Trees
Sometimes I ponder the things that we do
If we didn't do them would we turn out the same?
I don't think I'd be me or that you'd be you
we'd all be so different if not for the choices we've made.

I guess it's like wondering about the way that trees grow.
they are majestic and beautiful reaching toward the sky,
But they came from just one seed nature had meticulously sewn
and yet it's like us.. like the branches of our lives.

Each decision we make is like the young twigs on a tree.
When the sun shines east we go one way, west the other
We continue to grow as the years pass we can see
its all connected, all just sisters and brothers.

Sometimes we get cut short. Other times just a limb.
We have skin to protect us from the weathers that pass
Even times when hearts get mangled because of her or him
We can chose to move on, or fall flat on our ass.

Hazy
How do we get wrapped up in these webs
all confusing and difficult and crazy?
Just sittin here looking around
my future is getting overly hazy.

You think things are innocent
or on the surface they seem
Until you wake up one day
and just really wanna scream!

Things are going nowhere
it's like you're livin in a trance
Not giving any of the crazy thinks in life
even just one more quick glance

Before you know it you're outta control
Like a spiral you are falling so fast
Why can't any of the good things
ever just simply last?

I've lost sight of the prize
don't even know how to get back
On the winding road that lead me here
I just wanna get back on track

Wanna go towards the goals
so neatly placed in my head
The ones that have gotten me here
and have left me so far from dead

Life is a journey
it's a gift we are given
Just makin the best of it
can get you to heaven.

One time I had it
now I'm fighting so hard
to get back the feelings that consumed me
not back in time all that far

Every day is a mystery
nobody knows where the road leads
But I've gotta start listening
to the path my heart wants me to heed.

How do we get wrapped up in these webs
all confusing and difficult and crazy?
Just sittin here looking around
my future is getting overly hazy.
Answers
Up and down and around we go,
trying so hard to see things clear.
Right about now the ride is getting old,
just tell me the answers I can go on.

How can you ever expect me to change,
if you're never stopping to explain what you are wanting?
What can I do to live up to your expectations,
from what I do, to how I talk and walk and look?

Tell me what you're looking for, and help me to see it.
Right now all that is in front of me is a blank wall.
nobody is talking about the problem at hand,
they are just pointing the fingers away from themselves.

You ask me to change but never want to take the time,
I'm stuck in a trap here in my own mind.
Just say what you want me to do,
so I can get off of this rollercoaster.

Up and down and around we go
trying so hard to see things clear.
This ride is going to end somehow,
just tell me the answers I can go on.
Enough
You've played with my heart enough
stomped until it was nothing on the ground.
You are the reason I cannot trust
any man that has since come around.

I just want you to let me go
so I can see if love is possible again
or if my heart is cured to an endless lifetime
of damnation, hopelessness and pain.

Ripping my innocence away from me
and then running with it far far away.
How could you do it and feel nothing
No remorse, not even for one solitary day?

So many times I have wished you dead
I'm sick and so tired of the nitemares
that taunt me as I sleep at night
I just want to breathe and finally be set free.

Why can't you just let me go..
let me be free of all the lies and deceit.
Is there something I have and don't know
that you are longing to have back from me?
The Desk
Sitting up here in my world all alone,
with so much activity that I forget to breathe.
Now here you come telling me off...
But once again, you don't want to help me.

What is your problem? What's with the games?
All I have to do is walk away from it all,
just once when you treat me like I have no name,
and leave you to sort out the pieces I've left.

I know you don't want that, you told me so.
Told me how you loathe my responsiblilties
So why is it so hard just to help me out
and get these things into my mind more clearly?
Sad Song
That's not me belly-aching,
what you hear is my heart breakin.
Guess I'll head to the honky-tonk
and drink these blues away
My feller done left me
now I'm drowning in my tears
Y'all need to see that this is killing me

*My rendition of a country song
after a few I heard one day*
