The Girl in the Swivel Dress
A look was all it took
Before I opened the book
A glimpse of something more
Led me to walk through this door
Her eyes brought life to mine
A Life I’d struggled to find
Who knew my world would be such a mess
Without the girl in the swivel dress
In our hands we held the sun, the stars, the moon
But like most dreams, morning came too soon
This chapter was too brief
When did time become a thief?
Somewhere along the way
Author had no more to say
Some words were left unsaid
Guess some things weren’t meant to be read
Who knew my world would be such a mess
Without the girl in the swivel dress
In our hands we held the sun, the stars, the moon
But like most dreams, morning came too soon
Who knew my world would be such a mess
Without the girl in the swivel dress
In our hands we held the sun, the stars, the moon
But like most dreams, mourning came too soon

Perfectly Flawed
She feels safe
In control
But she’s too far gone
She’s lost her soul
Discipline
Draws her in
It sure feels good
To be Nice and thin
But…
Can’t you see?
You’re killing me
No, nobody’s perfect
And that’s okay
Nobody’s perfect
We are perfectly flawed
She hides away
In her shell
She’s never free
From this hell
Please look up
You will see
We are here
To set you free
It is true
You’re killing you
No, nobody’s perfect
And that’s okay
Nobody’s perfect
You are perfectly flawed
It is true
You’re killing you
No, nobody’s perfect
And that’s okay
Can’t you see?
You’re kill… you’re killing me
No, nobody’s perfect
And that’s okay
Nobody’s perfect
Nobody’s perfect
Nobody’s perfect
We are perfectly flawed

Show Me the Way Home

Show Me the Way Home
Been said a thousand times before
But please wait, don’t close the door
Hear my words, my song, my heart
I won’t wait ‘til we’re apart
To tell you that I’ve missed none more
Your absence I cannot ignore
I’ve lost my way, I can’t come home
Without your light, I simply roam…
These torn streets alone
Can’t go on through this on my own
Please come back now, fly next to me
Sing, oh songbird, sing for me
I am lost without you
Show me the way home
Like birds, we flew into the night
Our eyes together saw the light
Life had never been so clear
Alongside you, I had no fear
My bliss would be to hold the pen
Rewrite our fate, avoid the end
When time stood still, we were at home
I do not wish to simply roam…
These torn streets alone
Can’t go on through this on my own
Please come back now, fly next to me
Sing, oh songbird, sing for me
Sing for us
I am lost without you
Show me the way home

Hole in my Shoe

Hole in My Shoe
There’s a hole in my shoe
Because I’ve walked a thousand miles for you
For weeks you’ve made me beg
Limping on a broken leg
I want to put this hurt to bed
But it won’t sleep, no, it won’t sleep
Try to heal these wounds in my head
But they’re too deep, yes, they’re too deep
Drowning in this misery
That I can’t keep, but I must keep
I’ll lose my breath at the bottom of the sea
I’ll die before this memory
This pilgrim has grown tired
The fire in my soul seems expired
My passion still burns for you
But there’s a hole in my shoe
And I can’t walk no more
I want to put this hurt to bed
But it won’t sleep, no, it won’t sleep
Try to heal these wounds in my head
But they’re too deep, yes, they’re too deep
Drowning in this misery
That I can’t keep, no, I can’t keep
I’ll lose my breath at the bottom of the sea
I’ll die before this memory
It’s time to put this hurt to bed
Just go to sleep, please go to sleep
Time to heal these wounds in my head
They’re not so deep, they’re not so deep
Flying free from this misery
That I can’t keep, no, I won’t keep
Regain my breath, rise from the sea
I’ll live
Yes, I’ll live
I’ll live despite this memory
