DISCOVERING THE WATERFRONT
I will promise myself I won't care, distracting myself from your stare. And I've seen this mistake once before, wiith your games I will never fall for. I've hung up my guns. I won't kill again. I won't forget you. I'm not gonna let you win, but I'm tired of lying, tired of fighting you. And it's not going to change. You asked for my heart, you know that I'm down. But not the way you lie to me and tear it all apart. And beg for me to stay. I've sailed off to sea. I'm not coming back. Counting down, make that sound. And you know it makes no sense. Counting down, 'til you mess around. And I know you can't ever change. When I'm trembling, thrown overboard, and I'm ready to relive the past. Counting down, make that sound. Break the silence. Pretend it's not forever, I'll pull myself together, I'll say that I'll forget her I'll breathe. And I'll say she never hurt me, and look at it as learning, and laugh about the good and the bad. Because I won't live forever, we don't belong together, I know I'll feel better one day when I can make it through.

MY HEROINE
The drugs begin to peak. A smile of joy arrives in me. But sedation changes to panic and nausea, and breath starts to shorten, and heartbeats pound softer. You won't try to save me. You just want to hurt me and leave me desparate. You taught my heart a sense I never knew I had. I can forget the times that I was lost and depressed from the awful truth. How do you do it? You're my heroine. You won't leave me alone. Chisel my heart out of stone. I give in everytime. I bet you laugh at the thought of me thinking for myself. I bet you believe that I'm better off with you then someone else. Your face arrives again. A hope I had becomes surreal. But under your covers, more torture than pleasure. And just past your lips there's more anger than laughter. Not now or forever will I ever change you. I know that to go on, I'll break you my habit. I will save myself.

GIVING UP
I used to make the light shine for you. The sun has left my sky. Velvet walls surround my sorrows. I've sacrificed my pride. You're giving up on me. I've laid myself to sleep tonight. I know you've played out everything in your mind. And now you throw it all away. A shattered memory that you would stay, through thick and thin with me. You're giving up on me. And when you feel the pain, I'm wishing I could stay. How can I say I love you back, you never made me happy. You've laid yourself to sleep, I never said this wouldn't hurt. You gave up everything; I never said I'd give it back. I know you'll never change; I won't be good enough for you. I know, you'll make it through, I'll never be around to see.
