I fell asleep last night and dreamed about lying in your arms
I dreamed about your lips and eyes
And the softest kisses of my life
I dreamed about your heart, beating against mine
In my dreams I felt so safe in your arms
As if I could never be hurt
…Then I woke up and was alone
Now I wait for tonight
When I’ll see you…in my dreams

Throwing in the Towel

She closes her eyes
To shut out the world
Tears slip from beneath her lids
They travel slowly down her cheeks
And she makes no effort to wipe them away
She throws back her head
And screams, ‘I give up’
She’s giving up on love…
(One too many heartbreaks)
She’s giving up on people…
(Been screwed on too many times)
She’s giving up on caring…
(It’s too damn easy to get hurt)
But, most of all,
She’s giving up on herself…
(No one else gives a damn
So why should she?)

TODAY

Today is the same as any other day
Grown-ups are ducking and children are afraid to play

Bullets are coming
From left and right
Families huddle
Nice and tight
You feel like a prisoner
In your own house
The criminals are cats
And you’re the mouse
As the shooting goes on
You yell and scream
You’re in the middle
Of a nightmare dream
After it ends
Someone is asleep
In an eternal slumber
Six feet deep
Maybe tomorrow
Will be a different day
I hope, I wish
I think, I pray

Abandoned, forgotten, left all alone, crying
Your body’s all right, but inside you’re dying
You’re question is how, how could this be?
The answer is life and its cruelty
It plays with your mind, it makes you insane
You feel nothing and the world is to blame
Pain holds the lock and you hold the key
You’re damned to Hell, that’s your reality
You feel like a rat trapped in a maze
You go through life locked in a daze
Your hopes and dreams no longer exist
You wish someone would end all of this
Your torture, your suffering, your lust for death
You wish you would finally breathe your last breath
Suffer no more, the end is near
The words that you’ve so longed to here
Into the pits of Hell, you’ll be consumed
Now follow the reaper to your doom
