I walk up onstage Room is filled with chatter A hundred eyes on me My palms are sweaty The lights dim Spotlight on The noise fades Can't swallow the lump in my throat The administrator nods I take a breath First line I open my mouth Silence A single chuckle sounds through the audience More follow Tears well in my eyes Another breath Finally sound comes Voice crack Here we go again I begin the speech My hands are shaking Shift from foot to foot Voice gets quieter and quieter People lose interest fast Whispers drift easily to my ears What's wrong with her? Not even able to string a sentence together Tears are ready t

Oh ice cream Why art thou so grand? Your wonderful chocolaty flavour is heaven in my mouth You leave me in orgasmic rapture with each bite Oh ice cream Your smoothness Your sweetness It is nothing short of the greatest thing in the universe Oh ice cream How I long for you each moment that we are apart You, alone in the freezer And I, without your taste Oh ice cream Please do not tell me it is so Why are thou not in your usual spot? Have you deserted my taste buds in favour of another's? I have never wished anything more than to be with you Your absence will forever be a hole in my heart Oh ice cream Do not fret for my sake

The crowd quiets Watch the curtains raise Wait on the side The music starts In out In out The people onstage move Voices echo across the room Dancing, spinning and jumping Feel the vibrations through the floor In out In out The actors freeze See the lights dim A high C That's your cue In out In out One step forward Hundreds of eyes on you Throat tightens Chest moves In out In out Look up and smile Open your mouth Relax And breath In out In out

Laughing at you, they call Those names you know you are Trying to block them out But its no use Looking at the page Face flushing with shame The notes they wrote You can't ignore Walking home alone Tears running down your cheeks Body hurting from their touch Bruises will start to show Sitting a the table Parents screaming their hate Dissapointment in you They don't even try to hide it Sobbing in your bed You know it was all true Failures you can't erase Continue to pile up

Our lives are decided Not by a fate set down when we are born Nor by a being who governs us all They are not controlled by those around us Or those who are no longer We are not driven to reach one goal Not forced to fight one man We do not have to serve a god Our lives are not decided They happen as life comes And as life leaves Our lives are decided By the choices we make

I sit in a corner Covered in webs and dust Long forgotten by my owner My moving parts stop and rust My hands are frozen in place The numbers are no longer there to see All the beautiful designs are gone And no one will know they were there but me Eyes once would seek my knowledge Unable to continue without it each day Countless keepers housed me proudly All of whom have died and withered away Now my talent has dissapeared Replaced by those of modern times My single tone has become a joke Instead there are hundreds of chimes So now I sit in a corner Of a garage filled with old things I wait for someone to rewind me And liste

To you I call Trying to find myself Only you truly know me And can bring me back Help me be alive Escape this empty void I need to wake up from this nightmare My life is not a dream Force my eyes open Make me see the truth Remove the tape from my mouth And listen to me scream Save me from drowning Push my heart to beat Breath life into me And help me stand Open my soul Make me speak Pull my secrets out Then hold me as I cry Lift me from the wreckage Clean my wounds Nurse me back to health And take me home Give me purpose Teach me love Drag away the darkness Save me

Give me back my love Let us be together once again Let us enjoy our gift from above Return my heart I need her to survive We will never part Come back to me I cannot breath without you Come back to me Return my happiness My underserving possession She belongs to one who deserves less Let me hold her once more I need her so much It is she who I live for Come back to me My heart will stop beating Come back to me Come back to me You are my life Come back to me Come back to me
