"Scarlet Tears"

Scarlet was a princess
In her castle by the sea
All eyes were always on her
Yet never was she seen.

She always wore long sleeves
To hide where she had bled,
Mascara always water-proof
To hide the tears she'd shed.

She'd throw on the tiara
That blasted out her tunes
And drown out all the world,
Just to come back too soon.

The pixies' dust intrigued her,
They said they'd make a deal,
Not the kind she wanted,
But it'd seemed to be a steal.

She breathed that rueful dust
Hid it behind some shelves;
You see, her dad was also sad,
But she wanted it all for herself.

Scarlet's heart was damaged,
As her name implied.
Yet, despite what people might think,
She didn't want to die.

Merely to heal,
For all should know,
There has to be darkness
For something to glow.

Scarlet was a princess
In her castle by the sea;
I guess being a princess
Ain't all it's cracked up to be.

~sing to me
about the end of the world
end of these hammers and needles for you
we'll cry tonight
but in the morning we are new
stand in the sun
we'll dry your eyes

hold on to the world we all remember fighting for
there's some trength left in us yet

hold on to the world we all remember dying for
there's some hope left in it yet~

I want to cry sometimes.
I really do.
These people I love...
I'm never going to see them again.
And it's their fault.
When they die...they ain't going to heaven.
And that only leaves one place...
And I want to cry, 'cause I know that at least half my friends are going to a place where they'll burn to death everyday.
All because they won't LISTEN to me.
And they call ME close-minded...

~And nothing feels right, not right now
Like I've lost my mind somehow...
I'm scaring myself
I don't know the girl in the mirror now
I'm burning up
So I look to the world outside
Oh, all of a sudden, I'm eating my insides...
The tiny words that break your heart...
They're breaking and entering.
So I look, but you're not by my side
Oh, what ever happened to I would rather die?
The things that make you fall apart...
They're breaking and entering~

If there ever comes a day, where your sitting at home, not sure what to say, can't find your phone, you've got a hole in your chest, where your heart use to be, the worlds spinning so fast, you can't even see, when it all started, we were so happy, until she crushed your heart, without any mercy, now your just sitting around, and as anyone can see, you are broken hearted, nothing ever comes easily, and as time passes, the pain is no less, your entire life, is one big mess, what you need to learn, is to never give up, keep moving on, and never stop, the right one will come, and stand by your side, to never let you down, and fill you with pride, it's then that you know, that you've found the one, the one that you'll love, till the end of time.

~What is happening to me?
Crazy some would say
Where is the life I recognize?
Gone away

And I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somewhere I have to find...
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world...
I will learn to survive.

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
Pride will tear us both apart
Well now pride's gone out the window
Cross the rooftops, run away
Left me in the vacuum of my heart~

~I lit a fire with the love you left behind
It burned wild and crept up the mountain side
I followed your ashes into outer space
I can't look out the window, I can't look at this place...
I can't look at the stars
They make me wonder where you are
Stars, up on heaven's boulevard
And if I know you at all, I know you've gone too far
So I...I can't look at the stars...
All those times we looked up at the sky
Looking out so far, we felt like we could fly...
Now I'm all alone in the dark of night
The moon is shining, but I can't see the light~

~'cause they are dragging the faith out of me
it was not for the taking
look, the vultures are perching...
'cause they are dragging the faith out of me,
everything i believed in
look out in the waters, they're lurking~

~Lost belief in, love's decieving
Always going went gone
Poison my sight while you kiss me goodnight
In the happyland-
Money makes the world go round
People will be people always
Baby, what comes up comes down-
Thought things would change
But I'm deranged
It's just another Saturday night
Come, watch me drown
Get whats left at the lost and found~

~They say don't waste your time,
You simply cannot find
An ounce of good within the heart of man,
They say don't raise your voice,
'Cause we don't have a choice
We've dealt this hand so learn to live with it-
But I have to believe, there must be something more...
No, the heart is not too far gone to save,
Oh, grace tells another story
Where glory sends hopelessness away,
Oh, grace tells us another story~

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
- Mother Theresa

~I am wasted, losing time
I'm a foolish, fragile spine
I want all that is not mine-
I want him, but we're not right
In the darkness I will meet my Creator
And we will all agree that I'm a suffocator
I should go now, quietly
For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep
Where all my layers can become reeds;
Where all my limbs can become trees;
Where all my children can become me-
What a mess I leave
To follow...
To follow...
In the darkness I will meet my Creator
And we will all agree that I'm a suffocator
Oh no...
I'm sorry if I smothered you
I'm sorry if I smothered you...~
