The Bridge

There´s this bridge I´ve got to cross I feel alone. A child down to each side and I can´t carry both. The bridge is long we could fall down through holes, water all around; wind, wet and cold. One child insecure displays the confidence he doesn´t own, another child, uncertain, looks around and cries for home. My bridge is too unstable and the insecurity is letting go. There´s no holding to a crumbling bridge. When all the time is gone in between it tumbles. Time to move along... I toss and turn over and over, trying to dream out anxiety, easy answers to my problems. Keeping a grip on sanity until the sun comes up and my mind´s fresh and clean.

Clean

i'd like to hide away somewhere without light somewhere dark and warm
no given chance to lose without a care in my head i could sleep right through
i gave it all  away today those empty stares won't be from me there's not
much to look forward to just as long as i can't remember took a shower today
couldn't feel the water hit my face pinched the skin on my arm and i couldn't
feel pain i guess my wish came true so now may i not lose

Sympathy

I wish I could be a part of your sadness. I wish I could cry for you. I hate to think of what you are going through...but, I´ve never known, I can´t even sympathize. I can´t even sympathize, I can´t even sympathize... As I imitate your mood I feel so callous, so hard inside. Because my eyes are dry, I can´t even sympathize. I just hope that it will be OK along the way.

Well

i'm standing on the edge looking in thinking so hard my head caves in
i'd like to throw a coin in the wishing well only time will tell if my wish
comes true wishing for the rain to come for it to flood and i'll be done
wishing you back here again alone again

back
 

You looking at me

You´ve got it all between your fingers. What you want you just can´t grab. You want it, all...What you want you just can´t have. Sand sifts through, with my disgust. And with my sympathy, chains lay in rust. You want someone to hold you together. But you´re way too "strong", you´re way too proud. You want someone to be around. What you want, you need gone. It´s old, it´s dirty, it´s cold outside, it´s loneley, it´s ugly, it´s all around.

i always have to hear from someone else all your stupid lies come on now and
look at me you'll see i'm okay it's story time now time for you to show your
shallow exhistance it doesn't add up too much your junior insecurity now i

Where d'ya go

seems like the further i get from here things come on time
seems like the closer i get to home i'm way out of time i think about where
to go it's always i don't know every time i think there is someone no one has
shown where d'ya go i heard a voice in the dark and i knew it was you

Home Sweet Home

In separate rooms, I hear them screaming through the walls. I´m locked away, home sweet home. Listening to the vicious things they say. You hate yourselves, home sweet home. You hate your children because they act so much like you. You hate each other too. There´s too much love for me in this house.  Let me go, home sweet home. There´s too much love for me in this house. Leave me out, home sweet home.

Great...

you reel me in from a real long leash pulling me in just to tell me
a speach i don't like the looks of that do you like the looks of that i gave
it all i had you pull my head all over this town i get the feeling that i'm
about to drown visions of you are just like me maybe that's the way you want
me to be maybe we are too much alike or maybe not enough but some good times
we've had

back
 

Head trap

have you ever tried to get away when every move you make is
restrained trying to balance what you want with what's expected of you can't
overlook the consequences due to your new circumstances my thoughts are mine
to a point til i feel inclined to be you wouldn't you like to be alone
wouldn't you rather stay at home wouldn't it be nice to wake up free without
any sense of responsibility do you ever get tired of the same old place and
seeing that same old face you need to find some place to go and leave your
whereabouts unknown

back
 

Conditions

if i could be anywhere and feel at home and be without anyone
without feeling alone and do anything knowing it's all right i'll keep
you in mind don't want to spend my time looking ahead or back it keeps
me busy just wondering where the hell i'm at i don't want to talk  because
i don't want to argue it'll just confuse me anyway i've got my reasons for
not being understanding and saying all the fucked up things i say i've been
holding back the motion in my mimd for so long i can't always tell when
something has gone wrong if things get simple now i'd probably lose my mind
little girl you're so afraid no matter what i say you don't believe me

Ten feet tall

are you there you have so much to say am i so small do i make
you feel that way ten feet tall and so upset won't anybody listen while you
condescend if you can get a hold squeeze tight but i still might slip away
something is missing

back
 

Slumbering

day dreams on the cieling ridges in my memories resting for the
evening to warm to freeze give me a reason why should i doubt something that
comes so easy it's better than being down and out free from the grind and
breathing in it's so easy to drift away
