WomanI'm not afraid of dirtor mud or muck or doing hard work.With a saw or axe I'll fell, limb, and buck a tree,and though it may not be the prettiest job you seeit works, and that's what really counts.When it comes to looks I don't care an ounce,be they mine or yours or the job I did,'cause though I'm not pretty I've got thoughts in my head.So when I go to sleep in my cold lonely bed, (which is the way I prefer it, don't get upset)when I'm alone, I've my mind's company,and that's really all than anyone needs.
Love: is not easily forgottenAnd you. You broke my heart and,displeased with the results, you scattered the pieces and ground them under your uncaring heel. Yet I loved you.I remembered the sweet thingsyou poured in my virgin ears. The quiet moments beneath the sunsetor riding through the summer mountains.Just you and I. And I loved you.Though I cried a thousandtears and begged you not to leave,promising to write,promising to return,promising to love none but me.You left me.Each promise you made and each word you spokewere lies.And beneath the loathing I came to feel at your name,beyond the lies you left behind,passing by t
My Mountain TopI sit on the lonely mountain topWhen I need to think, to stop.While they sit in their dark halls And close themselves in wallsSquabbling about their petty laws,The sun in the snow gleams on my faceFar apart from the frantic raceTo right or left I chose to goI'm not caught up in the flow.Don't try to make me come back downI'll sit here on the mountain's crownI'll breathe the air and smell the flowerAs is sit atop my lonely tower.For here it is I found my joyAnd here I need no pretty toyTo fit right in, for there's just me.Alone, and happy as can be.
FearsIt's been a long timeSo I guess I was unpreparedWhen you took my heart by stormRan your fingers through my hairTold me that you loved meAnd never would let me goAnd I wonder if I can trust you Though my heart tells me soAs I sit here waiting for youI wonder if it is trueOr if I'm only dreamingAnd in the morning it'll be throughPlease tell me I'm not sleepingAnd that you're really hereTell me again you love meAnd there is nothing to fearCause my little pessimistic heartTells me this cant beAnd that you're only a part of a dreamThat in the morning you wont beLying here beside meHolding me againTell me
His EyesWhen I look in his eyes-Eyes of shattered glass blue-I know somehow that his words are true. I see in his eyesWhat I've not seen before. I see the old thingsBut also much more.In the dark eyes before hisI saw only greed(Desire and lust are more what I mean).Now in his eyes I see that too,But only after looking throughThe love, respect, and tendernessThat accompanies each caressWhen his fingers dance across my face.The love that's ours is not a raceTo add a conquest to his list,No, but to savor every kiss. So I think that this could lastUnlike the others in my past.
Love and ReligionAlways before were 'religious guys'Went to church and prayed every nightThey threw me aroundI was treated like dirtThat's 'the way life was'I accepted the hurtBut now there's youAnd you treat me rightYou tell me i'm prettySwear your love every nightHow can our love be a sinAnd those before be right? I dont understand my church anymoreAll I understand is tonight
Internal WarThere is a war With casualties unnumbered.Each side's the worst offAnd each side's the best.Armies laughing and shootingThey're slashing and burningThe pain, it is something that wont go away.One side has cannons, The other has bombs.They fire and fireWith desperate desireTheir trenches go higher.They're dying, and filing the earth with their bones.Each blast cuts me deeperI'm down on my knees. Haven't you heard?It's all inside of me.Can't you see that you're killing what's inside of me?
What's mineMy body is yours Do with it as you will,But my soul is my own,The one part of me you cannot touch,The one part of me that's mine.You may try to break it,Scream obscenities in my face. You may beat me until I cry aloudBut you will not leave a trace. My soul is flying in the skyIt's far away from you.You can beat me, starve me, hate me, You can shame me before all,But my soul is flying in the skyAnd it will never fall.Cut me, rape me, kill me even, Do the worst that you can do. My soul is soaring through the sky, So far away from you.My body is yoursDo with it as you will, But my soul is mine. And you
The Flat Of My BackThis song was written from the flat of my back.It was the only place I could beLife hit me so hard, left my soul a broken shard.So I wrote this song from the flat… of my back.This song was written from the flat of my back.Dark was all I wanted to see. Heard you were dead, the sorrow went to my head. So I wrote this song from the flat… of my back.This song was written from the flat of my back. Wars and armies took you from me. My love I give, without you I don't want to live. So I wrote this song from the flat… of my back.This song was written from the flat of my back. It's where I wanted to be. I'll make no more wa
Woman of the EarthWho would I be? I would be a woman of the earth.Planting seeds, nurturing life;I would sense the warmth in seedlingsFeel the blood of trees cool against my cheekSo close beneath their skin.What would I be? I would be a woman of the earth. Feeling nature's love, I would radiate that love to others. Feeling the pull of the moon on the oceans, Sense a stirring in my own blood. And in summers heat and in winter's coldRest in the peace of all ages combined.What would I be? I would be a woman of the earth. My roots firmly fixed in the soil, Weathering out stormsI would feel the great pounding heart of the earth h
UntitledI try to be so strong Only cry when I'm alone I try to never give upBut sometimes I can't go on. If I can see it coming I can take most anything.It's life's nastier surprisesThat have me on my knees.When demons of my past Come knocking on the doorI try to keep them locked outsideBut they're crawling through the floorI'm lost here in this darkened roomI used to call my mindI need someone to save meOr they'll kill me this time.Where I'll be tomorrowIs something I don't know'Cause life never seems to Want to let me take it slow.Without seeing the futureAll I have with me's the past.In the present I'm a
WatchingI see youTough on the outside, But inside, good. You hurt, same as everyone Maybe deeperFor all you keep it hidden.I see you give Trying so hard to help othersPaying no mind to your own wounds. You'll kill yourself this way.Accept the help that's offered. Talk, Get out of your shell. It may seem safe but that shell Locks comfort outAnd all the poison in.Take it, damn you. Cant you see? I am a taker, I never give. To you, I offer one small thing. Believe me, It hurts me as much to offerAs it hurts you to ignore.You would hate me if you knew meBut that is not the case. In this context you could
WasI was the stone,I felt nothing I moved not. My heart was hardened in my chestAnd when I slept I took no rest. I existed,My heart was cold and moved not. And when I saw other's painI laughed until I died again. I felt nothing.So long ago I only rememberThose days have passed and gone. Now when I see the pain in othersI almost can't help but cry along.It hurts so badTo see you falling to the groundI am powerless to help youYou struggle on in hope to get through. Please don't give up. My unfamiliar emotions warring I don't understand all this It almost makes me wishThat I was stone.So long ago I only
The What-if'sWhat if…What if…What if…What if…What if I…What if I'm…What would I do if I...What would you do if we…What should I do? For me For youFor ours?What if I'm…What if I…What if…What if…What if…
GhostsThe ghosts were out last nightAs I walked back roads aloneFlitting at the edge of sight Normally would chill me to the boneTo see the black horse toss his headRider less he is, and freeNo reigns adorn him, it's said But his saddle waits empty for me.Others also haunted my lonely pathAs I walked last night aloneThe black haired twin wraith Whose eyes are cold as stoneTook the shape of young womenIn long black dresses Sharpening their knives of human bone.The horse he stood before meThe wraith to either sideI knew that if I passed that point I would surely die.A moment I stood waitingAs a tear slid down m
Elves Nighttime WelcomeIn the darkSearch the starsOn this moonless cloudy nightFor the magic Of the elvesAs they play the glimmering lightLike a top Like a songThose who can see all delightIn the whispered lighting fancies they behold.It's the elvesWho controlThe light that's in the darkAnd their magicThat we see With each beating of our heartSo look upIn the nightLeave the city find a parkAnd loose your conscience in the magic of the elves
LonelinessLeave me aloneGive me shaded rocky cornersIn the shadow of the windLet the sun shine back upon meYou know you took it from me old friendPlease leave me. And dont come back again.Like stone cattle through stormcloud valleysYou keep running through my mindAnd I used to like the feeling but It's hurting me this timeTake your noise and your painAnd do not haunt my mind again.Like some maddened ancient butcherYou cut for my heart againI once gave it to you but nowI take it back again.Get your knife from out my chestAnd do not cut at me again.Like sandstorms from distant deserts You callus my skin to steelIt
Prisoner version 2I miss the air…I miss the tempest sandstorm And the choking desert dustI miss the thunderclouded skyMiss the cool night breezes Flowing cross my faceBeneath the starsI long for stars,Sparkling in the dark skyThe radiant moon,Growing, living, dyingAlways changing, always sameI'd die happy If I could see it all once moreI beg you let me one more timeSwim in a river that runs freePlease let me play in the ocean sand I beg once moreLet the sun shine on my withered frameLet my ears hear the sound of a living thingLet me taste a wild fruit that no farmer grewDon't let me die in this darkened cell alone!Bu
Mirror GirlWho are you, mirror girl? Why are you there, where my face should be? When I move, you move, so you must be meBut I don't understand how this could be.Since when have I grown so tall? My lips are supposed to be more smallAnd breasts, I shouldn't have them at all.Since when did I get wrinklesOn my forehead, 'round my eyes? I don't know when I got broad shouldersAnd muscles on my arms.Where was I while I grew up? Who stole my childhood from me? Who are you, mirror girl? Why are you there where my face should be?
Cant ForgetIt's not the being aloneIt's the lonlinessThat eats my soul when I'm away from you. It's not the place I'm atIt's the emptynessThat makes me do the thing I do. You'll never know how much I need you.I'll work 'till the day is throughTo keep you from my mind.No matter what I doI think of you.Remember how kisses feelRemember hands on my skin.I try but cant forgetIn my mind you're there.It's not the being aloneIt's the lonlinessThat eats my soul when I'm away from you. It's not the place I'm atIt's the emptynessThat makes me do the thing I do. You'll never know how much I need you.I'll run 'till I fall
four wallsI know these four wallsI built them.I know these four wallsKnow these ancient blood stainsThe blood was mine.I know these four wallsKnow the smooth partsWashed by a thousand tearsThe tears were mine.I know these four walls.I know these four wallsKnow the false comfortKnow the deceptive peaceOnce found inside.I know these four wallsKnow the pain they lock insideThe pain they breed.I know these four wallsI built them.Set me free.
