Some day you'll come back and be my lady
Till then see the world's big city lights
You told me you're curious in knowing
What keeps me lying awake at night
Keep saying you've changed and such
I just don't see it that much
'Cause you've still got that same old soul that I have known and loved
Finding new ways to be refinished
But your beauty cannot be diminished
I know that my thoughts aren't going cuckoo
'Cause everyone feels the same way about you
The only changes I see
Are just millimeters deep
And this isn't a tug of war I could ever concede
Some day you'll come back and be my lady
This heartache will make sense in hindsight
For now we're just victims of our distance
Communicating through satellites
My affection will not wane
The pleasure's worth all the pain
I'll still love you tomorrow, babe, and every other day

Treading Minefields

You're walking through minefields on tips of your toes
Just hoping and praying that they don't explode
Treading such dangerous grounds
Thinking there's treasure to be found
Now everyone here's looking so alarmed
Keeping safe distance and watching from far
We've called out our pleas to you
With no luck in getting through
We've begged that you leave the lands you tread
We don't know why you've ignored signs you've read
I can hardly guess what is going through your head
Your walks in the shadowlands seem so in vain
Your time in those places will leave you in pain
There's no gold for miles around
Just darkness and danger abound
No queen's out there wearing her sparkling gown
No princess is waiting to bring you your crown
I don't like to tell you you're wrong
But please come back where you belong
We've begged that you leave the lands you tread
We don't know why you've ignored signs you've read
But at this point there's been little left unsaid

Diary of An Insomniac

I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick of spending nights wishing I had something to do
I'm tired, I'm tired, tired of not having aspirations to pursue
I'm sick of fearing the truth that will transpire
But more than all of that I'm just sick of feeling uninspired
I've been told to be myself but myself doesn't exist
Well I wanna be a little bit of that and a little bit of this
I want some traits of hers and some traits of his
But when I put them together they just don't seem to mix
Sometimes I feel like a vampire slayer
Working to rid the world of hate and despair
But in the blink of an eye those thoughts all change
And I tell myself I just fan the flames
Maybe my remedy is to write a melancholy melody
And maybe my remedy is to realize some things weren't meant for me
I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick of spending nights thinking I've got something to prove
I'm tired, I'm tired, tired of not knowing any universal truth
I'm sick of seeing these frauds being admired
But more than all of that I'm just sick of feeling so expired
