"you know i tried"

just told me you're leaving

i had just walked in the room

it's a freezing cold morning

this moment's come too soon

you've been staring out the window

looking for a reason to stay

as if you didn't already know

you've decided to fly away

i tried to catch your every tear

chase away your every fear

i tried to give you everything you wanted

i still remember dancing there

promised you to meet somewhere

i still remember every word you whispered

you know i tried

you told me your every dream

and everything you hoped for too

it was all too good it seems

i couldn't make it all come true

we've been growing apart

though i tried to hold you close

i never knew it would be this hard

but i've got to let you go

i tried to catch your every tear

chase away your every fear

i tried to give you everything you wanted

i still remember dancing there

promised you to meet somewhere

i still remember every word you whispered

you know i tried

i know i hurt you with the things i said and didn't say

i know i'm gonna think about it every second every day

"slow dance"

just to break the silence

just to hear you speak

all the thoughts i've given

you stare blankly at me

what you'd expect of me is already real

if you could ask of me to change how i feel

i don't want to live like this

holding my breath as you hold yours

i don't remember what i've missed

yet we're still here to face our fears

this slow dance won't end

just to feel connected

just to feel alive

words that we've regretted

even struggling to fight

what we shared is already gone

its been faded for far too long

i don't want to live like this

holding my breath as you hold yours

i don't remember what i've missed

yet we're still here to face our fears

this slow dance won't end

emotions have no meaning

when we face detachment

we could go on dreaming

this slow dance would never end

I step forward and you step back

just close your eyes and relax

i don't want to live like this

holding my breath as you hold yours

i don't remember what i've missed

yet we're still here to face our fears

this slow dance won't end

"granted"

i never thought i'd be a sinner

i thought i knew the taste of hunger

i always thought i'd know better

than to take it all for granted

i couldn't imagine being all alone

nothing to share, no place to call a home

i always shut my eyes, said "i don't want to see"

i should have known

that's the life that we know

that's the life that we've been granted

if they could see it from our point of view

if we could see it from their point of view

if we'd remember the lives we've been granted

if we could see the lives we've been granted

to forgive the sins, you could be the first

before we all die from this thirst

if we don't ask ourselves what we're fighting for

it can only get worse

if we could see ourselves

see what we've done

see what we could do

if they could see it from our point of view

if we could see it from their point of view

if we'd remember the lives we've been granted

if we could see the lives we've been granted

Finally...

I've started a blog.  This is where i'll be posting my random music, art projects, videos, and course my thoughts.  Be warned that my opinions may be misguided, biased, offensive, ignorant, or maybe just plain incorrect.  I guess that is the point of blogs and the internet isn't it?
