silent all these years

what's so amazing about really deep thoughts?

boy you best pray that I bleed real soon.

how's that thought for you?

my scream got lost in a paper cup.

you think there's a heaven -

where some screams have gone?

I got 25 bucks and a cracker -

do you think it's enough?

to get us there

cause what if I'm a mermaid

in these jeans of his

with her name still on it?

hey but I don't care.

cause sometimes,

I said sometimes,

I hear my voice -

and it's been here.

Silent All These Years...

years go by

will I still be waiting?

for somebody else to understand.

years go by

if I'm stripped of my beauty

and the orange clouds

raining in head.

years go by

will I choke on my tears

till finally there is nothing left?

one more casualty

you know we're too easy, easy, easy...

well I love the way we communicate

your eyes focus on my funny lip shape.

let's hear what you think of me now -

but baby don't look up

the sky is falling.
