Pinocchio's my brother

Lord my dreams are nothing without you
They're merely just thoughts in my head
Everyday I strive for them to come true
but on my own they're just dormant, dead

I get selfish, determined and stubborn
and strive to do things on my own
Try to prove that I'm worth something more
then the little girl you've known

I get up on my high horse
When one thing goes my way
"Who needs a Geppetto?"
That's child's play

I am the one who worked so hard
I am the one who did it all
I am the one who will get the glory
I am the one who cannot fall

This is when things come apart
and we ask God "Why my frail heart?"
When we've done nothing but good things
but its him who controls the strings

We are exactly how God wants us to be
and he knows of our journey
He'll let us be a real boy
As long as we give him the glory.

Pulverize Men's Sanity

Here we go again
My emotions making me love you
Taking me to places
I know could never come true

You don't love me like that
I know that too
but stupid emotions
they do what they do

I say I don't but I think 'I do'
but I can't say that
I'll lose you too

I won't say a word
I'll keep it to myself
Saying I'm fine
and nothing else

You're my friend
I'll leave it at that
not thinking about it too much
so feelings can't come back

Don't dig too deep
Remember I'm still a female
We change our last names
before its even legal

Trust me when I say
I'm not hurt
Its just a few days a month
no need for alert

If I could change one thing
it would definitely be
oh the bloody hell,
the once a month insanity

You my darling are strong

Stronger than you'll ever know

You have come so far

so never give up hope

Each beat is another step

another step to your story

that heart of yours is strong

so don't ever worry

you'll make it through today

I bet even tomorrow

so continue on this journey

but without all the sorrow

Yes you're human

but that's no excuse to fall

humans can still be strong,

proud, and stand up tall

because you, my darling

are the strongest of them all

 



Black Roses

Bleeding from the thorns
Look at the scars on her arms
A mask covering her darkness
Covering her emotions
Known for beauty but you wont find that anymore

Ruthless for death
Oh Lucifer give it a rest
She already has a blackened heart
Eventually its beat won't start
She crumbles into dust when she's held
            under your enticing spell!

Just a Dream

Look at her when she distracted
Watch her lips move as she talks
Every crack in them reminds you
Of times she made your heart stop
As they oh so gently put on a smile
And your eyes look into hers
Past the scars and insecurities
With the desire to become a part of her
Gently touching her face
Pulling her closer, holding her waist
Listening to her heart beat out of her chest
Because she's forgetting how to breathe
You fall in love with everything about her
Then she wakes up and realizes
That can only be a dream.

This Is Home

Stars are brighter
People are nicer
Trucks are dirtier
Life is better

Trains are louder
Work is harder
Neighbors are closer
Dinner is blessed

Words are stronger
Life is simple
Town is quieter
Roads are bent

Yes ma'am is often
Yes sir is respect
Doors are always open
And they don't ever forget

A hand over their heart
A cap on their chest
To the Stars and Stripes
And dog tags are left

Close to their heart
So where ever they go
They will know
This is home

Tears

I've seen those tears before 

I've heard those cries

Those very same tears had fallen from my eyes  

I know that feeling 

The sound of a heart breaking 

I wish that pain I had already taken 

I hate to see that same pain reoccurring 

in a life with hope and much promising 

My life was a wreck and I hated myself 

And I would never wish that upon anyone else 

What I would do to take that pain, 

And send it back to where it came 

From hell itself, the devil I despise

He comes to destroy, and fill you with lies  

Don't let him get to you my dear 

Get your word and stand right here 

And declare that you have no fear

Because the Lord holds your every tear
