Take the Leap for Love
Take the leap
I will protect you, now and forever
You can do it, I'm sure
Fly with me if you're ready
I can't go on without you
Can you?
Allow me to lead
Our hands will embrace
As we, with our last breath
Dance with me, sway with me
The air tugs at our clothes, our souls
Yet we remain together
Could you let me in?
Into your life; into your heart
Into our death, together

I Am Alone
I am alone
They didn't know
They wouldn't care
It didn't show
This is how I feel, and so
I'll take my life
My pain will show
They will all say they didn't know
They still don't care, though blood may flow
Through veins into a little bowl
I'll write my tale, in blood I'll show
I'll tell them what they didn't know
Until they care, the blood will flow
And so, and so, my pain will show
I'll go, I'll go, and all will know
I took my life, and this is all

To My Love, From the Dead
I needed you, you were
A friend I'd never spurn
I found you all alone
Outside inside the cold
I wanted you to come
Because you looked so glum
I tried to be your friend
Until the very end
But it is come and gone
I'm over and I'm done
Now only you live on
I want you to be strong
We won't be far for long
Enjoy what will be gone

Panic
Fear
Heartbeat
Pain
Tears
ConfusionQuestions
Hope
Despair
Submission
Loss
Fear of the unknown; panic
Heartbeat pounds in your ears
Pain courses through you like fire
Tears trickle down your face; like diamonds; like ice
Confusion is your only thought
Questions race to you; from you; through you
Hope refreshingly appears; cleansing like water
Despair returns; drying up hope; panic returns
Submission to these pulsating emotions
Loss of control; of innocence

Fly
I wish I could fly
Into the night sky
I would even die
For the chance to try
I'd strap on some wings
And numerous things
Myself I would fling
For the rush it would bring
In the end we're all liars
We're laughers and criers
My body's on fire
Strung taught like a wire
I'd fly through the night
All would feel right
What a beautiful sight!
As I experience flight

Treacherous and Deceitful Liar
Oh, my love
I cheat on you not
But you believe not
You claim forgiveness
Yet regret naught
You want for everything
Yet appreciate nothing
You expect the world
Yet do not deserve it
What claim have you
To love everlasting
When you sleep around more than I?
For I trespass not
Yet you go to her every night

Oblivion
Sometimes I can see
The things that make you be
Sometimes I can know
The truth in what is shown
Sometimes I can hear
Your voice is in my ear
Sometimes I can say
Today will be the day
Sometimes I can feel
Who's fake and who is real
Right now I can't see
The things that make you be
Right now I don't know
The truth in what is shown
Right now I can't hear
Your voice right in my ear
Right now I can't say
Today will be the day
Right now I can't feel

If I Could Change the World
If I could change the world
I would rid the world of poverty
If there was no poverty
There would be no demand for resources
If there was no demand for resources
There would be no need for war
If there was no war
We could live in a state of peace and understanding
If we could understand everyone else
I would not see any bullying or racism
If my ability to influence others grew
None would be without love
If there was an unceasing source of love
There would be no criminals

I'll Do Anything but That
Tell me to stay
I'll stay
Tell me to go
I'll go
Tell me to die
I'll die
But remember that
You told me to do it
You gave me the knife that slit my wrists
You built me the house I jumped off of
You showed me the cliff I dove from
You drove the car I crashed in
You owned the gun I shot
Tell me to love you
I will
Tell me to need you
I will

Getting Over You
I say hello
You say goodbye
No matter what
You make me cry
You don't understand
There's a lot to love
I worship you like
You're God above
Of course, I know
There's more to you
Than material qualities
But what should I do?
You act like I'm repulsive
But it's only you I see
You smile with others
But frown with me
