Corpses of Midnight's Glow
Tell me.. am I a vague memory, love? Because damn it, I'm tired of holding it in. Your kiss was the best thing I ever had. And wasn't it written in the stars that our paths cross? Surely not for no reason, dear. Even your closed eyes may see it so. I've closed my eyes long enough. While we laid to rest, side by side in denial, I thought on it for some time. And as this music plays, before it is too late, I've opened my eyes again. I've brushed the leaves off, doll, risen from my grave. Smoothed my hair and decided it was time. A million paths before me, I'll walk any of them with you. So I hold out my hand to rub your eyes awake and lift you up again.
In a whisper.. Take my hand, love.. We'll run away tonight.. Forget the circumstances.. the reasons to say no.. You can take me anywhere, anywhere. Because to anywhere I'll follow.. Let's run into the moonlight, our corpses come to life.. And in the glow of midnight.. We'll live again in love.
Two shadows dot the limelight and in the end, it had been so. He took here to anywhere.. And to anwhere she'd followed....

Crash
Everything's crashing down
I find myself stunned by the sound of this
Misery that's washing you out
Everything's falling through
I find myself lying awake thinking of you and your
Apathy that I've taken on now
And I don't know how I got here
Or if I can hear anymore
Of these always repetitive pretexts
And something just doesn't feel right
Something I've tried to define for
So long
And maybe tonight is the night
I'll find the strength I need to stay here,
Or move on

Daily Dose
Sneaking out the back door, everybody knows
Murder weapon on the floor, or just a daily dose
Little orange bottle, capped in white, like snow
Or is she up against a kitchen knife, too scared to let go?
Busy during classes, with more than arithmetic
Counting bite-sized mistakes, making herself sick
Out again all night with boys that you don't know
Selling off her rights so that they can take her home
Cigarettes against the lips of a sin in progress, you know
Not quite right in her skin, she just needs her daily dose
Yeah, she's sneaking out the back door again- everyone knows but you
Because if you were ever around for her.. you might see it, too

Dancing With A Dream
Shes dancing with her eyes closed in an empty moonlit room,
Over in a corner where the light is shining through.
And isnt she so beautiful with that light beaming in her eyes?
So innocent and sweet.. Shell be gone before the sunrise.
Shes singing with the crickets.. And dancing in the wind
She stands longingly by the water.. But knows she cannot swim.
So she lightly steps beyond this earth, and in an instant she is gone.
She, the piercing melody in every dream and unsung song.
So should you ever hear her melody, know this, that it is rare.
And when you go to dream at night.. Perhaps youll see her there.
