Bored Inspiration

Yeah I’m so bored
I’m counting the cars
I’m so bored, dear lord
Waiting for the stars

Waiting for a brainwave
Something to drag me out the dark
Because its inspiration I crave
Something from the heart

I guess I should give in
I could write, read or speak
But I can’t find a song I wanna sing
Nor a tune that isn’t pathetically weak

So show me when you’re done
Because its thoughts I lack
From this boredom I run
Follow me coz I never look back

Games

You know, for once I don't care
You can keep your tainted share
But you get to watch me walk away
What you have done, there shall be hell to pay

Theres nothing like a bit of fun to entertain
But one must be able to handle the pain
Of losing the one that solved your riddle
The one that refused to be trapped in the middle

You can look at me or look at her
Show yourself or hide behind your fur
Because these games are going to end
With the loss of the one you call friend

So take your reward, for the judgement is near
Not that I expect you to feel fear or shed a tear
But I warn you none the less because just you wait
The consequences are harsh when one plays with fate

See My Love, See My Life

How can you not see me now?
When will I leave this love?
I wanna fly will you teach me how?
I wanna soar through the sky above

But I know we grow no wings
However you can make me high
Would you call my hope a sin?
My hope that you will help me fly

They say a love lost
Is better that a love ignored
This ignorance, my heart, it frosts
Please my persistence you must award

Every time we split apart
I feel you taking my heart
I lived in the dark swore never to fall
But was there a time I didn’t love you? I don’t recall

Glimpse

In all my time I've seen but a glimpse
Of forgotten favours, odd behaviours
And life on a whole
Life on the role of an elder
On the promise of what and what not to tell her
Little is truth that could be reasoned with sanity
Or held close to the devilish vanity
Which the world holds as a trait
The glimpse I have seen holds little experience
Nor the acceptance of life and of fate
Just little people playing their part
To uphold the worlds fragile state
So I watch and review as best as I can
Is the world dependent on beast or on man?
For I see just a glimpse of the peace we expect
Less peace than there would be if we didn't reject
The severity our actions reflects on the future we hold

A Little Late Faith

Is it true, is it real?
This emotion that I feel
It makes me glow
This emotion I must show

Look, see me smile
See me run mile after mile
You ask me why, it’s childish, won’t last
But that is because of your painful past

You need to see my love
Let go of the mourning dove
See the suns bright shine
Take a risk, step over the line

Let it free your heart
Let the experience start
You need not to worry
This love you need not hurry

Replace The Fear

I won't ask you why your tears bleed
I won't ask what terrors your memory feeds
I won't ask in which way you would flee
But I will ask that you trust in me
I know what it's like to run without hope
To have all your distress tie the rope
To curl up and hold your throbbing head
All because of what others said
So I won't ask if you're okay
There's no way you would stay
Instead I'll hold your hand and kiss your lips
I'll walk side by side and hide your slips
No-one will judge your broken cries
None will badger you with what's and whys
As long as you trust that I'll protect you
We can build you up strong and true
Because you're not broken my dear
No, we just have to find a love to replace the fear

Ask

I ask you for nothing but still you give more
More than I ask for and for that I adore
The way that your lips move and I smile in awe
The way that your hands move and discover my flaws
I ask you for nothing and you still hold me high
High of opinion, these feelings won't lie
Not like he did when he left me behind
Nor are they fake like those who play kind
I ask you for nothing but still feel confused
Why do you stay where there's nothing to use?
No wants or demands, no favours or plea
Just a confused little girl so similar to me
So maybe I ask this one little thing
Why do you stay? When there's no prize to win
Just a heart and a mind that warms to you
And hopes for dreams that one day may come true

Reflections

She looks in the mirror
And all she sees is me
Not the perfect person
Shes always wants to be

So now she will break
This awful connection
And show me the ultimate
Heart-breaking rejection

But even though she tries
To break me with all her might
She cant hurt what isn't here
No good will come from this fight

Screaming no longer helps
Nor do the marks and scars
Nothing will stop us now
We have already gone too far

Problems with Perfection

You say that you’re perfect
But your life isn’t worth it
You live your life breezing by
Passing it by please don’t lie

This isn’t how your life should be
Mistakes make a person perfect to me
But you refuse to look through my eyes
All you see are clear seas and blue skies

Maybe in a world so make believe
Your shallow mind you can deceive
Turn from the truthful reality
But that means leaving your family

I tried so hard to see your view
To find those warm arms to fall into
But your presence you hide so well
Is that truly you? No longer can I tell

Help To Heal

Sweet heart it seems you don't understand
My love, our lives, they weren't planned
When we meet I saw your hidden flaws
But she still had you in her filthy paws

You see I didn't mean to get so attached
But when you fell into my arms I had to react
I couldn't bear to let it fall, that first tear
I couldn't believe that she would solidify your fear

How dare she hurt such a gentle soul?
I guess you need support, betrayal took its toll
She destroyed your faith and now just look
Your agony makes you obvious, an open book

It pains me in such a way that it hurts to say
However I know that she wounded you more that day
So I'll wait for you to heal so I can tell you
A simple little secret that only I knew
