maybe with the lights out
youll see more clearly
maybe all the shiny things
distract you from your path
maybe when your soul is clear
youll see what you shouldve before
maybe with the lights out
your presence will be more than just a tease.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    is it wrong to be right
    to be left when youre done
    do i stand here staring
    with disbelief as you turn your back
    will i stick the pins in wishing you ill
    or do i rise with strength
    look your way and say never again.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    part one was good
    part two is even better
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    friday night i packed my bag
    and walked right out the door
    i never woke you, just left the key
    and let the darkness fade behind
    the middle of the night was the best time to go
    my resolve would have folded with you holding my hand
    not quite sure when it started to die
    but im glad it did cause that first step
    out the door without you allowed me to live
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    part III
    even better
    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke

    ever get the feeling when youre waiting that its all just wrong and you really shouldnt be here wasting time?
    ever get the feeling that even when hes free he aint and you doubt hell ever be?
    ever get the feeling theres a shadow creeping in and when the dark descends you find yourself caught up in bad dreams?
    ever get the feeling that the grip you hold on with is enough to squeeze your life too tight to breathe
    ever get the feeling...
    ... well...
    ... ever get the feeling your lifes just a compromise and that wont ever be enough
    hear my name

    so many words
    fall on deaf ears
    so many words
    kept deep within
    so many words
    make it hard to breathe
    so few words
    waiting to hear
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

  • catefrancescatefrances Posts: 29,003
    when presence feels like absence
    the aching bleeds from within
    when every word spoken
    is etched in stone
    interpretation makes no sense
    when absence makes my heart grow colder
    thats when ill turn away
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say
  • catefrancescatefrances Posts: 29,003
    i already know
    i always have
    or at least i think i do
    how can i be sure
    cause you never say
    i want to hear the words
    from your mouth
    i need to hear the words
    so i can walk away
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say
  • catefrancescatefrances Posts: 29,003
    after the rain when the teardrops stop
    when the calm prevails for a short time
    the earth she sighs, asks dont you know
    and i have to admit i never do
    she smiles holds me waits eternally
    for me one day to say i do know
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say
  • catefrancescatefrances Posts: 29,003
    i am everything youre not
    and everything you can never be
    i am everything you want
    and everything you can not reach out and take
    i am everything you ever thought yourself to be
    i am everything that reminds you
    of the nothing that you touch when you reach out in your sleep
    i am everything and i always will be
    the everything that made your heart beat
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    she sighs
    drains the last drop from the bottle
    and wonders what her life has become
    she does what she does
    lives her life as she should but still
    a part of her cant let go
    this lack of control angers her
    and she wonders why
    he puts himself in front of her
    only to turn his back when she reaches out
    its been a hard hard lesson
    and shes a stubborn learner
    she hates that something she should ace
    leaves her floundering with a fail grade
    she sighs
    and decides...
    ... nothing
    hear my name
    take a good look

    the full moon illuminates the night
    my feet on the grey grass
    my head some place else
    i move to one side
    absorbed by the dark edges
    my mind is full of you
    as it always is at this time
    pulling you to me
    like a moth to the flame
    the full moon fades
    on what is my undoing
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    she wonders why she bothers
    but then she thinks back
    and she remembers
    but now the doubt is greater
    than the desire and she knows
    what a bold call that is
    she wants to trust
    but the hanging leaves her cold
    she wants him to see what she sees
    but even still she wonders why...
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me

    she sighs, and decides... nothing.....

    just as im sinking
    you reach in and
    push me under
    despite my strength
    i drown in your weakness
    yet you never stop to think
    that reaching for
    your need
    washes the darkness
    right over my head.

    such a hard lesson
    or maybe im stubborn
    could it be you just dont listen
    when ask i you to leave me be
    itd make things so much easier
    for me. perhaps thats why
    you dont ever leave for good
    cause when you need me
    i wont be there. such a hard lesson
    ... maybe its yours and not mine to learn.

    Some deep stuff here cate. I like the way you write, sometimes feels like my own thoughts flowing across my mind

    the voice of absence
    sometimes is louder
    than the pain of anger
    it screams from within
    dissolving the strongest will
    yet making it stronher still
    the silence of your absence
    speaks louder than any declaration
    or excuse ever could.

    she tells herself his absence is good...that even when hes present her habit of counting the days til he inevitably runs makes her weak... it has her questioning her trust in him... she blames him for yo yoing.. she blames herself for allowing it... he tells her to get on with her life... she tells him thats all she does... when he leaves thats all she does... she tells herself his absence is good... and tries not to say his presence would be better.

    i said to you, please dont leave me hanging. you said you wouldnt... but you did.
    what kind of soul allows such disrespect?
    what lack of courage does it takes?
    what absolute gall it takes to reappear as if its all ok.
    i asked you all the questions and you said all the right things
    i guess after so long lying the words just fall from your lips
    you asked me what i wanted. what i needed
    and i told you as if it was important to you
    i said to you please dont leave me hanging
    yet once again you did.

    tomorrow when it all begins
    i wont be there to see it end
    i dont know where it all went wrong
    but i suspect it started at hi
    defeated ive given all i had
    the bloodletting satiated your vampire thirst
    tomorrow when it all begins
    stand beside me
    but i wont be there
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
