- Anything But Blue
I took the same long walk home, I passed by old streets and my best memories about you and everyone else that I know and then
The sidewalk crept up to my knees, now I'm stuck looking at a handwritten map of a place I saw in my dreams
I'm still trying to find the way to the brighter side, and when you make it would you send me a postcard or two?
I know that it's sad to see but it's still hard to be anything but blue
I saw at the end of the street, I saw beautiful things, all my hopes and my dreams, go from good, bad, to worse in a moment it seems
And you, you got hung up with me too, now you're carving our names in the pavement and making us permanent residents

Take a long last look at everything that means anything to you and me, there's not a thing left to say, just watch it all fade away.

Today felt like Christmas more than Christmas day last year
No lights on strings, no caroling, no specials on TV
No disappointed dreams, no failing families
Just peace, sweet peace, in me

This is all I want.
- Minor Acts of Cannibalism
Sometimes I wish that I could see you staring back inside of me so when I open up my mouth I'd hear your words come pouring out, but I know
the grass is green and I still linger in between who I am and everyone I see
And sometimes, but just sometimes
I wish I could wake up wearing your skin, cause then I would be calm cool and collected and all the things I've never been
I want you to swallow my eyes so I can find out what's inside cause I wanna wear, I wanna wear you out.
