I’m

 I’m

You say I’m missing out on a life time of fun

But I’m practicing restraint so I don’t loose control 

It’s not that I don’t want let loose and get down

I’m just trying to my flighty mind on the ground 

Say I’m selfish say I’m so insane

Call me naive call me out my name

Say what you want 

I’m just the only one I’ve ever known

To be responsible for me

You’re quick to ridicule me and fill me with doubt 

How I’m failing everyone especially myself 

You don’t understand what seems simple to you 

Requires me to evolve quickly to get by

I’m always trying to keep it together 

No one else is doing it for me 

I’m always just about to fall apart

And no one’s there to save me

Say I’m selfish say I’m so insane

Call me naive call me out my name

Say what you want 

I’m just the only one I’ve ever known

To be responsible for me

As Crazy As

 As Crazy As

No matter how you can spin it

I’m going in circles regardless

What’s up, who’s that… coming round 

I’m down. 

Until you say I misheard it

Either way I’m feeling worthless

No way, I say… yet you say

Go play 

Do you enjoy driving me as crazy as you?

Wearing out every emotion until I’m numb

Dumb for ever getting crazy for you as you 

Are doing all you can to make me run go run

As crazy as you say I am to you

Little by little you take a way

Pieces insignificant 

Until I start missing them all

Since you came around 

I’m losing myself and you 

Love blaming me for doing it

To you I’m confused I do the same to you?

When together we’re dangerous

Then it was anyone against us

Not now, they’re safe… but not me

Crazy?

Surely not but this isn’t sound 

The bruises from the aftermath 

On you, on me… you don’t see 

What hurts. 

Do you enjoy driving me as crazy as you?

Wearing out every emotion until I’m numb

Dumb for ever getting crazy for you as you 

Are doing all you can to make me run go run

As crazy as you say I am to you

(Little by little you take away pieces)

(Insignificant until I start missing them)

(All since you came around I’m losing myself)

(And you love blaming me for doing it to you)

(I’m confused I do the same to you?)

A Throw Away

 A Throw Away

Just like the first gift you open

That you disregard and discard

So forgotten it was nearly included

In the wrapping remnants left on the floor

I find myself curdling in fetal position

On the same floor waiting to be thrown away 

Get a way, find a way, fade away

Live away, know a way, go away 

Stay away, far away, thrown away

Feeling so inconsequential

Even the refuse crew

Didn’t notice me when

I’m right here 

Just like a flower blooming just 

Before the first autumnal freeze

You don’t notice, much less appreciate it

Even though it’s right there in front of you 

It’s wasting away having wasted so much time 

A waste of potential gone and thrown away 

Get a way, find a way, fade away

Live away, know a way, go away 

Stay away, far away, thrown away

Feeling so inconsequential

Even my whole world now 

Didn’t notice me when

I’m right here 

Just like always

I’m right here

Bound to be

Thrown away. 

Anywhere But Home

 Anywhere But Home

“Please wear my jacket” I ask you in the rain

I have no clue about you apart from here and now

You exsude risk with enough abandon that a

Helmet won’t save me from my thoughts 

I feel your pull taking a hold 

Ripping me from all I know 

You can take me away so that we can

R r r ride into the dawn

No matter where when I am with you  

Don’t fear this feeling growing now just

R r r ride with my heart

Into the unknown without a care 

Tell me where exactly are you from? 

Is the open road what you call home? 

I’d like a life like that for my own…

Please take me anywhere but home!

Baby I can let go of what i know 

Live a life full before it’s gone

Experience it all but not alone 

Please just take me anywhere but home

We’re leaving the city

Thinking what I’m leaving

Failed romances, a dead end job

Gloomy weather, no direction 

Even without bad memories

It’s time that I go 

I can see you’re the way I make my great escape 

Let’s only pack just the necessities and

R r r ride out of this town

And throw restraint and fear to the wind

I don’t even want to know I will just

R r r ride to something new

With you by my side nothing matters 

Baby I can let go of what i know 

Life a live full before it’s gone

Experience it all but not alone 

Please take me anywhere but home

Take me anywhere 

Please take me anywhere

Gotta take me anywhere

Take me anywhere but home. 

Even if I journey directionlessly from now on 

I’ll ride fearlessly towards the future with you

Baby I can let go of what i know 

Live a life full before it’s gone

Experience it all but not alone 

Please just take me anywhere but home

Take me anywhere

Please take me anywhere

Gotta take me anywhere

Take me anywhere but home. 

Demure Rage

You woke up a beast in me

That I thought I killed off before

And now that it’s enraged, wide awake

You don’t know if you should go or stay

To run far away or shelter in place 

I’m willing to let anyone get away with murder

Until you some how find a way to take it too far

And now it’s crazy how my passiveness 

Is replaced by anger worse than torment eternal 

Ya really should run

Faster than sound

Far from the range 

Of my demure rage

Ya really should go

And not be found 

Far from the range 

Of my demure rage. 

I don’t know what i could do

With all this chaos erupting

No one’s safe and no one understands 

When this destructive side came to be

But in my eyes they see it’s frightening 

I’ve turned my cheek so many times now all I know is numb. 

But somewhere deep in my forgiving nature is a 

Piece of me that wants no apologies 

Only revenge that’s nothing but irrational

Ya really should run

Faster than sound

Far from the range 

Of my demure rage

Ya really should go

And not be found 

Far from the range 

Of my demure rage.
