The crows


The crows come out at night
Just to watch you sleep
Clawing at your windows
Trying to wake you up.

The crows come out at night
just to make you scream
Shadows crawling across the wall
Watching you while you dream.

The crows come out at night
Following you down the street
All you hear is the flap of wings
Making your heart skip a beat.

The crows come out at night
Watching, hoping you'll scream
Laughter follows you away
As the crows infect your dreams.

Hate me


Cry, because I am evil
Fight, because it's as physical as we get now
Run, because there's no other way out
Scream, because someone might hear you
Hate me, because I gave you a reason right
Call me, because no one else will come
Use me, because I'll let you
But don't hate me because I was there
Hate me because I left...

My baby sister...


She's fragile
But she doesn't show it
She could break any minute
But she lives without caution
Stepping on the cracks sometimes

She's my baby sister
I couldn't imagine life without her in it
Sometimes she lives with care
And sometimes she's just carefree
And I love her so

She builds up all these walls
And even though it's a struggle
She climbs the wall
And builds another on the other side
Just to do it all over again

She's so fragile
And I would do anything for her
Even though she doesn't show it
She could break any minute
I would do anything for her

I fell...

He said I was beautiful
He said I was smart
He said I was perfect
He built a beautiful pedestal for me
And he demanded that I not fall off
But I did of course and it hurt
Because he walked away from the broken pieces
Sighing and shaking his head
Mumbling something like "I knew it..."
I sat and cried for a minute
To startled to realize
I still had the legs to get up and walk away
The eyes to see where I needed to go
The heart within my chest beating to let me know "you're alive so live"
The hand and arms to hold things and people close
The friends to keep me company when I was unperfect
And the will to say "no, no I'm perfect just the way I am"

«If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.» — Martin Luther King Jr.

Don't


Don't shed a tear for me
I'm not worth all the salt in the sea
Or even the salt in this salt shaker

Don't follow me please
I'm not worth the bumps in the long road ahead
Not even the wrinkles on this page

Don't look at me
I'm not worth all the pictures in the world
Not even this mirror on this wall

Don't talk to me
I'm not worth all the words in the world
Not even a simple hello

Don't think about me
I'm not worth all the thoughts in the world
Not even one about what my name is

And whatever you do
Don't bleed for me
I'm not even worth one drop

Not For The Credit

For those you love
You would go the extra mile
Just to go the extra mile
Not for the credit
But for the satisfaction

You would want tell everyone
About that person
Just to let the world know they exist
Not for the credit in knowing them
But for the satisfaction

That person fills your heart with joy
And your stomach with butterflies
And you tell people about this feeling
Not for the credit that you're in love
But for the satisfaction

You always want to be with that person
And their touch sends sparks down your spine
So you make sure you're near them as often as possible
Not for the credit
But for the satisfaction

It scares me half to death

Like a billion pieces of shattered glass
The idea is amazingly beautiful
In it's own special little way
But I know that it's dangerous
I've seen others in action
And I've heard the stories
And don't get me wrong
It scares me half to death
But I'm willing to take the plunge with you
Try something new
Forget the past
Create a new present
It scares me half to death
But for you I would do anything
So my darling love
I do.
