Call me shallow call me fake
Boost me up in the same
breath cut me down.
Stick by you when you need
Stick by you when you don't.
Cast me away I'll float right back.
You say you want me to leave
But you ask me to come back
Make up your mind
Some day I won't be able
Some day I'll be dead.
Curse me. Love me. Hate me.
At the end I'll be waiting for you.

alone and scarred, my tattered
soul flapping in the wind
like a knight's banner
come home from battle.
Forced to scavenge the wilderness
like a wolf torn from his pack,
searching for a scrap
of sustaining love.
Bruised and broken, an empty shell,
a shadow of what I once was,
I wander in the
crushing solitude.
Waves of despair wash upon my shores,
my carefully built castle crumbling,
all the joys crushed
like a neglected rosepetal.
Seas of discontent wash the
salt tears from my eyes,
as the tattered remains
of my soul flutter away.

I'll pray the Lord my soul to keep
and then I'll cry myself to sleep
These words I've heard and then I've said
And now with me, go to bed
Eyes are dry, no water shed
But no reprieve from in my head
To bed I go, my heart a stone
To bed I go, just me. Alone.
No words spoke, just silent breath
Awaiting a sad uncertain death
I've prayed the Lord, then laid to sleep
And when I die, my soul He'll keep

Is it quiet or loud, echoing inside your head?
And what is the sound of a heart broke in 'twain?
This vessel of blood, screaming out of it's pain..
I sit here with you, my head in a cloud.
Please to be quiet, your silence too loud..
My mind is awhirl sitting motionless here
A deafening silence softly sounds near..
Listen to me, I say nothing at all
But please let me finish this meaningless scrawl..
The silence of you, inside of my head,
This is the sound of a single tear shed..........

Just when every ray
of hope was gone
I should've known that you
Would come along
I can't believe I ever doubted you
My old friend the Blues
Another lonely night
A nameless town
If sleep don't take me first
You'll come around
'Cause I know I can always count on you
My old friend the Blues
Lovers leave and
Friends'll let you down
You're the only sure thing
That I've found
No matter what I do I'll never lose
My old friend the Blues
Just let me hide my weary heart in you
My old friend the Blues
