Butterfly

A butterfly fell down and broke a wing
and all the air rushed out
But it's not a break, it's more a twist and then a slide
and all the air rushed out...
If you want me to I'll burn
If you want me to I'll bleed for you
I give myself to you
Because I love you
So I cupped my hands and cradled you inside
All the air rushed out...
To wait for the day we'll spread our wings and fly

Sounds Like Sunday

Watch your mouth, all your sins will be blessed if you trust and follow your heart
Hold your tongue, because the truth has a way of finding it's way out.
Over and over, I tried to let you know
But you keep on coming back for more
Watch your step, careful you don't fall
Sometimes the ground rolls around and starts dragging you down to the floor
Take a look around see what's left in store
When you get kicked down get up and fight some more
Over and over, I tried to let you know
But you keep on coming back for more there's nothing that my heart wants more
Over and over I tried to let you go.

Like a moth to a flame or some sick twisted game
You just couldn't leave him alone
He's the trophy you've won can't you see what's to come?
You're kicking me out of my throne
It's the Emperor's new clothes
There are highs and some lows
But there's one thing you're too blind to see
When you kick off your robes you'll find you're alone
It's too late to turn back for home
The emperor looks into the mirror and smiles,
"These robes are the best I have seen"
But she's so blind she just sees what she's aching to see
Appearance has tricked her once more
You walk through the town
Watch your subjects all watch the ground
Does she know that she's been fooled again
When the deal of the century becomes the hand offs you lent me
Then you'll know you never should have strayed from me

Home

Streetlights on my way back home never seem to shine
You will never find me there I’m never on time
Only when you’re on your own do you come alive
Hiding up yourself now, where will you hide?
You’ll never get home from this place
Now you’re safe and sound inside you’re never going to change
Always sit by that fireside with thoughts you can rearrange
Never think where he is now, he never cared for you
You never needed him nearby and he never needed you
You’ll never get home from this place
Nothing ever changes and nothing stays the same
and I’m home

I write songs, play guitar and sing.
Sometimes I play the fool.
