Dry On My Skin

January 28th, 2008

You push me away
Then you pull me back in
I can’t get you out of my head
When you’re under my skin
This game that you’re playing
Is so unfair
But as long as you’re happy
I don’t care
Though you’re moving on
And I hold my feelings in
The tears form in my eyes
Then they dry on my skin
You put me back together
Just to rip me apart
And you know what you’re doing
You’re toying with my heart
And why you’re doing this
I only wish I knew
Because I know that you know
All I want is you

She’s Lost (Dan’s Song)

May 6th, 2007

She’s sitting there alone and waiting
This world’s just something so degrading

And she’s lost
Confused
Misplaced
Been used
And she cannot find her place
So she’s losing it
All she has is gone
And she’s fading
Today will be the day she loses you

And every time she hears your name
She holds it in thinking she’s the one to blame

So she’s angry
Forgetting
Holding in
And regretting
And she cannot find her face
In the mirror anymore
All she has is gone
And she’s fading
Today will be the day she misses you

She knows this will always have her heart
But she is ready to restart

She was lost
Confused
Misplaced
Was used
And she could not find her place
She was losing it
All she had was gone
She was fading
Today was the day she lost you

So she’s lonely
Forgetting
Holding in
And accepting
But she cannot find her place
In this world anymore
All she had is gone
But she’s growing
Today is the day she’s moving on

My old neighbor (Dan) and I occasionally worked on music together. One day he was struggling to come up with lyrics for a song he was working on, sent me this clip, and this was what I sent him back.

Reflected

September 27th, 2005

I want to wake up and know everything’s okay
Instead — I just slip away
Into the blackness of my heart
The closer the light, the farther apart
In the corner of my eyes I can see
The moving of my life as it’s dragging along me
In the mirror is my reflection
And in its heart is your rejection
All of my pain is reflected from me
None of it they can see
It’s all about my shattered heart
Thousands of pieces all fallen apart
