Goodbye BabyI once had a heart of gold,
Now it is black and cold,

We are no longer dating.

I'm a bastardSometimes, I don't recognize the face I see,
Haunted by the echoes of who I used to be.
Influences, reflections, blood ties that bind,
Leave me feeling lost, leaving scars behind.
Ashamed of the shadows...

my heart?
you did not break my heart
you COULD not break my heart
I utilized all the “Yous” that came before
constructing barriers that you,
in your most formidably malodorous
and vehemently vile self,
couldn’t penetrate in an eon of...

Please look to me for comfort
Let me bring you comfort tonight
Chorus
Keep chasing rainbows...

The words you didn't meanYou spoke the fears I had confined
Caged up in the back of my mind
I told myself they were not true
But now they're back, because of you
Once diminished, doubt was gone
Your affirmations brought out dawn

My Heart AcheIn the quiet of the night, under the pale moon's light,
A heart whispers softly, burdened with its plight.
The echoes of laughter, now silent in the halls,

The Moon For StarsBeen searching for a love, a home;
a place to call my own.
A place where I am wanted,

that trace over my skin.
A soul who always chooses...

I'm Starting to ForgetI'm Starting to forget you
I wish I wasn't.
When is your birthday?
What are your fears?
I can't really believe
It's been so many years.

Is it curly like mine?
What clothes did you wear?
Whats your Favorite...

Love Stranded>In a house that once echoed with love's sweet song,
A woman now finds herself feeling so wrong.
Her husband, once tender, now distant and cold,
Leaves her heartache to silently unfold.
He was once her knight, her protector,...

Condescending Mastermind
Your path is certain,
Always a narrow line.
Your words you fill with sweet designs;
Relinquish scattered emotions to the flame of the hearts,
Now eroded with time.
Why such a deliberate sorrow?
To a love so fine?
A Love...

Serial Keeler
Foreboding of a tempestuous storm,
it blackens as it draws near,
a cumulonimbus in towering form,
extending to the troposphere,
So cast off mooring and slacken the line,
break free while there's still time,
