an incomplete portrait, complete with hair...

If only it was quiet everywhere
if only it were quiet inside my head
Too bad, so sad
this carefully orchestrated area of noise
is just part of the elements that...

And romanced with your innate madness
I look for a place to reside

I wandered around the solitary room
Trying to hold back my...

		To travel with him on a trip,
		Way up north to Glenora station,

Before they steal my heart.
There are simply no excuses,
For the wonder they impart.

I can’t see the wind,
Before it attacks the calm,

In the darkness of the night, 
with the beautiful stars above.
There's a lonesome Whippoorwill. 
Calling out for his Dear love.

A young soul with dreams, but fears have grown.

The rush of emotion, 
The thud of adrenaline, 
Amidst the commotion, 
Scouting for medicine,
