call me crazy
see if I care
comment on my make up
or what I choose to wear
it doesn't phase me anymore
you can say what you want but
the only one who cares what you're saying
is you.
you think it matters
to me what you think?
but I decide for myself,
and before you can blink
I'll choose some new and outlandish
thing, just to elicit a response
from you.
I think at this point
it's just amusing
to watch you wriggle
and snaggle at my choosing
its like you just don't get it
so I'll just keep saying
call me crazy...see if I care.

curiosity kills.
I die slowly...a tortured soul
stuck with no release
I search deperately for a hole
I search myself for peace
Who would have known that by knowing
one would come to know nothing at all?
And who would've thought that by helping you stand
I'd set myself up for a fall.
But now I'm here
ensnared by my diligence
caught by my ignorance
and chalking one up
to my willful perseverance
I die.

But now I'm here

Desperate Plea
This is a song I wrote over the summer...hope to have a video of it on youtube soon. But here are the lyrics for now.
Desperate Plea
Father I come
And ask You for a vision
A glimpse of Your will for my life
All that I desire
Is what You have in store
God, I want to hear You once more
So I lift my heart, my hands, my ears
And I humbly ask for You
To pour out Your spirit
onto me, Lord fill me up
I'm broken and waiting for You
With all I have within me
Oh, I'm crying out to you
Take my will from me
and give me Yours
I've tried so many
Times to do it my way
Strayed off your path for my own
But You've brought me back
with mercy and compassion
to where You wanted me all along
So I lift my heart, my hands, my ears
And I humbly ask for You
To pour out Your spirit
onto me, Lord fill me up
I'm broken and waiting for You
With all I have within me
Oh, I'm crying out to you
Take my will from me
and give me Yours
I just want to hear
Your voice
Even when You speak without making a sound
I don't want to let
Your words
Just fall silently to the ground
Desperate Plea
Father I come
And ask You for a vision
A glimpse of Your will for my life
All that I desire
Is what You have in store
God, I want to hear You once more
So I lift my heart, my hands, my ears
And I humbly ask for You
To pour out Your spirit
onto me, Lord fill me up
I'm broken and waiting for You
With all I have within me
Oh, I'm crying out to you
Take my will from me
and give me Yours
I've tried so many
Times to do it my way
Strayed off your path for my own
But You've brought me back
with mercy and compassion
to where You wanted me all along
So I lift my heart, my hands, my ears
And I humbly ask for You
To pour out Your spirit
onto me, Lord fill me up
I'm broken and waiting for You
With all I have within me
Oh, I'm crying out to you
Take my will from me
and give me Yours
I just want to hear
Your voice
Even when You speak without making a sound
I don't want to let
Your words
Just fall silently to the ground
if the world ends
if the world ends
and we're still just friends
then that will be enough
but it's still turning
and I'm wondering
if there could be time for for love
and we're still just friends
then that will be enough
but it's still turning
and I'm wondering
if there could be time for for love

{lyrically correct II}
Really...it's not the end of the world. Please just move on...because I already have.
Part Of It
by Relient K
I've been working with adhesives
Chains and locks and ropes with knots to tether
But nothing's taking to the pieces
I can't seem to hold it all together
But you should know
Cause that explains why it all just fell apart
It's not the end of the world
Just you and me
And we're a part of it
Everyone
We're a part of it
Everything
And if a nightmare ever does unfold
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold
Well I've been trying to ingest this
But everything to me just seems like nonsense
And I'm not sure if I can get it
I guess its time for me to grow a conscience
To combat the lapse
That explains why all of this simply collapsed
It's been forever since I've gone
But I'm the Cusack on the lawn of your heart
May be forever 'til I go
But before then you should know that I could tear that place apart
And I swear this to you
I wish that this was not the truth
But it's something that you fell into
And crawling out is hard when you
Are not so sure it's what you want to do
Not convinced it's what you want to do
It's just the weight of the world
Giving out under the string
But we're a part of it
Everyone
We're a part of it
Everything
And when a nightmare finally does unfold
A nightmare finally shows
It's not the end of the world
Just a calamity
And we're a part of it
Everyone
We're a part of it
Everything
And when a nightmare finally does unfold
Perspective is a lovely hand to hold

all for love
In the name of love stones have been thrown
walls torn down and planes been flown
into buildings tall
and mighty once
now in ruins
all for love
In the name of love families have been
built up, broken down into shards again
shards of what
they ceased to be
when they were
all for love
In the name of love many have died
and one, the perfect sacrifice
to wash away
my sins and yours
and bleed and die
all for love
walls torn down and planes been flown
into buildings tall
and mighty once
now in ruins
all for love
In the name of love families have been
built up, broken down into shards again
shards of what
they ceased to be
when they were
all for love
In the name of love many have died
and one, the perfect sacrifice
to wash away
my sins and yours
and bleed and die
all for love
(un)willingly
ah, the clarity that comes from looking back
discarding memories that once brought joy
and now remind of what I lack
but lack so willingly
not wanting to bring you more pain
I keep my distance, try to stay
away, but feel that it is vain
in vain unwillingly
you try to cleverly disguise
your attempts to retake my life
in kind, oily words you sneak
sneak so willingly
I try to gently, push you, guide you
back to your side of this fence
the fence that both protects and traps you
traps so unwillingly
if I could somehow make this easier
mend your heart or soul or simply
erase this dark spot forever
I'd erase so willingly
discarding memories that once brought joy
and now remind of what I lack
but lack so willingly
not wanting to bring you more pain
I keep my distance, try to stay
away, but feel that it is vain
in vain unwillingly
you try to cleverly disguise
your attempts to retake my life
in kind, oily words you sneak
sneak so willingly
I try to gently, push you, guide you
back to your side of this fence
the fence that both protects and traps you
traps so unwillingly
if I could somehow make this easier
mend your heart or soul or simply
erase this dark spot forever
I'd erase so willingly
