I would rather live on my knees than die on my feet.
I won’t stand up; I won’t fight from my seat.
I would rather live on my feet than die on my knees.
You say you can take me; I say, “Bitch, please!”
Life might be short but life will be real.
I’ll fight to the end, the fatal wound that will never heal.
Nothing lasts forever, I can’t watch life waste away.
I’d rather die in a second than let you torture me for a day.

Conflicted.
Unsure what to do,
Unsure how to act,
Not sure if it’s an opinion,
Not sure if it’s a fact.
Sometimes you tell truth,
Sometimes you tell lies.
Sometimes you say nothing,
You just stare into my eyes.
I’m not sure why,
I’m so drawn to you.
I’m not sure how,
I’ll figure out what to do.
Every time I’m with you,
The world just drifts away.
Every time I leave you,
You’re begging me to stay.
But you’re not my one,
And you’re really not my only.
We both know you’re just with me,
So you don’t have to be lonely.
We’ll figure it out in time,
Whatever we might be.
It’ll be okay in the end,
We’ll just have to wait and see.

For once in your life the skies are clear.
The grass in green and the sun in bright.
The darkness has lifted, step into the light.
Things are looking up, they're improving by the day.
You're finding the good and losing the bad.
Now in the morning you're wake and you're not quite so sad.
The trees are tall and the water is fresh.
Stand in the wind, feel it hit your face.
You know you're running out of days in the dreadful place.
Because things are looking up,
Skies are starting to clear.
Soon you'll live in a place that you'll never have to fear.

This is my escape, this is where I like to go.
Even if I tell you why, still you'll never really know.
In the clouds I watch from up above.
I can't feel the hate, I can only feel the love.
This world is bright, this life is good.
I'm doing things I thought I never could.
Breaking down walls and building them higher.
I'm going forever but I'll never tire.
I'm not in it to win, not even to play.
This is simply the place that I like to stay.

Up to the sky, up to Mars.
When I shoot, I shoot high, I shoot for the stars.
Rising from my past, growing from my scars.
I’m no longer locked up, behind these metaphorical bars.
I’m free to be who I am, free to do what I do.
Free to live my life, free to live it with or without you.
My past can’t hold me back; my future is to what I am true.
I won’t sell my soul to anyone, it doesn't matter who.
Life doesn’t move in slow motion.
Life is always full of magic; don’t be taken over by a potion.
Your thoughts are deep, just not as deep as the ocean.
Stay true to yourself, don’t lose your devotion.
When push comes to shove.
Your face is on the floor, I bet you can feel the love.
Just as you’ve felt it before, you look up and see me standing above.
You’re no longer begging me for more, but I’m still the one you’re dreaming of.
I’m up in the sky; I’m back to the stars.
I shot higher than I’ve ever shot before, I shot far past Mars.
I rose from my past, I grew from my scars.
You can't lock me up, I’ll break through the bars.

One falls fast, one falls slow.
They both fall down, they both fall low.
One is scared, one is brave.
The mother's sure which one she'll have to save.
One tucks and covers, the other spreads his wings.
He catches the air as he soars and sings.
The other still falling, his mother steps in.
He’s not quite ready, unlike his twin.
Soaring through the air, finally he’s free,
He looks to his brother still where he used to be.
He flies back to his nest and takes his brother's wing,
Maybe he could help his brother learn this frightening new thing.
Once again they jump out of the nest,
Once again they face the big test.
Their wings are touching as they spread them wide,
The younger brother joins him on the flying side.
Up in the air he flaps his wings and starts to soar,
He no longer feels he has anything to fear for.
Together they fly into the sky.
Together they continue their lives, way up high.
