Smiling again after so long
Through shining eyes you can speak
Resist the evil and the wrong
In this world so dark and bleak
Drawing strength from the lovely words
A delight and calmness overcomes her
Finally hears the chirping of birds
Things are just as they once were
She�s escaped far from the pain
Souls around her beam with joy
Life feels sweet and full again
Nothing can break her, or destroy
______________________________
'Lying, sighing, crying, dying, flying.'
Crying behind a wooden mask.
Falling into this pit again, and hating it, and loving it.
Smell the sweet summer air.ee the beauty of the trees and imagining them grey and wilted, like she is.
The girl sat rocking back and forth in her room,
waiting for the pain to stop
and for her to love herself again.
She cries to heaven, imploring God to keep her sane.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
it will soon be over.
This world will crumble and die,
and she will go with it
unless she learns to love.
Lying, sighing, crying, dying, flying.
No angel, no demon, just gone.

�The Burden�
A story began in your lifetime
A story of sorrow and joy sublime
A path lay before you and a sure sign
To bear a greivous Burden you can't decline
Sit in the dark and watch it all slip away.
In a meadow park alone you sit feeling grey
The skies rain upon you, they feel no dismay
The fear that surrounds you, and waiting for day
In a strange land, you can feel evil is near.
Just take my hand, dark will conceal, then disappear.
a close-knit band, friendship is real, so do not fear,
alone we stand, our wounds will hear, we will have cheer.
We'll live again
We'll laugh again
But while the Burden does remain
No joy you'll find, only pain

On a day like today, so long ago
Things were okay, you didn't know,
It was all about to change forever
Your life, your love, she was to sever.
And now i lie alone in here
Stare at the grammaphone, with a tear
Rolling down my face again
my only friend is paper and pen
I keep thinking that i know best
How you were sinking, and that your zest
for life kept shrinking, it would be over soon
Never again would you sing a tune
Nine years and counting, alone
Tensions had been mounting, we've known
You wanted to live, she took it away,
Never again, something in the way.
