The Freaks and the Goners

To the freaks and the goners
I say we raise a glass
To the lonelies and the loners
The weirdos and outcasts
To us freaks, the ones who still stand,
The ones who no matter what,
Never say "I can't"
To the ones who sit alone at lunch, the ones with no friends
The ones who never give up
Who know it's not the end
To the cast downs and broken hearted,
The beaten and the bruised
The ones who think they're ugly, 
And will never know the truth
The ones witch aching chests
The ones who know it's okay to cry
The ones who stand alone
And believe all the lies

Hang With Me Tonight

Hold my hand and tie a noose
Close your eyes and let hang loose
Watch the world fall out of sight
And darling, hang with me tonight

Empty Promises

The emptied bottle's contents                              
Are swirling down the drain 
But when tomorrow comes
She'll pay with pills and pain
Her meager meal is forgotten                                                                                                
Flushed down the greedy pipes
But when tomorrow comes
She'll just go on to cuts and stripes
The cigarettes are gone now
"Im gonna quit I swear"
But when tomorrow comes
Those words were never there
 The drugs are in the trash bin                             
The needles thrown away
But when tomorrow comes
She'll play a whole new game
The razors in the dumpster
Awaiting tomorrow's hurt                                   
Because when tomorrow comes                                      
The promises are worth as much as dirt

To Drown

She walks along the empty beach,
She looks over the ocean, what does she?
She sees a ship sailing by,
But alas- just a trick of her eyes
A single tear drips down her cheek
And hits the sand beneath her feet.
The sea breeze ruffles her linen gown
And draws her to the water, the water to drown.

A March Into Water

A cemetery under the sea
A safehold for just you and me
Together we'll drown in the piano keys
While melodies fill our lungs as we sleep. 
A battle fought as one into the night
Screaming at the top of our lungs for the 
sky
Standing our ground despite the fading 
light
Begging for forgiveness as we fall through 
time.
For the last time I will say goodbye 
And have a march into water for the ones I 
left behind.

Below the Sky

Toss and turn below the sky
Staying up again tonight,
While heartache ails the weary mind
And walks along the narrow line,
Afraid to move afraid to fall
To close my eyes and risk it all.
Dreams can come and dreams can go
But where they start I'll never know.
So strike up a match and light my eyes
Heat the thoughts and let them rise,
Drop the bombs to take the risk
To grant an insomniac her wish.

Give Me a Heart

Give me your heart,
I'll give you mine
No it's not broken, 
My heart is just fine. 
Give me a heart,
Replace mine with yours
No it's not broken,
It's just kind of torn.
Give me a heart,
I have none left
Mine fell apart,
And left me for dead.
Give me a heart,
I'll take good care
No I'm not crying,
I'm happy I swear!
Give me a heart, 
I'm broken inside
I fell like nothing, 
Like I've already died.
Give me a heart,
Something to hold
As my breath starts to cease
And my death unfolds.
