Your Mouth Is FoulI;m not buying what you sell
Because I can already tell
Everything you say to me
Isn't truthful, can't you see
The interest's no longer there

Any words my ears are blocking
As the seconds are...

Who splayed out her hind legs backwards
And as I left, I looked back and paused
As her face fell silently
Onto
her paws.

The streets we ruled, the streets we got to keep
As if tomorrow was never going to come
The sun would grow old above...

Neither Here Nor ThereEveryone laughs and everyone cries,
But then when it's time to say their goodbyes,
Nobody wants to nobody’s ready.

Everyone comes and everyone goes,
But nobody...

An Unlocked Door
My dearest child, please hear
You are still underage
The world you do not fear
Its strength you cannot gauge
If fixed to go away
Don’t bring on dreadful shame
That will make it certain
Ever stamped on your name
Life demands a...

My Greatest SinWhat’s worse than hating someone you used to love?
Someone you admired disappointing you
Again and again

The Cold
What are you doing? No, don’t do that!
Don’t play with the cold.
Make sure the doors closed tight.
Make sure the seals hold.

I'm Just Here For NowI'm surviving
Biding my time
Filling my days
With words that rhyme
Living each day
As it arrives

Still survives
I dream of the future
Such a time will come
That I will leave this place
When my lessons are done
I will move...
