I want to share too...

Wishing The World Away

I know I shouldn't stay
in my bed all day
alone in the dark,
wishing the world away

Hiding from everyone
and everything
Trying to forget
the faces I've seen

Dreams that I had
have been torn apart
Trust that I gave
only trampled my heart

Safe in shadows
how can I leave
In the frail silence
I only hear my grief

The light outside
only burns my eyes
the uncaring souls
with their cruel lies

***

I Should

I should
think of something else
almost anything would do
to get my mind off you

I should
turn on the tv set
any old show would do
so I'd stop thinking of you

I should
go out for a run
stand out in the rain
let it wash away the pain

I should
try to get to sleep
or go out for coffee
or maybe rent a movie

I should
take my own advice
stop trying to set things right
staying up late at night

I should
talk a whole lot less
stop sharing all my heart
so it won't get torn apart

I should
but I never do
I am just a fool
when it comes to you

Tell Me Goodnight

release me
from this raging pain
this spinning spiral
of madness
this thing they call
living on the edge
it's tearing
my soul apart

free me
from the angst of loss
the flooding torrent
of despair
this thing they call
falling in love
is driving me to the brink
of insanity

Bury the past
deeper next time
so it won't rise up
and attack me
zombie memories
full of heartbreak
it's always
the same old story

Someone slip me a pill
I can't seem to get to sleep
Tell me goodnight
Tell me goodnight
