Snow White























Panicked, heartbreak, slowly recovering
Standing and then falling all over again
Head over no heels, collapsing in apple peels
Oh, Snow White why did you take a bite?

Flying and soaring, horizons are beautiful
Pastels, oil paints, you made it wonderful
But storms come, harsh winds, thunders roar
And that's when you escaped grasping my core

You're running with my heart somewhere afar
I'm gasping for breath wondering where you are
Please, if you're not going to stay return it to me
How can you just stand there and watch me bleed?

Lullabies until twilight, you have an angel's voice
Prancing captivated, but did she have a choice?
Was it all a feigned expression, was anything real?
Your pretty face smiled to keep the lies concealed

Chapters make pages, every word made a story
A diary in my sweet darkness about you and me
Halfway through is blotched ink, a drop of red
Like the lips of Snow White as she lay there dead

You're running with my heart somewhere afar
I'm gasping for breath wondering where you are
Please, if you're not going to stay return it to me
How can you just stand there and watch me bleed?

Slowly losing sight 
Dizziness prevails
Tell me, will I live the night?
Pressing a palm to my chest
There's no beat, no beat
Please give my heart back to me

You're running with my heart somewhere afar
I'm gasping for breath wondering where you are
Please, if you're not going to stay return it to me
How can you just stand there and watch me bleed?
(Repeat x2)

Panicked, heartbreak, slowly recovering
Standing and then falling all over again
Head over no heels, collapsing in apple peels
Oh, Snow White why did you take a bite?

Not Likely












(Intro: 
Listen,
I know I don't matter to you
I know you wonder why you're even talking to me still
But I hope you know I care for you anyway
Though you take me for granted each and every day)

Friday night and I'm curled up on the couch sittin' by the phone
Not really expecting a call from you, but I drag it on
Staring at the clock like it's the t.v., somehow it entertains me
Like a sad romance movie, damn it's gotten to me

Routine shower at this point to help myself cool down
Trying to hear the sound  of the water, but my thoughts come around
And unconsciously I'm thinking about being there with you
Speaking my mind for once, telling everything I've wanted to

How is it you don't care?
How is it I could just not be there?
How is it you'd never be aware if I disappeared
When I'm the only one who came for you?
Is it so easy to move on?
Would it matter if I'd suddenly gone?
When you didn't feel strong, do you remember
I helped you pull through?
It's not likely you do

I wrap up in the blanket and play some music to get me asleep
But the lyrics remind me of you and it makes me weep
I've changed the covers on my pillow, the cover of my life
And still you remain the same, closed me out from inside

I question what I did, blame it on my self, whatever the cause
My friends tell me it's not my fault and I guess it's really not 
But then why do you turn away from me, far away when I need you?
It's possible you simply don't recognize the pain my eyes construe

How is it you don't care?
How is it I could just not be there?
How is it you'd never be aware if I disappeared
When I'm the only one who came for you?
Is it so easy to move on?
Would it matter if I'd suddenly gone?
When you didn't feel strong, do you remember
I helped you pull through?
It's not likely you do

What hurts the most is that you don't even realize
That it's affecting me
You don't know that you're only talking about yourself
While I'm here supporting you in my prayers
Knowing if I need someone to help me, you won't be there
How?

How is it you don't care?
How is it I could just not be there?
How is it you'd never be aware if I disappeared
When I'm the only one who came for you?
Is it so easy to move on?
Would it matter if I'd suddenly gone?
When you didn't feel strong, do you remember
I helped you pull through?
(Repeat x1)

It's not likely you do, oh
It's not likely you do

Variations of Probable















Common-place and tie-dye
Multitudes of problems unsolved
Didn’t quite get the notion
Can we grow young while time grows old?

If we can invent fairies and nymphs
And some moments are unexplained
Then let God be a truth
Can we ever appreciate without pain?

It’s all hypothetical, ooh
It’s all questionable, ooh
Variations of probable, ooh
Perhaps there's truth in the fable

In a field of yellow daisies
Summer hazes are promised sweet delights
Even if a rose never blooms
Can’t love last beyond the night?

Typicalities and new fantasies
Limitless skies for creativity
Blessing to the individual’s talent
Can’t we shine within conformity?

It’s all hypothetical, ooh
It’s all questionable, ooh
Variations of probable, ooh
Perhaps there's truth in the fable

So many marks with a history and no answers
Through experience determination discovers
I know there’s more to you than they see
So I’ll close my eyes and dream past the concrete

It’s all hypothetical, ooh
It’s all questionable, ooh
Variations of probable, ooh
Perhaps there's truth in the fable
(Repeat x1)

Stormy Beach



Do you believe in a dream come true?
Do you believe it when they say you’ll pull through?
Could it be that they’re just feeling pity?
And you’re not falling for it now, Mr. Witty

It’s seem to be an illusion, but you’ve surpassed
Turn to the epilogue and happily ever after clearly doesn’t last
But could I be wrong, simply addicted to my past?
Maybe I’m just afraid that time’s going by too fast

Standing alone on a stormy beach
Shipwrecked by my own uncertainties
I’m lost in thought
Without tools to build my heart in whole
Some pieces are shattered, others are stole
And I’m lost in thought
In my mind I’m caught

 What is the point of going on we wonder sometimes
Why do we love those who evidently hurt our lives?
Don’t they tell you they care and disappear?
I wish I could travel back and listen to what I didn’t hear

I’ve been told a million times it’ll be better soon
When I’m sitting by the window crying to the moon
Wishing I could fly awhile attached to the string of a balloon
Is it possible I’m baffled in a self-created tycoon?

Standing alone on a stormy beach
Shipwrecked by my own uncertainties
I’m lost in thought
Without tools to build my heart in whole
Some pieces are shattered, others are stole
And I’m lost in thought
In my mind I’m caught

Oh, it’s a dangerous thing to permit the mind
This much time for thinking
Solitary moments when we’re reminiscing
Half of it is beautiful, but when you’ve lingered too long
The clouds turn grey, the sky fills with dismay
Philosophical contemplations gone disarray
So row a while and then return home or you’ll be

Standing alone on a stormy beach
Shipwrecked by my own uncertainties
I’m lost in thought
Without tools to build my heart in whole
Some pieces are shattered, others are stole
And I’m lost in thought
(Repeat x1)

In my mind I’m caught

Grown-Up World



I’m sitting in my car, staring in the rear-view mirror
How many hours has it been?
Why isn’t anything getting clearer?

She calls me and says come home, my little girl
But doesn’t she know I’m stuck in my grown-up world?

I turn the heater on, but my body’s already warm
Built up from a frenzy
Will I ever quell this burning storm?

He says, baby, I’ll be there for you, just ask
But doesn’t he understand a grown-up problem is no easy task?

Miles and miles of sitting still
Elbow pressed to the windowsill
Nothing matters, time is all I kill
Allowing my mind to go astray
I’m not sure how to fix this way
I hate the fact I’m parked here everyday

They come into my memory, arms outstretched
Step back, these responsibilities have triggered the wretched

Oh, grown-up world, grown-up world
I’d really rather be a little girl
