Tickle my nose with the smell of your fragrancy
Your tranquility...

The minute I black-out I could lose my soul
Negative reinforcement saturates my...

Her mother's wishes still fresh in her mind

Leading her courage and kindness to seal her fate

The days turned to months and those to...

"I have created perception in you
only in order to be the object of my perception.
If then you perceive Me, you perceive yourself.

It is through my eyes that you see...

The strangiest livestreet of all the days,
No place so perfectly townsplit,
Half of this street is in Fillblubber,
And the other half is in Cawbit.

The Nensorays on the Fillblubber side,
Never utter or cry or caportle.

One branch broke, and then there were nine.

Nine little golden girls went to skate
One fell through a crack, and then there were eight.

Eight little golden girls dined on...

I will be there for you any time you need
I cannot say whether you'll do the same
Whenever your heart may bleed
I'll be whispering your alluring name
Even if you refuse to accede
I will be there for...

When you try and speak there are things you cannot say
It is as if the strongest winds carry your words away

Yet still, your eyes captivate inside of mine
Even without words, I can read the unspoken...

There are times when waking up is hard
Easier when you are near yet difficult if far
That's when I stay down like a fallen card
As though I am as stuck as a star.

Do you watch the...

When it begins to storm outside
When all are gone upon you relied
When you feel utterly defied
And when all of your tears have been cried

Just look to your left and there I'll stand
No matter how hard...

Of all things, it is happiness and fear
Both of these are strongly sincere
Either a laugh or cold tears shed
That's when the pain develops in my head.

Lucky for me,...

Could it be?
Can it be so?
A place for me?
Does anyone know?
Where can I see?
Which way do I go?

Zero smiles turn to frowns
Everyone in their own control
Odd...

When I laugh, I cry,
Always holding the pain inside
I'm like a screaming child.

My tears are wet, but they always dry,
Always finding some place to hide
I'm a number that can't be dialed.

My wings are broken, but...

We all have secrets
We all have lies

Some of us the creepiest
Some of them ties,

That bind us together
That make us who we are

They stay forever
They never go far.

They stay in the subconscious
In the back of the...

Everyone has a story to tell
Whether it come from heaven or deep down in hell
They aren't always spoken of, you see
That's when to ask yourself, what would you believe?

Is there a fate or do we...

I cannot find the words and I cannot find the tune
Everything inside my mind is blank
Up flying high is a lost balloon
About to pop with me to thank.

Thinking hasn't been doing me well
Procrastination is the...

Away from here
That is where I want to go
I want to be able to breathe.
Nowhere near
Just keep digging really low
I want to be underneath.
Somewhere bold with something bright
That is where I want to be

When I look, I stare
Always taking my breath away,

From your toes to your hair
I could do this each and every day.

When I hold, I grasp
Always clenching to your touch,

Like a lock to a clasp
You are...
