The Hero 05:20
"Here I come to save the day. You'll be save. You'll be okay. I don't want to see you fall. I don't ever want to see you all. But you feel just like a ghost haunting my computer screen. How can you call me untrue when you're the one thats just a dream to me. I woke up in reality."

You shed DNA all over this lonely apartment. I pick up the pieces catching your diseases. I'll try not to take these things for granted because each moment is so home significant. Glory and praise, addiction and fame make love just part of the game. These days I find myself looking back on last summer. You remind me of something that I had and I remember laying on my bed, I said, "You've got the sun on your head."

Sometimes it feels okay to have something worth the chase. Oh how I love the taste of legs and a face. I need to find a place with some saving grace. She flies close to me than leaves without a trace spreading wings of intelligence. She has a mind of her own. It doesn't feel okay to just be second place. Too long in outer space leaves me wanting more. I'm sinking through the floor where I can be no more. To many times before, she's caught me fall. I don't want to feel like I'm giving more than I'm receiving. Double standards take their toll; my patience rises to the ceiling. I've done enough to prove my self I think, but enough is never enough. No, enough is enough.
6.
Now I know this isn't my place but I just want to help. I think I can. But I can't tell you how to live or what to think or how to feel. I've been through a lot more than I think. More than you should be weighed down by. You have to let go. You don't have to know where you're going right now. You don't have to know who you are right now. I know you feel alone when there's no one there, but you know IM right here. Think you're good enough cause you're the best I've seen. I know you wish you got as much as you give, and I know it's hard to loose the ones we love. I know who you are. You're someone I believe in.

It's a Body 04:54
It's not all wrong when I look at you. I don't think I have a problem. I just think I'm in love.
10.
You used your finger just like a gun shooting a brave hello. Simple nods from across the room express feelings tolerance. I saw my reflection inside. So many noises blend into one recognizing the importance of each moment. I don't want to talk because everything is left unsaid. I just want to know what goes on in your head. I'll do what you want me to if thats all I have to do. I said it's okay not to have it my way, but you don't know what that feels like. I saw my reflection inside looking down into my glass that you poured; I threw it out. Why should I have to feel ashamed. Have you got all that you need from me? Is this enough? I don't think you'll ever see it's all about you. It's always been about you.
11.
I've been treading water for days waiting for the rescue ship. It's you. We dance, we kiss, we fight, so I stay up all night. I'm so far gone. I can't hold on. I can't slow down on this Roller Coaster. I need you more than anything. It's so obvious. I can't let it be. But I'd rather keep all my dignity than to be the fool that broke the rule.
12.
I told myself to do the best that I can. I told myself to move forward. I don't want to feel like this again. It's not for me. I can't be seen anymore this way. I don't want to feel so far away. I'll put on the new disguise so you can't recognize. Think about who you are was the last thing you said to me but I think I know who I'm supposed to be. Now I'm thinking about the way things are. I need more. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that can't believe anything I say. And I don't sleep anymore from the humiliation and I can't be seen this way again so I'll put on my new sunglasses. I don't sleep anymore. Could it be just I have no reason to let go?

I gave in again. You're a temptress. It's alright again. I won't fake this. I gave in again. You're so tempting. Your lips on mine; I'm just reacting. I don't think I can take anymore. This is what I get for sleeping on the floor. No rules? No lies. I can't deny. I didn't sleep that night; I had a lot to learn lying next to you kidding myself that I'm in control. It's not a game anymore to me. You're like a magician; you're so hypnotic. I don't have the strength to try to let go. After all those things I didn't want to know, I'm pretty sure I haven't learn anything at all. I don't want to talk about the things you put me through. I'd rather feel at home when I'm coming back to you. I guess it's time to swallow my pride. I'll be fine. It'll be alright.

about

I want everyone to try and write a song today after they read this. If you have a guitar or a piano or a computer with some music program in your house, write a song. When you're done, share that song with a friend and tell them to write a song. Let your emotions guide you. It doesn't matter if you know nothing about music, play what you want to hear. I want to bridge the gap between musicians and listeners. Everything that we create is good in some way. The musicians that we see on TV are no more talented than everyone else. We all have the ability and talent to create something beautiful, I promise. Believe in yourself.
