If I smiled just right
then would you stay...

Mommy can I tell you a secret?
Mommy, promise not to tell...

I'm running for salvation
but I never had a prayer...

The silence fills the shadows
echoes fill my mind...

If I had known beforehand
all the things you'd do...

It's short and it's sweet
and it's straight to the point...

I wonder if anyone’s listening,
if anyone other than me will ever read these...

I walked into the room today
and there you sat with her...

We were never much alike
me or you...

Sometimes i get lost in the words
in the world of illusion and magic and dreams...

He walked a path long beaten
he took a path well trudged...

It’s a dirty word
or maybe i just think that...
