Crazy Dreams
The Sleep Lady, what a strange creature
She talks to the voices that tell her things in her dreams
Turquoise and silver the rings on her fingers
Each one a symbol of her many very special dreams
Each night she finds herself a new world
She’s lead by the voices that guide her through her dreams
And the favoritest one of all her silver turquoise rings
What crazy dreams they are
Hate together with love and peace with war
Dissatisfaction makes amends with acceptance
All is well in her world
The Sleep Lady you’ve got to see her
Conversing with the voices that tell her things very deep
Feathers and beads are piled up all around her
Each one tells a fortune with meanings very, very deep
Each day she awakes with a new thought
Placed in her head by the angels in her dreams
And the neatest one of all her feathers and her beads
What crazy thoughts they are
Hate together with love and peace with war
They get along just fine no one disagrees or minds
All is right in her world
What crazy thoughts they are
Hate together with love and peace with war
They get along just fine no one disagrees or minds
All is right in her world

Dangerous Curve
It’s nothing but an asinine scene
Like the pages in a magazine I’m here
With sparkling eyes and lip gloss and a brand new dress
Curving dangerously
I’ve nothing left to say to you but then
With open arms you lure me back in
Rewind me back to start and cancel my regrets
To get on famously
And here’s the place I find myself to raise
Objections and a holy plan to save me
From the storm I find myself in now
I’d be better off dead
So I wait but I call for you in a daze
I am failing everything
So I wait but I call for you in a daze
I am failing everything that I am
Tomorrow I’ll be craving you but now
I find myself entangled in this shroud
Of cotton sheets and cigarettes and you
Saying this will be the end

Neither
How many times will I be expected to pull this off?
How many times have I told you to tell me right up front?
‘Cause I don’t have time for this and I don’t think you do either
So are you standing?
Are you walking?
Staying, leaving, neither?
And when you’ve decided to tell me I’ll be there
Baby yeah
And when you’ve decided to tell me I’ll be there
I would like to keep on trying if you could be there
But I just can’t hang and wait while you decide if it’s worth the fall
My life’s not slowing down, I don’t think yours is either
So are you standing?
Are you walking?
Staying, leaving, neither?

Beautiful Creatures
Beautiful creatures fly away
They don’t always say why
It’s never easy time and time again
To understand but we try
So just for today
I’m pretending to know you forever
Oh is that you laughing at me?
Can’t quite decide how to shut this down
But I know the time is near
My mind won’t let go
Through day and night I strain to make this clear
So just for today
I’m pretending to know you forever
Oh is that you laughing at me?
Wish I had known
Wish I had heard
Wish more could see what I have found
It’s what you freed

Skin
I don’t fit here inside this skin
It’s my own but it’s starting to wear thin
Let’s just say right now it’s not where I want to be
You can say you feel my pain but it won’t convince me
I’m not reflected in the looking glass
I suppose it’s really me I can’t tell from what I see
Let’s just say right now I don’t know where I should be
And you can say you feel my pain but it won’t convince me
Someday I’ll push past me and I won’t look back
Someday I’ll make you see you were so way off track
Someday I’ll push past me and I won’t look back
Someday I will stop fearing me
I hear a stranger’s voice could it be my own
It seems so fragile now speaking all alone
Let’s just say right now I don’t like what I hear
You can say you feel my pain, can you also feel my fear?
How long? Well I don’t know
I don’t think there’s one defining day when I’m really truly grown
So I’ll just keep on crawling here ‘til I can stand up on my own
And in my own heart be at home
‘Cause I don’t fit here inside this skin
It’s my own but it’s starting to wear thin
Let’s just say right now it’s not where I want to be
You can say you feel my pain but it won’t convince me
You can say you feel my pain but it won’t convince me

Where is She
Baby cries on a treetop limb
On a Sunday afternoon
Screams are falling out the windows
Disappear on down the road
Hooray you’ve stayed together
Hooray for you
This is your paradise again
She is pulling on her mother’s arm
‘Cause the fear she has of him
She drops her mother’s hand and lingers
But she’s invisible to them
Hooray you’ve stayed together
But where is she?
This is your paradise again
Hooray for you
Where is she?
Hooray for you
Where is she?
Hooray for you
Where is she?

Silver Trains
She stopped everything as usual and thought about the places she could go
Aeroplanes and silver trains were never meant to take her down that road
She gave everything an open wing and slipped away from everything she’d known
Eyes shut tight with all her might imagining a new place to call home
Okay we’ll go
We can dive into the great unknown
No reason to stay
Take the optimistic view today
She dreams as she’s wide-awake
Noises falling from the sky
Pours her soul into an alphabet
Soup of tangled screaming wires
Okay we’ll go
We can dive into the great unknown
No reason to stay
Take the optimistic view today
Okay we’ll go
We can dive into the great unknown
No reason to stay
Look up to the sky and fly
Look up to the sky and fly away

Violet Sky
I think I see the rain clouds in the violet sky again
Beneath the blood red moon light pouring in
I think that I will always see tomorrow like two days before
Nothing’s changed and nothing will
I stay up till the morning stars fall off the brightening sky
Waiting for the new days to arrive
And these days are the mountains crashing down before my blinded eyes
Over a great mass of frightened cries
Cry
The lost souls form from dust and walk the streets all afternoon
Searching for a savior in a ruse
And my soul walks among these faces pale and frightened too
Visions of a rider pure and true
Cry
I think I see the rain clouds in the violet sky again
Beneath the blood red moonlight pouring in
I think that I will always see tomorrow like two days before
Nothing’s changed and nothing will

In Between
Don’t you worry I’ll see you on the other side of this
‘Cause you’ve been waiting your whole life it’s just you haven’t met
One year down and one year closer to a silly silent dream
But don’t you notice your whole lifetime is passing in between?
Don’t you change a thing about you
Don’t you change a thing about you
You wear your happiness and smiles like a favorite perfume
But I can see that underneath it your tears are falling through
So lay your head down and you close your eyes and think of better days
Cause after all it’s him who’s waiting for you to come his way
Don’t you change a thing about you
Don’t you change a thing about you
Don’t you change a thing about you darling
Don’t you change a thing about you

Through the Roof
Once you reach a certain speed you have no hope of slowing down so
You just learn to take the turns and ride and hope the ride is fun
Just two ways to make it stop you reach the end or you steer yourself right off the edge
Say you’ll be there first on scene
Hold my hand make me believe
I’ll live through this you’re gonna rescue me
You’re gonna roll back the top and pry open the tomb
Reach in and just pull me out right up through the roof
Once you’ve shown your winning smile you’ll be expected to wear it a while
And as if all the time you’re filled with pride and no doubt inside
And you harbor a strange desire to tempt the fates and just drive right off the edge
Say you’ll be there first on scene…

Cliche
I always try what you suggest I never thought to even question
With your guarantee I didn't believe that I should bother with discretion
So I took that subtle knife and ran it left to right three times
And would you believe a satisfying bleed eluded me
I regret the choice of words but I can see no way around it
So in the meantime honey would you just put your money where your mouth is
'Cause you said release would come if I were patient so I waited
and peace of mind would find me along the way so I stayed
There's nothing left to say so I'm planning my escape but the best that I've got is not reason enough to bother
If I slowly back away it won't be so hard to take and when you look around to figure it out it's just over
(But) Remember what was said belongs to you belongs to me so don't go thinking you can give away the ending
'Cause you said release would come if I were patient so I waited
and peace of mind would find me along the way so I stayed
Well nothing's coming up or out right and it certainly ain't roses
And I would give part of my heart right here tonight if it meant I could
Feel a little less violent inside.
I hate to sound cliché I'll try to find another way but in the meantime honey could you just put your money where your mouth is

Scattered
I know exactly how I feel inside this rattling melon of mine
But for the life of me I just can't find
A single word to help me describe
I can't put into words something I feel so strongly
You'd think there'd be a way for something so vital
Anyway here I am overwhelmed and undecided
With the same song repeating to no end
Tragic, tender, melodramatic as ever
Perfectly wretched and bringing me down
To where I'll try to put it all in perspective
Pray that it keeps me from total melt down
Paper pen and digital, even blood have failed me
I can't seem to re-create a simple lousy sentiment
Trying to discover a way to concentrate my heart into a
Drama queen certified effective form
Tragic, tender, melodramatic as ever
Perfectly wretched and bringing me down
To where I'll try to put it all in perspective
Pray that it keeps me from total melt down
I can't put into words something I feel so strongly
You'd think there'd be a way for something so vital
Anyway here I am overwhelmed and undecided
With the same song repeating to no end
Tragic, tender, melodramatic as ever
Perfectly wretched and bringing me down
For now can I just fall away?
Hide inside an altered mind
I know I'm close to danger
Obsessive, panicked, borderline
Just try to stay close by and
In another day or two
We can start again from that manic high

When the Meaning Dawns
You should have said, “It’s down hill from here. Just let go don’t even start.”
The more that you care, the more you’ve invested the more you’ll see things break apart
And when you finally get a handle on all that you want
You’re planning your farewell hoorah and picking the perfect plot
It’s those damn circles the vicious ones we’re told to set our clocks to
Circles the good for nothing hoops we learn to jump through
Circles the course we’re told to run to pay our dues
And when you get the courage to go after the things that you want, that’s when the meaning dawns…the joke’s on all of us
Get to know the game and know how to name your price before you start
The more you reveal the more you agree to the more you’re loath to play your part
And when you finally get a handle on all that you want
You’re planning your farewell hoorah and picking the perfect plot
It’s those damn circles the vicious ones we’re told to set our clocks to
Circles the good for nothing hoops we learn to jump through
Circles the course we’re told to run to pay our dues
And when you get the courage to go after the things that you want, that’s when the meaning dawns…the joke’s on all of us

One Hundred Eighty
Employee of the month year round
But it’s not quite the honor that it sounds
Getting close to month one hundred eighty
It’s so routine by now why start complaining
Arbitrator, honest, clever, fair
Empathetic, always one to care
Self-effacing, quietly aware
Always. How could you change?
What could you honestly re-claim anyway?
It’s not a bad existence
But it’s always been all or nothing
Avoiding the path of least resistance
It’s always the cautious ones that end up the victim
Arbitrator, honest, clever, fair
Empathetic, always one to care
Self-effacing, quietly aware
Always. How could you change?
What could you honestly re-claim anyway?

Don't Spill
K. Abellon
You were on the ground thinking could this be the day I get it all straight
Gotch’your money jar tinklin’ spending your change on a vinyl serenade
Spinnin’ songs that remind you that you’re not ok
Keepin’ you in the thick of a swirlin’ parade of things you can’t explain
Hey there don’t spill
You’ll find yourself alone and no better
Watchin’ me turn and walk away
You were on the ground thinkin’ could this be the day I throw it all away
Score the lines across your skin and write out my name with a shiny razor blade
Draggin’ me to the brink with your poignant display of pitiful shame
‘Cause you’ll feel so much better when you hear me say I’ll rescue you babe
Hey there don’t spill
You’ll find yourself alone and no better
Watchin’ me turn and walk away
Bravo my dear
I think it’s safe to say
You’ve been stellar
Performing a scene from your latest passion play

Walk Away
Honestly I can’t foresee a way through this
We’ve agreed we can’t agree and kept our names on each respective black list
It’s hard to hear we have nothing left to share
Harder still to take that first step and just let go
It’s ok for both of us to just walk away
There’s no shame you’re not turning your back on anything
You do what you can it won’t always be your best
I’ve shared the same view I’ve seen exactly what we’re up against
And it’s ok…oh…. walk away
It might seem a waste to give up now this far in
(But it’s) Best to pack up all the good you’ve gained before it’s tainted
It’s hard to leave familiar things but damaging to keep routines
As just a vice to keep from stepping up and letting go
It’s ok for both of us to just walk away
There’s no shame you’re not turning your back on anything
You do what you can it won’t always be your best
And I’ve shared the same view I’ve seen exactly what we’re up against
And it’s ok…oh…. walk away

Throw Stones
Burdened by self-righteousness I can’t abide myself right now like this
What I’ve done should be a crime just finalize your terms ‘cause the blame is mine
And I was wrong to judge you and failed to see the real you
Failed to realize that your fate could have just as easily been mine
Overwhelmed by hypocrites my best defense was biting temperament
That’s no excuse for what I said but there’s a catch
I’m gonna try to curb my arrogance
‘Cause I was wrong to judge you and failed to see the real you
Failed to realize that your fate could have just as easily been mine
(Wrong to judge you failed to honestly look for the real you
Failed to realize it’s just a ride on the wheel not a choice that you make
Your fate could have been my own, so go ahead feel free to throw stones…)

Little Gold Star
Oh so glad for you because you got your little gold star
Of course you know just how you’re held in high regard
But for your next trick you might have to change your part
Gotta keep ‘em amazed gotta keep ‘em in awe and in the dark
Oh so proud the road you’ve paved puts most of us to shame
Look how far you’ve gone with insight well beyond your age
But don’t be surprised if one day you cease to amaze
Someone’s always close behind gonna be the newest find and you’ve had your time
And I will keep a smile for you
And I will stay here in your corner
Nothing is so simple as just “follow your dream”
But I’ll keep your secrets I’ll carry that weight
Seeing how you fears and mine are the same
And I’ll just keep on smiling for you

Amazingly So
Amazingly so oblivious
I guess you really don’t know
I have a hard time believing (that, but)
You claim you’ve never been told
What have I been doing this whole time?
It’s not like I had nothing going on in my own life
Shaking hands embracing making nice
Now I have no doubt with you it’s all been contrived
Incredibly acted sincerity
You sure know how to put on a show
Allow me to roll up the rented carpet
Red’s not your color anymore
What have I been doing this whole time?
It’s not like I had nothing going on in my own life
Shaking hands embracing making nice
Now I have no doubt with you it’s all been contrived
Remarkably uninspiring
Down right disheartening in fact
At first glance such a promising cover
But inside nothing’s attached
What have I been doing this whole time?
It’s not like I had nothing going on in my own life
Shaking hands embracing making nice
Now I have no doubt with you it’s all been contrived

Tragedy
There is no this way or that slated in the stars
You’re convinced you are just living here by chance
Your friends are waiting now to see which path you’ll choose
They’ll be sure to take the one that doesn’t cross you
Your demise will come as no surprise
Oh they’ll say they knew you well enough to see it comin’
So you’ve resigned to play it like they’ve always said
Apologize for somehow thinking you’d be better
Your demise will come as no surprise
Oh they’ll say they knew you well enough to see it comin’
Your demise will not take them by surprise
They’ve been circling and waiting for a piece of your tragedy
