- Conduct Me -
I am wayward. I am lost, never to be found. I need you to lead me through the darkness all around. My downside's up and my upside's down, I am lost, can I be found?
Conduct me, I need direction. Conduct me I can't see the connection. Conduct me, you can see the whole field. Conduct me with the sensible power you yield.
I have never needed anyone to show me the way. But I feel the need for a guide on this crazy day. Someone else take control, let me drift and contemplate for a time. I've been steering through the storm for too long, the mistake was mine.
Conduct me, I need a rest. I need someone, I have to confess.
Ditched (From The Fire is Found Sapphire)
The sickness feeds on the routine. After a while you do not see the low condition you are living in. You are decaying. It takes a fire to destroy the old and usher in the new growth. There you can find me.
From the fire is found Sapphire. From the pain comes new life. From the bad comes the good, why can't it be easy?
Self sufficiency comes from abandonment. You learn to live, and to love what you have. You cherish life's trails and tribulations, for each moment has new meaning. The routine has been destroyed, the hurt is terrible. From the pain comes new life, and I'm so happy.
From the fire is found Sapphire. From the pain comes new life. From the bad comes the good, why can't it be easy?
From the pain you learn to rely on others. Barrier walls crumble. I'm so glad to be exposed. From within an inner beauty I never knew existed....shines. I never knew myself. From the pain the bullshit washes away, exposing the inner light! And I wouldn't have it any other way.
From the fire is found Sapphire. From the pain comes new life. From the bad comes the good, why can't it be easy?
The new growth takes hold of the ash trodden ground. From ruin life begins to flourish. Ash still smolders, but the green out shadows the gray. Rome wasn't built in a day. But when it was complete it was great.
From the fire is found Sapphire. From the tears comes a smile.
Time Taken Innocence
Time takes innocence. You cannot win. Try and fight it. It erodes and you waste away. I'm no longer innocent.
Let time have it's way with you. It won't hurt I promise you.
Conformity, that's the key! It allows time to take innocence more quickly. Why fight it if you have nothing to lose? Except for your precious virginity...
Erase me.
Change me.
Fix me.
Tear it apart.
Innocence LOST.
Let time have it's way with you. It won't hurt I promised you.
I never said you would like it!
I'd Leave if I Could
If I could break up with you I would have a long time ago. I hate you and how you make me feel. My heart pounds and it gets the blood to flow. I'm gonna implode.
I WOULD LEAVE IF I COULD I WOULD LEAVE
You think your funny and cool? You think you're right and I'm wrong? Do spare me you inconsiderate fool. You make me bad, product of the environment.
I WOULD LEAVE IF I COULD I WOULD LEAVE
Take advantage of me, I'm easy. Make me feel as low as you have to be. It's all I am good for. Hope you feel better, I know I feel worse.
Pilfer
You like to steal my feelings stealthily. To take what you can. In small amounts and often, again and again.
What do you do to me? Build me up. Take it away. Pilfer, to feed off my emotions.
Built it up, to take it down. To use as a shield so you can take what you can. No more! What is taken cannot be found.
Why do you do this to me? Build me up. Take it away. Pilfer, to feed off my emotions.
Lovely
Been waiting here for so long. So many others have gone. To the floor, waiting less than I, what for? Love to come direct them to the door, I've been left inside waiting just a little more.
Others have come and gone. I remain here, waiting. WHY AREN'T YOU FOR ME? OH! That's just lovely.
I've heard stories from those that have gone. It seems so cruel, this feeling. But no one knows my pain from denial and hopeless optimism. I've been over looked so many times, will anyone ever come for me?
Others have come and gone. I remain here, waiting. WHY AREN'T YOU FOR ME? OH! That's just lovely.
All others go. I just don't get it? Never see it. What is love? NEVER KNOW IT! I don't even deserve it.
Sagging
Pulled from the weight, down towards the ground. Don't think about this fate, a way up will surely be found.
Down it goes. Sagging from the pressure. My heart sinks to the floor. No one knows. Must escape the pressure. Please, no more.
I'm coming apart on my decent to the ground. Down I go. Sagging under the weight of the heart, no one knows.
I must fix this, to make the heart free of this. I cannot speak, what a surprise like always.
I'm coming apart on my decent to the ground. Down I go. Sagging under the weight of the heart, no one knows.
I need someone to be there when I fall. To pick me up and rise above it all.
