A Hole Dug Too Deep
by D'arcy Ruiz
Can the stars leave the moon?
Can love fade away?
Why couldn't you just say?
Why couldn't you just say?
A hole dug too deep
Can't be covered
An empty memory
Can't be filled
My life was missing one thing
And that was you
But where were you?
Not enough money
Or too many things to do
Can the stars leave the moon?
Can love fade away?
Why couldn't you just say?
Why couldn't you just say?
A hole dug too deep
Can't be covered
The world did not stop
I did not wait for the day
But time is something you can't spare
Now you want my life to share
Well when did you start to care?
Can the stars leave the moon?
Can love fade away?
Why couldn't you just say?
Why couldn't you just say?
A hole dug too deep
Can't be covered
They all know she'll be there
Before she hits the door
They won't know she's falling
'Til she's passed out on the floor
She's so tired but she can't sleep
Paints a smile on while she weeps
Cloudy gaze like Mother of Pearl
Happy, happy, happy, she's a party girl
Happy, happy, happy, she's a party girl
Blood shot eyes with liner
Blink back all the pain
She turns down a ride 'cause
She's gettin' used to walkin' in the rain
Obligations, priorities
Locked away with coping keys
Don't think now just give it a whirl
Happy, happy, happy, she's a party girl
Happy, happy, happy, she's a party girl
Push her buttons
She goes up and down like an elevator
Basement up to the penthouse
Anything so
Anything so you won't hate her
Don't sweat all the details
It's a mystery
How she seemed so normal when
She's really tumblinb from her tree
She thinks "God that party blew"
I can't believe what my friends do
Dance it off with a smile and a twirl
Happy, happy, happy, she's a party girl
Happy, happy, happy, she's a party girl
Middle School
by Tawnya Brammer
The kids behind me
The things they'd say
My only defense was to walk away
I made myself sick
Almost every day worrying
No meaning
No matter
This doesn't make us stronger
No meaning, no matter here
We're aging before our years
The kids behind me
The things they'd say
My heart would sink fast
Every time they walked past
No meaning
No matter
This doesn't make us stronger
No meaning, no matter here
We're aging before our years
The New Savior
by Conor Gilles
The water brings the blood of the Earth to the shore
The water brings the blood of the Earth to the shore
The new savior
Lives in the oceans
And he's dying with every dolphin
The water brings the blood of the Earth
To the shore
The waste you spill into the river
Soon every drop will be poison
The fish breathe it
The people drink it
And we wonder why
We wonder why we get cancer
The new savior lives in the ocean
And he's dying with every dolphin
The water brings
The blood of teh Earth to the shore
Lazy Boy
by Pete "the Count" Hachulla
A house burns
A country starves
I'm kicking back on the lazy boy
Wishing I had money to spend
Things to do
Places to go
But I don't know
Cars are fast
I'm a little slow
Day is night
Night is day
I'm kicking back on the lazy boy
Let the dog roam
Find his way home
Go crazy off the wall
I kick back on the lazy boy
Some people say
"Where did he go?"
Or "Who did that?"
"Where's my remote control?" I say
I say, I say, I say
A house burns
A country starves
I'm kicking back on the lazy boy
Where's my remote control?
Where's my remote control?
Junk In My Pocket
by Caleb Rosenau
A quest in the unseen depths
Of my pants pocket
Don't be knowin' the outcome
As my hand pulls from the chasm
At first it all seems fruitless then
A moment's hesitation
Second look in awe
Of all the previously undiscovered
Delights laying there before me
Oh it's the ode to my pocket
To the junk found in my pocket
And all the songs unsung
For the junk to be found
Inna my pocket
Inna my pocket
Inna my pocket
Perhaps a half
Dozen tatters and shards
Broken down by countless raids
From an unrelenting advisory
Whose watery grip squeezes
Imperfections from their residences
Tiny clouds trapped inside
An invisible atmosphere
Oh it's the ode to my pocket
To the junk found in my pocket
And all the songs unsung
And all the songs unsung
For the junk to be found
Inna my pocket
Inna my pocket
Inna my pocket
Mighty boulders wrapped in threads
Set free during times of summer
Pleasure
Off to the side away from others
Then I close my hand
They are warring nations
In one big struggle
Fighting blindly as they collide
And then I toss that wad of lint aside
Oh it's the ode to my pocket
To the junk found in my pocket
And all the songs unsung
And all the songs unsung
For the junk to be found
Inna my pocket
Inna my pocket
Inna my pocket
Standing At the Edge
of a Small Town
by Ken Howard
Standing all alone
Wondering where my life is gonna go
Leaving my heart in this place
Going where no one has
Every seen my face
Standing at the edge of a small town
Letting the wind take hold of me
Thinking who's gonna go with me
Where will it blow me?
Where will it blow me?
Laughing
Loving
Tired of waiting
Spinning around from this hesitating
Can't stop this feeling
Feels like I'm drowning
Standing at the edge of a small town
Letting the wind take hold of me
Thinking who's gonna go with me
Where will it blow me?
Where will it blow me?
It started out so long ago
And where we're going no one knows
Oh, it seemed so simple way back
when
That simple life I want again
If you love me
How am I supposed to know
If you need me
Would you please say so
If you'd wait for me
I may never go
If you love me
How am I supposed to know
Technology it must be good
At least they tell us that it should
We've got computers now instead of
friends
How's that better in the end
If you love me
How am I supposed to know
If you need me
Would you please say so
If you'd wait for me
I may never go
If you love me
How am I supposed to know
Tomorrow might be good, or it might
be bad
But when it's done with I'll be glad
It gets harder every day
To find true happiness I must say
If you love me
How am I supposed to know
If you need me
Would you please say so
If you'd wait for me
I may never go
If you love me
How am I supposed to know
All systems go, nothing's standing in my way
I should be far down the road
Something's holding me back
And I feel you by my side even though you're not
And all the days that we were waiting for our real lives to begin
Seem so precious now that we are counting from the other end
I long to go back there again
I know I'll find you there, my friend
Do you remember when we thought there was no end
Shooting stars around the sky
Do you remember when we built the rocket
And thought that we could make it fly
And all the days that we were waiting for our real lives to begin
Seem so precious now that we are counting from the other end
I long to go back there again
I know I'll find you there, my friend
Angels crying, you're so far away from me
Always trying to make you see
Angels crying now you cannot fly with me
No denying we were meant to be
And all the days that we were waiting for our real lives to begin
Seem so precious now that we are counting from the other end
And all the days that we were waiting for our real lives to begin
Seem so precious now that we are counting from the other end
Guess it's gonna be this way
Use it up another day
Is it in my head
Or in my genes?
I'll dust you off and wipe you clean
Standing at the gates of nowhere
Knocking but no one's home
Made the call but no one answered
Slept all day alone
Using time for nothing
But at least that's something
Called but the phone disconnected
No one called me back
Asked but she said no
Thought she would say yes
All these expectations
Where's the revelation?
My friends are all gone
Doing their own thing
Doing their own thing
My friends are all gone
Doing their own thing
Forgot to tell me where to go
Sitting here thinking about nothing
Wish I had something to do
Hole is caving in around me
Don't know how I'll pull through
Covered up in silence
Keeping me off balance
I got lots of dreams
Wonder if they'll ever come true
I'm tired of not knowing
What to do
Engine keeps on going
Directionless I'm flowing
A Father's Bond
by Danielle Kersey
A bond between father and daughter
Is strong from the start
Her father from the day of birth
Until it's time to part
A daughter grows and spreads her
wings
Waiting her time to fly
A father's there to hold her hand
Or listen to her cry
The years of life have gone by fast
Like a vivid memory far in the past
A father's heart of silver, brass, and
gold
His goal in life to help her hold
To mold his daughter, bring her up
right
To get this done sometimes he fights
The time will come when he passes on
She should know he's never really gone
In her heart he stays
In her heart he stays
She flies away
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
That's the sound of the old giant clock
Seconds come, minutes go
I'm getting older and that's all I know
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
That's the earth going around
I wake up and another day has gone by
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
That's the sound of the old giant clock
Seconds come, minutes go
I'm getting older and that's all I know
I waste a lot of time
Sleeping, playing games
I know now life is not always as it seems
Once you die, You'll never see a thing
Tick Tock, Tick Tock
That's the sound of the old giant clock
Seconds come, minutes go
I'm getting older and that's all I know
The sun comes up, the sun goes down
That's the earth going around
Seconds come, minutes go
I'm getting older and that's all I know
Lifetime of Change
by Michelle Hutton
I am a person of the inside
I only veer out the window to find my pride
When the sun is shining in a bright blue sky
As I sit and amuse of days gone by
I don't wipe the tears from my eyes
For then they would be satisfied
And the hate would be ratified
They only stared as if they didn't care
I fall into a deep, deep sleep
The memories of the past I do not keep
For the present is now
Love is no more
But for some reason my heart still soars
I don't wipe the tears from my eyes
For then they would be satisfied
And the hate would be ratified
They only stared as if they didn't care
I stand there with hate all around
But I don't hide under ground
I can feel the tears rising
And I can't stay long
that's not surprising
I don't wipe the tears from my eyes
For then they would be satisfied
And the hate would be ratified
They only stared as if they didn't care
I walked away at that point
Not knowing what impact I had
Maybe I couldn't change the present day
I really had no idea what to say
From the deep sleep I arose
I looked outside and froze
I realized everything had changed
And no longer were there bright yellow rays
But out of the gray came rain
I don't wipe the tears from my eyes
For then they would be satisfied
And the hate would be ratified
They only stared as if they didn't care
Eyes, eyes, eyes are watching all around
Eyes, eyes, and yet still I've not been found
I've been waiting around for, oh, so long
And I've finally figured out what's gone wrong
Everyone's got eyes
Why can't they see
How this modern world is alienating me
Eyes are watching all around
Eyes, eyes, and yet still I've not been found
Try to tell myself everything's all right
Can I keep from ending it all tonight
Everyone's got eyes
Why can't they see
How this modern world is alienating me
Eyes are watching all around
Eyes, eyes, and yet still I've not been found
Eyes, eyes, eyes are watching all around
Eyes, eyes, and yet still I've not been found
Try to tell myself everything's all right
Can I keep from ending it all tonight
Everyone's got eyes
Why can't they see
How this modern world is alienating me
Eyes are watching all around
Eyes, eyes, and yet still I've not been found
I've been waiting around for, oh, so long
And I've finally figured out what's gone wrong
Everyone's got eyes
Why can't they see
How this modern world is alienating me
Eyes are watching all around
Eyes, eyes, and yet still I've not been found
I feel as though I'm being slammed against a wall
Being rammed until my finall wall
I wish I could do it all
But I sit away my day
Thinking of what I wanted to be
I know I can't make my life for all to see
This brings me to my knees
Begging God, please, let me be
I don't want to be here anymore
With your hold on me
Let me be
Don't want to be here anymore
Don't want to be here anymore
Don't want to be here anymore
Don't want to be here anymore
Here within me
I don't want to be
Let me be
I don't want to be here anymore
With your hold on me
Let me be
I don't want to be here anymore
With your hold on me
Don't want to be here anymore
Don't want to be here anymore
Paint to a canvas
Like a religion to the soul
A bounce-tipped paintbrush
Fine as a mountaintop
Smooth and glossy
Bouncing bristles make the soft paint touch
Like snow spraying from my winter board
A steady brush handle is my striking sword
Fine textured bristles with a fresh hot wax
Create smooth strokes
While I race down the summit pass
Mind in a flurry down the mountin
Paintbrush in hand raising madness is the plan
Religion and a canvas
That is madness
Give Me Your Help
by Otis Jermaine Gulley
Give me your help
To live this one day
One decision to make
One problem to weigh
One path to discover
And choose the right turn
One worry to conquer
One lesson to learn
One moment of gladness
To overcome pain
One glimpse of the sun
One touch of the rain
One path to discover
And choose the right turn
One worry to conquer
One lesson to learn
No one can see
What is coming tomorrow
Or tell if its hours
Will bring laughter or sorrow
So I'll ask for your love
And I'll trust what you say
Give me your help
To live this one day
Now I Have Come Home
by Tammy Keller
For so long now I've been gone
I left when I was so young
I have traveled for
I have been everywhere
I have traveled for
I have been everythwere
And now I have come home
Now I have come home
I have come home
Sitting at the crossroads
Wondering where to go
I'm very doubtful
Lost and unknown
I go on ahead
I go on forward
I go on ahead
I go on forward
And now I have come home
I have come home
Now I have come home
I have come home
