Puppets

People always change their ways
People always talk away
Maybe they should just walk away,

People always seem to care
Emotionally attach their hearts
But their hearts are no good anyway
Their hearts are cold and made of stone

People never know
No never really know
How life can bite,
Lie, and drag you from your only light
But one day they'll know
One day they'll turn around and see they are all alone
There is no one there
They just left things bare

People always declare
That they are ready for whatever
That's going to come their way
But you just don't sit there
And pretend that this is all a game
Maybe they should get their facts straight

These days, everybody is the same
They think for them selves- that will never change
Inside they are the same
Yeah inside they don't care
If you wait for them,
They'll never come
If you wait,
You're just losing in this game
Don't wait
Coz it's too late

And I'm sick of them thinking its right
Well am I the only one who doesn't see this 'light'?
Well why does my heart have to carry all the pain?
Well why does my heart have to keep it all in
And never whisper a thing?
Keep it inside everyday, shutting it away,
Waiting for it to eventually fade
Well why are there puppets laughing in my face?
Have they no storybook,
To keep them playing happily,
In their fairytale?
Why are they making me look like a puppet on a string?
Now am I one of those with no shame?
Am I one of them who never cared?
Why are there puppets laughing in my face?
 

Another Day

The girl in the street, knows my secret
The boy in the park can read my mind
The high school teacher can predict my future,
And you just waved goodbye

The girl smiles at me everyday
The boy in the park kicks around a ball till sunset
The high school teacher reads my essay,
And you just waved goodbye

The girl's eyes are so forsaken
And the boy's ball is just torn,
And the high school teacher is drowned in coffee
(I think he likes chocolate toffee)
And you just waved goodbye

My best friends says, "Hey, don't worry"
And the girl in the street looks really sorry,
The boy is sitting on the park bench, and shouts out "hi!"
The high school teacher is fully in thought
And my best friend says, "He's such a worm",

The girl is now in tears; I wonder what she fears,
And the boy's face is just a disgrace
The high school teacher tired and hurt
I left my best friend alone

The girl has regained herself,
Says she is back with her boyfriend, and he's taking her out
The boy's face has still not changed; (I think he feels out of place),
The high school teacher on the other hand
Has car, it might even be a Jaguar
And my best friend still hangs around
But you just waved goodbye

It's gone midnight,
And I see no girl in the street
I miss the boy's face,
And those stupid things he used to make me believe,
The high school teacher is probably asleep
My best friend is thinking
She's met the person of her dreams
I can't show emotion, or even weep
Coz you just waved goodbye,
Said those last words, and made me sigh.

Passing Strangers

Someone walks by,
You see a tear roll out of their eyes
Plain words can't describe
What that person feels everyday inside
Plain words can't heal their hearts

And even in their imagination
They're not happy anymore
All is so darkened
All has turned so ugly
And there is no one brave enough
To save them
It's become so ordinary

You see these people everyday
You see their disturbed faces
Tied in knots and
Endless thoughts they can't embrace
They can't begin to make it right
They have to fight
But they don't see the light,
They don't see
The bliss of sunrise
It's all the same in their eyes
They've been blinded
By the darkness around them
Every night

And you want to give them hope,
And light
You want to save them
From their miserable lives
But it's impossible to try
It's hard to figure out
What exactly goes
Through their minds,

You begin to see through their eyes
But what you see does not help you
To make it right
It just adds pain
And makes the one thing sane
Go wild

And they just hide
Fears looked up inside
Who can find the key to this secret heart?
Have you never thought why?
People never stop by?

Well now they can't stop to decide
If their life's are worthwhile
No, they're thinking of leaving
They think it's about time
For them to say their goodbye's

Someone walks by,
You see a tear roll out of their eyes
Plain words can't describe
What that person feels everyday inside
Plain words can't heal their hearts
They need far stronger words within

Plain words can't cure the disease in their minds
Plain words cannot restore lost faith
The space is too wide.

Someone walks by
Hoping for a hand to reach
And take hold of their hearts
But only tears flow from their eyes
But only pain seems to have stayed faithful,
Even after all this time

But only.
If only.
Paradise wasn't so hard to find
Passing strangers would be all right

No End

Is it just me today?
Or does quietness seem something to hate
Is it just the way things are going
Or does my heart sing a different tune since yesterday?
Coz it�s just getting harder to breathe
And your departure is growing steadily on me
Till I see, just how deep I can be

Where is your heart?
Did it sink dark?
You pulled me away
Just as I wanted to say
That I will never see an end
To all the games we play

Is it the light? That shines differently?
Is it the night, which seems ugly?
Or is it my eyes, that fool me, to believe
That you left me in peace?
Still you�ve come back to take a piece of me
Why can�t you just leave?
And let me sleep
Coz I�m tired of you and me

Where is your heart?
Did it sink dark?
You pulled me away
Just as I wanted to say
That I will never see an end
To all the games we play

Once upon a time, there was a song we wrote
And sang it in our sleep
Till we couldn't be any higher
then what we would have been,
Nothing can change what you mean to me
But my heart had too be set free
Opened up from your lock and key
And this is the end that I see

Where is your heart?
Did it sink dark?
You pulled me away
Just as I wanted to say
That I will never see an end
To all the games we play
