Is that the best way, to feel this pain?
Put up a blockade, until the bad no longer remains.
I bet there is a better way, to get yourself through this.
Seems like it wasn't long ago that we were together.
Further down the road our paths split, to find our own gold.
You say these choices are there for a reason, to help you grow.
Well I can't stop you, no I won't ever try too, and I just hope in time that we could head back to the places we know.
And crack a couple tasty treats, and know that that's all that we'll ever need.
We'll play some games from our fantasies, and that will be the time for us to grow together.

I want to stay in my dreams all night.
A place where no one can take my light.
A place where I feel alright.
A place where I don't have to try.
A place where echoes ring.
A place where I sound good when I sing.
A place that is clean and warm.
A place where my child will be born
I know I may not find it but it's still out there.
So I will keep on looking and keep on dreaming.
Until I find the Garden of Eden in summertime season and then we will know all the truths, and I will be complete.

We act for our own gains.
No one really saw how much love you gave.
Please don't forget about your friends.
And I'm sorry that I wasn't there at the end.
I'd give everything I have to see you again.

Let's take a few breaths for ourselves.
Let's take some time to disappear.
Keep calm don't fight, and stand down for a minute.
We still have plenty of days left in the year.
I could use some help.
I know there is someone else.
Who feels the same as I do.
Don't be scared, we are here for you.
Patience is far to valuable for its value to lose its worth.
It's hard to say you're not ok when you know that you're not ok.
It's hard to say you're not ok when you know it's not your place to say.

Euphrosine (For Mollie)

Where she goes, where she stays, I will be right by her side.
Lately I feel afraid, I've been spacing for a while.
I'm lost I know, but I'll work and show you I mean everything I say.
I found my light through the darkest times.
Euphrosine, the joy of life, gave me your love.
Euphrosine, when did you take mortal form?
I just want you to see me.
She saw through my cloudy eyes.
She saw right through me.
She saw me smile.
Never had I seen such beauty.
She saw a child, who hadn't taken a step until now.

Cough

I know you.
We just want to breathe, and be surrounded by entities we know and love.
But these don't come free.
Emotions and mucus keep restricting me.
Just want to make it to Sunday.
Just want to make it to Saturday.
Just want to make it to Friday, and sometimes Thursday.
Don't want to get stuck in the past.
Don't want to move forward too fast.
Don't want to let go of what I hold on too.
You just want to be seen, but you say the world is blind.
So quit whining and take some time to show me what you mean.
Don't sit around just cough real loud, because everybody knows that sound.

Drink a little water.
That water so clear.
Keep playing that music.
The music in my ears.
When I hear it in my body I just got to move, and then it feels so good to be here with you.
Smoke a little something, when there's nothing near.
Keep drinking that water, because water is better than tears.
When I get just a little taste of it, I feel like I'm gone but I know that I'm still here.
A bit of that clean clean.
I need the clean clean.
Make some new friends now.
Friends for just now.
My memories are falling away from me somehow.
But then I wake up and I feel brand-spanking new, a little confused, but I know that it's all true.
These dreams are happening right now.
