The Emotions Song

Life is filled with emotions
Wherever you go they walk with you
And all the time of every day
We find ourselves wondering what we could do or say
Our senses are there to guide us
A heart that's part of a world so large
And what you give is what you get
Expanding still with each and every breath
Happiness comes in moments
Make them last as long as you can
'Cause when we share is when we shine
And there's plenty of people who'd be happier if they tried
But feelings can be quite peculiar
Who knows why we do just what we do
Sometimes we're mean but it never works
'Cause when we're mean, even if we get we want, it hurts
Tears can make you feel better
There should be no shame in feeling sad
No matter how, how hard you try
Sometimes the the only thing you can do is cry
You must be brave to face your fears
And for something to grow it must change
We're meant to live and we're meant to die
'Cause without the darkness there would be no light
Can you hear that friend inside the gentle wind
You're both one in the same
And holding close a thought so dear
That softly whispers "I am always here"
You're never alone in the way you feel
We all know what it's like to laugh and cry
It always is, and it always was
And always will be done in the name...
Of love

When I can't say that "I love you" I forget everything I'd ever learned
Only to painfully bore you just for fear of speaking out of turn
But saving face just ignores you and aggravates the mastermind
Drains out all the sweetness from what it undermines
When I can't say that "I love you" it's like turning the other cheek
To avoid a head-on collision while screaming helpless in the back seat
Snapping till picture perfect you avert your gaze to what gives you relief
Whatever picks you back up and sweeps you off your feet
When I can't say that "I love you" I've let myself become hypnotized
By the ring of the vultures' permeating stare out of their beady eyes
Truth seeker, true believer, but always spiraling out of control
No natural ability just to let it go
When I can't say that "I love you" is when I'm prickly to the touch
to tap the vein of your virtue with a desperation that's just all too much
The dirty inside projections that play like it's normal day to day
If I could just say that I loved you then they would go away

Nobody Can

Who could be my everything when nothing is real?
Oh, nobody can
Take responsibility for the things that I feel
Oh, nobody can
Make all of my rock star dreams come true
Oh, nobody can
Bust down all the obstacles that keep me aloof
Oh, nobody can
Oh, won't you please help me out, out of this little pinch
I've got a disease that makes me never very happy again
I'm pushed through a sieve to be collected and displayed on a shelf
Where you can love my inner demons as you love yourself
Who could pay me compliments I'll choose to ignore?
Oh, nobody can
Be the rock of the relationship when I'm insecure
Oh, nobody can
Be a free spirit who just let's me tag along
Love me unconditionally, then leave me alone
Oh, won't you please help me out, out of this little pinch
I've got a disease that makes me never very happy again
I just can't believe that you rescued me from this sinking little ship
When all my needs and co-dependencies were drowning with it
