Burning Out

News 13's telling me I'm wrong to think there's right
Mama's telling me don't give up the fight
Society's telling me to drink it down and enjoy right now
Pull that band-aid off before there's doubt

Tomorrow don't look so bad
When today's sun is burning out
Slow down-
This race has just begun

Black and Blue

I've done enough.

Burned every bridge,

Hung in there tough.

And while we've been apart

I've searched every valley of my broken heart-

To find a piece of you in this empty space

Hoping for an undiscovered place.

I came up with nothing

Nothing to win, nothing to lose

Time has past and there's still a bruise.

Unattainable

We are so little in this big world of plans

Paths crossing without knowing

Intertwining grains of sand

Break me down, til we're torn

Chasing dreams that were never born.
