You

I have been in the Night
for so very long
Living in the Dark
from past failed loves
who have left their mark
But I got a message from you
it was so out of the blue
I got a message from you
Waiting all of my life
for someone like you
To love me as I love you
I was alone and down in a hole
strung out and hopeless
without any clue
But I got a message from you
it was so out of the blue
I got a message from you
from you
from you
Darling my only wish
is that you stay with me
keep loving me
and care for me
I got a message from you
oh, I got a message from you

Brand New

I feel like I’ve known you
for eons and past lives
I know you feel the same
But who are you in this one?
What’s your favourite colour?
What’s your favourite sky?
Do you roll with the punches
just to get by?
I want you to be happy now,
even from far away.
‘Cause one day we’ll escape our towns,
Baby, you and I
We have so much in common already,
I wonder what else...
I need to know more.
I need to know you.
What’s your family like?
Do you have a lot of friends?
Do you get too lonely
when you’re by yourself
just like me?
I want you to be happy now,
even from far away.
‘Cause one day we’ll escape our towns,
Baby, you and I
It’ll be hard to be so far away
for oh so long.
But it’ll be worth it honey,
I promise you that.

Adjust
02:10
|

We’ve had some trouble
getting used to each other
but we’ll get it right
Already on our way
Your motivation’s too blunt sometimes
And my darkness is too deep at others
but we’re adjusting
but most important:
we’re loving
oh, we’re loving
each other
We’ll be together until time dissipates
but until then we’re living,
oh we’re working
we’re loving
yeah we’re loving
I love you, Nick

Months Go By
03:08
|

|
Well we made it
through one month
learned so much
of each other
and we got this far
and I know you love me, oh
I know that you care
I know in my heart and my soul
that we are meant to be
and made for each other
It feel like we’ve been together
forever and a day
and maybe a few more
I will be by your side until the sun
swallows the earth
until time decides to stop and die off
and I know you love me, oh
I know that you care
I know in my heart and my soul
that we are meant to be
and made for each other
Nick
you are my true love
my light in the darkness
my saviour from sadness
and we will not ever fail
no we will not fail
and I know you love me, oh
I know that you care
I know in my heart and my soul
that we are meant to be
and made for each other
and I know you love me, oh
I know that you care
I know in my heart and my soul
that we are meant to be
and made for each other
made for each other
baby.

Turmoil
03:02
|
|||
|
A Dark Day came again
and this time I just couldn’t win
Then you told me
how you like to have time alone
so it seemed like the end
and I thought of my ex
and I cried
angry and alone
I didn’t feel at home
with you
or myself
and I wished it would change
My emotions blocked me off
from respecting your wish
for being alone sometimes
and I lost control
almost gave up my soulmate
I was lost again
and I cried
angry and alone
I didn’t feel at home
with you
or myself
and I wished it would change
The dark side of my heart
is still rebelling
it scares people away
and that what I hate
being alone
it’s my hell
I hope you can forgive me
after this stormy wake
Don’t run away
stay here with me.
stay with me.

The storm
is over
and now I’m better
but do you
still love me
of course you do
baby
you’ll always be there
when the darkness ebbs.
and
I
will always love you
darling

Trouble came once more
I almost lost my best friend
because I didn’t trust
I turned into a monster
But we worked it out
and we got this far
I’m so grateful that
You healed my scars
You can be forgetful
But you’re always there
We have our own lives
But in time they’ll be shared
And we worked it out
and we got this far
I so grateful that
You healed my scars
Oh we worked it out
and we got this far
I so grateful that
You healed my scars
I have been saved
I have let it in the light
And I’ll go on and on
we’ll go on and on

Love
I’m
finally
free.
The Dark
has
no more power
over me.
Light’s running through
my veins like I always dreamed.
Thanks to you
I lived through this
I made it here
with no more fear
You rescued me
you brought me home
right where I’m meant
to stay and not roam.
Thanks to you
I survived
I made it here
with no more fear
Nick
you
took me in.
Surrounded me
in
hope and peace
You’ll stay with me
into the night
and watch me as
I’m clothed in white
Thanks to you
I made it here
In Love and Light
with no more fear

Sunlit Haze

The Madness has stopped
but Life’s going on
Love has drown my world
in a euphoric flood
There’s no pain here
sadness is gone
and you light my days
in a sunlit haze
with no one to judge
or stop this peace
We’re together
in our headspace
Dreaming of us, oh
I’m dreaming of you
in a euphoric flood
Love has drown my world
but Life’s going on
The Madness has stopped
There’s no pain here
sadness is gone
and you light my days
in a sunlit haze
with no one to judge
or stop this peace
I love you so

School
is coming ‘round soon
so we’ll be busy
no more
lounging in my room
I fear that
we won’t have
time for us
But I trust
that won’t happen
to you
and me
I know
that we’ll be fine
just wait
and see
just wait
and see
my baby
I
wish you the best
in your senior year
You’ll succeed
and show them, dear
that you can
make it on
your own
And I trust
that we’ll make it
to each other
and win
this one
and we’ll be fine
just wait
and see
just wait
and see
my baby
I’m
not worried about the
silence
we’ll be okay
as long as we
remember to
love
and live
And I trust
that we’ll make it
to each other
and win
this one
and we’ll be fine
just wait
and see
just wait
and see
my baby

Together

Just as
the leaves fall
and time flows
and the sun spins
us all
we will be here
for one
another
nothing
will keep us apart
Love
will
guide
us
home
one day
we’ll fall
in each
other’s
arms
and be
at rest
Seas rise
and ships capsize
while the moon
watches the earth
gracefully
no one can break
us, no.
it is fate
for us
to embrace some day
Love
will
guide
us
home
one day
we’ll fall
in each
other’s
arms
and be
at rest
I know
that I get ugly
at times
and go off
the edge
and lose sight
of us
but I
will not
give up
Love
will
guide
us
home

Only Human

Life gets hard sometimes
And when the night comes ‘round
when you’re tired
and have lost your crown
You can be a little insensitive
But I forgive you
all your faults
I will love you
till we fall
in the darkness
and can live no more
Well your work has piled up
from your school and college courses
so sometimes
you’re just exhausted from the papers
and assignments
So I forgive you
all your faults
I will love you
till we fall
in the darkness
and can live no more
Yeah I forgive you
all your faults
I will love you
till we fall
in the darkness
and can live no more
You are only human, my dear
You get tired and down just like me
or anyone else
So when those times come
I’ll just embrace and comfort you
I will love you
till we fall
and can live no more

I can’t help
How I feel
I just need
something real
Dark clouds
are overhead
and I’m wishing
that I was dead
I hate that
I’m at school
and that people
can be so cruel
I’m always left alone
when I move away
No matter
what I do or say
And you’ve been
so busy lately
I can’t feel
you near me
I wish that
I didn’t feel like this
I hope you will
understand
and never leave me
or stop holding my hand
I know this puts stress on you
I know it must be
too much for you
Sometimes I
wonder why
I continue
living
I know it’s
just for you
and the questions
deep inside
Most days I
want to hide
in my room
and the gloom
Tired of people
and their lies
so I just
sleep and cry
I feel alone
and angry
I’m just done
with where I am
I want to go
and run away
into the sea
where I belong
I hope you will
understand
and never leave me
or stop holding my hand
I know this puts stress on you
I know it must be
too much for you

I know you love me
baby
I know that you care for me
and we both have our
bad days
yeah we both have our days
but we don’t have to
let it destroy us
we can fight until all is well
we can live through this year
because we love
dark days will come
and so will the light
so it’s not the end
even when we fight
but we don’t have to
let it destroy us
we can fight until all is well
we can live through this year
because we love
and we don’t have to
let it destroy us
we can fight until all is well
we can live through this year
because we love
our connection is eternal
and it will not end
if we keep enduring
these storms

Nick,
I fear
it’s over
between
us
now
because I’ve met
another
that can be here
for real
This long
distance
just kills
me so
And this new love
combats the cold
I’m leaving you
everything here
will
undo
because this
didn’t feel
real
no it
didn’t feel real
I’m sorry
for the pain
this will cause
I didn’t want you
to feel love-loss
but this is just how
it’s got to be
no more of you and me
and I hope
you’ll be
okay
find someone
to brighten
your days
I’m leaving you
everything here
will
undo
because this
didn’t feel
real
no it
didn’t feel real
Goodbye.

I greeted you
as an embrace
and you said that
all was good now
so, I took you in
and we lied there
tangled up
in our arms
But you just didn’t care
enough
about me
I didn’t want to
but I see
that you didn’t care
about me
you just wanted
to feel love
with no commitment
I thought it was perfect
as you smiled and laughed
even told me
to stay
in contact
but you didn’t
reciprocate what
I was feeling
And you just didn’t care
enough
about me
I didn’t want to
but I see
that you didn’t care
about me
you just wanted
to feel love
with no commitment
So I left you
there

I found you
in a forest of data
wandering through every path
And you made me warm
with your affection
even if you’re not here for awhile
I know we’ll meet someday soon
You made me laugh and smile
walking for miles and miles
between trees and leaves
When my darkness comes
you don’t run in fear
you distract me and chase it away
Just you caring about me
makes me happy
I wish you were here
but I’ll see you soon
Then there’ll be no more gloom
You give me hope,
Brian.

Yearning
03:11

Brian left
because of my sadness
it was too much for him
and his optimism
So I started over
talked to Nick again
only as a friend
I want to be with him
but there’s no possibility
so I’ll search
until I find someone
I guess
Keep thinking about Brandon and Barrett
and how it could have worked
but my mind draws a blank
and it saddens me so
Don’t know if I’ll be happy
again

Looking in all the web

No sense of hope

So I’ll settle for the black.

Rested
01:06
|

|
School is just about done
And my heart has lost its step
maybe after the break
I will be rested to continue
Will I be rested?
Everything is uncertain
and I just want to stop
Lie and sleep forever
In no ones arms
|

Old Grind

I’m back at home
with nowhere to go

lying around
stuck to the ground

Life will soon be back on track
going from class to class
life will tick on and on
to its usual beat
I wish that life
would only just be sweet
As the monotony settles in
A cold and arctic wind
blows through me and howls
unstopped by an empty vessel

Launch
03:08
|

|
The clock struck 0
and the world cheered
and yelled in joy
the new year was launched
into existence
But as for me
I felt only used
and useless
No accomplishments
from years before
only an empty shell
an empty life
and empty boy
Happy New Year to all
all the pretty boys
that got a kiss
to all the people out there
with someone to live for
Happy New Year

Plans
03:50

With virtual friends
I can get so down
‘cause there’s no one
that’s really around
It’s all just text
and picture on a screen
Sometimes I can’t tell
what they mean
Thus I’m still so lonely
making music
watching my shows
doing my coursework
and sleeping away
Ryan promises
to take me away,
give me a place on my breaks
But I know he’s going
to leave someday
and I’ll be friendless
come this May
Thus I’m still so lonely
making music
watching my shows
doing my coursework
and sleeping away

Survival
04:16
|

|
I will survive
all alone
on my own
in the city
I’ll be at home
I will survive
all alone
on my own
in the city
I’ll be at home
Don’t care about happiness
All that matters is survival
of the fittest
No love will find me
no pain will stop me
I will survive
all alone
on my own
in the city
I’ll be at home
I’ll be at home
I’ll be at home
I’ll be at home
I’ll be at home

Celebration
03:07

|
Now I can drink legally
So, my friends take me out on the town
Well the beats are loud
and the drinks are hard
but I don’t think I belong here
Some guys talk to me
Wish me happy birthday
and I feel so awkward being half-tipsy
But, I try to smile and act alright
my life choices are really getting to me
The beats are loud
and the drinks are hard
But I don’t think I belong here
Going back and forth
trying not to fall down
I think I’ve had enough
“Welcome to 21”

Mending Bridges

Brian returned after I tried to mend things
And things are going better than they once were
his sickness is practically gone
and my sadness is almost dissipated
But will it last this time?
I know that it will
I realize I’ve said this before
but I have true hope
and we will meet someday
once I transfer colleges next spring
and life will be bright
oh so bright
Hardships will still exist
but I’m more aware of my potential
and now I have someone to truly rely on
No matter what, life will be okay
