The Proposition

open your ears i've got a little secret
and i'm not staring at the sun
if i tell you would you be happy
i'll whisper to you then i'll run

there is a shelter from storm
a special place where you reside
it's where i keep my love letters
it is locked up deep down inside

things may have changed
but on my sleeve is my heart
if you want it it's all yours
there could be a brand new start

Without

maybe i could pull it all together
if i could just stop shaking
i don't want another
this whole thing keeps making
me collapse inside

all i want is to feel whole again
i used to be so big and strong
but that was way back then
now i'm lucky to just get along
with myself

i can't outrun this so i just sleep
escaping reality they way i like
it all just hurts too deep
if i could gather my will i just might
move along

Somewhere Warm

i fall into the hearth
kindling me inside
it's no longer dark
i don't have to hide

this feels just like home
this is where i belong
best thing i have known
it all comes on so strong

stars explode in the night
my negatives develop
my insides all alight
i am enveloped

my umbrella in the rain
shields me from my sadness
there's no such thing as pain
wretchedness or madness

and i feel so safe right here
my soul no longer dead
absent is my fear
nothing more needs said
