Music

Play a chord or two, if you'd like

Tune a string or two, if you'd like

I don't care if the song's too loud

I don't care if the song's too sad

I just want to keep it going

If you don't like that, too bad

Get out on the dance floor, if you'd like

Bust a move or two, if you'd like

I don't care if you can't take the heat

I don't care if the rhythm's off-beat

I just want the song to keep going

I just want you up off your seat

The music is the rhythm

The rhythm is the beat

Stop your lolly-gagging

And get up on your feet

I don't care if the music's too fast

I don't care if this isn't your crowd

I just want the song to keep going

I just want to scream it out loud

The Office

Typing in your report of lies
You sip your coffe and let life pass you by
It could be amazing, living life free
But you don't care, you just collect your fee

Your world is your office
Your office is the moon
Remote from the pleasures
A little boxed-in room
You world is complete
With just your keyboard and mind
But your life could be better
If you just found the time

Typing in a report of lies
You dream of a world where nobody sighs
It could be amazing, living life free
But you have no idea who you would be

Your world is your office
Your office is the mooon
Remote from the pleasures
A little boxed-in room
Your world is complete
With just your keyboard and mind
But life could be better
If you'd just find the time

Slip in the shadows
Hide in the light
Keep your head down
Avoid all fights

Your World is complete
With just your keyboard and mind
But life could be better
If you'd just find the time

The Battle

I’m walking blind

Through a sea of lines

Some of them meant to be crossed

I’m finding time

To realize

That the battle isn’t lost

Hope doesn’t come easy

When you’re attacked on all sides

Faith doesn’t happen

When you’re ducking, trying to hide

But the sun shines in the darkness

Even when it’s waning

And the clouds will clear some day

Even though it’s raining

I’m walking blind

Through a sea of lines

Some of them meant to be crossed

I’m finding time

To realize

That the battle isn’t lost

Keep your head above water

And you’ll find your way to shore

Keep your head above water

Even when you’re unsure

I’m walking blind

Through a sea of lines

Some of them meant to be crossed

I’m finding time

To realize

That the battle isn’t lost

No Need

There's no need for a revolution

When the world's already spinning

There's no need for you to lose

When everybody's winning

And I can see the sun

It's shinning on the winners

But I can't see the moon

It shows the way for sinners

The light in the darkness

Is only as bright

As the frown you gave me

On that winter's night

There's no need for sorrow

When you've already got strife

There's no need for hanging

When you're given a knife

And I can't see the sun

It's shinning on the winners

But I can see the moon

It shows the way for sinners

The light in the darkness

Is only as bright

As the jewels you're crying

In all vain delight

There's no need for laughter

When all you've got is joy

There's no need for kindness

When you're all girls and boys

And I can't see the sun

It's shining on the winners

And I can't see the moon

It shows the way for sinners

The light in the darkness

Is only as bright

As the hope for tomorrow

That's swallowed by the night

Life isn't cheerful

When you're living a lie

Life isn't happy

When you feel you're going to die

There's no need for a revolution

When the world's already spinning

There's no need for loss

'Cause there's no way you're winning

Dead boy's poem

She was like a white flame burning on a black candle

Hot and fierce and too pure for me to handle

She game me light while taking my all

She held me up while letting me fall

Her love was a laugh, her hate was a tear

She gave me nothing but strife when I showed my fear

I could have abandoned her if I tried

But by the time I thought to, I'd already died

Troubled Waters

I want to think deep thoughts

But with every single drop

From this bottle in my hand

My brain turns to sand

My sorrow and my shame

Runs through my very veins

And the pain I’ve caused you

Keeps finding ways to run me through

I should have said I’m sorry

But I didn’t so here I am

Wasting away my forever

In this bare and useless land

I want to say I love you

But that would be too cruel

Because I wouldn’t mean it

And that’s why I feel like shit

I Could Say

I could say I'm happy

I could say I'm free

But I can't even tell

How much of a lie that'd be.

I could say I'm cheerful

As gay as any bird

But if I did, that'd be

The worst lie you'd ever heard

Some might say I'm emo

Some might say depressed

Either way I'm mellow

And far from being repressed

I could say I'm sad

Or down in the dumps

But to tell the truth, it's not that bad

Taking all the lumps
