Talking to Myself Again

Don't be so quick to
Make a judgement call
I guarantee, you're not as weird as me

I feel the need to explain
This indecision inside of me
And I don't understand me anymore

So I'll sit and chat with me
Talking to myself again
Might as well make the best of it
Talking to myself n then
I help me see the brighter side of things

No one really gets me
But I don't even get me
How is anyone else supposed to see

I now find myself
Talking to an old friend
I'm talking to myself again

So I'll sit and chat with me
Talking to myself again
Might as well make the best of it
Talking to myself n then
I help me see the brighter side of things

Well, when you find yourself
Wishing you were somewhere else
Just throw your head back and scream

Some things break monotony
Like cold showers n hot tea
But I almost feel the need to just sit n be me

So I'll sit and chat with me
Talking to myself again
Might as well make the best of it
Talking to myself n then
I help me see the brighter side of things

Why am I so tired of
Be with myself all day
Like I need someone else to tag along

So will ya stick around
Hang out with me and myself
I know it sounds, but I think he likes you

Morning Light

The taste of earthy
Coffee in the morning
Sit back, close my eyes
Worries float away
Like the light from my eyes

The morning light
Like a friend away for a while
But soon back again
The morning light
Lit to start every day

The day's light
Tastes so good
After a long night
Dreams that danced around
Now wake up from their flight

Oh oh
The morning light
Like a friend away for a while
But soon back again
The morning light
Lit to start every day

No one ever stays asleep
We all wake eventually
Through the blinds it creeps
No matter how long the night
Morning light thru the window creeps

Oh oh
The morning light
Like a friend away for a while
But soon back again
The morning light
Lit to start every day

But what if it was like my friends
I wake one morning
Decides not to descend
Doesn't feel like coming out today
Our sad friendship at an end

It's okay, I'm assured
The morning light wouldn't go away
She's not the type who'd ignore
The morning light
She's comin back soon, I'm sure

Oh oh
The morning light
She's away for a while
But soon back again
The morning light
Lit to start every day

Forever Broken

When it's cold and rainy
And your days are long
Every conversation seems so long

Friends fade in your vision
Others just lead you on
Why is it so hard to find a friend

All ya want is...
Something warm inside
Someone to be by your side

Friends fade in your vision
Others just lead you on
Why is it so hard to find a friend

Well I'll tell you something
There's nothing sadder than
A heart that's forever broken

At least when someone's died
You can move past your pain
Once they longer remain

A heart forever broken
Just pains me to think about
Please, my friend, come on out

I know friends fade in your vision
Others just lead you on
It's so hard to find a friend
But you find the end
Will justify a mean

Sometimes when you move on
You will find that there are sunny days
Far brighter than you have ever known

So when friends fade in your vision
Just let them leave your sight
Cause I'll still here with you
I'll just sit here by your side
And we'll just waste away the night.

A Tortoise or A Hare

Cause the birds and the bees
N the apples in the trees
All seem to see
What they're supposed to do
Naturally

Don't know which one
I'd rather be
The tortoise or the hare
Slow n steady
Or always ready
To have some fun

Well the rabbit hops along
N the blue jay sings a song
Both seem never wrong
When they're hopping
To a song

Don't know which one
I'd rather be
The tortoise or the hare
Slow n steady
Or always ready
To have some fun

Oh the frog hips n hops
While the monkey never drops
They both make sudden stops
For a little snack, this routine it
Never stops

Don't know which one
I'd rather be
The tortoise or the hare
Slow n steady
Or always ready
To have some fun

Sometimes I think I tend toward
The impatient little hare
Always want my fun
But don't get anywhere
After the race is done

A little girl walks with nuns
As the little boy runs
Always playing with his guns
But when they both grow they want
The other ones

Don't know which one
I'd rather be
The tortoise or the hare
Slow n steady
Or always ready
To have some fun

My little shelled friend
I'd be you in the end
Cause you've shown me
That sometimes it pays
To take it slow.

Wake up

The way the world spins today
Spins the same as yesterday
Find myself talking to myself again
To break the routine

N I said Wake Up
Wake Up
Oh Waa aaa aake Up
Wake Up

I'm spent
I'm in love with a girl
Who doesn't know
What she wants

My days are a loop
Same thing
Day in
Day out

The monotony
Is killing me
When will the cycle end

N I cry Wake Up
Wake Up
Oh Waa aaa aake Up
Wake Up

I need a new day
Somethin new to say
N to go out n play

My days are a loop
Just a copy
Of a copy
Of a copy

Hard to tell
The difference between real
And just the surreal

So I scream Wake Up
Wake Up
Oh just Wake Up

Unfaithful

Why's it so hard
To find a faithful friend
Do they all just loose interest
Well then, what's wrong with me

I just want to
Talk for a while
I just need a companion
Haven't found on in the longest while

Someone to make smile
To laugh n stay
Is that too much to ask
I feel like I give
But never recieve

Someone actually told me
That she'd never heard my laugh
Now that I think about it
I don't laugh hardly ever
When did that happen to me

I've started loosing faith
In those around me
No one can even see
Cause they don't read my words
Or hear what my eyes say

Well g'night
Cause I can't sit here
N sing along
To this sad n lonely song
And I can't write another word...

Just Dust and Wind

There's something it took
Something I'll never get back
Something's wrong with me

There's gotta be more than
Dust and wind
This can't be it
This can't be all
Just dust and wind

Some things are never
What they seem to be

A file folder is all it is
Labeled untitled folder
Labeled far different from actual

There's gotta be more than
Dust and wind
This can't be it
This can't be all
Just dust and wind

These things are never
What they seems to be

Not everything that seems
Is what it seems
Something burns deep in me
Something that mars the heart of me

A simple glance
Turns into stare, to memorize
Turns into something terrible

There's gotta be more than
Dust and wind
This can't be it
This can't be all
Just dust and wind

These things are never
What they seems to be

But only the sight of her
Is a blindness to her heart
You can't see deep down
When you're just lookin at what's around

There's gotta be more than
Dust and wind
This can't be it
This can't be all
Just dust and wind

These things are never
What they seems to be

This dust that settled on my heart
It's made things grow old inside o me
It's this wind that blows around
That chilled the heart of me

There's gotta be more than
Dust and wind
This can't be it
This can't be all
Just dust and wind

Cause dust's the stuff
And wind's the thing
That chills the heart of me
It chills the heart of me

Someone to Talk

Are you bitter
Do you feel betrayed
I know what she did
And I know it hurts

You say it's all wrong
So if you wanna talk
And don't know what to say
I can just be here

Well, right now
I'm not looking for romance
I'm just looking for a friend
Someone to talk

And I know
It's the hard part
Being content alone
But it's more than that

Oh but I wanna say
It's so good to see you
It's been so very long

Well, right now
I'm not looking for romance
I'm just looking for a friend
Someone to talk

I know this hits you
Hits you to the core
But done let it
Beat ya down

It's kinda like the drenching rain
Outside ya can't see a thing
And the water soaks you
Soaks ya thru and thru

Oh but I wanna say
It's so good to see you
It's been so very long

Well, right now
I'm not looking for romance
I'm just looking for a friend
Someone to talk

It's lonely when ya think about
How things should be
Cause reality isn't there
And won't ever really be

Well, right now
I'm not looking for romance
I'm just looking for a friend
Someone to talk

A friend had been wounded by one of her good friends. It was a betrayal of her trust and of her heart.

A Buried Message

There's a message
I've been trying to send
It's post marked n mailed

I've gotta get that message
Through to you

A train is funny thing
So confined to move
Along it's winding rails

There's this train
I've sent you a message
And I need this train to get thru

There's a message
I've been trying to send
It's post marked n mailed

I've gotta get that message
Through to you
Cause I need u to know of love

A heart is a funny thing
So out of control at times
Doesn't know what it wants

This heart has spilled
And it's in a letter
I hope it's on it's way to you

There's a message
I've been trying to send
It's post marked n mailed

I've gotta get that message
Through to you
Cause I need u to know of love

A heart can grow so cold
If love is left untold
And so I wrote this note

I heard the news today
What happened to that train
It won't reach it's destination

That train going thru a tunnel
The ground caved in
Trapped in the darkness

I just pray my heart
Will not stay trapped
Like my letter has been

There's a message
I've been trying to send
It's post marked n mailed

I've gotta get that message
Through to you
Cause I need u to know of love

Cause I need you
I love you
And I just want to
Let you know

Cause train cars and letters
Can't describe
Everything that's inside

This message I've sent to you
I've been trying to send for some time
I've gotta get that message through
Cause I need you to know

What good is it to live
If you don't let your heart love
So this message
I entrust to you
Baby, I love you.

This is not written about a specific girl. It is more a song about a man who never told a girl how he felt. He sent his letter on a train, and that train was trapped in a mountain tunnel. He pured out his heart in that letter, is now not sure if his heart will ever send that message again.

Blinding Darkness

Why when you are here
Holding me still
Do I still try to move

My heart has grown so tired
From my running
And all that I haven't given over

I know that "she" will never
Cover the empty
That overshadows my heart

I have tried to make her more
Than she's meant
To ever have been

A long stretching darkness
Over a water so deep
Can't see a thing, this blinding darkness
Is all I see

Sitting in the darkness
By the water
I stare into the night

Emptiness collides with motion
As water laps
A shore I can not see

A long stretching darkness
Over a water so deep
Can't see a thing, this blinding darkness
Is all I see

I keep looking for something
I can't see
So how do I even know

Is that thing what I think it is
Or do I wait
For something better than I see

A long stretching darkness
Over a water so deep
Can't see a thing, this blinding darkness
Is all I see

I'm more blind than I could know
I see this
Which seem so ironic looking back

Don't wanna walk in the dark
Not any more
Cause it's so lonely there

A long stretching darkness
Over a water so deep
Can't see a thing, this blinding darkness
Is all I see

Tears stream down my face
Cause I'm lost
But I don't have to stay here

Faint rays of the sunshine
Creep the horizon
The empty seems so less empty

A long stretching shoreline
Over a water so deep
My eyes are clearing, warm orange glow
Is all I see

This is written about the Lord bringing things to light in my life that have seemed to have been in darkness for so long. When we search for meaning on our own, we might as well be looking for something in the pitch blackness of night.

One

Few things stand alone
In this life
But those things that can
Stand strong

We get one true love
Some may fall out of it
But there was only one
Only one love

Who do you love tonight
May it stay true

Even breathe comes in pairs
In then out
Never one without the other
One stops, so does the other

We get only one true love
Some may fall out of it
But there was only one
Only one love

Who do you love tonight
May it stay true

There's reason to believe
That I'll find it
As much as I wanna breathe
I wanna find her

We get only one true love
Some may fall out of it
But there was only one
Only one true love

Who do I love tonight
I pray it stay true

My fears come in pairs
Will she stay
If she will then will it be
All our lives

We get only one true love
Some may fall out of love
But there was only one
Only one true love we get

I pray to be true
But that's just my part
I pray our heart be one
That's the one thing
On my mind
