Montana Skies

a passing glance is all it took
how could it be that with just one look
you turned my whole world upside down

dont think about the past 
it wont help us last 
and we can stand the test of time on our own

Montana dont cry
over Tennessee skies 
cause im here to take away all those sad sighs

and baby dont ya go
cause then youll never really know 
just where it is that my heart lies

my heart wont lie to you
every word i said 
id bet youd bet it were true

years comin on faster than expected
and with every passing moment another memory collected
and stored away with all that youve given me. 

so Montana dont cry 
over unfamiliar skies 
youre sure ill never leave your side

our babies will go soon
and well be alone too
counting down the days to our last sunrise.

one last dance
and a kiss good bye
under a purple sky
60 years and we never asked why
we were never the kind for questions
but always a different answer dancin
inside our hearts

under Tennesse grass 
but in the clouds we rest 
after out bodies have died
now headed to the best days of our lives
over, Montana...skies

A Hope Within Me

as long as i live 
thats how long i will love you
nothing more i can give
all of my dreams came true

you give me hope 
after you tear me down
it helps me cope 
when no one's around

ill spend forever with my heart in your hands
but the glass is stuck to the table 
and we're quickly losing sand

time is all too short 
but my hope will never fade
ive got my glory in a letter
and that should suffice for the rest of days

my hope will live on as long as you love me,
always

Original Poison

getting over you
poison from this wound

slowly coming out
lungs without any air
i dont know why you cant see
its impossible for me not to care

getting over you
poison from this wound

you ask for five minutes
i gave you my soul
you told me to answer
i left you alone

cold in the dark
chilled to the bone
i knocked on your heart
but no one was home

getting over you poison
poison from this wound
i never asked for any help
only that i could save myself

you told me you loved me first
i was the fool to let you in
i came out of this only being 
ive accepted that ill never win

next time ill know not to play the cards
now my heart is just broken parts
tears stain the deck
cold grips my neck

in one day i learned how to love and how to hate
to halves were once whole-making us separate 
you made me this way
the product of your profession
never to return
this is my last confession

one day ill love again but that day is not near
one day ill find the one to forever hold me near
one day ill forget who you were
but one day ill remember
soon i will learn that
life with you was the coldest december 
that the world has ever seen 


sitting here
shaking
crawling back in

drawing poison from a wound

that has long been under my skin

The Puppet Master

the puppet master has total control
and sometimes the puppet doesn't even have a clue of the life that its living

even though its existing theres always that hole
the one that keeps you from giving

i came into the picture
kinda invited myself in

i was quick in calling you my dear
quick in finding that i couldn't win

because the game had already started
and you were down in the mud
i gave you my love
and you gave me none

i saw the power he had
not over me, but over you
all of this was a little too late
because you already said were through

i then learned who the puppet master was
i knew what i had to do
i thought that my fighting would be enough
even though i tried there was only room to lose

so i told you how it was
the whole time you were blind
opened your eyes to newer things
a totally different side

you thanked the monster
and called me the hero

said i was responsible for everything
in reality only zero

i told you to write your own story
do it with passion
dont think of me
just the ground to throw the ash on 

 cut the strings behind you head
leave me in your mind as dead

start off strong and keep going faster
you no longer have a puppet master

Makin It

people ask me how im doin my response always the same
man im barely makin it cause this world is only pain
i look around expectin to find what makes me sane but the reason isnt plane

its not the fact the world it self is always pullin me down
or that i shed a tear when a rose hits the ground
i love her with a passion one that can not be faded
its harder than you think to describe yourself being jaded

fall for her till my heart is again sore
yet in the back of my mind i wonder if there is more
shes everythin ive asked for-all my hopes and dreams completely
but the weight she holds is only used to beat me 

fight back when your on the floor cold and bleedin out
cause its then that you will learn what youve done
your stronger than the love you think is real
you can live without the pressure its hard enough to deal
with the battle you face alone
love with never help how you feel 

you know i guess it makes since that the one thing designed to save us
ends up only prematurely engravin us in broken trust
when smiles turn to tears and tears become dust
its makes me wonder whatll become of love

it wont be long till the world sees that this love is just disease meant to bring the end
to you and me
and they will plead for what they thought was right
stain thier pillows with tears through the night
cry beacuse they know they were wrong and it was all just because they saw
 
fight back when your on the floor cold and bleedin out
cause its then you see what you lack 
your stronger than the love you think is real
you can live without the pressure its hard enough to deal
with the battle you face alone
love with never help how you feel 

its just a dream a haze cause i lived my life in a daze
of everything they said was true only to find that no one knew
love is one of those things you cant touch and yet it somehow makes it enough
but ya see you cant touch what doesnt exist
thats why im takin it off the emotions list

cause that walked out the door with you
feelings now makin my life only blue
listen carefully when this beat no longer sounds
pull the knife out of my back when i turn around

fight back when your on the floor cold and bleedin out
cause its then youll see there was always doubt
your stronger than the love you think is real
you can live without the pressure youve tried to reveal
with the battle you face alone
love with never help how you feel 

thats why im just barely makin it untill
the world sees that love is the lie to which we are all appealed

Breathless

So many ways to find yourself breathless
Come back to my arms from the land of the restless
Listen to my heart beat to the best song that you've ever heard

when theres no more sad tears left to cry in your eyes
and the last were sayin is sayin goodbye 
if i said let me die here would you think that i was absurd?

love my completely with all that you are
stay high on my feelings cause were raising the bar
were so far gone that the stars are under our feet

when the lights have all faded and no one is sure 
what to call the diseases for which there's no cure 
youd jump on my bike as id ride off into nothing

the roof is collapsing and my candy is old
the money's all gone and its time for me to fold
the gamble weve made cost more than material things

just love me completely with all that you were 
listen closely dear cause i know that youve learned 
our bikes cant fly quite as high as the diamonds we used to roam

cause were out here in the blackness that weve made 
when they left us alone
floating above all that matters
in this place i call home

we found a way to find ourselves breathless 
you came back to my arms from the realm of the restless
my heartbeat is the only sound out here my dear

The Abscence of Hate

pain has no color scent or taste
but pain like this is simply called hate

hate is so shallow too commonly used
kinda like my heart after you were through

thats why i dont use that word
it helps me keep control
to veer away from getting burnt
too late for part of my soul

if hate is death, why didnt you die
if hate is a blade, pull it out of my side
since hate isnt real then you have no feelings
well now that youve seen, ill start revealing

you never loved me.only pleasing yourself
never meant to be. you were only looking for help

well i offered my hand and you just turned away
i asked you what you needed you said "just a day"

nothing to do with me
denying there was ever love
i know youll always know
that i was more than enough

so hate i can not use
it hurts me more than you
my status quot wont change
ill love you anyway

ill be the mountain
and you can be the wind
you know the old phrase 
cause youre trapped in familiar sin

Who

who said you could come in
i heard you knocking outside
but all i need is a friend

not a love that will change my life
not a whore to make me feel good for the night
just a friend that can make it all right

you made me feel like i was wanted again
but your feelings were only lies
somehow somewhere along the way
i lost all faith inside

was it you that showed me wrong from right
was it you that said come take my hand
you only took me a little while
then left what was left of me in the sand

i loved you
you loved him
i loved you
you lied

i love you
you love me
but that is just a lie
ill love you forever
left with only a sigh, left without goodbye

who can save me form my curse
who can set me free
you are the one that put me here
for all of eternity

i lay myself to rest for the last time
and for the first time i see you

Saying Goodbye

sayin goodbye is never easy
but its always harder when i dont know you were leaving

i never asked to be apart
only that you take my heart
"do with it as you please i say"
youve taken it with you so far away

i wish to have it back sometime
only when i become more kind
im too hard to handle what is mine
much less of that someone more divine

ive learned that saying goodbye is harder than hello
wearing concrete shoes makes it hard to go 

but i have none to give
so spare yourself and move on
the life i hoped to live
was here but now its gone

saying goodbye is terribly ill
leaving me with nothing to feel
so ill say goodbye
forever, tonight

as you leave knowing i wont be alright
no i wont be alright

Blue Eyes

the snake with blue eyes
is always tellin lies
be careful little girl what you believe

he'll con you in 
to a world full of sin
and all that you hear is deceit

cause the snake always knows 
what you wanna hear
and he'll do everything to show
that he holds you dear 

hes played this game before 
hes faced many wars 
and that devil knows just what to do 

with those words you'll be sure 
that he will always want more 
that forked tongue can forever sooth 

the snake with blue eyes 
is always tellin lies
be careful little girl what you believe 

for i know this demon all too well
the snake that i speak of is me.


o but then 

i thought the snake with blue eyes
was the one tellin lies
but nothing could be further from the truth

for the snake with green eyes 
had crept up inside 
and made all my dreams come true 

and i know how it hurts 
when that poison sinks in 
after the first time she bites

the pain is too familiar 
and blended with sin
turning all that's wrong into right

cause the snake with green eyes 
was the one tellin lies 
the snake with green eyes was you
