ODE TO LITERATURE
If i were to loose all that i call mine
but my life
pray thee fate that i might preserve
The gift of the written hand

If friend and foe were to leave my side
And despondency be my eternal bride
Pray providence may she with me abide
The hope of the written hand

If the world becomes dark and dreary
From the evil of man’s folly
May it shine ever bright and truly
The light of the written word.

My Immortal

I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
‘Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won’t leave me alone

These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I’d wipe away all of your tears
When you’d scream I’d fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I’m bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase

I’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone
But though you’re still with me
I’ve been alone all along

Somewhere I Belong

(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I’m not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long
(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real
I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I’ve got nothing to say
I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I)
What do I have but negativity
’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything till I break away from me
I will break away, I’ll find myself today

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

BREATHING

I’m finding my way back to sanity again
though I don’t really know what I’m gonna do when I get there
and take a breath and hold on tight
spin around one more time
and gracefully fall back to the arms of grace

cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don’t want to speak tonight
that’s alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside Heaven’s door
and listen to you breathing
is where I wanna be yeah

I’m looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth and I’m
trying to identify the voices in my head
God which one’s you
let me feel one more time what it
feels like to feel and
break these calluses off of me
one more time

cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don’t wanna speak tonight
that’s alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside your door
and listen to your breathing
is where I wanna be yeah
where I wanna be

I don’t want a thing from you
bet you’re tired of me
waiting for the scraps to fall off of your table to the ground
cause I just want to be here now

cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don’t wanna speak tonight
that’s alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside Heaven’s door
and listen to your breathing
is where I wanna be yeah

cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don’t wanna speak tonight
that’s alright, alright with me
cause I want nothing more than
to sit outside Heaven’s door
and listen to you breathing
is where I wanna be yeah
where I wanna be
where I wanna be

SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN

I can’t be losing sleep
over this, no I can’t
and now I cannot stop pacing
give me a few hours
I’ll have this all sorted out
if my mind would just stop racing

cause I cannot stand still
I can’t be this unsturdy
this cannot be happening

this is over my head
but underneath my feet
cause by tomorrow morning
I’ll have this thing beat
and everything will be back to the way that it was
I wish that it was just that easy

cause I’m waiting for tonight
and then waiting for tomorrow
and I’m somewhere in between
what is real and just a dream
what is real and just a dream
what is real and just a dream

would you catch me if I fall out of what I fell in
don’t be surprised if I collapse
down at your feet again
I don’t want to run away from this
I know that I just don’t need this

cause I cannot stand still
I can’t be this unsturdy
this cannot be happening, yeah

cause I’m waiting for tonight
and then waiting for tomorrow
and I’m somewhere in between
what is real and just a dream
what is real and just a dream
what is real and just a dream
what is real and just a dream
