DAY DREAMS
Shh!
Sunlit lace through a window blow's
Tranquil thoughts of long ago
Quietly and gentle
Day dreams will grow
Where Kindred Spirits will laugh and know
>
The sunlit lace through a window blow's
This is the place I always go
Come play with me in times past
But beware- for it will capture your soul
Until the shadows grow cold
You'll get caught in a daydream
And no one will know
Shh!

The up side of a Nervous Breakdown
The kitchen walls were green
They turned black as I started to scream
Through laughter and tears
What does it all mean…
He sat like a stone
Then Son-of a Bitch didn't move a bone
He watched as I went to the Twlight-Zone…
My head was spinning round and round
As I pounded on the wall, the ground
Let me go, don't keep me bound…
There is an up side to this nervous breakdown
No more do I have to say please
No more do I have to drop to my knees
Pop a few pills and I'll be whom I choose
He was the one to lose
Even though there are days
I still have the blues…
The sun is brighter today
I learn to live this life
And I don't have to behave
I just have to be brave
The up side of a nervous breakdown
There's talk all around town
But I don't have to give a damn
I just have to figure out who I am….
It's the up side of a nervous break down…

The Flame Inside
She Was His Judas
He took her love as though it was a game
This witchy woman who knew no shame
She stabbed him in the back
Threw his love into the flame
She went insane…
The fool tried to play her game
Not knowing her rage
Not knowing she would put him in a cage
He was untrue with a blackened heart
Selfish and shrew
But all along she knew
She was his Judas
The end of his game
The end of his name
Don't play with her flames
Black eyes will be your demise
Look very closely inside
This witchy woman has pride
Don't set her aside
Or play with her heart
She look's deep and knows
When a man's deceptive
And suspicion controls
She'll be your Judas
And never look back
Simply walk away with a wicked laugh
At the lack of your knowing
Her heart she'll keep
If she ever catches you cheat
