National (anthem)

I was a saint

I was a lady

I acted like none of it even fazed me. 

I was everything you'd need.

I was a soulmate

I was a friend

I could be counted on well past the end.

I held your hand. 


Don't blame it on me

Because I still care

I drink the pain

You hide the sorrow

That's how we make it until tomorrow


You weren't there

I didn't see you

We never made it out that evening.

Dark clouds above.

No more bleeding rainbows, love. 

Guy on the stage:

I'm scared to see you

I'm so deep in the well of disappointment

I don't see a way out. 


So don't put this on me, 

Because I still care

There's always hope

There's always fear

No sense in wishing we were still here. 


You took the friends

I took the house

You wanted the fence

At the expense

Of our hearts.

Parallel lines

We’re a pair of parallel lines You’re just like me We’re on the same path But we don’t ever meet You talk to all my friends  but me I guess I’m not that nice after all You You’re in the house up on a cloud Me I’m on a mission.

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 ...
