when all is said and done
a passion i have
since when does passion mean a thing
compassionate and totally swallowed up
enveloped in a big waste of time

so much effort so much time
thrown away and now it seems to me
that i've been wasting my time
wasting my life for something that doesn't mean a thing

it means the world to me
but the world is nothing anymore
the ground i walk on
air i breathe could all just leave
and i'd be fine

things that i hold dear
material things that are easily destroyed
possessions that i cherish
precious things that i love
mean nothing to you

but thats what makes us so unique
you have your things and i have mine
in this world there is never true love
theres only physical attraction

we want the biggest
most expensive things money can buy
and i've got nothing but still
i'm satisfied even if you aren't

i may not be the best
but i love everything i do
everything i say and every word
written on this paper for your eyes to see
but from my heart

and your opinion may say
that i'm just wasting my time
but in this duration i feel at ease
i feel like the world is coming together
and when its over i know its not

this world may never be clean
it may always be a mess
but no matter how bad it gets
i'll always do things the best way i can

and i know it may mean nothing
i know my efforts may amount to shit
at least i tried
i had the courage to throw caution to the wind

and the wind is blowing rather hard now
it may come flying back at me
and if it does and if i die
at least i know i died trying..

its not always the strong that survive

Fourth of July
the stars explode in your eyes
i watch the fireworks
fourth of july
a day i will never forget

a look i once saw in your eyes
now where has it gone
its left me here
just like yesterday

i lay down and close my eyes
i see you there
but its not you
its just how i pictured you

an empty frame holds up the wall
it would fall if i took it down
i see your face inside
reflecting off of mine

my arms welcome you
a welcome mat placed at my door
wipe off your feet
come inside

am i talking to myself again
i'm staring at the wall
it just listens
theres no reply

i kissed your lips
saw you out the door
i never thought
you wouldn't return

if i would have known
i wouldn't have let you go
into that night
with no chance to say goodbye

so farewell my angel
try not to stain your wings
i'll see you again
someday

maybe sunday
i'm all dressed in black
monday seems so far away
without you here

i wait and watch the clock
time ticks by
i sit
i wait for you

come inside
wipe off your feet
fourth of july
fireworks light up my sky

waiting around
the hands on the wall
they slowly crawl
they almost seem to stop

but when you are here
we can't even hold on
it flies by so fast
why can't i make it stop

i touch you
you close your eyes
i kiss you
you close them tighter

i see you out the door
let me know when you make it home
i'm still waiting
yesterday, hours away

a ringing in my ears
it doesn't stop just never stops
i wait and still
no reply

maybe someday i'll hear your voice
see your face and feel you again
maybe sunday
but there's still no reply

the skye's end
seems like you're a million miles away
but with just one touch i hear you
and i see you inside my polaroid color picture
theres your face, same as before

i am here and you are there
somewhere near the sky's end
where the sun never sets
and you will never be cold again

the memories stain my thoughts
i clear my hear and try to wash them out
but it just isn't enough your smell is on my skin
and i can't wash it off of my hands

the July sun sets to an August moon
i wait by the staircase to try to see you
but the sky's end is in the way
if only it was yesterday

the sky's end holds everything i love
and i cherish you no matter where you are
knowing that i hope that you will see
that distance means nothing to me

miles upon miles oceans and mountains
nothing could ever stand in the way
miles upon miles day after day
nothing could ever stand in the way

all bets are off all bets are off fallen but i'm still not giving up the odds are against me but still i feel i can make it through this mess thats in my way the streets all look the same i can't read the writings on the wall nearsightedness is to blame and i can't find my way home houses fall where they may landed all in a row picket fences painted white lined up one by one i'd like to finish what i've started but that seems near impossible hundred foot high fences in the way i can barely see the top and i know i can't make that climb fall, and where i land would you be there to catch me reassuring me that everything will some day be O.K. and failing won't seem as bad as it did, this time next year and a year from now you'll still be there for me arms opened wider than ever before i know its hard to tell i know its hard to say whats on your mind i feel the same way as you do right now a constant stream of thought by the time i say one word the rest just leaves me behind juggling my vowels and my consonants i can't make out leave me here but not for too long the sun is going down i don't want it to set on all we have or all we don't have this impression it will last a lifetime i would try to change it but its no use it can't be changed the future holds nothing and the present has held little and the past held everything now all i have are memories placed in my hand photographs of nothing of everything of times that are lost my paradise is now an old dirt field i once called home as a child this place that i spent endless summer days they all ended and now i'm left with nothing cuts and bruises on my legs gave my skin the color it has and now the color is slowly fading and now i'm left with the memory engraved in my heart forever held in my head i wait.. for the sun to rise the early morning haze takes me home to a place i once knew not too long ago the summer days will never leave me alone again.. alone is where i want to be beside myself i'll save you a seat as my problems grow you'll be there to cut them down all alone lost and still knowing where i am the compass faces north but i know i'm heading south and now, i know all bets are off e-mail me minutes vs miles diamonds line the highway i drive on tonight i have you there by my side the air is cold out there but i have you to keep me warm the map is missing pages and i don't know where we are but something tells me inside we will make it home just fine and miles, they equal minutes and the minutes are running low but the miles seem to go on and on for sometime, maybe forever the sun slowly rises i have been driving all night looking back on it now it all just seems a blur speed limits slow us down we've got one mile to go i tell you i am so anxious i just can't wait for one more minute i don't know about you but i never knew you to be the type who likes to carpool at night e-mail me			Fourth of July the stars explode in your eyes i watch the fireworks fourth of july a day i will never forget a look i once saw in your eyes now where has it gone its left me here just like yesterday i lay down and close my eyes i see you there but its not you its just how i pictured you an empty frame holds up the wall it would fall if i took it down i see your face inside reflecting off of mine my arms welcome you a welcome mat placed at my door wipe off your feet come inside am i talking to myself again i'm staring at the wall it just listens theres no reply i kissed your lips saw you out the door i never thought you wouldn't return if i would have known i wouldn't have let you go into that night with no chance to say goodbye so farewell my angel try not to stain your wings i'll see you again someday maybe sunday i'm all dressed in black monday seems so far away without you here i wait and watch the clock time ticks by i sit i wait for you come inside wipe off your feet fourth of july fireworks light up my sky waiting around the hands on the wall they slowly crawl they almost seem to stop but when you are here we can't even hold on it flies by so fast why can't i make it stop i touch you you close your eyes i kiss you you close them tighter i see you out the door let me know when you make it home i'm still waiting yesterday, hours away a ringing in my ears it doesn't stop just never stops i wait and still no reply maybe someday i'll hear your voice see your face and feel you again maybe sunday but there's still no reply
