  • You and I

    And I don't know what I'm doing here
    And you're not welcome here
    They made that very clear...
    You and I

    I never took myself as a Romantic
    I never thought that I'd fall
    I had so many walls...
    You and I

    You and I could be flying
    I'd follow you anywhere
    There's no place I won't dare...
    You and I

    I was never one for the love poems
    I thought I'd never fall for that trick
    But now I'm in so thick...
    You and I

    Walk with me in the lonely spaces
    And we'll forget our names
    Let's just forget our names...
    You and I

  • You say that life is a dream
    Then Just stay asleep
    For if I fail to save you
    I fail to save myself...

    The sea is wild and big
    There's other lands to see
    So just stay asleep
    Stay asleep...please

  • what I'm waiting for...

    Im waiting for my train to pull into the station...
    Waiting for my ticket to finally be punched;
    Waiting for that exhale of steam,
    Waiting for the uncomfortable seats,
    For the awkward glances
    And stuttered conversation from my box compatriats...

     

    Im waiting for my train to pull into the station,
    Waiting for my departure into the unknown...

  • life changes

    Sometimes things happen that completely derail everything that you had going at that point in time. That train not only comes to a complete stop but with its momentum goes careening over the cliff edge...

    So now Im building a new train, from scratch...bigger, bolder, better (it can fly this time!! ^_^) Im also gonna try a new route, I hate the canyon rails.

    *in laymens terms*
    Shit happened that totally stopped my life...but life never stops to ask if you are ok, it just keeps going.  It never gives you a breather.  So now I gotta pick up the pieces and start actually doing something with my life. You only live once (that you can remember of anyway) so why live it shittily? Gotta stop wasting time. And the first place Im gonna start is with my job---sooo trying to do a career change. Should've stayed in retail instead of thinking that working where I am now would actually lead somewhere (no promotions, no raises.) Hopefully, then, I will have enough energy to actually start working on doing web site design...and then gotta get my own place (my nana doesnt seem like she wants to keep the house now that my pappy is gone.) 

    So much to do, shouldve started a long time ago...
