WeirdThe alarm clock tells you loud and clear
It's time to get your act together, dear
So force yourself to get out of bed
Forget what all those people said

Now's the time to change your routine
Of spending all day with the laptop screen
It's time to dress up like you used to
It's time to be the brand new you

So wipe all those silly tears away
Because we're living for today
The past is long gone, it's time for change
So dress how you want, no matter how strange

And wear whatever makeup you want
You're brave enough to do what the haters can't
As long as it makes you feel good about yourself
Then what is it to do with anyone else?

Sh

I'll Make My Own WayBiting my lips until they bleed
Because there's no one here to kiss them
Sat in the dark because no one needs me with them
Trapped in a cold, dark padded cell
It's meant to be a refuge but it feels like hell
I need the key but I don't even know if there is one

You said it would be easier than this
I don't deserve any of this
Please can someone take me far away from this
Before there's nothing left of me

Because it's just me now
No one else to hold me tight
I'll sing the lullabies to myself
To help me get through the night
And if someone else comes along
To take me out of this place
I'll welcome them with open arms
And a smile

UnderstandExcuse me, I'm sorry to impose
Won't you both keep on your clothes
I have something that I have to say
You might laugh or you might get upset
Are you listening to me yet?
I can't just simply walk away
Boy, I lost my trust in you
Girl, if you knew what I knew
You'd see he's not the person he appears
But you take his word over mine
I just hope you'll leave in time
Before you see that he's your biggest fears

Sometimes I even wonder if
The possibility of this
So called 'karma' even exists
How come I'm here with open arms
An open heart in risk of harm
Yet he's the one with someone else to kiss?
Boy, you don't deserve her
Girl, y

EmilieEmilie sits upon the shelf
A pretty doll in a shop
She sits and waits for her time to come
Until her loneliness stops

She waits and waits, full of false hope
That someone will come take her home
But when all the other dolls have been bought
She wonders why she's still alone

She spends her time thinking about
Her imaginary faults
Assuming that she's ugly because
Why else has she not been sold?

And to this day, she's wanted to say
Why am I the only doll that's still here?
She's fed up of loneliness, fed up of waiting
For something she once had that disappeared

Emilie sits upon the shelf
A pretty doll in a shop
She sits and wai

Play With FireI've gotta admit
I like the attention
But you've gotta know that it's getting too far
Now you're not a fool
An expert at discretion
I try to be strong but now the
Temperature's rising and so is the pressure
You think you'll get to me, you'll know better

Look in your reflection and there's no one else there
Do you feel me, do you taste me, when you stop and you stare?
Now I can't just play along, my love's already been earned
Did you one ever tell you?
Play with fire and you're gonna get burned

You've gotta admit
The risks are much higher
And we both know that it's getting too far
I try to stay cool
But my head's getting light

Your StoryI'd much rather cry for you
'Cause my story is too painful to share
I'd much rather smile for you
'Cause my story is too painful to bare

So come here and I'll wrap my arms around you
Come here and I'll let your story shine
But after you share your story
Please don't ask me about mine

If only I could play the violin
I'd share my past through sorrowful chords
Vibrato on strings would be my voice
Fighting my demons with imaginary swords

Although I'm limited to words on paper
And the words aren't sung by a beautiful voice
These words make my story into a song
And this song confronts you with a choice

You can close your eyes
And p

Saturday NightI don't know where I am
And the music is too loud
There are far too many strangers
In this drunk mess of a crowd
Anywhere I look
There is some strange guy giving strange looks
And my head is spinning round
As if it's nowhere to be found

But it's Saturday night and everyone's here
Drinking pints of foul tasting beer
Because we need this to have fun
Because right now we have no fear
So drink away the worries
And don't care about the money
Get it down, we're in a hurry
To lose control

We're far too intoxicated
To care what they think
So let's talk a bit more loudly
And go buy another drink
We say it's only for tonight
But we know that's a lie

KrystalOh, Krystal
Your eyes would light up the world
The things you'd do
The people you'd meet
They'd smile for your every heartbeat
I'm not going to describe your appearance
'Cause I know you'd be beautiful no matter what
Your smile would bring joy to my heart
And your kind heart would bring so much joy
Not just to me
But to every living thing
I'd hold you tight when you have nightmares
And stroke your hair until you sleep
I'd listen to your soft breath
And sing to you your favourite lullabies
Oh, Krystal
I'd love you with every fibre of my being
I'd teach you to play beautiful music
And bring compassion to the earth
I'd teach y

Thank You For BreathingI’m that trickle down your neck last week when you got upset.
That friend you’ve never met;
That kid you teased for being a teachers pet.
That kid who stays quiet when you get on his nerves;
The one who never got picked first;
The best at being last; Never been late for class; never got noticed for staying on task.
Know that’s there’s something special about being different.
I can’t explain it; not sure if it’s a gift or curse. It’s
Something about it makes me want to pick up a pen and write verses.
I feel like maybe God entrusted this mission to us; something more than Church.
Something more tha

The Sea Is Openthe sea is open
a quality that is like a birdsong:

elusive
transparent
playful in all its purity

so draw your sword and conquer the receding flow!
claim back the ground that belonged to the Queen
for the touch of her hand has grown frail

strike Her down but spare her life
as a memory,
as a specter of warning
as the presence that has been stripped of its authority
conquer Her throne
pull down the curtain
and let in the glorious light!

for this conquest that has begun will not relent
not even against the armies of the Regent
we ride on steeds made of wings and light
break our formations
ride over and under and through and without

MirrorEvery time I look in the mirror,
I see a different me.

Sometimes I think I look decent,
Others I'm just horrendous.

I try to see the Beauty that he sees,
And sometimes I think I see her.

But then I blink,
And all I see is this horrible blob of fat.

I just want to be normal again.
To be able to look in the mirror and not be afraid of what I see staring back at me.

Why Did You Have To Say Hello?I really, really wish I hadn’t looked into those eyes.

Or seen that smile, or those fingers twisting around a wooden pencil, or even heard that voice.

I wish I hadn’t met you.

Because now I can’t forget you.

Your words roam about my mind. You’re a poet, a dreamer, a visionary like me. By all the world’s logic, I shouldn’t be feeling this way. I should hate you. I should despise you with all the passion hidden behind these long sweater sleeves and square-rimmed glasses.

But I don’t.

For some, random, goddamned reason, I don’t.

And I know it would never work out. I see the way you lo

Who Is This Girl?You're fine.. They said, it will be alright.. They insist
I close my eyes, I open my eyes.. It's still the same picture, colorless, breathless..
I look at this poor girl, who is this person? How does she know me? Why she does look familiar? ...Ah yes, it's what was left of me, the last pieces of a lost broken soul, why is she glaring at me? Why is this hate stare filled with fire in her eyes? ..She says nothing... Stares followed by silence, silence followed by memories, the present started to fade black, the past rose from the dark deep, my dead conscience begun to move inside of me, trembling like it's gonna rip apart outta me, I felt a

Throw It AwayStop!
Put the blade down
Yes, you
Don't you think it's time for something new?
A new attitude, a new way of dealing with
The things they put you through
A new way to survive
A new way to pull you through
I know
You may not see it now
But if you hold on
You'll see
It always gets better somehow
So throw your self-destructive tool
Away and join the fight
We'll show those in pain
That there's always a light

And I know you think that no one's there
And I know you think that no one cares
But the things they said, they're not true
They're only trying to hurt you
If you go through with this
It'll only get worse

So just throw it away
So just throw t

RumoursI'm holding your hand
But they're trying to pull it away
Like a hand full of sand
Slipping between my fingers
The cruel words slip out of their mouths
They're predators and we're the prey

And I try not to listen
And I mustn't reveal
Any insecurity that I feel
If I let my guard down, they'll eat me alive
How will we survive?

Close your eyes and I will too
Block their hatred from our view
For it seems I've made some enemies without ever meaning to
Please don't listen to their lies
They're the wolves in sheep's disguise
And I love you, and I need you to get through

Tell me what I've done wrong
Tell me why I deserve this ridicule
This has gone

The EscapistIt is really insomnia
If you're keeping me awake?
Is it the infatuation
That made me start to shake?
Is it so peculiar
If you make me feel brand new?
Is it some kind of obsession
That I have with you?

I watch you when I feel lonely
Is that so wrong?
I think of you when they hurt me
So what if that's all day long?
You make me feel so happy
What if that's all I have?
Should that be taken away
Just because it sounds mad?

Because right now in real life
There's no happily ever after
When I see something I don't like
I can't just skip the chapter
Or quickly press fast forward
On a TV remote control
Real life is but a wound
And you help fill the h

A Letter To My BodyDear my body,

Here I bestow an official apology for all the things I put you through.

The spirits, substances and so-called foods that you are forced to consume and digest against your will.
For every last hormone-changing pill.
For every time I slide a razor across your tender skin to cut back hair again and again.
For every time I deprive you of sleep when you are already so deprived of energy. And then the days when I refuse to get out of bed and so you miss the sunlight.
I apologise for wanting to hurt you when I'm in need of emotional rehabilitation.
For biting the skin on your fingers when I'm nervous.
For previously feeding you the c

My hands are sweating, my stomach churns
My breathing increases in pace
The insecure feeling returns
I'm in a state that's far from grace
I really shouldn't be so nervous
But I'm running out of time
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Don't think like that, it will be fine

And now I'm standing in the middle of the room
Checking on makeup that we're brainwashed to consume
Remembering those magazines that tell you that your life's a competition
That we're all fighting for someone to fight for

You better watch your back
You're a piece of meat and the dogs want more
It's time to face the fact
That you're a piece of meat and the dogs want more
They're always hungry
Never satisfied
They bite the hand that feeds them
So why do you still provide?

My smile is empty, my voice is sad
Although I wear this mask on my face
Trying to find what I once had
From opportunities I embrace
I really shouldn't be so upset
But I'm running out of time,
Excuses, hope,
My love and trust

And now I'm standing in the middle of the room
Checking on makeup that we're brainwashed to consume
Remembering those magazines that tell you that your life's a competition
That we're all fighting for someone to fight for

You better watch your back
You're a piece of meat and the dogs want more
It's time to face the fact
That you're a piece of meat and the dogs want more
They're always hungry
Never satisfied
They bite the hand that feeds them
So why do you still provide?

Standing here waiting
Expecting prince charming
To hold me, explaining
That I'm the only one for him
Standing here waiting
Expecting prince charming
But he's never coming
You told me he existed but you lied
Next time don't get my hopes up
I'd rather know the truth

You better watch your back
You're a piece of meat and the dogs want more
It's time to face the fact
That you're a piece of meat and the dogs want more
They're always hungry
Never satisfied
They bite the hand that feeds them
So why do you still provide?
Why do you still provide?

Wrote this within a few nights.

I know a few people that think that they absolutely must date someone otherwise they're nothing. People that date people simply for the sake of being with someone, not because they like them. And this in turn ends in catastrophe, because if you're dating someone just because there's no one else around at the time, then the relationship is going to be unhealthy.
A lot of the guys I know date people for this reason; simply because they can brag to their friends about it, quench their sexual thirsts, or usually both. And because the relationship is built on weak foundations in the first place, they end up getting bored quickly and moving on to someone else without considering the consequences.
I don't mean for these lyrics to offend anyone - I'm not assuming that 'all guys are the same' or anything stereotypical like that. And I know for a fact that a lot of girls do the same thing. These lyrics are generally just about a lot of people that I know personally.

Thank you!

I really really love this song. I think it's amazing. I've always wanted a boyfriend and I kinda feel messed if I'm single, but when I read this I realized it has to be for the right reasons. It can't just be because I want someone to love me. I need to love myself first and then share my life. thanks for the reminder.

~Lady---Vengeance Jan 13, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Thank you, I'm glad you like it! I'm the same. And you're very welcome

~EnthusiasticArtist Jan 17, 2013 Student General Artist

your welcome! I think it's something every girl is trying to learn.

~Lady---Vengeance Jan 21, 2013 Hobbyist Photographer

Yeah, hopefully

~EnthusiasticArtist Feb 16, 2013 Student General Artist

only some of them realize it though

~InGodzHandz Jan 6, 2013

I'm not like that. It's sad when people are like that. They should be satisfied with being single if that's what God has for them.
