Darling, Sweetie

So, tell me, darling,
what did those nights mean to you?
Who is it that you have
fallen for?
Is it me?
So many questions, dear,
with no answers
coming from your sweet lips.
What words are you
hiding under your tongue?
Are there three?
Maybe five?
Can't you even say you're sorry?
Or could it just be the opposite?
We've had our share of ups and downs,
and so that makes me
fucking hate you.
All the while, I just can't say it,
how my heart breaks more and more
everytime I see your pretty face.
Do you miss me, baby?
Why don't you come here
and say it to my face?

<3

I can't find the words to say, but they're so overdue. I've traveled half the world to say I belong to you. <3

Your eyes, they flow from all the pain I caused. I lost my cause, I only broke your heart. Alone, I cry, I tried so hard to break you. I love you, I hate you. Why won't you let me go?

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

She's My All

I hate everything about you.
I hated when you used to say, "I love you."
I hate the memories of our eyes locked on eachother.
I hate how you'd smile.
I hate who we were.
I hate that I thought I loved you,
I hate that I probably still do.

You're all probably wondering who I am talking about,
but the truth is,
I don't even know who she is anymore.

D, I don't miss you.
But for some odd reason,
everything reminds me of you.
And I really wish it didn't.

Because I'm happier now.
I found a new love.
I need her, like I needed you.
And you shut me out, tore me down.
You didn't even second guess it.
You killed me, took away who I was.
And now, I need to move on.
Because I love her now,
and not you.
I love her.
Not you.
You're nothing to me anymore.
Please, just stay out of my life.

-Kayla

Stay Beautiful

I'm sorry I lost my best friend.
I'm sorry I'm such an idiot.
I'm sorry you won't even look at me.
I'm sorry I ever loved you like I do.
I'm sorry I let you down.
I'm sorry I'm such a disgrace.
I'm sorry I let myself do this.
I'm sorry.
...........
I'm sorry you left,
and I'm sorry I'm letting you go.

-Kayla

Sick Bastard

Unfortunatley, I'm here to say goodbye.

Unfortunatley, love is blind.
I didn't see your ugly side.
I learned the hard way,
I put up with you because
I thought hurting me was just
a part of your mental issues.
But I found out,
after all this pain
and wasted time,
that this has just been
YOUR FUCKING CHOICE.
YOU WANTED THIS!
And I'm sorry I let you do this to me.
You, sick, bastard.

Emotional Shrapnel

We met at what seems like last night,
And at the same time, forever ago.
The spark between us when we first met lit the fuse,
And now my heart is going to blow.
As your patience grew short, so did the fuse
As it became clear that you had been used.
But what you must understand
is that I didn’t know any better,
let all the deception and lies get wired like a letter.
Now the fuse is almost burnt at last,
I’m not just goin’ to let her
Leave me alone to take the blast.
The gap you left,
It’s pulling me in
Filling in that hole in my chest.
Now your heart’s about to blow
Oh god oh god no
Now I’m no longer me
My sharp wits now dull
Now im just riddled
With your Emotional Shrapnel…

Society

The drones, they keep on staring
at the television blaring
all the hate and lies
passing through their eyes.
Propoganda in their brains
Violent acts inside their viens
Muscles throbbing, hearts pounding
as the trumpets of war are sounding

The children, they cry
as the bombers pass by
dropping death at their feet
to that armmegedon beat
that drums on through their lives
as they take to the skies
to deliver their rage
to other children their age.

At the moon, the dogs howl
as the world leaders scowl
signing false empty treaties
to save their eradicated lands,
the 1950's nightmare of a world.
The screams of the soldiers can still be heard.
But all of these outcomes are really quite mild
so what ever you do, don't change that dial.

Learn to Fly

When we hit high school we promised ourselves this
Have the time of our lives
Live it up, have no regrets.
But it looks like you lied to yourself
You aren't having any fun
You never grew up is what it seems to be
Tonight is your last chance
Tonight is it...

Everything happens for a reason
But I'm sick of losing sleep over this
Tonight is the night you learn to fly
Trust me now and jump on in
Screw the rules and have some fun tonight
Tonight is the night, tonight is the night you learn to fly

After high school was gone and done you said to me
How could I miss all that
You're always saying how you wish you could do all these things
You never seem to follow through on your dreams
We have one more summer to get somewhere.

Everything happens for a reason
But I'm sick of losing sleep over this
Tonight is the night you learn to fly
Trust me now and jump on in
Screw the rules and have some fun tonight
Tonight is the night, tonight is the night you learn to fly

Summers come and past and you're regretting all the wasted time
You had so many chances and just gave them all up
Tell me now what you'd like me to do?
I can't take you back
I can't help anymore
I tried all I could back when we were young

Everything happens for a reason
But I'm sick of losing sleep over this
Tonight is the night you learn to fly
Trust me now and jump on in
Screw the rules and have some fun tonight
Tonight is the night, tonight is the night you learn to fly
-Alex D.

Regrets?

thoughts fly through my mind
regrets fill up to the brim
but my glass is half empty
and half full with sin

i can't take it
it's building up
i want to say i'm sorry
but the guilt is filling up inside
i can't breathe
i need to say it out loud
i want to tell you
that i don't love you to
but i don't want to break you

i've already been there
just like you
i can't take this regret
i can't hold it in anymore
you'll find someone new
who is into you
i just wasn't for you
but to me you're old news

i wanted to tell you
face to face
but i couldn't bear to
see the look on your face
when i spoke
i'm sorry

but i can't take it anymore
i can't think of that day
with out thinking i betrayed myself
i look down on myself now
and say wow...

some people may have regrets
and i have alot of them as well
and this one thing
this one little thing
had been added to that list
..
-Becca

Dumb

i feel so dumb,
because i actually believed what you said...
i don't know why,
i thought this was different,
i guess i thought wrong...
i'm always falling for the wrong ones...

i didn't look before i fell
and now I'm left with a shattered heart
from the fall into the deep
dark blue thoughts which are my mind,
my soul, and my heart.

you said i captivated you
and said you wanted something new
something you could hold on to
i fell deep, i fell hard
and the worst part
is you weren't there to catch me

you say you still do
but you're confused
i understand
but i'm so mad at myself

i know better than to get close to someone
because in the end they end up
leaving or breaking me in two
i'm so mad at my self
for believing in you
am i that dumb ?

i feel bad for saying this
but i can only get it out this way
but music says the words
we are afraid to say out loud...
<3
-Becca

Becca's

it's late at night
and she's walking by your side
her hand in yours
arms wrapped around her waist
never let her go
oh no, never let her, never let her
never let her go
hold her tight
when it's cold outside
kiss her cheek
when she is falling asleep
on your shoulder
walk with her on the beach
she's the one, she's the one
you think about so much
you can't even sleep
at night, unless you hear her voice
never let her go
oh no, never let her, never let her
never let her go
can't you see
her eyes are only seeing you
when she is quiet
a million things are running through her mind
and when she lays her head on your chest
she is wishing hard
that you were hers
forever
she stares at you
wondering what she could do
to keep you
hers forever
she never wants you to
never wants you to let
her go, because
she is in love
for the first time
ooooh
and tonight
remember this
always kiss her
and hold her tight
and never say goodbye
say "i love you baby
your my one and only
please don't go
just stay with me tonight
because im never gonna let you go
oh no, never let you go"
<3

Homecoming Dance Tribute

As the music starts, I take your hand.
And I'm so lost in your eyes that I can't hear the band
Our bodies are moving, more like one, not two
And as the music goes on, my heart says what to do

It says, “Hold her, and lead her. With you, she is safe
No matter what happens, you’ll remember this day
So don’t loose yourself in her wondrous eyes,
Keep your heart set on hers, your one true prize.”

We swayed on the dance floor, moving beat by beat,
And her eyes were so dazzling, I didn’t notice our feet
As the music continued, our eyes stayed locked
We kept dancing and dancing, losing time on the clock

The night was so perfect; I wished it wouldn’t end
And that maybe, just maybe, we could all just pretend
That we could keep going, lost on the dance floor
And be dancing and moving, always wanting more
-Dan Albro

Dreams?

Maybe someday you and I
Should get into a car
and go to California
just because it's far.
This place is getting old now,
as are our hearts and minds.
And we need to get away from here
and see what else we find.

Our horizons are bright
so we're leaving this town
and going to the western shoreline
where our hearts are surely bound.

Carefree around a campfire,
you and your guitar,
All troubles back on the east coast,
away from where we are.

And on our way to freedom,
we can finally see the world.
And discover what can happen,
just free will, a boy, and a girl.

We wont stop until we get there,
'cause thats where we're meant to be.
In the blowing wind, where love always wins,
Just you, California, and me.

Subtlety

I don’t think that each cloud
Really has a silver lining
'Cause I’m searching high and low
But for some reason never finding
How after seven days of happy
On the eighth I lose control
And I don’t mean to sound so sappy
But I’ve lost who made me whole.

For 10 minutes straight I’ll fly
Only to be struck down in my prime
I woke up laying on the ground
Bruised head, blood pooled all around.
If there’s a silver lining here,
I’m telling you it’s subtle.
I’m not sure, but from the looks of it
I'll always be in trouble.

I don’t think that a rainbow
Has a pot of gold at the end.
If you think that it’s all hard right now
Just wait until it ends.
Because the day the pain is "over"
and you're thinking you'll be fine
just wait a couple days
The wind will blow you off cloud nine.

Superior

The most beautiful boy in the world
Fell in love with an average girl.
She just hopes that her love can win
her mind goes places he's never been.
She knows she'll never be fully right
But in her world, her love is her light.
She feels like she always does wrong
But somehow, he's loved her all along.

He lights up when she smiles
but her happiness is rarely shown.
There are some dark places she’s been
but to him, they're all unknown.
He hasn't seen her at her best in awhile
but please boy, don’t let her go.

She's beauty in his eyes,
but when the sun goes down, she cries.
She has problems with her mind.
And she's looking for things she can’t find.
He loves her and she knows it well
Sometimes its hard for her to tell.
He isn’t doing anything wrong
But she can only explain this in a song.

He's more perfect than anyone she's seen
but his feelings just need to be shown.
He had her heart since she was fourteen,
but now’s no time to take it slow.
And no matter how she’s feeling,
he still has to let her know,
that he loves her, and no matter what,
he'll never let her go.

Honestly

It’s one thing to hurt myself
But seeing you in pain
And knowing that I caused it
Is driving me insane

And there’s no way to stop it
Nowhere for us to go
I died inside when you said those words
Honestly, no.

I know you don’t want to lose me
I know that you mean well
But you're too late to catch me
Because long ago, I fell

And my feelings are still kept inside
'Cause they're too deep to show
I lost a piece of myself when you said
Honestly, no.

You really don’t deserve this
You're perfect in every way
But there’s no way I can help this
There’s nothing I can say

Its awful that you're treated this way
You really have to know
Is it okay to live this way?
Honestly, no.

I know it’s really my fault
No matter what you say
And it kills me you get sadder
Every single day

Don’t tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I need to know
Ill ask again, are you okay?
Honestly, no.

Individual

Blended together
like people on this earth
we're different in some ways
with the same kind of worth

We all shake and all cry
we all live and all die
we all look at the clouds
and sometimes we sigh

And relief on our face
can’t register to our mind
we're all fucked up some how
normalcy is hard to find

We all slap our own face
and ask god fucking WHY?
We all do it somehow
or at least we imply

That no matter how defiant
or how much we deny
we can lose everything
with the blink of an eye
when the wires in our brain
fuck up and go awry

The brain cells pack their suitcase
and say their last goodbye
you'll think about the rest of them
and what you want to fry
you're wound down
but you're fucked up
and you're flying so damn high

And I’ll say it once more
and I’ll continue to try
you can lose everything
with the blink of an eye

The World Will Get Over It

He said "It's beautiful here,
Just like you"
I wanted to smile
But I couldn't go through.
He says I'm not selfish,
but we both know it's true.
And I'm fucking things up
With what I'm putting him through.
I said, "I'm sorry, 'cause I'm trying,
But no matter what I do,
all I want, all I need,
is to be with you."
The tears on my face
Have spread to my heart.
And I feel like I could die
Because him and I are apart.
And for reasons of my own,
I can't get it out of my head,
that he doesn't miss me back,
he just wants me gone instead.
He thinks this thought is crazy,
and I know that it is,
but I still can't explain
why I'm feeling like this.
Do I love him too much?
Does he love me too little?
Does it have to be extreme?
Can I meet him in the middle?
For now, wait 3 hours,
until it's 12:00 there,
close your eyes
and breathe in Seattle's fresh air.
lay down your head,
let the owls sing you to sleep,
and know when you come home,
you'll still have my heart to keep.

Twas The Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas,
and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.
Except for my son Billy's pet mouse named Chris.
I'm not really sure where I'm going with this.

Anyway, my wife in her kerchief and I in my cap,
Were asleep after a long day of Christmassy crap.
When then, from the chimney, there arose quite a clamour,
"There's someone in the house" my frightened wife stammered.
I reached for the bedside, grabbed my handgun and said,
"This trespasser's getting an ass full of lead"

I crept down the stairway, and slid down the hall,
And handgun in hand, I peered 'round the wall.
The burglar wore red, and stood fat and stout,
With a large burlap sack, to hold jewelry no doubt.
Who this guy was, I just couldn't place,
For a bushy white beard covered most of his face.

Now, I'm not a bad person, I think you'd agree,
But you just don't break into a man's house, you see.
"Hey you" I said, as he spun 'round with a twitch,
"Merry Christmas, you son of a bitch!"
I fired a shot as he dove to the floor.
Through a flurry of tinsel, I fired twice more.

"Please stop!" he yelled loudly, "You don't understand"
"Stay away from my family, you disgusting old man"
With his finger on his nose, he lept with a burst,
And dashed for the fireplace, but I got there first.
I pushed the muzzle into his beard white as snow,
When suddenly a small voice behind me cried "No!"

I turned 'round and saw it was Billy, my son.
With his pet mouse in hand, he said "Put down the gun.
What are you doing? Don't you know who that is?Couldn't you tell by that red hat of his?
That's Santa Claus, dad. It's jolly Saint Nick.Now put down the gun. Come on, don't be a dick."
Billy was right, this old man meant no harm.
I holstered my gun, as he outstretched his arm.

In a flash he took the gun right out of its holder,
And fired a shot into my left shoulder.
"Goddamnit!" I cried as I fell to the floor,
While the burglar made haste toward the jewelry drawer.

"I feel kind of bad" he said, filling his sack,
"But you believe in Santa, so cut me some slack.
Maybe next time someone breaks into your house,
You won't listen to some six year old kid with a mouse."
Then he yelled, as he ran off with my bigscreen TV,
"Merry Christmas to all. Well, maybe to me!"
