I Heard You Today

Messages come from the strangest places
Least expected faces
Worried, scaring
Don't die on my left strings and laces

Words don't fall on deaf ears
I am tired after all these years
I don't pretend I have no fears
but I party from behind lines and tears

I heard you today
Two people
Random and not
in the same way
Not my best friends I wouldn't say
But friends none the less if you think of me this way

Please don't you said
Please stop you said
Please don't die like the rest

I heard you today.

10 Steps

It seems as though we are on the precipice 
but the dark side keeps trying to reel me back in.
There's a temporary escape but there is more freedom in lightness

Lets spend the evening together 
Quickly turns into missed appointments and lost days
Missed calls and my flakey ways
I'm just too busy or too old in my heart
To play this game
Any game
Any heady relationship game
They all wanna play
They all wanna chase

I'd rather stay focused and in place
Than tired and out of step
10 steps behind where I need to be
Which is still ahead of you
Though I always say its not a race
10 steps ahead of you
Since you don't follow me anyway
10 steps and far away
Inside I know 
I'd rather not belong to you or anyone for that matter
Anyday

The Sun

Another ex boyfriend is moving out 
Because
A lioness does all the hunting
The city of angels is ruled by the sun

A nation under god but over medicated
What's the street called again?
It's named after a tree or flower or something
Let's drive there, no let's walk.
Yes, that will be much more fun.

I will live here in this sun
I will drive to Hollywood once we are done
I will sleep there once in a while
I will die when the sun goes down
