War My heart slowed down just the other day And my mind followed suit They both took it upon themselves To wage a war inside my body Day by day I slowed down more Thoughts repeating with my music The days drew longer and sadder I know the antidote but I cannot get it Someone else caged her away from me So for now I live on what hope I have But also with the knowledge of repetition What’s happened before will happen again And I'll soon be feeling this way once more The only thing that keeps me moving On that sublevel I'm at Is the notion that one day her and I Will both be free, will be
together But until the day that freedom is consecrated My heart and mind will duke it out And hopefully neither will win Because I tread a dangerously thin line Between what I should do and shouldn't do And to falter from that limbo at this moment Would mean the end of all that means anything to me Perplexed I hide my feelings sometimes Because I feel they are too strong I think I might scare you away And crush my spirit into oblivion I've told you some of my feelings And you didn't run away from me But since then my feelings grew And they are stronger than before My beliefs are getting stronger too But I still try and hide them Thinking you know how I feel But I don't complete your picture So it’s impossible for you to know This will keep on going on and on Till
the day I confide them to you And we'll be together forever But until that actually happens Things’ll stay the same for us Unless you force it out of me But I want to tell you everything And maybe I will now instead And right at this very moment You are as perplexed as I Strong The day I saw
you I was perplexed I out of the blue rejected you But I had to spend the day with you And I fell for you I was mad about you But I acted cool with my friends 'cause I'd look weak if I loved a girl I hardly knew But now that I'm with you I show everyone how great you are And they get sick of it, And they say I'm weak for the little things I do That remind me of you But they can't see through the fog They don't see us together Otherwise they'd know I was the strongest guy in the world Lover My lover is better than yours She is the most beautiful She’s
smarter than your lover She’s more clever than yours too I look at her and see All my dreams come true I see all the happiness in the world Even if she is down We really aren't lovers But it feels that way to me Because when we are together Nothing else matters All that is there is our love For one another, for our lives That’s why my lover is better than yours She makes me complete, and yours doesn't Why’d I want your lover anyway? I'm not into
that kinda thing The only person I love Is down the street and always there Even if I can't get to her right away She’ll be there the next week Or day or minute or second In my heart or mind, and hers too Looking In My heart is a needy one And it’s being malnourished Not on purpose mind you It’s just the way things are I look at your picture And I smile inside But outside there is a straight face Because my heart yearns But my mind
thinks It first thinks of the good times Because the heart told it to And then it thinks of oppression How you aren't allowed to be you And then I feel badly for you Though, my mind does wonder, I guess that isn't my business But my heart wants it to be For my heart also tends to be greedy
And I'm in the middle of it all Outside looking in Virus The notes come from the instrument And enter my ear My mind organizes the information And stores it away A virus fools with the storage And relates the music Into things it wasn't meant to be Those things are memories And good ones at that But the virus knows my situation And ferments the memories into sadness My mind tries to sort it out And falsely claims victory Giving my emotions an unreasonable high But the virus knows
better And cuts the legs out from under me Making me fall from my high place To the depression that has become the ground Until you come and pick me up again Stop Light The gear changes The car goes faster Red light comes on Car slows and stops Light changes Another one is near Red again Driver stops Starts to see more Through the fog Driver is tired Tired of slowing Tired of stopping All the lights are red And all he wants Is to get to the end Of the side street To pick up his girl To move on with life To grow up But people do things That turn on red lights And they don't realize it But he does And he wonders Should he take the chance? And blow through the lights Grow up too quickly Force freedom on his girl Get into a crash Get a citation Compromise his future Or should he sit And go by the rules Do what is expected Stop go stop go Experience each light In its entirety So if he comes up On one again He’ll know what to do And the next light Won’t be so bad And maybe his girl Will see him And go to where he is Get in the car And sit through the light too Knowing what's going to come At the end of that road
