Sleepwalking

I lay in bed
drifting in and out of sleep,
I know I'm not dead,
but I feel so weak.
Send me your thoughts,
I'll send you mine,
I see your plots,
they run through your mind.
Sleepwalking, sleepwalking
lonely I fall,
desperate I cling
to the bare and dirty wall.
Wake me from my dreams,
the ones that chase me,
berating me as I scream,
please let me be.

This is a Song

Hey now, hold on, I feel like singing a song
about what has been,
about what is now,
and about how, I never know what will come.
This is a song,
just follow along,
see how things change.
Time goes by so fast
so try to keep up,
but you just keep on lagging.
Know this now,
that I’m glad we moved on
it’s just that it’s hard to get used to.
Nanana, nananana, nanananananananana Nanana, nananana, nanananananana
I see you now
and I hope you’re happy,
but I’ll never know for sure
and I hope you’re smiling behind that glass
and that you’re having a blast I just hope this awkwardness would pass…
Nananana, nanana, nanananananana, Nanana, nananana, nanananananana
Someday I hope we can be friends.
I hope I can smile and you won’t bend.
I’d love to meet her,
she sounds wonderful and sweet,
so just tell me when I will be there,
encouraging you yet again…
Nananana, nanana, nanananananana, Nanana, nananana, nanananananana
But please please please…
know this now,
this is a song
about what has been
and what is now
and what will be,
cause even though I don’t know I can still dream right?
Nananana, nanana, nanananananana, Nanana, nananana, nanananananana….
This is a song.

Down Where You Are

Tonight is the night
I never thought it would come
I step outside I want to run
But I just walk as I look for my ride
The car that will take me far away
How can I feel so alone when so many people are around me?
Is it just a bad day?
I don’t think anyone can see
I’m craving compliments
I feel down in the dumps
No one listens to my sentiments
My heart jumps
There you are
I was hoping you’d come
I was just waiting for you, staring at my scar
I wanted to see you alone this time
That way you would listen to my cries
Whining would be a crime
Don’t listen to my sighs
I just want to know you care

The New

Taking big steps in my brand new life
Dancing down the street
Cut through the old with a knife
This is a new day
No regrets
No I won’t stay
I’m moving on
Passing through
Look now I’m gone
Here I go walking
There I go running
One step, two step
No you aren’t coming
The bruises are gone
Yes, I know the scar’s still there
I’m not your pawn
But I do still care
It doesn’t mean I still hold a grudge
It means I remember
But yet I still love

You Don't Know Me

You don’t know me
My dreams, my goals
Aspirations and visions
Did you take the time to notice?
I don’t think so
You’d have to read between the lines
What I love, to hate
See the message in my eyes, no
And you call yourself my best friend
I don’t think so
The people who you’d least expect
Yes, they know me
See potential, even though I’m tried
They search the broken
Missing pieces they find
See the me In the dark
Use the flashlight to see
What’s the line?
Who really cares?
Just tell me what you think of me
You don’t know?
That’s what I thought
Go back to sleep
Slumbering instead of noticing
