Need Fix

Lets take five thousand oceans and seventeen storms
Throw them into me, see who I'll be
I find so much comfort in the eternal sleep
Peace in the lull of never coming back
I wish I could put a name to every little flit
Could be fixed

Goodnight

Sometimes I say things
Just because I don't want to stop talking to you
Or I don't want you to stop listening
And I cant let myself say anything that's not worthwhile
So I end up telling you my deepest fears
The frights that plague me at night when I am at my weakest
The things that seem silly in broad day light
But in the dark beneath they grow and take hold and keep me dreading when I'm alone
I just want you to hear me and reassure me
The one I wake up to to tell me it's alright

Don't Know Me

I don't want the pressure of that one perfect step
That everyone thinks I will take
For it would be strange that I chose it
Lest I choose to reject
For me there seems no option of forgive and forget
It's the right way or the wrong way
For the later I dearly pay

There have been scriptures of passionate love
Written on hidden walls and world screens
And I'm afraid I'll miss it whether or not I walk away

So I beg all that is above me
Let it be, let it be
There is disaster in failing and I don't know if I could clean up

I beg you for adventure, lovely sensuality, and grace

Falling

I am a falling tree
Holding on to that sinking feeling
I wouldn't ever be able to forgive myself that regret
That I know would come 3 seconds before crashing, burried 7 feet into the earth
So I'll stay away from the drive-over-the-edge
Wait it out, careening very slowly
