We're All Just Waiting...

Let the wind surround you,
the only comfort I need,
share the moments I long for,
or just die waiting.

Let the crash of the waves be the only thing you hear,
that's where I see the storm coming,
just sit and watch,
we're all just waiting.

Let yourself take risks,
things you'd never see,
touch me with the palm of your hand,
set me free.

Let the thoughts of the loved fill your mind,
comfort you in times when you're trying to hide,
we're all just waiting.

Let your heart lead your mind for once,
set yourself apart from the world,
with every footprint you leave in the sand,
I'll be waiting... just take my hand.

Let us run together,
away from our fears,
dive into the ocean,
there'll be no more waiting...
here.

Paint a Picture of Life

I tried to paint you a picture,
of black and white,
the colors began to fade in the midnight light.

I began with a simple brush of love and laughter,
it took a turn for the worst,
now look what I'm after.

Find yourself in happiness,
the color of life,
trace all the curves of wonder and paint your picture of life.

I end with a splash of color,
of black and white,
to watch it all fade,
into the midnight light.

I continue to paint my picture of life.

Is This What It Feels Like?

Am I just a paper in the wind, waiting to be caught; picked up by a stranger?
Words to be etched on me.

I've been erased, cumbled, and used for no purpose.
I've been torn from the book of life to tell the story to someone new.
I've been ripped to pieces for the world to put together.
and somehow, I'm still here.

I've been stepped on and stained with black.
I've been confused by lines and wrinkles.
I've been left to construct someone's idea into a change.
and somehow, I'm still here.

Waiting for the words of a stranger to be etched on me,
all you need is a pen.

Everyone is strange, that's what makes us strangers.

Life's A Beach

Keep me safe through the night,
as my dreams keep me awake,
I'm tired of having to put up a fight,
of losing everything I feel inside.

I find myself back to the shores of a life that was once lost,
but now is found,
you are found,
the story can now begin.

The salty air keeps me alive as it's all I breathe,
from the sand that's my beginning,
to the ocean that's my home,
I end the pursuit of happiness.

I begin the life of nothing but playing in the sand,
doing what I love and never with regrets.

This is all I want,
this is all I've ever needed.

The happiness of ones life is just the beginning of a life long journey of finding the final destination.

Fly

I wanna fly like a bird,
to get away from this town,
to fly over the ocean,
and hear its sweet sound.

I wanna spread my wings high,
to touch the sky,
to leave this ground,
and fly, fly away.

I wanna see the world,
from a different view,
disguises and stories,
and if they're all true.

I wanna spread my wings,
till they touch the sky,
I wanna fly like a bird,
in the midnight sky.

I wanna catch the sight,
of broken daylight,
to twist and turn,
to become something that burns.

I wanna fly like a bird,
to get away from this town,
to fly over the ocean,
and become,
its sweet sound.

A Life She Never Knew Of

One tree stood between a road and a life she thought she would never know of.

The life that was covered with blurred pictures.
She would try to wipe them away with a touch of her hand.

Putting one foot infront of the other,
she would slip,
falling deeper into the sounds of her imagination,
creating things with no meaning.

She wanted to feel something for once.
Tripping over innocent words;
they would run through her head.

She became lost just to have a reason to be found.

She stood on the edges of the sea,
with the one tree standing between a road and a life she thought she would never know of,
behind her,
she opened her arms to the waves,
and,
let go.

When Words Fail, Music Speaks

From the rain that falls,
to the wind that speaks,
silence with every meaningless breath,
you twist to fit the mold that I am in.

Beyond the sheets that wrap us in a bond,
I lie awake,
staring in to the darkness of our perfect shadow,
with the touch of your hand,
on my warm tan skin,
I'm speechless.

Lost in my own world,
and yet you always find a way,
to bring me back to a perfect reality.

The Place I Call Home

The whispers in the wind are calling me,
to turn around and find you.
They make shape to the curves of my body,
where you would fit if you were here,
now and forever.


They call me from the depths of my soul,
from the empty spaces in my heart,
where you would be found,
where I once thought you were lost.


The sound of the waves are all that comforts me,
The sound comes from within my imagination,
Where I find myself waking up to you by my side,
Never leaving,
Never saying goodbye.


The ocean calls me to run away,
in to the sunset,
beyond the world,
where the sand was in love with the sea,
and all that is left,
are the whispers in the wind,
that are calling me,
to turn around and find you,
standing there,
now and forever,
never to let go.


And,
now I am,
home.

The Open Window

She's strong,
because she knows what it's like to be weak.
She keeps a guard up,
because she knows what it's like to cry herself to sleep.


She makes the world around her happy,
because she longs to be that one.
She dreams bigger than the ocean she stands in front of,
because she longs for her worthless body to fall and become one with the sun.


She's strong,
because she knows what it's like to be weak,
She reaches for the light of day,
because maybe you're going to be the one that saves her,
in her sleep.

The Dream

You need not to reach for the stars,
when life becomes so dark,
believe in where you stand,
and hold life in the palm of your hand.


Separate yourself from the cold summer seas,
and rejoin with a new life you've waited to see,
embrace yourself with open arms,
and never deny the person that you really,
are.

Story of a Lifetime

You're a book that was written for me,
to read all my life,
to guide me down the right path,
so I'll never turn back.


You were written for me,
to show me what I cannot see,
to be the headlights of resistant dreams,
to shine down over everything.


The candle burns slowly as I read every page,
to understand you and your complicated ways.


As the words twist and turn inside my head,
a blurred picture is created instead.


As the light from the candle begins to fade,
I realize that the book is beautiful in every way.


You're a book that was written for me,
to read all my life,
and now I see,
you're everything that a book should be.

The Other World

I just gotta think to myself,
put one foot in front of the other,
well how did that all turn out?


I'm lost in the shores of an endless sea,
and I don't know where I'll end up or be,
Will you at least come find me,
before the break of dawn?
Or I'll become hopeless in the midnight sun.


I see my life flash before my eyes,
I toss and I turn,
to erase everything in sight,
to find you walking towards me 
as I crawl to my knees,
I awake to find that
it was only
just a
dream.

Remember Me

Two by two,
love is lost,
on the beach,
with sand in my hand.

You smell so sweet,
like summer in the air,
watch me as i fall,
into the water of forgotten memories,
always remember,
me.

Dark skin,
lazy eyes,
the rush of the waves make me feel so alive,
watch me as i sink,
into the waves of the endless sea,
now i'm callin'
always remember,
me.

Come back,
back to me,
where the earth meets the sea,
watch me as i stand,
in the water of your hopeless dreams,
watch me as i wait,
for the sun to fall in to place,
and darlin',
remember me.

Two by two,
love is found,
on the beach,
where your hand meets mine.

Watch me as i fall,
into the arms of my dear,
catch me as i sink,
into the waves of my beloved sea,
now darlin'
always remember,
me.

Come In With The Rain

The silence of the rain comforts me,

as I walk down the road of "life"...

alone.

I've hidden myself from the world.

no one can find me

and no one will ever try.

I'm lost and can never be found.

I sit outside your window,

in hope you'll wake up from reality and enter my dream.

but to you, 

I'm worthless.

I'm just a mistake in your past.

I'm lost and can never be found.

I now stand in the world of the unknown,

not as a person,

but as a photo album of your mistakes,

abandoned and useless.

I open my palm to the world,

as I watch a lifeless rain drop crash against the soft edges of my skin.

I start to believe in myself for once. 

people begin to appear on my road of "life"

but with one simple blink,

they disappear.

I'm lost and can never be...

found.

Where Do I Find Myself?

I get lost in the scent of your skin,

The smile in your eyes,

The sound of your heart beating against mine,

And how you’re not like any other guy.

It wraps me in a comforting blanket,

That takes me to paradise,

A place like no other,

A place far away from dreams,

A place that takes me to the ends of the world

As I watch it wrap me in a wave, to crash against the edges of my soul.

There’s a new beginning to every word you speak,

The silent whispers in the night never end until the light,

Of the darkness breaks to become a new day,

And we can start all over, how do I even begin to say.

I love you.
