Vicious circle

Lectures and guilt trips and conflict, oh my
Escalations and degradations
We just can't see eye to eye

One of us starts and the other continues
There's no escaping the cycle
One is flooded, the other's a genius

When neither one heals and hurt can't be soothed
Heart gets left behind
To follow your mood

Around and around
No one can win.

We're too defensive
Caught up in blame
It's too aggressive
To overcome the shame

Where is forgiveness?
Is kindness lost?

This isn't good for us
This isn't right
Let's call it a day
Instead of starting a fight.

What about joy?
How about fun?
Has love been forgotten
For the sake of tales spun?

A perfect picture
With a murderous soul
All of these parts
Do not make a whole.

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie.

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
