music+passion=love

everyone gathers round

on this fourth day of July

bringing food, games, and enthusiasm,

to celebrate our freedom 

and wave our flags high.

watching children play 

and lovers exchange 

their goodbye kisses,

we salute to all the wonderful men and women

who fight for all our freedom.

prayers are lifted daily for those

coming and going,

every day that passes 

wouldn't be so renewing,

if it were...

can't stop crying

the tears fall, never ending,

this happiness doesn't last 

it's only temporary

needing something to last forever

praying you won't fail me

you never have, you never will,

why has it become so hard

to swallow reality

to feel anything

your voice has grown faint

I'm walking this distance

with a small shadow follwing behind

I know you're out there

I believe you're with me

why can't I j...

calm to everyone

distance to all

but dying to break 

pain eats at me

swelling from within

on the outside

all seems so serene

but as reality sets in 

I feel I have lost my mind

my imperfections fail me

how can you remain  strong

nothing  seems to worry you

even with it all going wrong

I know I'm falling 

the sky  reflecting blue 

sunse...

who is this girl 

crawling inside my skin

the reflection looking in the mirror

is not the same one I saw within

it changes

like night and day

this girl, she's tired,

lack of motivation and sleep

have caught up 

tryin to fight the pain

raging day to day

they see her so differently

is this what she's become

just like all those other girls

she had wished she'd never become

but now she's seeing the...

oh, it's gonna be great here,

sitting around again everyday,

here's to nothing to do

and playing solitaire,

oh how I wish, life was much simpler,

although sometimes I feel everything will be alright,

I keep telliing myself, I'll get by,

this is just life

looks like another lonely night

into the town, riding down south,

the wind blowing my hair as the moon shines down

I can smell the salt of the ocean, I wanna hear the crash of the waves,

the sand in my toes, I wanna breathe life completely in again

the smoke rises, as he exhales the last breath of a cigarrette,

rolls the joint so tight and smooth, this was his only interest,

we're all just sittin around, waiting for time to pass us by,

what is ...

I remember the day I lost you

it seems like it was just yesterday

all the memories still haunt me

I can still see your smiling face

the love in your heart you had for so many

will never outgrow this painful world

and I know you light up the darkness

when I get a little lost these days

nothing I do can numb me completely

it only makes the reality set in more quickly

not a cigarrette, not a blunt,

no alchohol, no doubie's,

...

close my eyes

as I drift off, I start to sigh,

quietly in the distance I see the sunset

as my eyelids shut, I start to dream

listening to the sound of my favorite music in the background

I think of you, always wondering where you are, how you feel,

if you remember me,

since we last met, do you regret, do you recall,

all these things you swear you didnt speak of

 beyond your only memories

were we nothing near reality

I be...

maybe you will find someone

way better than me

maybe you are dreaming

hoping, wishing,

awaiting for someone perfect

unlike myself

I don't know how to feel anymore

fading from everything and everyone else

I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna hurt,

cause I always seem to lash out

why does it seem its ok for you be angry

but I can't stay bitter

nothing stays the same

I'll never know the answer

sometimes I wonder why you love me so much

I ponder how you still to this day, care no matter what

I get so angry, about the dumbest things,

hoping you will forgive me, after I say the meanest things,

although I never mean any of it,

I pray, you will never leave, I love you like no one else,

gosh boy, you got me so tongue tied, I can't think, I can't sleep,

I dream of you and me one day, walking down the aisle,

you holding my hand as I walk up t...
