2 Spiders

Anger, I have the right to feel
Shame, I don’t owe you anything
2 spiders creeping up my leg
Hanging from the ceiling, sleeping in my bed
I told them to please get out
They been living here and they are not allowed
Moon come up, sun go down
Shadow come again to gather around
I light a candle, this a request
Self Forgiveness
Pain, I cannot turn you away
Rage, I have to give you space
2 spiders creeping up my leg
Hanging from the ceiling, sleeping in my bed
I can’t go on this way
They been living here and they are here to stay
Sun come up, moon has to hide
Shadow come again to gather inside
I light a candle as a request
Self forgiveness

Growing Up
03:15
|

When I was young I learned to disappear
A game to survive pain and fear
I’m putting away childish toys
Plastic guns that flash and make noise
I’m going back to the start
Growing up no one was there for me
As an adult I wasn’t there for me
Robbed of my anger with no one to blame
Still I suffer the same
When I was young my heart was wild
I learned all on my own how to hide
Now I’ve no use for my childish games
Yet all of these memories remain
Growing up no one was there for me
As an adult I wasn’t there for me
Robbed of my loneliness, no one’s to blame
Still I suffer the same
We don’t have memories of happy families
But we can still dream of new beginnings

Acceptance
01:57

I accept where I have been
I accept where I am
I don’t owe anyone
An explanation of who I am
I accept everything in me
And all you don’t want to see
I accept the lost time
And those I have to leave behind
I accept the little hand
Turning to begin again
I accept everything in me
And all I don’t want to see
I accept what I don’t know
I accept what you won’t show
We don’t owe anyone
Measurements or definitions
I accept everything in you
And hope you accept me too
You, you

Pink Noise

Pink Noise
A filter for my mind
Sounds strange, out of phase
Bring me back into time
Pink Noise
A color in my ear
It’s a wonder that I can even hear
Send a message station to station
How can I discern this vibration?
Learning to read the waves
One satellite in a billion
Synapses firing in the trillions
What do I really want to say
Pink Noise
Can you slow down my mind?
Light rays, tides rise, hearts beat, and neurons fire
Pink Noise
Can you help me sleep tonight?
It’s a wonder that I am still alive

Who Loves The Rain?
02:43
|
|||
|
What does it mean to feel your own pain?
Delicate flowers brave opening
I’ve turned away from it time and time again
Torn from roots, petals falling from stem
What does it mean to feel your own pain?
Withering flowers can’t bear opening
Must we deny all that is happening?
Cupping the sunshine, cursing the rain
But who loves the Rain?
Will we ever learn to feel our pain?
Can’t we see our tears for what they grow?
Must we know just how the story goes?

When I am afraid
Despair turns into rage
And they say he made the harps in heaven
They say he made the sun’s rays
When I am in pain
I turn off and turn away
And they say he knows each hair on my head
They say he made the sun’s rays
When I am alone
The voices follow me home
And they say he made the fires in hell
And they say he made us from clay
And the blind leading the blind
We don’t know who we are
What we are
Real is what you feel

I Wanna Be True
02:47
|
|||
|
I wanna be true
It looks so easy
To start something new
I’m always reaching out from the other side
Still hoping for advice that you can’t provide
Eyes wide
Eyes hide
I wanna be loved
I just need someone
To give me a shove
I’m always reaching out from the other side
Still hoping for advice that you can’t provide
Eyes wide
Eyes hide

Heart Of Stone
04:05
|
|||
|
Why should anyone
Wait to have their fun?
We don’t live forever
I want to open up
Shake all this heavy off
I don’t live forever
I know I’m a heart of stone
From a broken home
These pieces won’t go together
I’m a heart of stone
In a bag of bones
Trying to hold myself together
Wallflowers at the dance
Did we miss our chance?
This song won’t play forever
If I sing from the heart
Will you just smile and nod?
I won’t sing forever
Pain, what do you desire from me?
Can this be right?
Just to be heard without a fight?

Blooming Of The Rose
03:54
|
|||
|
Grimace, patience
My crown of thorns
Skin prick, blood drips
For the blooming of the rose
Leaf high in sunlight
The vine ever grows
Rich soil, hands toil
For the blooming of the rose
What is this? Mother gives
Why no one knows
Bees sting, birds sing
For the blooming of the rose
Bouquet, decay
Tied with a bow
High price, eyes wide
For the blooming of the rose
Stem cut, time’s up
Wedding bells toll
Love gone, we long
For the blooming of the rose
