No Driver
She was raised
A little copy of her mom
Those crinkly dresses
are no good for climbing trees
Please come down
And all those little do’s and don’ts,
they slowly wore her down
She turned away from what she was
to what she should become
For every day that passed
she fits better in the lie
But who cares?
Stand up straight
Sit down nicely
Produce good grades
Wear a smile
Make it wide
Make it last
So she grew up a splendid child
She could light up any room, with that smile
But she wonders
Why can’t I find my bloody anger
anywhere?
Cause all those little do’s and don’ts,
they slowly wore her down
She turned away from what she was
to what she should become
For every day that pass
she fits more perfect in the lie
But she don’t care no more
Stand up straight
Sit down nicely
Produce good grades
Wear a smile
Make it wide
Make it last
Now she’s a mother
She's got a daughter of her own now
Her pride and joy
But honey that dress
Is no good for climbing trees
Please come down and sit with me...

Desert sidewalk
To have a conversation with you
is like dancing in the desert sun
To reach even the smallest shelf of understanding
just can't be done
The trust will crumble down like a worn out jesus
and all that once was one is now in separate pieces
The desert wind of disbelief will make us come undone
And the cold wind
swept through my door step
Twisting my nightmare a little closer
Making me beg him
Making me beg him
Stay around
And in this desert of my mind, only dust falls from the sky
And as my tongue curls up to dry, you’re still a liquid to my eyes
To my eyes, to my eyes, to my eyes

Underwater Stories
Prickly skies stare at me, as I float out to sea,
The waves are haunted houses
Rolling right at me, rolling right at me
Telling jokes that I don’t get
But there's something below
right up close, it's pulling me down
my dress is turning to a flower, slowly twisting round my head
I wont break the waves no more,
cause the ocean is too grey
Now Im floating in stories, in stories
Sadness swims with worry
But giant whales from sad homes,
giant whales from sad homes,
they cheer me on
And as I float along, in this moonlit green,
bits of me keep drifting drifting off
And Im white as chalk, I am white as bone
White as wedding gowns back home
I won't break the waves no more,
the ocean is too grey
Now I'm floating in stories, in stories
Sadness swims with worry
Giant whales from sad homes,
giant whales from sad homes,
I won't break the waves no more,
cause the ocean is too deep
No stories, No stories, no stories
A quiet place to die for
But not my place to cry for
So I move on
The sky feeds off my tears, the sea feed of my bones no more.
Feeds off my tears. The sky, the sky, the sky, the sky ...
No more, no more, no more
I wanna see the poetry
Neither storm no flatline

Constant Smile
Have I twisted my weary head
Enough to make you feel safe
Have I twisted my gentle words
Enough to make you feel alright?
I am trying, pick the pieces, up from lying
But I'm learning, and improving, it comes automatic now
There's no effort, even comfort, when adjusting to your needs
It’s not too bad..
My garden grow no flowers for you anymore baby
Your face is a constant smile
A karma police, a faithful spy
Your face, wide eyes
But I'm not gonna lie,
I'm hiding a wilder child
Have I - told you?
Have I - told you?
My garden grow no flowers for you anymore baby
You crave it, yes you crave it
You want eyes all around
And when you find that true supporter
You are a splash to be around
But when center of attention falls
some place else
That's when your balance start to crumble
And it's time to raise hell
I see you shake, demanding
everyone to sign up
To be the happy frosting on the cake
the honey in your cup
I see a constant smile
spreading all across your face
But no futile words from you
is gonna make me stay
Have I lifted on my blond hair to show you how dark I can get?
Have I lifted on my blond hair to show you how dark I can get?
