I stand in the rain to hide my tears
I stand in the sunlight to stem my fears
I run away afraid of of facing me
I look in the mirror and sadly see me
Help me when I fall
Hold me when I cry
Love me while I'm here
Morn me when I die

Cut

Cut
Cut to the core
How much more
Must I endure
Stripped
And ripped
Ripped right appart
I wonder now
Do I even have a heart

The Sixteenth Dream

In a world not my own, visions come to me of home.
Of a place I've never known,
but still hold dear.

I see it in my head, and in all the books I've read.
The message clearly said:
It is near

Yet I find it has been tainted, by those whom I've aquainted
Even those that painted,
Painted in fear

Still I seek it out, and I do not have a doubt
That what it's all about
Is perfectly clear

It is a kingdom undescribed, though many have lied
Some have even died
Just to hear

All the music played, in those walls undecayed
However those that strayed
Disappear

Into darkness unrelenting, violent and tormenting
Agonising yet preventing
Them to reappear

To that world quite splended, to those they've offended
But they find it now defended,
By sword gun and spear.

What fools they were to flee, they now rot in misery
A vast barren sea,
With no pier

While others point and mock, of the fools trapped at the dock
Even though they'd flock
I'd shed a tear

That those now lost, oh how they were tossed
For such a little cost
I cannot jeer

Though this city great and grand, in all its elegance may stand
Those they repremand
Find it insincere

I think of this great city, oh so tall and pretty
But it's not a pity
It's not here

For all its great splendor, I would rather that they rendor
A people much more tender
That don't sneer

I dream about it distant, though quite reminiscent
I doubt that I have missed it
Though I peer

To something I cannot see, yet I think that it must be
Calling out for someone like me
To believe....

Point

Here I stand, petrified
To live as I should live
Thinking of the times I've nearly died
How much more must I give
The sun, it shines in on my face
It warms me to the core
Yet I cannot escape this place
My life has become a bore
Thinking of the joys I've known
All the thing's I've done
In this past year how I've grown
But here I am, still no one
When will my time run dry
And do I want to see
Will anyone even wonder why
Will they remember me.

Hold the Night.

Everytime I hold the night
I hold it in my heart
I dread the coming of the dawn
Why must a new day start?
Can't we stay like this forever?
Why can't I keep you here with me?
I close my eyes for just a moment
And somehow the sun has found me
I don't want you to go away
But every dawn you're gone
I want to stay with you forever
but I just can't seem to hold on
So I sit and torment myself
For letting you slip away
Stuck to bare the misery
Of facing another day

Try to be patient Christine

How can they not see
he means the world to me
Why must they interfere
and stop him being so near
How can they just not know
that this is not their show
Now I long for the day
when they will all just go away!

In dreams of Yesterday

Music playing everywhere
Flowers and dancing
Not a care
Magic and lights
Endless fun
Myrth dressed with mayhem
Smiles on everyone
A spring in my step
And a beat in my heart
A song on the breeze
An acting part
A glow on my face
That wouldn't fade away
A love unforgotten
In dreams of yesterday.
