Monster

In a way our lives are entwined
But it keeps getting caught within our own net of misery
Their lives fade and start to dim
It makes it hard, so we can’t see
Making us forget what we truly are
But then the wind answers me…
Monsters.

What’s that I hear?
I hear a voice
I hear a whisper
A voice that mumbled something
Something like…
Monsters

Somehow I’m sure an ocean’s breeze will calm the storm
But only that and nothing more
Walking through the bloodstained halls –
Pushing through these crimson doors
And all I hear is the voice grows louder
It grows angrier
Shaking fear through my bones
And it shouts to me
Monster!

Blinded by the darkness
Confused by the rain
Frightened by the voice
The moaning voice returns again
Monster

Mustering the courage
I clench my fist
And bare my teeth
I shout to the invisible voice
“I may be a monster
That I know
But the very least
I have things to show.
The conquest
The horror
I’ve seen it all
At least I’ve been there
Through it all.”
But I’m a monster.

Do You Catch Your Breath When I Look At You?

Let me be the one
To make it all right
To count the stars tonight
Let me be the one
To share all your smiles and tears
To take away all your fears
Oh please –
Let me be the one

Cause I can tell by the look in your eyes
Just come here and let me blow your mind
But go ahead
Take your sweet, sweet time
Don’t worry, when you finally decide
I'll still be here
No envy or fear
Just waiting by your side

Give me a chance
Because I want to believe
That miracles
Arise from impossibilities

The Stranger

I watched that fateful day
Where you descended from the sky
Onto Earth, but yet so far away
I watched you – with wondering eyes

I saw the sky grow weary
It seemed ready to cry
It cried a curtain around me
And I stood there – for I was dry.

You walked towards me in the pouring rain
I reached out to your hand with sigh
At the border of tears and pain
I took your hand into mine

You were but a stranger to me
Yet I pulled you close, ‘til the rain passed by
The rain and tears kept going steadily
But here we still kept dry.

Careless Dreamer

I’ve been told that I’m a dreamer
One who believes in magic and wonders
The white hills, blue trees, and green skies
How these coffee-stained pages lie
And yet I still believe
For I’d rather be naïve
For I’d rather be
A careless dreamer

I'll Tell the DJ

[Melody]
I'll tell the DJ
To play a love song for you
And in the lyrics
You'll find the answers too
The ones – that you are looking for
Cause just when you think it’s all good
Things don’t happen as they should

They say it’s over
This thing between me and you
They say it’s finished
But I just need to – hold my breath
I don't want this night to end
All I really want – is to be your friend
The moon will fade away into the day
And here I’m just gonna to pray
I just want you to stay
But I will… tell the DJ
To play a love song for you
So that someday you’ll be able to
Find somebody made for you
Somebody who’ll say I do

[Rap]
I need a chance to explain
With some chocolate or bouquet
I’ve been too stressed lately
And I don’t really feel the same
But believe me when I say
That I’m going to change
I’ll leave this game
If girl you’ll take my name
Cause if we were a story book
We’d have a prequel
To the picture perfect story
And even a fucking sequel
Girl but you don’t hear me
So all I gotta say is this
Just this

You can keep the necklace
We wouldn’t want it to waste
Like your love or the flowers
That we grew together
You can burn the notes I gave to you
I’ll keep the scars and tattoos
This isn’t something brand new
Yeah, I’ll just add you to
The long list of I love you’s
Down my arms to my wrist
Girl I told you I’d miss
You but you don’t believe me
So that’s the end of our story
Just go and be happy
Without me

Lately It's All About You

I seldom wish for things to fade
But I make this wish today
To rid me of the dreams of you
And memories of what we've been through.

Goodbye to Hello

I feel...crummy. I don't know why, I guess just everything is sinking in too fast for me. I'm leaving my home to go to another city all on my own. That might sound like sissy whining, but to be honest, I didn't leave home much as a kid. My parents lost a child through a miscarriage before me, so once I was born I was pretty much always in their sights. I'm independent to the extent that I can be. I just won't get used to how loud the outside world is. But I'm so ready for university.

Oh but here's the kicker.

I'm going to the same university as my ex.

Not smart. To this day I still wonder what was going on through my mind when I clicked accept. I mean I had so many other options. So many better options, but I guess I just didn't want to stay home.

Then again, this university has been my dream place since grade 11. Wait. I guess that doesn't help my case. I meant grade 11 way before I met her.

We see each other now and don't say anything to each other. Just awkward smiles and wave. She says it's cause she doesn't notice. I guess I'm pretty unnoticeable.

Wow I feel like shit. I just can't wait til this feeling finally washes over. Cheers.

VERSE 1:
You say I only hear what I want to
Tell me that I only really need you
But please don’t go and change my mind
I’ll hold your hand, this one last time
I’m holding on but let’s just say goodbye
[But baby please just one last try]

VERSE 2:
[I see you come and go
To say goodbye to hello]
As you walk down this aisle with a halo~
Don’t say you won’t find someone like me
When you’re walking beside someone from your team
Though you always said that I was too easy
Cause after all it’s still hard to breathe
Don’t say that I’m better off without you
After everything that we’ve been through
I still see it, still believe it

CHORUS:
One – last – time
I’m saying goodbye
[I’m saying, I’m saying]
Goodbye to hello, Goodbye to hello, Goodbye to hello

VERSE 3:
I slow my footsteps as I hear you speak
Wondering if you still have everything you took from me
I walk behind you but I turn left and take a seat
Cause your gaze is the one I’m afraid to meet
You stand beside him before a priest
As you tell lies right through your teeth [I’ll always love you]
Telling him you love him to put his mind at ease
As he puts a ring that freaking gleams
Cause that’s exactly what you did to me
I still see it, can’t believe it!

CHORUS:
One – last – time
I’m saying goodbye
[I’m saying, I’m saying]
Goodbye to hello, Goodbye to hello, Goodbye to hello
One – last – time
I’m saying goodbye
[I’m saying, I’m saying]
Goodbye to hello, Goodbye to hello, Goodbye to hello

How Can I Forget

Song used for effect: Love Drunk – Boys like Girls [in italics, quotations and/or square brackets]

“Top down in the summer sun
The day we met was like a hit and run
And I still taste it on my tongue”

Sometime I still remember
We’re no longer together
And memories of our first kiss
Slowly drifts into my mind

“The sky was burning up like fireworks
You made me want you, oh, so bad it hurt
But girl, in case you haven't heard”

Sometime I still remember
The times when we’re together
And I thought the love that we shared
Would last forever

“Hot sweat and blurry eyes
We're spinning on a roller coaster ride
The world stuck in black and white”

But what can I say
I’m just a kid today
How can I wake –
From this dream
Of you.
Something I can’t do –

“You drove me crazy every time we touched
Now I'm so broken that I can't get up
Oh girl, you make me such a lush”

I turned around to look at you [All the time I wasted on you]
After playing with your calculator [All the bullshit you put me through]
As you did your calculus [I'm checking into rehab 'cause everything that we had]
To find you looking at me [Didn't mean a thing to you~]
Expectantly
And I didn’t know what to do [I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hung over]
Then it happened [I love you forever, but now I'm sober]
I kissed you
My eyes opened in shock, [I used to be love drunk, but now I'm hung over]
Confused [I love you forever, forever is over]
As to [We used to kiss all night, now it's just a bar fight]
How I found [So don't call me crying, say hello then goodbye]
Someone like you. [Oh yeah!]

So much trouble sleeping at night
I’m starting to grow weary
And tired of this fight
That I keep putting up
To keep my mind right
But when the end is near
It’s the end of my sight.

"Cause I used to be love drunk...but now I'm hung over
I love you forever...but now I'm sober."

Lately I Keep Dreaming of You

Was everything make-believe
The truth that I didn’t see
I wish we could play pretend
And not have things to end.

Just like before
When it was you and me
I didn’t have to walk out this door
Alone, going crazy –

Can we play pretend
That things don’t have to end
And it’s you and me
Cause baby,
I miss you so much.
