DOWN

Say those sweet silent words to those
Dark lonely rooms
Where you sit and you stare
And you think of yourself
Where you listen through floorboards
And love from your heart
Your scarlet eyes will kill you someday
When you finally fall
And you smile the whole way
Down.

DON'T SEE

Scratch your lies off your fingers
They show too much pain
I fear that they crave
What I see that they don't
My eyes feel so hollow
As they take what they don't see
What I won't see

THE STRONG ONE

Face your fears
You are my enemy
Wipe those tears
You are the strong one
Run away
You act just like her
Scream your name
You think you're perfect
But you're never right

NEVER RETURN

Cry yourself to sleep
Stain your pillow with tears
Scream out to the angriest room you've ever been inside
Clear your mind of any thoughts that hold the past
Your future is no longer invisible
But we are in your eyes
Your love for us holds still and sudden
But may never return to your heart

THE STARS ABOVE YOUR HEAD

Do not blame your sadness on yourself
Those tears were caused by someone else
But the stars above your head
Haven't granted any wishes
You've been lead astray
And your eyes have seen nothing
Though I hope that I'll bring you back to life

MANY WEARY DAYS

I haven't cried in many weary days
Cleansing my soul with love
It makes my heart stronger
It makes us all stronger
My mind is transforming
And discovering itself
As the rain dries
As the pain dies
