And as I lay, alone at night
I stare through all of you, to show me what to do
but petals start to fall, off rosy trees
they'll all aprinlle down, and try to succeed.

I alone began to sing, live song out loud,
when whispered these words, they all turn around
they'll say they didn't hear, inside their hearts will tear
wilting, and all began to fall.

The wind will catch their fall, gently as they're brought around
closer and closer, till they hit the ground
and life will run its course, and you'll all begin to see
tears of rejoice, and I'll tell you to just \"fly\" away
to the great unknown.

And as I lay, alone at night
I dream that someday, you all reach the light.
And when you're all alone, I hope you'll think of me
my petal will fall, and then I can see
how to \"fly\" awat,to the great unkonwn
how to \"fly\" away. for the love of god.

Midnight Dreamer

I shake and stir
sweat breaks my skin
and nightmarish thoughts
bounce around in my head

I awake in a gasp
I cannot cease breathing
as the nightmares of tonight
gallop away from morning light

Memories

People will come and go
As life smoothly flows.
We will make new friends
Until life ends.

But we'll never forget
Our closest friends
And we'll soon regret
All those special words we did not say.

When we look to the sky
Or down at the ground
We'll remember why
We tried to keep in touch.

We kept in touch for a bit
And don't know why
Our pact to stay in touch
Has failed again
