are you watchin the clouds?
are ya watchin the skies?
see a bird fly in grace
hello human

yeah, that's you.
hello human
are you ready to leave?
seems so early to me
never again
will you be breathing
a simple mistake
leaves you rotting

Jeremy's Song of Hope
03:47
|

keep tellin yourself you'll meet someone
keep saying one day you'll know
someone so well
that they'd want to know you more
keep tellin' yourself that you'll find someone
who wants to be in a room
with you
more than their own
keep tellin yourself there is someone out there
with care
to give for you
and your worries
keep sayin to yourself that that day
it's gonna come
cause when it does
it'll be great!
and, on that day,
there will be butterflies all around you
and, on that night,
there will be shining lights
and, on the next morn,
there will be hope in the air.
atleast i think there will be....
until then i'll wait
i'll wait some more.
until then i'll lay
my head on the floor
until then i'll just
fry my brain a bit more
(the stars look brighter tonight than they have before)
until then, i'll wait
i dont want to wait anymore.
(the ocean looks bigger tonight than it has before)
i don't wanna wait anymore.

I Have a Map

i think i made a mistake
i think you're pullin me on a line
i think about it a lot.
i'm mining away in a valley
so vast and so clear but
there's never been any gold here
and i would be yours in an instant
if you'd ever pay any attention
and i would be yours in an instant
if you'd ever hold on (:
and i have a map
in my hands
will you help me draw the lines?
and i have a heart
in my sleeve, so tightly wound
will you help me shake it out?
get it out
and i would be yours in an instant
if you'd ever paid any attention
and i would be yours in an instant
if you'd ever respond
please respond
please respond (:
yeah, that's alright
i'll just keep looking
in all the wrong places
yeah that's alright
i'll just keep tellin' myself
i think i found it
i have a map!

Chaind

the word hate
spoken so strongly
like i have something to fear
how did you know i was afraid?
i know if i just make the journey
you'd respond in gratification
my feet are chained to the bed
and the keys are jammed away in a tower in my head
"no more dreams for you"
the dragon says
"no more dreams for you"
how can i be admirable
if i can't even pick up the phone?
how can i be welcome
if i have nowhere i call my home?
i can't even compose a text
just to let ya know
i'm not dead
and, oh, for the good times i've wept
my feet chained to the bed

...Never End...
04:29
|
|||
|
have no ground to stand on
the sea grows closer
everyday your brain says
"i hate you so"
you fear that this will never end
you're locked inside your own head
with no escape
you climb the gates
jump the moat
a labyrinth only awaits
you weren't born like this
you were made to feel this way

The Fool
04:10
|

|
lie around in the dark
i don't want to live in this world anymore
i don't want to be here no more.
you fool,
so you think that you can just give up?
tell your brain to shut up.
"shut up. shut up"
i don't want to hear these thoughts anymore
i don't want to hear those thoughts no more
you were born here
now you're stuck here, that's a fact
and when you leave here
you won't come back (good)
turn the light on
stand up
put some clothes on
get up
i don't wanna hear you say those things anymore
how dare you say those things!
the world is full of people waiting to meet you!
you should know better than to think that anyone here would hate you!
the world is full of people waiting to meet you!
you fool,
so you think that you can just give up?
you fool!
so you think that you can tell your mind to shut up
shut up! shut up! shut up!
you fool!
so you think that you will never get up?
get up!
you fool!
so you think that you're not strong?
you are a bright star!
and the world is full of people waiting to meet you!
bright star!
a bright star! that's you!
everyone is waiting to love you!
so, i just need ya to know,
the world is full of people waiting to meet you!

No Dust Bunnies
03:17

keep it clean for grandma
no dust bunnies
every speck you leave
will need to eat
so let it free before it
gets too big
no dust foxes
an empty box
you made a nest
if only you were small enough
to fit in it
no dust birds
a garden above
an unmade bed
how will the flowers know
what time it is?
no dust deer
lather and rinse
soap and scrub
i'll do it until
the stench is gone
no dust pigs
and all the memories
they can stay with me
but if you let them rule
you'll become a fool.
no dust cats!
no dust bunnies
no dust foxes
no dust birds
no dust deer
no dust pigs
no dust cats
no dust bunnies

god give me grace to succeed
cause my heart is in my boots
my boots are filled with sand
keeping me from moving off the land
into the water
and you are like a river
crashing through the land and
paving your own way through the grass
splashing splashing all over my new pants
i bought for you to see me in
well hope is the most dangerous thing
i think i'll slip in
oh, i think i'll walk in the quicksand
maybe i'm a fool
maybe i have no clue
what i'm doing?
so why are you chasing so hard?
i have no idea what you find so exciting!
inviting you here to explain...
and if you leave now i will walk away
slightly less but a little bit more
frankly i don't want you to walk away
but i could never tell you to your face
so i am doomed
to sit and wait
don't you know that hope
is the most dangerous thing?
you might just slip in again.

i'll run away with my stuffed animals
we'll live like kings
lying in a shallow grave
how will they taste?
the new worldly pleasures
of a blossoming mind
what will i find?
tastes like
chemicals.
yeah i'm ashamed.
i am weak.
do you ever think
what you'd be like
if your potential was reached
and realized?
oh, these thoughts help no one but still i often wonder
would I be stronger
if i had a father?
oh, these thoughts help no one but still i often wonder
would i be nicer
with a loving mother?
oh, these thoughts help no one, i know, but i can't
sleep
oh the days i spend
in my head
what does it take?
what does it mean?
oh, the pain?
I know what that means:
"I'm not normal, I'm not functioning."
