   The cars race and the buildings stand tall All the people pace and the takers take their call The earth stands still for just a minute too long And everything on it strives to be strong But I broke. I let all of this get to me and I could no longer see the beauty in the skies Or hear the songs the flowed through each river I simply couldn't bare it all and I allowed myself to break So this is how I leave my world Now I lay me down to sleep, the world before I sleep

The loneliness fills her soul with emptiness. She can't seem to let go. All of her thoughts are gathered, crowding her mind until they are no longer clear. The blurriness takes her into a world of haze where everything around her becomes one giant maze. And she begins to feel lost in this parallel universe and she is no longer aware of which way to turn so she can try to escape.

The girl waits calmly for the gathered crowd to quiet. Filling her diaphragm with more air than she can hold, the girl stands with elegant posture among her patient audience. Opening her mouth and extending her jaw, she lets the notes flow freely from her vocal cords. Reaching the highest note, she clenches the sweaty fists that hang on either side of her nervous body. While remembering not to look straight into anyone's eyes, she continues to use her bold voice forcefully. The sounds project so far across the room that they fill every inch of empty space left in the over-crowded auditorium with echoes. She squares her shoulders and takes one

Let go of what is not there I see a light but it is only a glare Time to realize my fears And let go of my tears This can go away and pass with time Let go of this life of mine It holds me in space Where I'm in a deeply-dark place It sides with the pain I'm forced to strain Do not try to embrace me Let go of me please I'd rather be alone This sickness is prone A wrongful disease You have on me Behind closed doors In a room with wooden floors The thoughts are buried deep In the cryptic of the creek My body is thrown The horrible pain has grown This feeling won't let go Please let go

She took the pills as a way of dealing Thinking it would help her cope with what she was feeling For the first time in a while she didn't feel so over-taken For the first time in a while she didn't feel so mistaken For the first time in a while she didn't catch herself crying For the first time in a while she didn't feel like dying For the first time in a while she didn't shut out the world But little did she know, she was in for a whirl All of a sudden she was hooked What happened then? Well take a look. There she was thinking she was happy When all along she wasn't seeing clearly But her whole life was slipping away And she

Turn on the T.V., two boys dead One stabbed in the chest, one shot in the head A vicious attack, a gunshot wound More to come; please stay tuned A stupid advertisement and a "welcome back" Here's a report on a guy named Jack Caught in a fire, dead in half a minute A house burnt down with only Jack in it That's all for tonight, see you tomorrow Be sure to join us, we'll be bringing more sorrow.

I'm in my own world with feelings of peril I'm not paying attention; my thoughts are too sterile   I finally notice the shadow that lingers behind I'm trying to run for cover, there's only one thing I find Something I'm seeing; a building so tall Extremely large windows and empty, narrow halls I'm seeing something bright, my eyes catching a glare Searching ahead of myself, feeling nothing but air My back takes a hit, I'm falling to my knees An unimaginable attack, someone help me please I'm lying on the floor now; I don't know where I am I don't know what I'm doing; I don't know where I've been I'm burning out fast, don't think I

Mixed Emotions You treated me bad and I kept coming back You led me down an empty path Took me through a world of grief And made me forget all my beliefs But now that's over Never again will I fall at your feet And keep your hand at my heart Because all you would do is tear it apart. No longer can you look down on me Free from the thought, free from the pain I will never go through that again. When I thought you had more than the world had to offer I gave up my life and you took it  over My thoughts are clear and there is no more pain You were simply thrown my way Now you're gone and I'm here to stay Free to share, free to

My Hands are Finished Shaking You're packing your bags, getting ready to leave, and not a word is said. I'm thinking to myself, why did you do this to me and at the same time, will I ever see you again. Now when we do look at each other, the connection is no longer there. We do not see one another the same and our hearts are no longer aware. You walk out the door and prepare yourself to depart and still no words are said. I embrace the thoughts, words, and feelings that linger inside my head. The car drives away slowly and my heart continues braking. But now that you are gone, my hands are finished shaking.
