Temper

Peace of mind
Is go is going
Float away to the great unknown
Will I ever remember
Will the pieces stop
Flying away from me
There's a poet at the bar
And he's pouring a new poem
A bartender in the garden
Concocting a new poem
Into glasses you could see through
Ice cube rattle chink and peek through
Does it matter what he writes
Does it matter what is beautiful
Every day
Getting away
I lessen
I'm so small
That soon
You won't see me at all
I can't recall
The things
I've forgotten
You say I'm strong
But I feel it get away from me

Sweet Uses
06:04

Is this
The life and death of me
Or is this
The width and breadth of you
Should I stop
Should I go
Sweet are the uses
Of adversity
Are the days
The roses grow
Is this
The chance I cannot chance
Or is this
The dance I cannot dance
Should I pass
Should I prance
Sweet are the uses
Of adversity
Are the days
The roses grow
Giving you strength
And hope
A look down the road
I've played
And I've learned to dance
I'll show you
As much as I can
I'll show you
Sweet are the uses
Of adversity
Are the days
The roses grow
Giving you strength
And hope
A look down the road

Devil In The Tree
02:21
|

There’s a devil in the tree
Outside
He gets the better of me
‘Cause he lies
A little voice inside
Chastise
He never lets me be free
Not even sometimes
He lies, he lies
Need to turn a deaf ear
Close eyes
Head of second guessing
Doubting
Leave the devil in the tree
Behind
Nothing up there but leaves
All of the time
He lies, he lies
Need to run to stand still
These days
Need to shout to be heard
“Do you hear me?”
Leave the devil in the tree
Behind
Nothing up there but leaves
All of the time
He lies, he lies...

Stars at night
They light the sky
And they brighten the night
So I can sigh
Over your countenance so young
And fly with me
In your dreams
You slumber
Fast and deep
The moon's a bulb
It's the sunshine of the nighttime
Parting blinds
So bright
Makes the birds sing
The sun don't compare
Tonight, it's lost the battle
On nights like this
You twist
You turn
Awaken to your dreams
Soon the wind will blow
The dew
Will lace itself into your shoes
Your scarf will flap
A wave to school
Your cold hands were in mine
Mine were warm around yours
The moon's a bulb
It's the sunshine of the nighttime
Parting blinds
So bright
Makes the birds sing
The sun don't compare
Tonight, it's lost the battle
On nights like this
You twist
You turn
Awaken to your dreams
Stars at night...

The Reward
03:17
|

Sometimes I'm so tired
Beyond the point of sleep
Used up to my elbows
By dishes, dirty laundry
There's a place I'm going to
It's a hole beside the sea
It's filled with nothing
It's just a place
Where I can get some sleep
And I feel the sun
Go down behind my back
When nighttime comes
Sometimes I get my life back
But sleep eludes you
Just when it
Comes to visit me
I'm dreaming dreams of you
As you play around me
Didn't I explain
The story of the weed
It's just a plant in the wrong place
At times we all are weeds
You say you want to be popular
A bright and shining star
When things are that way
You never know
Who your true friends are
And I feel the sun
Go down behind my back
When nighttime comes
Sometimes I get my life back
But sleep eludes you
Just when it
Comes to visit me
I'm dreaming dreams of you
As you play around me
You're feeling the line
Everywhere you go go
Feeling the line
Everywhere you say so
Feeling the line
Everywhere you go go
Feeling the line
Everywhere you say so

Slip In The Snow

Cards on the table
Suited up and ready
Smokin’ and jiving
Just dying to be aliving
We know one another
Deep down through toes knowing
Shoe shined
Toes glowing
Back down and through
I know
What you’re thinking
This song is a metaphor
For what?
Nothing’s hidden
I am willing
I’ve had a fall
The same as you
The stakes were high
So high they were few
I’m sitting here
Too full of apathy
To take a stand
The same as you
I know
What you’re thinking
This song is a metaphor
For what?
Nothing’s hidden
I am willing
Why you fall away?
We’ll share a bone at this rained upon
Stained upon
Table
And come to a certain understanding
I know
What you’re thinking
This song is a metaphor
For what?
Nothing’s hidden
I am willing
Why you fall away?

What I would like would be
To see the sun and the rain
Going at the same time
I would like to see the moon meet the day
Bring morning to the night
To be the love of your life
The light in your eye
Instead of drawing a fight
Draw you to me
Be the love of your life
The light in your eye
Instead of drawing a fight
Draw you to me
What I would like
What I
What I would like
What I would like
What I would like is a space
Bright and clean yet dark
So I can switch on a light
And you can walk by
And see that I am home
And I would like to have one of those nights
That we used to have
When you walk by
And see that I am home
That's what I would like
What I would like
What I would like
What I would like
What I
What I would like
What I
What I would like
What I would like is a space
Bright and clean yet dark
So you can walk by
When I switch on that light
You can see that I'm home
You can walk by
What I
What I would like
What I
What I would like
To melt in your arms
And you'll understand
When I walk away
That you'll come again
To melt in your arms
And you'll understand
When I walk away
That you'll come again
To melt in your arms

As long as you have
Money in your pocket
You'll never be lonely
As long as you have
A gun in your holster
The world is your oyster
As long as you have
A car in your driveway
You'll always be free
As long as you have
And I'm the company girl
I travel the world on your ticket
For me
It's got to be free
And when I get there
I piss off your shores
And step on your fingers and toes
Ask anybody who knows
I am that girl
I am the company girl
The company girl
I once
Was a girl
I was invisible
But I grew
Up to be
The hero
Of my company
And I'm the company girl
I travel the world on your ticket
For me
It's got to be free
And when I get there
I piss off your shores
And step on your fingers and toes
Ask anybody who knows
I am that girl
I am the company girl
The company girl
I am
Invincible
Was once
Invisible
But I
Came to be
The savior of my company

Friday night was at a movie
Then went out to catch a band
By night's end I heard you calling
Need to see you 'fore I set off to bed
I know you're waiting there for me
Exactly in the place I left you
I cannot wait until I get back to you
You're a passion and a mystery
Car wheels spinning all around you
Spinning 'round above the ground to you
Makes no difference where you are
I will find you in my car
Is this a vice or is this a virtue?
Is this good for me or bad?
Am I missing out on Something?
Is this good for me or bad?
