Wish-You-The-Best

I've been on a lot of roads Most don't have this many forks I can't tell the my backs breaking from the load I can tell this is starting to begin I can tell you're getting older The wrinkles under your eyes Say that your soul is holding her Let go, stop spreading lies Oh, Oh oh. I've been on a lot of roads They never had any forks My back's breaking from the load I can't see the end so clear I can see you were young once From the stars in your eyes You say your soul had balance Then just give her the truth You don't love her any more I don't know if any, are keeping score But the tally is up and high She's going to die In

I'm not gonna burry you with it Stage fright only lasts a few nights And when the water (comes down) of the world comes down It will extinguish the lights Times up and the stage is fleeting Games done and any one left ain't worth meeting I could stay and live in the past But any good memories aren't the ones that last I think that matches are affordable From what I hear all the bridges have a fee And the rivers aren't ignorable I can tell most everyone in this world wants to drown me This world is gonna drown me In my own insanity (You see) I can hear a tick tick tock Of the great grandfather clock All varnished and content

Every one's gotta wake up tomorrow All I gotta do is sleep Everyone has a watch on And they all have some where to be Now, I don't have anywhere to go And I don't have any place to call home so I'll just sit on the corner hope someone will notice That this hell where I sit just doesn't come free I've paid the price, mine was my integrity. I've spent all my time trying to curse the devil The one who did this all to me I'll put you on the level I can't curse him cause there ain't a mirror I can see My mind is really the one that's torturing me The doors have all closed and a couple of years ago I would have tried to save face wit

He gave up living some time ago And He's never going to go back home Cause he left and he's never going back to that hell hole Now he wastes away With each and every passing day And No one's brought him the light in quite a while Now everything is getting dark Paranoia plays his mind like a harp And the monsters in his closet are creeping out- -And they say Come and play Come and play They say And a girl she said "you can make yourself True on any blank page more than a book that's on a shelf" But he has doubts about the words she put in his life She couldn't live with him any more And he screams at his ghosts and at his s

I remember my place as we waltzed in a crystal ballroom made of marble and stone that echoed when you sang Sing with me Your voice bounced off the walls to sound as if thousands of voices were near close at hand and heart Slow dances As eyes connected, and conjoined to hear the sound of movement to feel your voice in the steps we took to match the music and nothing else all alone I'll feel tonight as the slow dance by me without your melody To step without you and your echo grassing across the room Anger, Upset, Weak The things I couldn't help (The power I lacked to help you help yourself I could feel it that night in

You are my candle I hope I lighted your flame I'll let it grow tall When I feel your wax Start to melt and diminish I'll simply hold you Help carry the spark Infuse life into the fire Once again, feel warm Turn to the old wax Wonder if I saved you Or changed it all For better or worse I'll keep it lit through the dark So we may reach  Day

We shared kin, bread and sweat But those were different days How were mere words supposed to faze My brother And If I pass unexpectedly I want you to know We ain't Brothers no more I've given in to loving her The trouble was it was something new And you forced me to be number two Now girl, you've made me all blue But If I pass unexpectedly I want you to know We ain't Lovers no more

Oxidize me, leave me to rust I can turn red just fine, Cause I don't trust Anyone with broken arms around them Loneliness is a weakness and you're the source for both Look in the mirror Forget your name No one cared much any way The rain will ruin your make up, girl So, cry first, then you'd have an excuse Laugh and maybe You'll get to numb the pain It's the best medicine, they say Or stay cold, and maybe someone will care Just sit listening to non-sense It's all you've been good at Puzzles don't solve them selves You're always looking for a puzzle Never a solution, but who needs one (And who needs you) It's always been si

Losing yourself in the music Swallow me up Forget this pathetic past Make this feeling last Keep me Safe Alone I've been pessimistic But nostalgic Holding on to trinkets Hanging on my wall Make me feel 10 feet tall Keep me Warm Naive Turn a blind eye To that dribble On the page It'll make sense one day Speak, this spoken word Today there's something new to be heard And most would say what I write or how I feel is absurd Most of them can go burn They are just sheep in the heard Falling off the cliff isn't for me I'm the one that breaks free Keep me Original Singular

It's hard to look bruised when your blood no longer pumps I know I know Just how beautiful you are Deep beneath the skin I can't tell you these things Because your shoulder froze me before I know I know That Truth isn't our friend because the boat has sunk and you're lost within and you have capsisied my weary heart I know I know How hard it has been to be on the outside looking in
