lithium

i don't want to lock me up
i don't want to forget who i am
but the darkness has embraced me so

i want to let it go
where shall i find the light
lying here alone i cry
the emptiness within me

can you fill it

can you warm this coldness within me
am i mad
why does these voices tell me to run

why can i not fight
my sorrow overflows
tears trace the grown as i run
can i make it
will he find me

can i break free of me myself
can i defeat my worst enemy
will the demons inside me
be sated with the blood of my enemy
can i do it

to not exist
will the light burn
can i be held in the light
will there be a place for me
can i let this all go

break free of these chains
chains of woe, hate, anger
can his arms bring me solace

songbird

I once saw as an innocent song bird
needing to be released from her cage
Beauty, exotic something no one should possess
Untarnished was my view of you
my little songbird

But now your cage has been broken
your beauty became my undoing
through the world you soared
feathers growing dark

innocence no longer revels within you

habits of evil and dirty deeds
carcass from carcass you soar
soon i realize you were no songbird
you were a crow- a crow disguised
what to do i think

my beloved songbird
i let you go-yet threw a lovers glassy eyes
i watch wishing for the caged songbird of long ago
