When I reach beyond myself 

I'm amazed at what I find 

There's a world outside of me 

So much anger, so much rage 

When I reach beyond myself 

Overwhelmed and afraid 

There's a world bigger than me 

And I just take it in.

Wiser

When I see you, I see my own face

I want to save you from yourself

What could I do?

What could I say?

It’s a downward spiral

I don’t know what causes sorrow

Or why it has to hurt to learn

But I have had a heart that’s empty

I’ve felt the vacuum nature hates

It’s clear to me

I wish that you could only see it.

Him To Me To you

In this life, if you're at all like me

You'll know just what I mean when I say

There's two types of people

Not all of whom can be trusted

I have seen that there are assholes everywhere

So watch your step, girl

You'll know just what I mean when I say

You keep your nose clean

And push them

Further from you

Further from me

Political

A loose grip on a thin line

Leaves me trailing behind

I know I've far to go

But your steps are too small

Now and again

Take me down a peg

You know I can get so lost

Even if it's true

From anyone but you

Nothing would get through my wall

I lose touch in your goals

It's vertigo

And your words are like

Music to the beast

It's all lights and smoke

It's political

And my grip remains true

Though the line may swerve

I’ll Carry You

How does it feel

To know that you are loved so much?

How does it feel

To be accepted so completely?

How does it feel

To mean everything to someone?

How does it feel

To know that you're exactly what I wanted?

Love you more than you can see

This is everything you are to me

Before There Was Color

It must seem permanent

It must seem important

It must take  all your control

Not to get  obsessive

Just as pain becomes discomfort over time

What the human soul can tolerate is no surprise

I’m rooted to my path

And I’m blinded on the sides

Why is it I feel so? 

I have everything I want 

The stuff of all my dreams

Why is it I need so?

In the same way pain can become humor over time

The scars that time will wash away are no surprise

I know you’re inside

Because I can feel your life

Why is it I bleed so?

And you thought that these times were just ordinary

Oceanwide

All of this love, it overwhelms me

And now you want the distance

Of an ocean between us

I want you to know

That I will not give up on you

I thought that you could meet me half way

Figured that you could

I thought that you could love me

Figured that you'd fall

All of this love, it withers within me

And it's not fair, no, it's not fair

But, you never said it would be

I thought that you would be there

Figured that you would

I Would Love To Give Up

I open my mouth

And words just fly out

And I cannot stop them

I try…

But I am only so much

I would love to give up

You have picked me to the bone

You kick the leg you stand on

I am only so much

And nothing much is left of me

You take more, more, more,

‘Til I’m gone

‘Til I’m good to no one

I open my heart

You tear me apart

And I cannot stop you

You love to point out 

Some stupid thing that I forgot to do

Like I should strive to be you

But I am only so much 

I’m about to give up

You have picked me to the bone

You kick the leg you stand on

I am only so much

Less and less is left of me

You take more, more, more,

‘Til I’m gone

‘Til I’m good to no one

I am only so much

Only I protect me

Will that ever be enough?

I open my eyes

Feeling This Is Like To Fall Awake

Can these be my hands?

Why won't they follow my commands?

Someone took my breath from me

I can't see and I can't speak

I had a dream you were a snake

(I guess this proves I knew you then)

I had a dream where I was falling down

Until I landed under you

Go to hell and leave me with the keys to your car

Delia will drive me through the rain

And it's just like you to pick the perfect time

When I'm already down and there to kick a couple times

You twist everything I said

And everything I did

And everything I thought was mine

(Delia)

I feel like such a fool for having turned to you

I didn't know that you would ever want to be so cruel

But if there is a god

And if god is fair

I know you will suffer
(Delia)

Feeling this is like to fall awake

We Only Love You

This is my third message

It′s the fact

You wont call back

That twists the knife that's in my back

This is my third message

And we do what we love

(This isn′t helping)

This is inexcusable

All our work

All our hope

Vanished in a ball of smoke

Inexcusable

And we do what we love

And we hope without hope

And we mean it

And we weep and we bleed

And we hope and we hope

And we only love you

Hope you feel it

These are the pieces

Of my heart

Of my trust

Of discussion between us

These are the pieces

Arrhythmia

Not broken

Not partly infirm

A fragile reminder to live

Not to be scared when my heart skips

Not to be scared, not to be scared

And all I am is part of you

(Perhaps she is overwhelmed)

And I cannot be apart from you

It’s too much

Not walled-in

Not hidden by veils

All I am is open for view

What will they say when my time comes?

‘She had a good heart.’

Weak, but never broken

And all I am is part of you

(It convinces me I’m alive)

And I cannot be apart from you

It’s too much
