  "Survive"

  Raging inside, outside so calm

  The calm that comes before the storm

  I don't want to ever lose what we have

  Friendship, strong and true

  I swear I'll never lose that

  Always I will give it.

  I act so strong before everyone

  How can you see it when I lie?

  How do you know when I'm not being true?

  What is it about you that makes me speak truth?

  Why can't I lie to you, like I've done before?

  Why do I still deny?

  Why do I use the word "friends"?

  Isn't it clear that that long ago was at its end?

  Friendship died, and something new came alive

  This time maybe, I'll let it survive.

  "Found Someone"

  I think of all the lies you told

  I remember now how your eyes were always cold

  You acted like you were a friend

  I can’t believe you’d rip the mends

  That you helped to heal

  You never were real

  A mask you wear

  Your lies are too much to bear

  So go on and smile

  You’re not the ones who’s fallen a mile

  How would you feel if you had been me?

  What can I do to make you see?

  I’m just like you, or so I thought

  Maybe I can’t blame you maybe that’s what you were taught

  I don’t care anymore what you think or say

  Your opinion doesn’t matter to me anyway

  I love someone they love me

  But that love you will never see

  My heart no longer jumps for you

  I have found someone new

  They love me for me

  Never again will you see

  My tears fall for you

  You hate me I know you do

  They love me for who I am

  They care for me like you never can

  "Hope"

  A new life a new hope

  Built up from what remained

  Of shattered dreams and hopes

  That were scattered all around

  Lost in that darkness for so long

  Finding my light

  Finding my happiness

  And finding my hope

  My inspiration and my love

  A reason to exist

  A reason to become stronger

  To see the strength that I possessed.

  Once hidden, and beaten down

  Lost inside myself

  Inspiration coming, from a dear friend

  A new light guiding me along

  Showing me there might be somewhere

  That I could belong

  Showing me love and showing me hope

  Guiding me when I feel unsure

  When the path turns dark and dangerous

  A hand reaches out to guide me back into light

  Guiding back to happiness

  Changing, this feeling, that I feel in my soul

  Reaching further, reaching into my heart

  Push it away, it won't do me any good

  It comes back and attacks again

  The light grows stronger,

  Shining on strength

  That I didn't know I possessed

  The strength, the love,

  Is that what this is?

  It's been so long,

  Since my heart felt this way

  I feel the hope deep in my soul

  The love and the happiness that she brings

  Give it to her, give her her own

  Her own hope

  Her own happiness

  Show her the beauty that she holds

  Doesn't Fit Into The Rest

  "The Raven That Drove Poe Insane"

  Quothe the raven "nevermore"

  I wonder raven, do you ever get sore?

  Does it get old to say that line?

  Does it get old, being in the rhyme?

  Do you know how to say anything else?

  Do you enjoy sitting, on Poe's shelf?

  Do you enjoy, staying there in his house?

  Do you possibly talk, to his pet mouse?

  Does he have one? I don't know.

  Maybe some night it will show

  Scuttling along the wooden floor

  It must really be a bore.

  Sitting on that bust

  Will you sit, until it begins to rust?

  Raven, Raven, why do you stay?

  Why don't you just fly away?

  Do you enjoy what you have done?

  Drove him insane, yes you are the one

  Your constant answer of "nevermore"

  Why did he ask you questions, knowing the answer in store?

  Raven, Raven, why do you stay?

  Why don't you just fly away?

  You tell me he's shut all windows and doors?

  So now you are trapped, in his house of horrors?

  Poor bird of ebony

  Your plight I see

  He locked you up in his home

  He locked the two of you up, so now his house you roam.

  Always answering that one word,

  Not another thing from your beak is heard

  Poor little raven, I feel your pain

  Maybe you can escape, when you destroy Poe's brain

  "Questions"

  Does the fire know why it burns?

  Does the world know why it turns?

  The wolf howls to the sky

  The eagle prepares to fly

  Do they know why they do what they do?

  Does the earth truly welcome the morning dew?

  Will any ever know?

  Why does the rain turn to freezing snow?

  At times it seems that nature is cruel

  But are not all simply obeying Fate’s rules?

  Does the fire know why it burns?

  Does the world know why it turns?

  "For A Dear Friend"

  So tired of this life I'm living

  Just have to keep on giving

  You gave it all you could

  Who would of thought that you would

  Be taken from me so soon

  Look upon the moon

  Hear the wolf sing its song

  Join me, sing along

  I hear your laughter in the air

  A sound that chases away the despair

  Always you were so kind

  I hear your voice in my mind

  You'll be here always by my side

  There's no more reason for you to hide

  Spread your wings, fly away

  Never again be lead astray

  "Missing"

  Screaming and no one hears

  Drowning slowly in all my fears

  Run away, away from the pain

  End it all there's nothing left to gain

  I miss you so much my friend

  I just want all the pain to end

  I hear your laughter in the air

  The pain is almost too much to bear

  Darkness surrounds me all around

  Feeling my heart begin to pound

  It's proof that I'm alive

  Into the darkness I will dive

  Sparkling gray before my eyes

  Drowning, suffocating in all the lies

  Why did you leave? Why couldn't you stay?

  Open your eyes and see the next day

  Do you hate me for breathing without you?

  For living each day, everything new?

  I want you here, yet you're so far away

  I wonder was there anything left for you to say?

  Do you regret not having the chance to say "I love you"?

  The same as I do too?

  "Fly"

  Seconds tick by

  Every moment something lets out a cry

  A cry of pain, of passion, of love

  Take flight on the wings
of a dove

  Flying free, flying far, flying away from pain

  Rushing through, escaping what is there to gain?

  Is there anything worth stay here for?

  Is something here? Is there something more?
