For I am born
For I am reborn
So many stories
Lived and unlived
It's so hard to remember them all
Won't you take me
By the hand
Keep me close and we'll make so much more
Precious memories
In my head
I'm afraid I'm losing my grip
Say my name
Look me in the eye
Please don't let me
Stare off into the sky
I'll be your tapestry
In the dying light
I need your healing hands
To keep me alive
I'll be your tapestry
In the dying light
I need your healing hands
To keep me alive
And I wonder
How much time
Have I wasted stuck in my own mind
Staring blankly
At the ceiling
Trying to sort out
what it means
to be alive
Then you came here
Into my life
I want to be there when we touch for the last time
Let our fire burn
Let our waves crash
Times keeps moving but at least I get to move with you
I'll be your tapestry
In the dying light
I need your healing hands
To keep me alive
I'll be your tapestry
In the dying light
I need your healing hands
To keep me alive
Say you won't go
Please say you won't go away
I won't go
I won't go away
I'll be your tapestry
In the dying light
I need your healing hands
To keep me alive
I'll be your tapestry
In the dying light
I need your healing hands
To keep me alive
For I am born
For I am reborn

Lexiprofessional

I’m a Lexiprofessional
There’s no home for me now
They trapped me in this fucked up life
Take my hope and take my soul
I’m a lexiprofessional
Give me my pills and go
I must get back to my 9 to 5 life
Got no time for what’s right
What’s the deal with you?
Who are you anyway?
What’s the deal with you?
Who are you anyway?
You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone
I’m a law screwing parasite
I eat my paycheck and go
home and fall in coma where I
Dream of running away
I am the antichrist
Get me out of here
You’re a lexiprofessional too
Let’s get the fuck out of here
What’s the deal with you?
Who are you anyway?
What’s the deal with you?
Who are you anyway?
You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone

Hold me dear
I just want to bring what’s inside me out
If I knew how to cling
To the ghost who I thought I was before
I’d be another fling
hold me til the point where I let go
I hope there’s another way
This pain in my head will let me go
I’m always on the attack
I’m always fighting back
There’s no way they will see me here again
I’m always on the attack
I’m always fighting back
There’s no way they will see me here again
Forgive me dear
I don’t know how to keep you in time
If I could give you life
I’d suck all my blood and give you all of mine
I am on the run
from the past and from the future me
and now we’re in the scene
What did you know? What did I know?
I’m always on the attack
I’m always fighting back
There’s no way they will see me here again
I’m always on the attack
I’m always fighting back
There’s no way they will see me here again
We’re holding on..
We’re holding on..
We’re holding on..
We’re holding on..
I’m always on the attack
I’m always fighting back
There’s no way they will see me here again
I’m always on the attack
I’m always fighting back
There’s no way they will see me here again

Fuck the way
people see each other
It’s not okay
that I can’t talk to my mother
Fuck the way
It’s so hard for me to be content
Its not okay
That I’m convinced I’m doing wrong
fuck the way
that I am stuck between the worlds
its not okay
to let the kids take you away
fuck the way
We’ve cried ourselves to sleep at night and
its not okay
to feel so invalid
I know its better off this way
I know you’re better off this way
I know its better off this way
They say you’re better off this way
So I say
I love you more than I (x4)
will ever know
ever see
ever feel the end of (x2)
fuck the way
that fiction is fiction
its not okay
those stories just aren’t real
Fuck the way
I’m neurotic to the bone
Its not okay
I’m lost in the universe
Fuck the way
I’m losing my sense of self
Its not okay
I watch myself in third person
Fuck the way
They think that we’ll all burn
It’s not okay
They make you feel like nothing
I know its better off this way
I know you’re better off this way
I know its better off this way
They say you’re better off this way
So I say
I love you more than I (x4)
will ever know
ever see
ever feel the end of (x2)

No Order
05:13

I walk outside to greet you
with no shoes on my feet
and I tear holes in my socks
I feel the grass beneath me
then asphalt and sticky tar
I meet you by your car
and this moment happens fast
faster than I ever though it could
darling now I’m thinking again
Will you come inside?
Will you stay the night
Its happened before but I’m new every time
And I know this world is not to last
and I know we’re not too fast
and I can see the doubter inside of me
But I know that he is wrong
What the hour? What’s the time?
I can feel the seconds tick by
There’s no order in our life
There’s disorder in our life
Who’s to blame and who’s the one
We can pin the target on
There’s no one to spit or shame
It’s just the way its just the way
Its just the way its just the way
its just the way its just the way
We’re not to blame we’re not to blame
We’re not to blame we’re not to blame
I drive my car to see you
turn the music loud
my place is there beyond this crowd
Hear the thoughts in my head
If you could only see them
I’m yelling at myself to be myself
But that’s the thing you see
Its no easy property
Being so inside my own head
I want to be with you
I want to make my life anew
I want to be more than I was yesterday
And I know this world is not to last
and I know we’re not too fast
and I can see the doubter inside of me
But I know that he is wrong
What the hour? What’s the time?
I can feel the seconds tick by
There’s no order in our life
There’s disorder in our life
Who’s to blame and who’s the one
We can pin the target on
There’s no one to spit or shame
It’s just the way its just the way
Its just the way its just the way
its just the way its just the way
We’re not to blame we’re not to blame
We’re not to blame we’re not to blame
and this moment happens fast
faster than I ever though it would
darling now I’m yours again
Yeah I’m gonna be alright now
Yeah I’m gonna be okay.
Yeah we’re gonna be alright now
Yeah we’re gonna be okay.

Pocket Universe

You are my pocket universe
I stumble in your sway
you are my tiny universe
I hear you when you say
“hold me dear,
just don’t let go,
pull me from undertow,
When you leave,
please leave on the light”
“If you knew me,
when I was young,
you’d know that I’m a careful one,
but you see,
I’m getting better now”
You are my pocket universe
I’m lost in your embrace
You are my tiny universe
wrapped in black lace
Goddess of you
Orchid of line
Color me with your place in time
Mother and father
Thank you for all you’ve done
Where I go next
will be with you
Love burns more than true
My sun and my moon
My day and my night

Let Go (Dying Light)
05:27
|

There will be no place left for
Me when I get home from the war
From the war
If they knew what I have seen
They’d crumble into shapes and forms
Shapes and forms
Oh holy mother of me
Clear my mind until I’m free
I am free
Give me space yet hold me close
Give me time yet be here now
Be here now
I will be on the other side
I know there’s light in your eyes
Lay me in your arms where I will die
Lay me in your arms where I will die
I know there is another way
Please tell me how so I’ll be okay
I’ll be okay
So what’s it mean to be alone
Let me know so I can go
On the road
I am not a burning bush
I am not some prophet’s push
Some Prophet’s push
But I am so ego filled
Clear me out and make me new
Make me new
I will be on the other side
I know there’s light in your eyes
Lay me in your arms where I will die
Lay me in your arms where I will die
I know there’s nothing left
And I cannot see your face
But pain is temporary
Just like our time in this place
Let go of what you know
Let go of who I am
Let go of who we are
And we will be on the mend
I will be on the other side
I know there’s light in your eyes
Lay me in your arms where I will die
Lay me in your arms where I will die
(I’ll be your tapestry
In the dying light
I need your healing hands to keep me alive)
